Comments, Data Types, Variables

Brainstorming

What is instruction

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 2


Head Lines
• Comments

• Data Types

• Variables

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 3


Comments
• Comments can be used to explain Python
code.

• Comments can be used to make the code


more readable.

• Comments can be used to prevent execution


when testing code.
3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 4
• Comments starts with a #, and Python will
ignore them
 #This is a comment
print(“Salam…")

 print("Hello, World!") #This is


a comment

 #print("Hello, World!")
3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 5
• Python does not really have a syntax for
multiline comments.

• To add a multiline comment you could insert a


# for each line:

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 6


#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print("Hello, World!")

Data Types
Built-in Data Types

• In programming, data type is an important


concept.

• Variables can store data of different types, and


different types can do different things.

• Python has the following data types built-in by


default, in these categories:

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 9
• In Python, the data type is set when you
assign a value to a variable:

• You can get the data type of any object by


using the type() function:
x = 5
print(type(x))

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 10


3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 11
• There may be times when you want to specify
a type on to a variable.

• This can be done with casting.

• Casting in python is therefore done using


constructor functions:

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 12


• int() - constructs an integer number

• float() - constructs a float number

• str() - constructs a string

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 13


Variables
• Variables are containers for storing data values
in memory.

• Python has no command for declaring a


variable.

• A variable is created the moment you first


assign a value to it.
3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 14
x = 5

y = "John“

print(x)

print(y)

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 15


• Variables do not need to be declared with any
particular type, and can even change type after
they have been set.

x = 4 # x is of type int
x = "Sally" # x is now of type str
print(x)

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 16


• A variable can have a short name (like x and y)
or a more descriptive name (age, carname,
total_volume).

• Rules for Python variables:

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 17


 A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore
character

 A variable name cannot start with a number

 A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and


underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )

 Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are three
different variables)

 A variable name cannot be any of the Python keywords.

Exercise (Lab Tasks)
1. Create a variable named x, and assign it a value of 20

2. We have a variable named x. Assign it a string value of "Hello


World".

3. Create two variables named x and y, and assign them with


values 10 and 20 respectively.

4. We have a variable named x which is assigned a value


of 'apple'. Print the variable x to standard output.

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 19


5. initialize three variables x, y, and z with the
same value of 'apple' in a single statement.

6. Create two variables named x and y, and assign


them with values 10 and 20 respectively.

7. We have a print statement that ought to print


the data type of x. Insert the built-in function
that returns the type of x, if x=“apple”
3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 20
8. What would be the type of x if
x = 3.14

print(type(x))

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 21


9. We have a variable named x which is
assigned an integer value 6, and a
variable y which is assigned with a floating
point number 2.95. We find the sum of these
two numbers, and store the result in
variable z. Then we print the data type of
variable z using type() built-in function. What
would be the type of z?

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 22


10)Type the built-function in the following,
where we read an input from user, and assign
the read input to variable x.

x=input()
print(x)

3/5/2024 Week2 \ Lec3 23


11.Read a greeting from user input and print it
with your name comes first.

12.Read your age from input and print message


I am xx years old
