LEARNING OUTCOMES :
DATA TYPES
Data type in Python specifies the type of data we are going to store in any variable, the amount of memory it will take and type of operation we can perform on a variable. Data can be of many types e.g. character, integer, real, string etc.
Python supports following data types:
NUMBERS
From the name it is very clear the Number data types are used to store numeric values. Numbers in Python can be of following types:
(ii)
(iii)
Floating point numbers Complex Numbers
INTEGERS
Integers allows to store whole numbers only and there is no fraction parts.
Integers can be positive and negative e.g. 100, 250, -12, +50
There are two integers in Python:
INTEGERS
>>>bool(1) True
>>>int(False) 0
>>>str(False)
„False‟
# str() function is used to convert argument to string type.
FLOATING POINT NUMBERS
It allows to store numbers with decimal points. For e.g. 2.14. The decimal point indicate that it is not an integer but a float value. 100 is an integer but 100.5 is a float value. In Previous chapter we have already discussed float values can be of type type:
1. Fractional Form : 200.50, 0.78, -12.787
2. Exponent Form : it is represented with mantissa and exponent. For e.g
# means 1.5 x 102 which is 150
# 150.0
>>>x = 1.5E2
>>>print(x)
>>>y=12.78654E04
>>>print(y)
# 127865.4
FLOATING POINT NUMBERS
Floating point number are mainly used for storing values like distance, area, temperature etc. which have a fractional part.
Floating point numbers have two advantage over integers:
But floating point numbers suffers from one disadvantage also:
In Python floating point numbers represent machine level double precision floating point numbers i.e. 15 digit precision.
COMPLEX NUMBERS
Python represent complex numbers in the form A+Bj. To represent imaginary
−1. Both real
numbers, Python uses j or J in place of i. So in Python j = and imaginary parts are of type float
e.g.
a = 0 + 6j
b = 2.5 + 3J
>>>a=4+5j
>>>print(a)
>>>b=0+2j
>>>b
# (4+5j)
#(2j)
COMPLEX NUMBERS
Python allows to retrieve real and imaginary part of complex number using attributes: real and imag
If the complex number is a then we can write a.real or a.imag
Example
>>>a=1+3.54j
>>>print(a.real)
>>>print(a.imag)
# 1.0
# 3.54
STRING
In previous chapter we have already discussed about string. Let us recall the things:
“hello”, „welcome‟, “sales2018”, “python@kvoef.com”
STRING
In Python string is a sequence of characters and each character can be individually access using index. From beginning the first character in String is at index 0 and last will be at len-1. From backward direction last character will be at index -1 and first character will be at –len.
0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
W | E | L | C | O | M | E |
-7 | -6 | -5 | -4 | -3 | -2 | -1 |
Forward indexing
message
Backward indexing
STRING
To access individual character of String (Slicing). we can use the syntax:
StringName[index position]
>>>stream=“Science”
>>>print(stream[0]) S
>>>print(stream[3]) e
>>>print(stream[-1]) e
STRING
What will be the output:
>>>stream=“Science”
>>>print(stream[5])
>>>print(stream[-4])
>>>print(stream[-len(stream)])
>>>print(stream[8])
#Output 1
#Output 2
#Output 3
#Output 4
STRING
We cannot change the individual letters of string by assignment because string in python is immutable and hence if we try to do this, Python will raise an error “object does not support Item assignment”
>>>name=“Ronaldo”
>>>name[1]=“I” # error
However we can assign string to another string. For e.g
>>>name=“Ronaldo”
>>>name=“Bekham” # no error
LISTS AND TUPLES
Lists and Tuples are compound data types i.e. they allows to store multiple values under one name of different data types.
The main difference between Lists and Tuples is List can be changed/modified i.e. mutable type whereas Tuples cannot be changes or modified i.e. immutable type.
Let us take this with example:
Lists: A list in python represents a list of comma-separated values of any data type between square brackets.
[10,20,30,40,50] [„a‟,‟e‟,‟o‟,‟i‟,‟u”] [“KV”,208004,97.5]
EXAMPLES - LIST
>>> family=["Mom","Dad","Sis","Bro"]
>>> family
['Mom', 'Dad', 'Sis', 'Bro']
>>> print(family)
['Mom', 'Dad', 'Sis', 'Bro']
>>> Employee=["E001","Naman",50000,10.5]
>>> Employee
['E001', 'Naman', 50000, 10.5]
>>> print(Employee)
['E001', 'Naman', 50000, 10.5]
EXAMPLES - LIST
The values stored in List are internally numbered from 0 onwards. i.e. first element will be at position 0 and second will be at 1 and so on.
>>> Employee=["E001","Naman",50000,10.5]
>>> print(Employee[1])
Naman
>>> Employee[2]=75000
>>> print(Employee)
['E001', 'Naman', 75000, 10.5]
You can check the number of items in list using len() function
>>> print(len(Employee))
4
TUPLES
Tuples as those list which cannot be changed i.e. not modifiable. Tuples are defined inside parenthesis and values separated by comma
Example:
>>> favorites=("Blue","Cricket","Gajar Ka Halwa")
>>> student=(1,"Aman",97.5)
>>> print(favorites)
('Blue', 'Cricket', 'Gajar Ka Halwa')
>>> print(student) (1, 'Aman', 97.5)
TUPLES
Like List, Tuples values are also internally numbered from 0 and so on.
>>> print(favorites[1]) Cricket
>>> print(student[2]) 97.5
>>> student[2]=99
>>> student[2]=99 # Error, tuple does not support assignment i.e. immutable
DICTIONARY
Dictionary is another feature of Python. It is an unordered set of comma separated
key:value pairs. Dictionary Items are defined in Curly Brackets { }
Keys defined in Dictionary cannot be same i.e. no two keys can be same.
>>> student={'Roll':1,'Name':"Jagga",'Per':91.5}
>>>print(student)
>>> print(student['Per'])
91.5
>>> val={1:100,2:300,4:900}
>>> print(val[1])
100
# Key name can be string / numeric
Dictionary is mutable. i.e. We can modify dictionary elements.
>>>val[2]=1000
>>>print(val) # {1: 100, 2: 1000, 4: 900}

