keyboard_arrow_down Variable Declarations & Printing in Python

Here we will understand how to declare variable in python and print them.

Task: Declare three variables and understand their data types.

Steps:

1. Assign the following values:

x as an integer (e.g., 10)

y as a float (e.g., 20.5)
z as a string (e.g., "Python")

2. Print each variable.

3. Print the type of each variable using type() .

# Step 1: Declare variables

x = 10 # Fill in an integer value
y = 4.0 # Fill in a float value
z = "apple" # Fill in a string value

# Step 2: Print variables

print("x:", x)
print("y:", y)
print("z:", z)

# Step 3: Print data types

print("Type of x:", type(x))
print("Type of y:", type(y))
print("Type of z:", type(z))

# Step 4: Try to declare a new variable and print its value.

# Start your code here #
a = "orange"
print("a:", a)

x: 10
y: 4.0
z: apple
Type of x: <class 'int'>

keyboard_arrow_down Dynamic Printing

Trying to understand how to take a variable directly from the user and print its value.

Task: Declare a variable and print it dynamically by taking user's input.

Steps:

1. Assign a variable and take user's input as its value.

2. Print the variable.

#Step 1: Take user's input.

user_num = int(input("Please enter your number : "))

#Step 2: Print the number.

# Making use of f-string literal, which is used to add values within curly braces.
print(f"Your number is {user_num}")

Please enter your number : 10

Your number is 10

keyboard_arrow_down Working with basic data types.

There are different data types in python. In the previous questions, you worked with integers, float, complex and strings. Now,
We will work and understand List, Tuple, Range & Dictionary.

The list can be represented by [ ], e.g. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

A tuple can be represented by ( ), e.g. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
The set can be represented by { }, e.g. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
The dictionary can be represented by { }, e.g. {"name":"John", "age":45}

Creating these data-types

new_list = []
new_tuple = ()
new_set = set()
new_dict = {}

Task: We will be understanding how to work with list, tuple, range and dictionaries.

Steps:

1.)Create a list fruits with the values "apple", "banana", "cherry".

2.)Create a tuple coordinates with values 10, 20, 30.
3.)Create a dictionary student with keys "name", "age", and "grade" Assign values "Alice", 22, "A".

Print each data structure.

# Step 1: Define the data structures

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] # Fill in a list of strings, e.g., ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
coordinates = (5,6,7) # Fill in a tuple of numbers, e.g., (10, 20, 30)
student = {"name": "Anu", "age": 5} # Fill in values

# Step 2: Print the data structures

print("Fruits list:", fruits)
print("Coordinates tuple:", coordinates)
print("Student dictionary:", student)

Fruits list: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

Coordinates tuple: (5, 6, 7)
Student dictionary: {'name': 'Anu', 'age': 5}

keyboard_arrow_down Working with Tuple

1. Create a tuple colors containing random numbers.
2. Access and print the second element of the tuple.
3. Try to modify the third element of the tuple and observe the result.

# Step 1: Define the tuple

number_tuple = (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

# Step 2: Access and print the second element

print("Second number",number_tuple[1]) # Try to print the second number from the tuple.

print("Third number:", number_tuple[2]) # Using indexing to access the third element from the tuple.

# Step 3: Try modifying the tuple (uncomment the line below and run it)
# number_tuple[2] = 10
# print(number_tuple)
# tuple can not nbe modified

# Try to understand what happened after you tried to change a tuple.

Second number 4
Third number: 3

keyboard_arrow_down Working with Sets

1. Create a set prime_numbers with the values 2, 3, 5, 7, 11
2. Add 13 to the set using add().
3. Remove 7 from the set using remove().

Print the final Set.

# Step 1: Define the set

prime_numbers = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11} # Fill in a set, e.g., {2, 3, 5, 7, 11}

# Step 2: Modify the set

# prime_numbers.add(__) # Add 13
# prime_numbers.remove(__) # Remove 7
prime_numbers.add(13)
prime_numbers.remove(7)

# Step 3: Print the final set

print("Final set of prime numbers:", prime_numbers)

Final set of prime numbers: {2, 3, 5, 11, 13}

keyboard_arrow_down Working with Dictionaries

1. Create a dictionary inventory with keys "apples", "bananas", and "oranges" having values 10, 20, and 15, respectively.
2. Add a new key-value pair: "grapes": 12.
3. Update the value of "bananas" to 25.
4. Remove the key "oranges" using pop().

Print the final dictionary and its length.

1. Start with the dictionary car = {"brand": "Toyota", "model": "Corolla", "year": 2020}.
2. Add a new key-value pair: "color": "red".
3. Update the value of year to 2022.
4. Remove the key model.

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1_FCK0PBB7xWgcDRuoEla71Yq4D9tgZRp#scrollTo=dRFYs10zvofa&printMode=true 3/9

Print the final dictionary.

# Step 1: Define the dictionary

inventory = {"apples": 10, "bananas":20, "oranges":15} # Fill in values, for example in apples.

# Step 2: Modify the dictionary

inventory["grapes"] =12 # Add "grapes": 12
inventory["bananas"] =25 # Update "bananas" to 25
inventory.pop("oranges") # Remove "oranges"

# Step 3: Print the dictionary and its length

print("Updated inventory:", inventory)
print("Number of items in inventory:", len(inventory))

Updated inventory: {'apples': 10, 'bananas': 25, 'grapes': 12}

Number of items in inventory: 3

# Step 1: Define the dictionary

car = {"brand": "Toyota", "model": "Corolla", "year": 2020}

# Step 2: Modify the dictionary

car["color"] = "red" # Add "color": "red"
car["year"] = 2022 # Update "year" to 2022
del car["model"] # Remove the "model" key

# Step 3: Print the modified dictionary

print("Updated car dictionary:", car)

Updated car dictionary: {'brand': 'Toyota', 'year': 2022, 'color': 'red'}

keyboard_arrow_down Working with List

1. Start with the list numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
2. Add 6 to the end of the list using append().
3. Insert 0 at the beginning of the list using insert().
4. Remove the number 3 using remove().
5. Sort the list in ascending order using sort().

