Identiyfier, Literals and Type Casting

Literals

• A literal is a fixed value that is directly written in the code. It


represents constant values that do not change during program
execution.

• age = 25 # 25 is a numeric literal


• name = "Pawan" # "Pawan" is a string literal
• is_valid = True # True is a boolean literal
Identifier
• An identifier is a name used to identify variables, functions, classes,
modules, or other objects. It helps you refer to objects by name.
• In Python, there is no fixed limit on the length of an identifier.

• my_var = 25 # 'my_var' is an identifier


• def my_function(): # 'my_function' is an identifier
pass

Typecasting in python

• The conversion of one data type into the other


data type is known as type casting in python or
type conversion in python.

• Python supports a wide variety of functions or


methods like: int(), float(), str(), ord(), hex(),
oct(), tuple(), set(), list(), dict(), etc. for
the type casting in python.
Two Types of Typecasting:

• 1. Explicit Conversion (Explicit type casting


in python)

• 2. Implicit Conversion (Implicit type casting


in python).
1-Explicit typecasting:

• The conversion of one data type into another data type,


done via developer or programmer's intervention or
manually as per the requirement, is known as explicit
type conversion

• It can be achieved with the help of Python’s built-in


type conversion functions such as int(), float(),
hex(), oct(), str(), etc .
Example of explicit typecasting

• string = "15"
• number = 7
• string_number = int(string) #throws an error if the
string is not a valid integer
• sum= number + string_number
• print("The Sum of both the numbers is: ", sum)

• ### Output:
```
• The Sum of both the numbers is 22
2-Implicit type casting:

• Data types in Python do not have the same level i.e. ordering of
data types is not the same in Python.
• Some of the data types have higher-order, and some have lower
order.
• While performing any operations on variables with different data
types in Python, one of the variable's data types will be changed
to the higher data type.
• According to the level, one data type is converted into other by
the Python interpreter itself (automatically). This is called,
implicit typecasting in python.
Example of implicit type casting:

# Python automatically converts


# a to int
• a = 7
• print(type(a))

# Python automatically converts b to float


• b = 3.0
• print(type(b))
# Python automatically converts c to float as it is a float
addition
• c = a + b
• print(c)
• print(type(c))
``
• ### Ouput:
```
• <class 'int'>
• <class 'float'>
• 10.0
• <class 'float'>