MUTABLE AND IMMUTABLE TYPES
Python data object can be broadly categorized into two types – mutable and immutable types. In simple words changeable/modifiable and non-modifiable types.
1. Immutable types: are those that can never change their value in place. In python following types are immutable: integers, float, Boolean, strings, tuples
Sample Code:
a = 10
b = a
c = 15
a = 20
b = 40
c = b
# will give output 10,10,30
From this code, you can say the value of integer a, b,c could be changed effortlessly, but this is not the case. Let us understand what was done behind the scene
IMMUTABLE TYPES
Note: In python each value in memory is assigned a memory address. So each time a new variable is pointing to that value they will be assigned the same address and no new memory allocation. Let us understand the case.

>>> a=10
>>> b=a
>>> c=15
>>> print(id(a)) 1757402304
>>> print(id(b)) 1757402304
>>> print(id(c))
1757402384
Python provides id() function to get the
memory address to which value /variable is
referring V I N O D K U M A R V E R M A , P G T ( C S )>, >K V>OpErFinKtA(NidP(U1R0&))

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

a = 20
b = 40
c = b
a
b
c
>>> a=20
>>> b=40
>>> c=b
>>> print(id(a)) 280
Python provides id() function to get the memory address to which value /variable is
referring
&
IMMUTABLE TYPES
From the previous code it is clear that variable names are stored references to a value-object. Each time we change the value the variable‟s reference memory address changes. So it will not store new value in same memory location that‟s why Integer, float, Booleans, strings and tuples are immutable.
Variables (of certain type) are NOT LIKE storage containers i.e. with fixed memory address where value changes every time. Hence they are immutable
MUTABLE TYPE
Mutable means in same memory address, new value can be stored as and when it is required. Python provides following mutable types:
Examples: (using List)
>>> employee=["E001","Rama","Sales",67000]
>>> print(id(employee))
71593896
>>> employee[3]=75000
>>> print(id(employee))
71593896
>>>
See, even if we change the value, its reference memory address has remained same
VARIABLE INTERNALS
Python is an object oriented language. So every thing in python is an object. An object is any identifiable entity that have some characteristics/properties and behavior. Like integer values are object – they hold whole numbers only(characteristics) and they support all arithmetic operations (behavior).
Every python object has three key attributes associated with it:
TYPE OF AN OBJECT
type of an object determines the operations that can be performed on the object.
Built – in function type() returns the type of an object
Example:
>>> a=100
>>> type(a)
<class 'int'>
>>> type(100)
<class 'int'>
>>> name="Jaques"
>>> type(name)
<class 'str'>
VALUE OF AN OBJECT
The data items stored in the object is a value of object. The value stored in an object is a literals. We can using print() to get the value of an object
Example:
>>> a=100
>>> print(a)
100
>>> name="Kallis"
>>> print(name)
Kallis
>>>
ID OF AN OBJECT
It is the memory address of any object. Although id is dependent upon the system where it is installed but in most cases it returns the memory location of the object. Built in function id() returns the id of an object
Example:
>>> a=5
>>> id(5)
1911018608
>>> print(id(a))
1911018608
>>>
OPERATORS
are symbol that perform specific operation when applied on variables. Take a
look at the expression:
(Operator)
10 + 25 (Operands)
Above statement is an expression (combination of operator and operands)
i.e. operator operates on operand. some operator requires two
operand and some requires only one operand to operate
TYPES OF OPERATORS - ARITHMETIC
Binary Operators: are those operators that require two operand to operate upon.
Following are some Binary operators:
Operator | Action |
+ | Addition |
- | Subtraction |
* | Multiplication |
/ | Division |
% | Remainder |
** | Exponent |
// | Floor division |
TYPES OF OPERATORS - ARITHMETIC
Unary Operators They require only one operand to operate like unary + and – For e.g.
>>> a=5
>>> print(+a)
5
>>> print(-a)
-5
>>>
EXAMPLE – BINARY ARITHMETIC OPERATOR
>>> num1=20
>>> num2=7
>>> val = num1 % num2
>>> print(val) 6
>>> val = 2**4
>>> print(val) 16
EXAMPLE – BINARY ARITHMETIC OPERATOR
>>> val = num1 / num2
>>> print(val) 2.857142857142857
>>> val = num1 // num2
>>> print(val) 2