Print the modified list and its length.

# Step 1: Define the list

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Step 2: Modify the list

numbers.append(6) # Add 6 in the bracket.
numbers.insert(0, 3) # Insert 0 at index 0: num.insert(number to be added, the index you want to add)
numbers.remove(3) # Remove 3
numbers.sort() # Sort the list

# Step 3: Print the modified list

print("Modified list:", numbers)
print("Length of the list:", len(numbers))

Modified list: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Length of the list: 6

keyboard_arrow_down Basic arithmetic operations

Hint: Use operators like +, -, , /, %, //, and *.

# Step 1: Declare variables

a = 8 # Fill in a value, e.g., 8
b = 3 # Fill in a value, e.g., 3

# Step 2: Perform operations

print("Addition (a + b):", a + b)
print("Subtraction (a - b):", a - b)
print("Multiplication (a * b):", a * b)
print("Division (a / b):", a / b)
print("Modulus (a % b):", a % b)
print("Exponentiation (a ** b):", a ** b)
print("Floor Division (a // b):", a // b)

Addition (a + b): 11
Subtraction (a - b): 5
Multiplication (a * b): 24
Division (a / b): 2.6666666666666665
Modulus (a % b): 2
Exponentiation (a ** b): 512
Floor Division (a // b): 2

keyboard_arrow_down Understanding Control Flow & Operators

Control flow and operators are essential in programming because they form the foundation of logic and decision-making,
enabling developers to create dynamic, efficient, and functional programs.

Relational Operators

Used for comparing values. Returns a boolean value

# Step 1: Declare two numbers

a = 15
b = 10

# Step 2: Compare the numbers

print("Is a equal to b?", a == b) # Equality check
print("Is a not equal to b?", a != b) # Not equal check
print("Is a greater than b?", a > b) # Greater than check
print("Is a less than or equal to b?", a <= b) # Less than or equal check

Is a equal to b? False
Is a not equal to b? True
Is a greater than b? True
Is a less than or equal to b? False

keyboard_arrow_down Logical Operators

AND
OR
NOT

# Step 1: Input a number

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1_FCK0PBB7xWgcDRuoEla71Yq4D9tgZRp#scrollTo=dRFYs10zvofa&printMode=true 5/9
07/02/2025, 19:40 Day1-Python-Assignment 1.ipynb - Colab

# Step 2: Use logical operators

if num > 0 and num % 2 == 0:
print("The number is positive and even.")
elif num > 0 and num % 2 != 0:
print("The number is positive and odd.")
else:
print("The number is either zero or negative.")

Enter a number: 2
The number is positive and even.

keyboard_arrow_down Control Flow (If-Elif)

Control flow structures allow programs to make decisions based on conditions, enabling dynamic behavior. Example: Executing
different actions based on user input or system states.

# Step 1: Input a number

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

# Step 2: Check the conditions

if num>0: # Replace __ with a condition to check if num > 0
print("The number is positive.")
elif num<0: # Replace __ with a condition to check if num < 0
print("The number is negative.")
else:
print("The number is zero.")

Enter a number: 4
The number is positive.

# Step 1: Input student marks

marks = int(input("Enter your marks (0-100): "))

# Step 2: Categorize the student

if marks>=90: # Replace __ with a condition to check marks >= 90
print("Grade: A")
elif marks>=75: # Replace __ with a condition to check marks >= 75
print("Grade: B")
elif marks>=50: # Replace __ with a condition to check marks >= 50
print("Grade: C")
else:
print("Grade: F")

Enter your marks (0-100): 78

Grade: B

keyboard_arrow_down Loops in Control Flow

Now, we will learn to execute a code through loops. There are two ways to utilise loops. One being the for loop and the other
being the while loop.

The syntax for these are given below:

for i in range(0, 10):

##code to be executed.

while(true):
##code to be executed
##exiting the loop.

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1_FCK0PBB7xWgcDRuoEla71Yq4D9tgZRp#scrollTo=dRFYs10zvofa&printMode=true 6/9
07/02/2025, 19:40 Day1-Python-Assignment 1.ipynb - Colab
# Step 1: Input a number
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

# Step 2: Use a loop to generate the table

print("Multiplication Table:")
for i in range(1, 11):
print(num*i) # Replace __ with the multiplication formula, e.g., num * i

# Step 3: Print only the even numbers from 1 to 50.

for num in range(51):
print(num)

# Step 3: Use a while loop

while i<=n: # Replace __ with a condition to run while i <= n
sum += i
i += 1

print("Sum of numbers from 1 to", n, "is:", sum)

Enter a positive integer: 4

Sum of numbers from 1 to 4 is: 10

keyboard_arrow_down Use of Break and Continue

break

Immediately exits the loop

Stopping further iterations.
It's useful for terminating a loop early when a specific condition is met, improving efficiency.

continue

Skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.

It's helpful for ignoring certain cases without stopping the entire loop, maintaining control over logic flow.

# Step 1: Use a for loop to iterate from 1 to 10

for i in range(1, 11):
if i == 7: # Condition to stop the loop
print("Encountered 7, stopping the loop.")
break # Stop the loop
print(i) # Print the current number

# Execute a code where it prints numbers from 1 to 10 but when we encounter 5 it breaks.

continue # Skip this iteration
print(i) # Print the current number

# Code a loop which continues on even numbers and prints odd numbers in the range(0 to 10).
