ZG536 L3 Python Programming 010225

This document provides an overview of Python programming, highlighting its characteristics as a high-level, interpreted language created by Guido Van Rossum in 1989. It covers fundamental concepts such as variables, data types, and examples of each type, including strings, integers, lists, and dictionaries. Additionally, it includes a link for further practice and exercises on Python.

Python

• Python is a general purpose, high-level

interpreted programming language

with easy syntax and dynamic semantics

• Open source and community driven

• Created by Guido Van Rossum in 1989

Variables

• Variable: temporary storage space for data


• Variable name can start with a letter or underscore but not with a number
• 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 (and, as, for, with, continue, True,
or , not). Check https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_ref_keywords.asp
• myvar = "John"
my_var = "John"
_my_var = "John"
myVar = "John"
MYVAR = "John"
myvar2 = "John"

Data types
x = "Hello World" str
x = 20 int
x = 20.5 float
x = 1j complex
x = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] list
x = ("apple", "banana", "cherry") tuple
x = range(6) range
x = {"name" : "John", "age" : 36} dict
x = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"} set
x = frozenset({"apple", "banana", frozenset
"cherry"})
x = True bool
x = b"Hello" bytes
x = bytearray(5) bytearray
x = memoryview(bytes(5)) memoryview
x = None NoneType

Setting Data type
x = str("Hello World") str
x = int(20) int
x = float(20.5) float
x = complex(1j) complex
x = list(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) list
x = tuple(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) tuple
x = range(6) range
x = dict(name="John", age=36) dict
x = set(("apple", "banana", "cherry")) set
x = frozenset(("apple", "banana", frozenset
"cherry"))
x = bool(5) bool
x = bytes(5) bytes