MODULUS= A – [ Floor(A/B) * B]
Floor(3.2)= 3 value lies between (3,4) select min no , so it is 3
Floor(-3.2)= -4 value lies between (-4 and -3) select min no, so it is -4
Floor(-3.5)= -4
= -11 – [floor(-11/5] *5]
= -11 - [-3*5]
= -11 + 15
= 4
TYPES OF OPERATORS –AUGMENTED ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS
It perform operation with LHS and RHS and result will be assigned to LSH
Operator | Action | Example |
+= | RHS added to LHS and result assigned to LHS | x+=5 means x=x+5 |
-= | RHS minus to LHS and result assigned to LHS | x-=5 means x=x-5 |
*= | RHS multiply to LHS and result assigned to LHS | x*=5 means x=x*5 |
/= | LHS divided by RHS and result assigned to LHS(FLOAT) | x/=5 means x=x/5 |
%= | LHS divided by RHS and remainder assigned to LHS | x%=5 means x=x%5 |
**= | RHS power to LHS and result assigned to LHS | x**=5 means x=x**5 |
//= | LHS divided by RHS and result assigned to LHS (INT) | x//=5 means x=x//5 |
TYPES OF OPERATORS –RELATIONAL OPERATOR
Are used to compare two values and return the result as True or False depending upon the result of comparison
Operator | Action | Example |
< | Less than | 50<45 returns False, 40<60 returns True |
> | Greater than | 50>45 returns True, 40>60 returns False |
<= | Less than or equal to | 50<=50 returns True, 80<=70 returns False |
>= | Greater than or equal to | 40>=40 returns True, 40>=90 returns False |
== | Equal to | 80==80 returns True, 60==80 returns False |
!= | Not equal to | 45!=90 returns True, 80!=80 returns False |
FEW POINTS TO REMEMBER - COMPARISONS
COMPARISON WITH FLOATING VALUES
>>> 0.1 + 0.1+ 0.1 == 0.3
Will return False
How?
Let us check the value of 0.1+0.1+0.1
>>>print(0.1+0.1+0.1)
Output :- 0.30000000000000004
That‟s why 0.1 + 0.1+ 0.1 == 0.3 is False
Reason: In python floating numbers are approximately presented in memory in binary form up to the allowed precision 15 digit. This approximation may yield unexpected result if you are comparing floating value using equality
RELATIONAL OPERATOR WITH ARITHMETIC OPERATORS
Relational operator have lower priority than arithmetic operators, So if any arithmetic operator is involved with relational operator then first arithmetic operation will be solved then comparison .
For example
>>>a,b,c = 10,20,30
>>>a+10 > b-10
Result : True
Here Comparison will be 20>10
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
If the value of a is 100 , What is the difference between the below 2 statements
Statement 1 :
Statement 2 :
>>> a == 60
>>> a = 60
IDENTITY OPERATOR
These operators are used to check if both object are pointing to same memory address or not.
Operator | Usage | Description |
is | a is b | Return True, if both operands are pointing to same memory location, otherwise False |
is not | a is not b | Return True, if both operands are not pointing to same memory location, otherwise False |
EXAMPLE OF IDENTITY OPERATORS
>>> a = 10
>>> b = 10
>>> c = 20
>>> a is b
>>> a is c
>>> a is not c
>>> c -=10
>>> a is c
# True # False # True
# True
EQUALITY(==) VS IDENTITY(IS)
When we compare two variables pointing to same value, then both Equality (==) and identity (is) will return True.
>>> a ,b = 10, 10
>>>a==b
>>>a is b
# True
# True
But in few cases, when two variables are pointing to same value == will return True and is will return False
EXAMPLE
>>> s1="kvoef"
>>>s2=input("Enter any String‟)
Enter any String: kvoef
# True # False
>>> s1==s2
>>> s1 is s2
>>>s3 = "kvoef‟
>>>s1 is s3
# True
FEW CASES-PYTHON CREATES TWO DIFFERENT OBJECT THAT STORE THE SAME VALUE
