Python Lesson - 6 Note

This document explains TypeErrors in Python, which occur when incompatible data types are used together, such as mixing strings and integers. It covers common causes of TypeErrors, methods for type checking like 'type()' and 'isinstance()', and details explicit and implicit type conversion. Examples of type conversion functions such as 'int()', 'float()', 'str()', and 'bool()' are also provided.

🔎 Type Checking in Python

Method Description

type(var) Basic type check

isinstance() Safer, supports inheritance

Using isinstance() with Multiple Types


✔️ Checking Multiple Types

isinstance(variable, (type1 , type2, type3))

Type Conversion (Explicit)


🔁 Type Conversion: Explicit (Casting) "5" → 5
Function Example Result

int() int("5") 5

float() float("3.14") 3.14

str() str(10) "10"

bool() bool("") False

Type Conversion (Implicit)


type conversion hierarchy
🧠 Type Conversion: Implicit
Float

Integer

Boolean

Python promotes int to float automatically.

int + float → float

int + boolean → int
