Experiment no 3

Python Data Types (Lists, Sets, Dictionaries, Tuples)

OBJECTIVES:

• To learn different datatypes of python.

• To learn Lists, Sets, Dictionaries, Tuples and their uses for different problems.

1. LISTS:

Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable.

Lists are one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data, the other 3 are Tuple,
Set, and Dictionary, all with different qualities and usage.

Lists are created using square brackets:

Figure 1: Lists in Python

2. SETS:

Sets are used to store multiple items in a single variable.

A set is a collection which is unordered, unchangeable*, and unindexed.
Set items are unchangeable, but you can remove items and add new items.

Figure 2: Sets in Python

2.1 Duplicates Not Allowed

Sets cannot have two items with the same value.

3. DICTIONARIES

• Dictionaries are used to store data values in key:value pairs.

• A dictionary is a collection which is ordered*, changeable and do not allow duplicates.
• Dictionary items are ordered, changeable, and do not allow duplicates.
• Dictionary items are presented in key:value pairs, and can be referred to by using the key name.

4. TUPLE
• Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable.
• Tuple is one of 4 built-in data types in Python used to store collections of data, the other 3
are List, Set, and Dictionary, all with different qualities and usage.
• A tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable.
• Tuples are written with round brackets.

5. ACTIVITIES:

A1) Write a code for lists and also show how to add remove an item in list as well
as show the loop through list.
A2) Write a code for sets and also show how to add remove an item in list as well as show
the loop through list.
A3) Write a code for dictionaries and also show how to add remove an item in list as well
as show the loop through list.
A4) Write a code for tuple and also show how to add remove an item in list as well as
show the loop through list.
IMPORTANT: All the activities` code should be attached to the manual before summary section.
 Lab Exercise and Summary
Summary should cover Introduction, Procedure, Data Analysis and Evaluation.
