Getting Started with

Python
Learning Objective

To be able to
 Explain different types of Literals
 Predict size of the string
Literals
 Literals(oftenreferred to as constant-Values) are data
items that have a fixed value.
String Literals
 String Literal is a collection of character(s) enclosed in a
double or single quotes.

 In Python both single character or multiple characters


enclosed in quotes such as 'hello',"hello",'+',"*" are treated as
same.

 Nongraphic characters are those characters that cannot be


typed directly from keyboard. e.g., backspace, tabs,
carriage return etc. Can be represented by using escape
sequences.

 An escape sequence is represented by backslash(\) followed


by one or more characters.
Escape Sequences

Size of the String
 For multiline strings created with triple quotes, while
calculating size, the EOL (end-of-line) character at the end
of the line is also counted in the size.

 Backslash at the end of string will not be counted while


calculating the size.

Points to remember

 You can check the type of the literal using type() function

Numeric values with commas are not


considered as int or float value, rather
Python treats them as tuple.