LOGICAL VALUE – ASSOCIATION WITH OTHER TYPE
In python every value is associated with Boolean value True or False. Let us See which values are True and False
False values | True values |
None | All other values are considered as true |
False | |
Zero (0) | |
Empty Sequence “ “, [], (), {} |
LOGICAL OPERATORS
Python supports 3 logical operators : and , or, not
or operator : it combines 2 expressions, which make its operand. The or
operator works in 2 ways:
RELATIONAL EXPRESSION AS OPERANDS
When relational expression is used as operand then or operator return True if any expression is True. If both are False then only or operator will return False.
>>> (5>6) or (6>5)
>>> (4==4) or (7==9)
>>> (6!=6) or (7>100)
# True # True # False
NUMBERS/STRINGS AS OPERANDS
When numbers/strings are used as operand then output will be based on the internal Boolean value of number/string. The result will not be the True or False but the value used with or. However internal value of result will be True or False.
>>> (0) or (0)
>>> (0) or (10)
>>> (4) or (0.0)
>>> “ kv “ or “ “
>>> (9) or (7)
>>> "abc‟ or “ x y z ”
and operators: it combines 2 expressions, which make its operand. The and operator works in 2 ways:
RELATIONAL EXPRESSION AS OPERANDS
When relational expression is used as operand then and operator return True if both expressions are True. If any expression is False then and operator will return False.
>>> (8>6) and (6>5)
>>> (4==4) and (7==9)
>>> (7!=6) and (10+10>18)
# True # False # True
NUMBERS/STRINGS AS OPERANDS
When numbers/strings are used as operand then output will be based on the internal Boolean value of number/string. The result will not be the True or False, but the value used with and. However internal value of result will be True or False.
>>> (0) and (0)
>>> (0) and (10)
>>> (4) and (0.0)
>>> "kv" and “ “
>>> (9) and (7)
>>> "abc‟ and “ “
CHAINED COMPARISON
Python can chain multiple comparisons which are like shortened version of larger Boolean expressions. In python rather than writing 10<20 and 20<30, you can even write 10<20<30, which is chained version of 10<20 and 20<30.
Suppose you want to check age is greater than or equal to 13 and less than or
equal to 19 then you can write using chain of condition like:
13<=age<=19
Suppose you want to check A is greater than B and C, you can write using chain of
condition like:
B<=A>=C
BITWISE OPERATORS
Python provides another category of operators – Bitwise operators. Similar to logical operators except it works on binary representation of actual data not on its decimal value.
Operators | Operations | Use | Description |
& | Bitwise and | Op1 & Op2 | It compares two bits and generate a result of 1 if both bits are 1; otherwise it return 0 |
| | Bitwise or | Op1 | Op2 | It compares two bits and generate a result of 1 if any bits are 1; otherwise it return 0 |
^ | Bitwise xor | Op1 ^ Op2 | It compares two bits and generate a result of 1 if either bit is 1; otherwise if both Operand are 1 or 0 it will return False |
~ | Bitwise compliment | ~Op1 | The Compliment operator is used to invert all of the bits of the operand |
EXAMPLES - &
>>> a = 10
>>> b = 12
>>> bin(a)
>>> bin(b)
>>> a & b
>>> bin(a & b)
# 0b1010 #0b1100 # 8
# 0b1000
EXAMPLES - |
>>> a = 10
>>> b = 12
>>> bin(a)
>>> bin(b)
>>> a | b
>>> bin(a | b)
# 0b1010 #0b1100 # 14
# 0b1110
EXAMPLES - ^
>>> a = 10
>>> b = 12
>>> bin(a)
>>> bin(b)
>>> a ^ b
>>> bin(a & b)
# 0b1010 #0b1100 # 6
# 0b0110
EXAMPLES - ~
>>> a = 10
>>> b = 12

