Python_Expanded_Data_Types

The document provides an expanded overview of Python's built-in data types, including integers, floats, strings, booleans, lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries, along with examples of their usage. It also explains type casting, which allows conversion between different data types using functions like int(), float(), str(), and bool(). Each data type is characterized by its properties and typical applications in programming.

Data Types Section)


4. Data Types and Type Casting (Expanded)
Python has several built-in data types that are used to store values of different types:

**1. Integers (int)**:


Integers are whole numbers without a decimal point. They can be positive or negative.
Used for counting, indexing, loops, etc.
Example:
x = 10
y = -5
print(x + y) # Outputs 5

**2. Floating Point Numbers (float)**:


Float represents real numbers with a decimal point. Useful in scientific calculations.
Example:
pi = 3.14
radius = 2.0
area = pi * (radius ** 2)
print(area)

**3. Strings (str)**:


Strings are sequences of characters, used to store text.
Strings are immutable and can be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Example:
name = 'Alice'
greeting = "Hello, " + name
print(greeting)

**4. Booleans (bool)**:


Booleans represent one of two values: True or False.
Used in conditional statements and logical operations.
Example:
is_valid = True
print(is_valid)

**5. Lists**:
Lists are ordered, mutable collections of items.
They can contain elements of different types.
Example:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
numbers.append(5)
print(numbers)

**6. Tuples**:
Tuples are ordered, immutable collections.
They are faster than lists and used for fixed collections.
Example:
coordinates = (10.0, 20.0)
print(coordinates)

**7. Sets**:
Sets are unordered collections of unique elements.
Used to perform set operations like union, intersection.
Example:
unique_numbers = {1, 2, 2, 3}
print(unique_numbers) # Outputs {1, 2, 3}

**8. Dictionaries (dict)**:


Dictionaries store key-value pairs. Keys must be unique and immutable.
Used for mapping, configurations, storing JSON-like data.
Example:
person = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}
print(person['name'])

**Type Casting**:
You can convert data from one type to another using type casting functions:
- int(): Converts to integer
- float(): Converts to float
- str(): Converts to string
- bool(): Converts to boolean
Example:
x = int('5') # Converts string to int
print(x + 2)
