Inputs and outputs


• If your input is a number then make the data type
clear

name = input("Enter employee name:


")
age = int(input("Enter their age:
"))
wage = float(input("Hourly wage:
"))

print(name)
print(age)

Data Types and casting


• In Python you only need to know four data types:
String – A piece of text
str() or a mixture of
letters and numbers
Integer – A whole number
int()
Float – A number with
a decimal point
float() known as Real in
some languages
Boolean – True or False

Arithmetic
• The main arithmetic operators are straightforward
num1 = 9
num2 = 3
print(num1 + num2)
12
print(num1 - num2)
6
print(num1 * num2)
27
7 //
print(num1 /
2 # floor division
num2)
3 3.0
7 % 2 # modulo (remainder) 1
Dividing two numbers always gives a float

Arithmetic rules
• BIDMAS/BODMAS rules still apply
num1 = 9
num2 = 3
answer = num1 + num2 * num2
print(answer)
18

answer = (num1 + num2) * num2


print(answer)
36

Arithmetic functions
• There are several useful functions:
pi = 3.1415927
num1 = round(pi)
3
num2 = round(pi, 3)
3.142
# Given that 7 / 2 = 3.5
7 // 2 # floor division
