    Types of Scripting Language

    Uploaded by

    Ashish Mundhada
    This document summarizes data types in scripting languages like Python. It notes that Python uses dynamic typing where types are checked at runtime. The main data types in Python include strings, lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries, integers, and floats. Lists can be used to build complex data structures and support functions like append, pop, filter and map. Python also supports object-oriented programming with classes, objects, methods and special constructor syntax.

    Types in Scripting Languages

    CS 351 – Programming Paradigms


    Data Types in Python
     Scripting languages don’t generally require or allow the
    declaration of types ofr variables.
     Most perform a series of run-time checks to make sure
    that values are used in an appropriate way.
     Python is strongly typed with operations enforced at
    run-time.
     The type system is Python is known as ``duck typing’’.
     This informally allows the type of a value to be
    determined via the following rule:
     “If looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck”
    Data Types in Python
     Python uses the reference model for its types.
     Some built-in types in Python include:

    Type Kind Syntax Example


    str String ‘hello‘
    list Sequence [4.0, 'string', True]
    tuple Sequence (4.0, 'string', True)
    set Set set([4.0, 'string', True])
    dict Mapping {'key1': 1.0, 'key2': False}
    int Integer 42
    float Number 3.1415927
    Examples
     s = “hello”
     r = 56
     l = [1,2,3]
     t = (56,78,54)
     dict = { ‘one’ : 1, ‘two’:2 }

     We can just initialise the types and the interpreter


    takes care of the rest.
    Lists in Python
     Lists can form the basic blocks of most complex data
    structures in Python.
     l = [1,2,3,4]
     l.append(5)
     print l # prints [1,2,3,4,5]
     l.pop
     print l # prints [1,2,3,4]
     l.pop(0)
     print l # prints [2,3,4]
    Lists and the filter and map
    functions
     We can define an arbitrary function
     def f(x): return x%2==0
     filter ( f, range ( 2, 100 ) )

     Defining another function:


     def g(x): return x+4
     map ( g, range (4, 16) )

     What are doing here?


     What paradigm is this?
    Object Orientation
     Python is explicitly object-oriented.
     To define a class in Python we use the following
    syntax:

    class myclass:
    “This class shows Python Syntax”
    intval = 12345
    def printsomething(self):
    return “hello world”

     We can create objects simply:


    x = myclass()
    print x.printsomething()
    Object Orientation
     The constructor for a Python class has special syntax.

    class myclass:
    def __init__ (self, list ) :
    self.data = list # assign list to data

    x = myclass ( [1,2,3,4,5] )
    print x.data # what is printed?
    Object Orientation
    class Shape:
    def __init__ (self) :
    self.name = “Shape”

    def printName (self) :


    return self.name

    def getArea (self ) :


    return 0
