PYTHON PROGRAMMING WITH

WEB FRAMEWORKS – CSE304


This presentation contains the concepts
related to work with data types and
variables, numeric data, string data
Data Types
• When you develop a Python program, you work with
variables that store data.
• A data type defines the type of data for a value.
• 3 types of basic Python data types:

Data Types
• How to code literal values (there are two literals)
– String literal (enclose the characters of the string in
single or double quotation marks).
– Numeric literal (code the number without quotation
marks).
• You can assign a value of any data type to a variable.
• An assignment statement uses the equals sign (=) to
assign a value to a variable.
• The value can be a literal value, another variable, or
an expression like the arithmetic expressions.

5
Variables
• A Python variable is a symbolic name that is a
reference or pointer to an object.
• Once an object is assigned to a variable, you can refer
to the object by that name anywhere inside the
program.
• How to name variables ?
– Give meaningful names. That means that it should be
easy to tell and easy to remember.
– Avoid abbreviations.
– Use underscore notation. (example: tax_rate)
– You may use camel case. (example: taxRate)
6
Rules for naming variables
• A variable name must begin with a letter or
underscore.
• A variable name can't contain spaces, punctuation, or
special characters other than the underscore.
• A variable name can't begin with a number, but can
use numbers later in the name.
• A variable name can't be the same as a keyword
that's reserved by Python.

Python's arithmetic operators

10
How to work with numeric data
• The order of precedence for arithmetic expressions:

• Examples that show the order of precedence and use


of parentheses

11
How to work with numeric data
• An arithmetic expression consists of one or more
operands that are operated upon by arithmetic
operators.
• No need of spaces before and after the arithmetic
operators.
• When an expression mixes integer and floating-point
numbers, Python converts the integers to floating-
point numbers.
• Use parentheses to clarify the sequence of
operations (when multiple operators are used).
Otherwise, Python applies its order of precedence.
12
How to work with numeric data
• Compound assignment operators provide a shorthand
way to code common assignment statements.

• Besides the compound operators in the table. Python


offers /=. //=. %=, and **=.
• When working with floating-point numbers, be aware
that they are approximations, not exact values. This can
cause inaccurate results.
13
Other Operators
• Comparison Operators:
!=, ==, <, <=, >, >=
• Unary Operators:
Unary plus (+)
Unary minus (-)
• Bitwise Operators
&(AND), |(OR), ^(XOR), ~(One's Compliment),
<< (Left Shift), >>(Right Shift)

14
Other Operators
• Logical Operators:
and, or, not
• Assignment Operators:
=, +=, -+, *=, /=, //=,...
• Membership Operators:
in, not in
• Identity Operators:
is , is not

15
Operator Precedence
• Parenthesis – ()
• Exponentiation – **
• Compliment, unary plus and minus – ~, +, -
• Multiply, Divide, modulo – *, /, %
• Addition and Subtraction – +, -
• Right and Left Shift – >>, <<
• Bitwise AND – &
• Bitwise OR and XOR – |, ^
• Comparison Operators – ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
• Assignment Operator- =

How to use the interactive shell for testing
numeric operations
• Demo

17
How to work with string data
• You can also create an empty string by coding a set of
quotation marks with nothing between them.
• And you can assign a new value to a string variable.
This works the same way it does with numeric
variables.

19
Common escape sequences
• you can use escape sequences to include certain types
of special characters such as new lines and tabs.
• You can also use escape characters to include special
characters such as quotation marks and backslashes.
