 DATA HANDLING
Data Types
Data Type specifies which type of value a variable
can store. type() function is used to determine a
variable's type in Python.

2 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
Data Types In Python
1. Number
2. String
3. Boolean
4. List
5. Tuple
6. Set
7. Dictionary

 DATA TYPES
Mutable and Immutable Data type
 A mutable data type can change its state or contents and immutable data type cannot.

Mutable data type:

list, dict, set, byte array
Immutable data type:

int, float, complex, string, tuple, frozen set [note: immutable version
of set], bytes

Mutability can be checked with id() method. x=10

print(id(x)) x=20
print(id(x))
#id of both print statement
is different as integer is
immutable

 DATA TYPES
1. Number In Python
It is used to store numeric values

Python has three numeric types:

1. Integers
2. Floating point numbers
3. Complex numbers.

5 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
1. Integers
Integers or int are positive or negative numbers with no
decimal point. Integers in Python 3 are of unlimited size.
e.g.

a= 100
b= -100
c= 10*20 print(a)
print(b) print(c)

Output :-

100
-100
200

 DATA TYPES
Type Conversion of Integer
int() function converts any data type to integer.
e.g.
a = "101" # string
b=int(a) # converts string data type to integer.
c=int(122.4) # converts float data type to integer.

print(b)
print(c)Run Code
Output :-
101
122
7 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
2. Floating point numbers
It is a positive or negative real numbers with a decimal point.
e.g.
a = 101.2
b = -101.4
c = 111.23
d = 2.3*3
print(a) print(b) print(c)
print(d)

Output :-
101.2
-101.4
111.23
6.8999999999999995

8 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
Type Conversion of Floating point numbers
float() function converts any data type to floating point
number.
e.g.
a='301.4' #string
b=float(a) #converts string data type to floating point number.
c=float(121) #converts integer data type to floating point number.
print(b)
print(c)

Output :-
-301.4
121.0

 DATA TYPES
3. Complex numbers
Complex numbers are combination of a real and
imaginary part.Complex numbers are in the form of X+Yj,
where X is a real part and Y is imaginary part. e.g.
a = complex(5) # convert 5 to a real part val and zero imaginary part
print(a)
b=complex(101,23) #convert 101 with real part and 23 as imaginary part
print(b)
Output
(5+0j)
(101+23j)

 DATA TYPES
2. String In Python
A string is a sequence of characters. In python we can create string using single (' ') or double quotes ("
").Both are same in python.

e.g.
str=‘computer science'
print('str -', str) # print

print('str[0]-‘,str[0]) # print first char 'h'

print('str[1:3]-', str[1:3]) # print string from postion 1 to 3 'ell' print('str[3:]-',
str[3:]) # print string staring from 3rd char 'llo world'
print('str *2-', str *2 ) # print string two times
print("str +'yes'-", str +'yes') # concatenated string
Output

str - computer science

str[0]- c
str[1:3]- om
str[3:]- puter science
str *2- computer science computer science str
+'yes'- computer
Python scienceyes

 DATA TYPES
Iterating through string

e.g. str='comp sci'

 for i in str:
 print(i)

Output
C o m p s c i

12 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
3. Boolean In Python
It is used to store two possible values either true or false
e.g.
str="comp sci"
boo=str.isupper()
print(boo)

Output
False

13 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
4.List In Python
List are collections of items and each item has
its own index value.
5. Tuple In Python
List and tuple, objects mean you cannot modify
the contents of a tuple once it is assigneboth are
same except ,a list is mutable python objects and
tuple is immutable Python objects. Immutable
Python d.

14 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
e.g. of list

list =[6,9]
list[0]=55 e.g. of tuple
print(list[0]) tup=(66,99)
print(list[1]) Tup[0]=3 # error
message will be
displayed
OUTPUT print(tup[0])
55 print(tup[1])

 DATA TYPES
6. Set In Python
It is an unordered collection of unique
and immutable (which cannot be modified)items.
e.g.
set1={11,22,33,}
print(set1)

Output
{33, 11, 22}

16 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 DATA TYPES
7. Dictionary In Python
It is an unordered collection of items and each item
consist of a key and a value.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'comp sc', 'class': '11'}
print(dict)
print ("Subject : ", dict['Subject'])
print ("class : ", dict.get('class'))

Output
{'Subject': 'comp sc', 'class': '11'}
Subject : comp sc
class : 11

 TYPE CONVERSION
The process of converting the value of one data type (integer, string,
float, etc.) to another data type is called type conversion.
Python has two types of type conversion.
 Implicit Type
Conversion
Explicit Type
Conversion

Implicit Type
Conversion:
In Implicit type conversion, Python automatically converts one data type
to another data type. This process doesn't need any user involvement.

18 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 TYPE CONVERSION
num_int = 12
num_flo = 10.23
num_new = num_int + num_flo print("datatype of
num_int:",type(num_int)) print("datatype of
num_flo:",type(num_flo)) print("Value of
num_new:",num_new)
print("datatype of num_new:",type(num_new))

OUTPUT
('datatype of num_int:', <type 'int'>) ('datatype of
num_flo:', <type 'float'>) ('Value of num_new:', 22.23)
('datatype of num_new:', <type 'float'>)

19 Python by Dr.M.Vanitha
 TYPE CONVERSION
Explicit Type Conversion:

In Explicit Type Conversion, users convert the data type of an object to required
data type. We use the predefined functions like int(),float(),str() etc.
e.g.
num_int = 12
num_str = "45"
print("Data type of num_int:",type(num_int))
print("Data type of num_str before Type Casting:",type(num_str)) num_str =
int(num_str)
print("Data type of num_str after Type Casting:",type(num_str)) num_sum =
num_int + num_str
print("Sum of num_int and num_str:",num_sum)
print("Data type of the sum:",type(num_sum))

OUTPUT
('Data type of num_int:', <type 'int'>)
('Data type of num_str before Type Casting:', <type 'str'>) ('Data type of
num_str after Type Casting:', <type 'int'>) ('Sum of num_int and num_str:',
57)
('Data type of the sum:', <type 'int'>)
