VARIABLES, DATA TYPES, & INPUT
 OBJECTIVES
Declare Variables
Understanding Variable Datatypes and Identifiers
Printing Variables
User Input to Variables
Casting Variables
Arithmetic Operations
Make a ONE Function Calculator
 VARIABLES
Variables are used to store up data for later use.

BASIC DATA TYPES

string (Sentences, Phrases, Characters): identifier = “Hello World”
int (Positive & Negative Numbers): identifier = 9
float (Decimal Numbers): identifier = 38.5237
bool (True or False): identifier = true
 IDENTIFIERS
The name of the variable which the user decides to
choose.
Syntax:
Identifier = value

firstName = “Juan”
lastName = “Dela Cruz”
ADVANCED DATA TYPES
list frozenset
tuple bytes
dict bytearray
set memoryview
 print()
Used to display something in the console.

Syntax:
print(variable)
 input()
Used to make the user input something in the
console.
Syntax:
variable = input()
variable = input(”Enter Something: ”)
 Casting Variables
A technique used to convert a datatype to another
datatype.
Syntax:
Convert Numbers to String
str(number)
Convert String to Numbers
int(string)
float(string)
 Arithmetic Operators
Used to perform mathematical operations inside
our programming language.
Arithmetic Operators
 Make a One Function Calculator
Try to create a program that will perform one of the
arithmetic operators when the user inputs 2 numbers.
Sample Output:
First Number: 25
Second Number: 20

25-20 = 5
 Lists
A Read and Write Collection of variables that may
be used to sort certain data.
Syntax:
identifier= [value, value1, value2]
courses= [”BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”]
ADVANCED DATA TYPES
list frozenset
tuple bytes
dict bytearray
set memoryview
 Lists
A Read and Write Collection of variables that may
be used to sort certain data.
Syntax:
identifier= [value, value1, value2]
courses= [”BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”]
 Reading WHOLE Lists
You can read a list by printing the whole.

Syntax:
print(list)
 Reading Lists ITEMS
You can read a list by printing one of the Items
inside it by using an INDEX.
Syntax:
print(list[index])
 Index
The number of where an item is on a collection.

+ INDEX: 0 1 2
- INDEX: -3 -2 -1
courses = [”BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”]
 Reading Lists RANGE
You can read a list’s range of items by specifying a
range of indexes.
Syntax:
print(list[startIndex : endIndex])
print(list[ : endIndex])
print(list[startIndex : ])
Note: endIndex Item is excluded.
 Assigning List ITEMS
You can assign a list item by using an INDEX and
an Assignment Operator “=”
Syntax:
list[index] = value
list[0] = “Rose”
 List LENGTH
You can check the number of items in a list by using
the len() function.
Syntax:
len(list)
 List COUNT
You can count how many times an item occurs in a
list by using the count() function.
Syntax:
list.count(value)
 List ADD ITEMS by APPEND()
append() adds an item at the END OF THE LIST.

Syntax:
list.append(value)
list.append(”Rose”)
 List ADD ITEMS by INSERT()
insert() adds an item at the SPECIFIED INDEX.

Syntax:
list.insert(index, value)
list.insert(0, ”Rose”)
List DELETING ITEMS by REMOVE()
remove() deletes an item based on their value.

Syntax:
list.remove(value)
list.remove(”BSIT”)
 List DELETING ITEMS by POP()
pop() deletes an item based on their index but if
index is not specified it deletes the last item.

Syntax:
list.pop()
list.pop(index)
 List DELETING ITEMS by DEL()
del deletes an item based on its index but if the
index is not specified it deletes the whole list.

Syntax:
del list[index]
del list
 Clearing a List
clear() deletes all the values in a list.

Syntax:
list.clear()
 Copying a List
copy() copies the whole list which can be assigned
to a new list.

Syntax:
listOne = [’’BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”]
listTwo = listOne.copy()
COMBINING Lists BY ADDING
You can use ‘+’ operator to combine lists.

Syntax:
listOne = [’’BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”]
listTwo = [’’Rose”, “Twinkle”, “Daisy”]
listThree = listOne + listTwo
 COMBINING Lists BY EXTEND()
extend() combines lists by appending the specified
list to the end of the first list.

Syntax:
listOne = [’’BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”]
listTwo = [’’Rose”, “Twinkle”, “Daisy”]
listOne.extend(listTwo)
 REVERSE Lists Items
reverse() Reverses the order of the List’s Items.

Syntax:
list.reverse()
 SORT Lists Items
sort() Sort’s List’s Items by Alphabet or Value
depending on the datatype.
Syntax:
list.sort() #Ascending Order
list.sort(reverse=True) #Descending Order
 NESTED Lists
A List inside a List also known as sublist.

Syntax:
courses = [”BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”, [”Rose”, “Daisy”]]
 Tuples
A Read-ONLY Collection of variables that may be
used to sort certain data.

Syntax:
identifier = (value, value1, value2)
courses = (”BSIT”, “BSCS”, “BSCPE”)
 Tuples
1. Can be READ
2. Can be COMBINED
3. CAN be DELETED COMPLETELY
4. CAN’T be ASSIGNED
5. CAN’T be DELETED ONE BY ONE
Casting TUPLES and LISTS
Convert List to Tuple
tuple(list)
Convert Tuple to List
list(tuple)
Casting TUPLES and LISTS
Convert List to Tuple
tuple(list)
Convert Tuple to List
list(tuple)