ASSOCIATIVITY OF OPERATORS
It is the order in which an expression having multiple operators of same precedence is evaluated. Almost all operators have left-to-right associativity except exponential operator which has right-to-left associativity.
For example if an expression contains multiplication, division and modulus then
they will be evaluated from left to right. Take a look on example:
>>> 8 * 9 /11 //2
>>> (((8*9) / 11) // 2)
>>> 8 * ((9/11)//2)
>>> 8 * (40/ (11//2))

EXPRESSION
We have already discussed on expression that is a combination of operators, literals and variables (operand).
The expression in Python can be of any type:
ARITHMETIC EXPRESSION

EVALUATING EXPRESSION - ARITHMETIC
IMPLICIT CONVERSION (COERCION)
An implicit conversion is a conversion performed by the interpreter without programmer‟s intervention. It is applied generally whenever differing types are intermixed in an expression, so as not to lose information.
The rule is very simple, Python convert all operands up to the type of the largest operand(type promotion)
IMPLICIT CONVERSION (COERCION)
If both arguments are standard numeric types, the following coercions are
applied:
EXAMPLE – OUTPUT?
n1=10 n2=5 n4=10.0 n5=41.0
A=(n1+n2)/n4 B=n5/n4 * n1/2 print(A) print(B)
EXAMPLE – OUTPUT?
n1=10 n2=5 n4=10.0 n5=41.0
A=(n1+n2)/n4 B=n5/n4 * n1/2 print(A) print(B)
1.5
EXAMPLE – OUTPUT?
n1=10 n2=5 n4=10.0 n5=41.0
A=(n1+n2)/n4 B=n5/n4 * n1/2 print(A) print(B)

20.5
FIND THE OUTPUT?
a) a,b = 10,5
c = b / a
b) a,b = 10,5 c = b // a
c) a,b = 10,5 c = b % a
EVALUATING EXPRESSION - RELATIONAL
OUTPUT?
If inputs are
(i) a,b,c = 20,42,42
print(a<b) print(b<=c)
print(a>b<=c)
(ii) a,b,c = 42, 20,20
EVALUATING EXPRESSION - LOGICAL
OUTPUT?
(10<20) and (20<10) or (5<7) and not 7<10 and 6<7<8
TYPE CASTING
We have learnt in earlier section that in an expression with mixed types, Python internally changes the type of some operands so that all operands have same data type. This type of conversion is automatic i.e. implicit conversion without programmer‟s intervention
An explicit type conversion is user-defined conversion that forces an expression to be of specific type. This type of explicit conversion is also known as Type Casting.
Remember, in case of input() with numeric type, whatever input is given to input() is of string type and to use it as a number we have to convert it to integer using int() function. It is an explicit conversion or Type Casting.
Syntax: - datatype(expression)
TYPE CASTING - EXAMPLES
>>> num1 = int(input(“Enter any number “))
d = float(a) # if a is of int type then it will be converted to float

MATH MODULE OF PYTHON
Other than build-in function, Python provides many more function through modules in standard library. Python provides math library that works with all numeric types except for complex numbers
To use standard math library we have to import the library in our python program using import statement
import math
math library contains many functions to perform mathematical operations like finding square root of number, log of number, trigonometric functions etc.
SOME MATHEMATICAL FUNCTION
S.No | Function | Prototype | Description | Example |
1 | ceil() | math.ceil(num) | It returns the number rounded to next integer | math.ceil(2.3) Ans- 3 |
2 | floor() | math.floor(num) | It returns the number rounded to previous integer | math.floor(2.3) Ans- 2 |
3 | fabs() | math.fabs(num) | Returns the absolute value i.e. number without sign | math.fabs(-4) Ans – 4 |
4 | pow() | math.pow(b,e) | Return the value of (b)e | math.pow(2.3) Ans- 8 |
5 | sqrt() | math.sqrt(num) | It returns the square root of number | math.sqrt(144) Ans- 12 |
6 | sin() | math.sin(num) | Returns the sin value of number | math.sin(math. radian(90)) Ans- 1.0 |
7 | exp() | math.exp(num) | Returns natural logarithm e raised to the num | math.exp(2) Ans- 7.3890.. |
SOME MATHEMATICAL FUNCTION
The math module of Python also contains two useful constant pi and e
math.pi
math.e
gives you the value of constant π = 3.141592…
gives you the value of constant e = 2.718281
So, while writing any formula which uses the constant pi you can use math.pi, like
area = math.pi * radius * radius

What are data types? What are python built-in datatypes Which data type of python handles Numbers?
Why Boolean considered a subtype of integer? Identify the data types of the values:
5, 5j, 10.6, „100‟, “100”, 2+4j, [10,20,30], (“a”,”b”,”c”), {1:100,2:200}
