1 Lecture 2: Python Arithmetic CS1068+ Introductory Programming in Python Dr Kieran T. Herley 2018/19 Department of Computer Science University College Cork

2 Basic data types in Python

3 Python data types Programs manipulate data from families called data types; each data type has is own rules and capabilities. int (Integers i.e. Z) e.g. 123, 456 Capabilities: standard arithmetic (+,,, //) and more float (Real numbers R) e.g 3.14, 6.02E23 Capabilities: arithmetic +,,, /; also plethora of maths functions str (Strings i.e. text) e.g To be or not to be. Capabilities: Many text-manipulating functions Many, many others... 1

4 Integers (int)

5 Python integers Examples Standard Arabic notation; optional leading sign Non-examples no internal non-digits lO 12, 345, 678, 901, 234, 567, 890 Notes No limit on number of digits 2

6 Basic arithmetic Code Result Explanation ,, (multiplication) work as expected * * 9 79 BODMAS rules apply (7 + 8) * () override default rules 2 ** to power of 3 Note: spaces around numbers or operators are OK, but not within 3

7 Integer division operator Integer division operators n // d Integer part when n is divided by d e.g. 10 // 5 yields 2, 10 // 3 yields 3, n % d Remainder when n is divided by d e.g. 10 % 5 yields 0, 10 % 3 yields 1 NB // for integer result (not /) Examples Expression Result Expression Result 8 // % // % // % 5 3 4

8 Division and negative integerss Python s // operator rounds towards (not towards zero); it s the largest integer value less than or equal to the precise real result. Code Result Explanation 5 // // // // Note: Python s int division operators obey following identity. (x // y) y + x % y = x 5

9 Programming errors Misusing Python features causes programming errors, causing program to misbehave and often crash. Code Result Explanation 10l0 SyntaxError Violates Python s rules. Program crashes. n // d ZeroDivisionError (If d = 0). Cannot divide by zero! Program crashes. 1, (1, 1) Legally OK, but probably not what you had in mind. 6

10 Operator precedence Precedence Python applies higher precedence operators before lower Op Pre ( ) High, //, % +, Low Association Operators of equal precedence are applied left to right. Code Result Explanation * (3 + 4) 15 First (), then,, then Applied l-to-r 7

11 Real numbers (floats)

12 Python real numbers (floats) Examples Standard decimal or scientific notation; optional sign E e E23 Non-examples no extraneous characters , x10 23 Limits on precision; floats are approximations of the true values 8

13 Inexactitude of Python s reals Code Result Explanation Result off in 17th decimal place! math.pi Only 15 decimal places Not all reals can be represented exactly in computer s memory Most are approximated by closest representable number Real calculations are rarely mathematically exact float R 9

14 Using floats can be tricky Representational and roundoff error issues: Hard to gauge how accurate any result is. Will use floats sparingly in this module. 10

15 Mixing integers and real numbers Code Result Explanation ints converted to float automatically in mixed expressions float(1) 1.0 Explicitly converts int to real int(1.23) 1 Converts real to int: truncates decimal part round(3.4) 3 Rounds off to nearest int round(3.5) 4 ditto int(), float(), round() are built-in functions; note function name(...) syntax 11

16 Real arithmetic and the / operator Code Result Explanation * , -, *, () work as expected 8 / The / operator produces a flo result... 8 / even with integer values 8.5 / Warning Distinguish carefully between / and //. 12

17 Python s mathematical functions Python supports multitude of mathematical functions (logs, exponentials, trigonometrics and so on). Code Result Explanation math.sqrt(7) Need import math at top of program to avail of these features. Look them up as needed. 13
