2 Variable is reserved a location in memory to store values, based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides what can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data types to variables, you can store integers, decimals, or characters in these variables. Assigning Values to Variables Python variables do not need explicit declaration to reserve memory space. The declaration happens automatically when you assign a value to a variable. Multiple Assignment: Python allows you to assign a single value to several variables simultaneously. For example: Example 1: a = b = c = 1 Here, an integer object is created with the value 1, and all three variables are assigned to the same memory location. print id(a) print id(b) print id(c) You can also assign multiple values to multiple variables. For example: Example 2: a, b, c = 1, 2, "IUG" Identifiers are the names that identify the elements such as classes, methods, and variables in a program, all identifiers must obey the following rules: Identifiers must contain at least one character. The first character must be an alphabetic letter (upper or lower case) or the underscore (_) The remaining characters (if any) may be alphabetic characters (upper or lower case), the underscore, or a digit No other characters (including spaces) are permitted in identifiers. A reserved word (Python Keywords) cannot be used as an identifier. and del from None try as elif global nonlocal True assert else if not while break except import or with class False in pass yield continue finally is raise def for lambda return Python keywords Id (): identity of the location of the object in memory.

3 Standard Data Types: Python has various standard data types that are used to define the operations possible on them and the storage method for each of them. Python has 5 standard data types: Numbers String List Tuple Dictionary *In this lab we will take just about Numbers and String Python Numbers: Number data types store numeric values. Number objects are created when you assign a value to them. For example: Example 3 var1 = 10 var2 = 1.5 var3 = 2.5-1j Python supports four different numerical types: int (signed integers) long (long integers) float (floating point real values) complex (complex numbers) int long float complex L j xDEFABCECBDAECBFBAEl 32.3+e e-7j Python displays long integers with a lowercase l or an uppercase L. A complex number consists of an ordered pair of real floating-point numbers denoted by x + yj, where x is the real part and b is the imaginary part of the complex number.

4 Python Arithmetic Operators: Assume variable a holds 2 and variable b holds 5, then: Operator Example + Addition a + b = 7 - Subtraction a b = -3 * Multiplication a * b = 10 / Division b / a = 2 % Modulus b % a = 1 ** Exponent a**b =32 // Floor Division 9//2 = 4 and 9.0//2.0 = 4.0 but 9/2 = 4 and 9.0/2.0 = 4.5 Python Assignment Operators: Operator Example = Assign c = a + b assigns value of a + b into c += Add AND Assign c += a is equivalent to c = c + a -= Subtract AND Assign c -= a is equivalent to c = c - a *= Multiply AND Assign c *= a is equivalent to c = c * a /= Divide AND Assign c /= a is equivalent to c = c / a %= Modulus AND Assign c %= a is equivalent to c = c % a **= Exponent AND Assign c **= a is equivalent to c = c ** a //= Floor Division Assign c //= a is equivalent to c = c // a

5 Example 4: Example 4: Assignment_Operators.py a=2 b=3 c=0 print "a=",a," b=",b, " c=", c c = a + b print "c = a + b, Value of c is ", c c += a print "c += a c *= a print "c *= a c /= a print "c /= a, Value of c is ", c, Value of c is ", c, Value of c is ", c c = 3 c %= a print "c = 3,c %= a, Value of c is ", c c **= a print "c **= a c //= a print "c //= a, Value of c is ", c, Value of c is ", c Output of Example 4 (Assignment_Operators.py): ) shows: Comments: text contained within comments is ignored by the Python interpreter. The # symbol begins comment in the source code. The comment is in effect until the end of the line of code:

6 Python Strings: Strings in Python are identified as a contiguous set of characters represented in the quotation marks either pairs of single or double quotes. Subsets of strings can be taken using the slice operator ([ ] and [:]) with indexes starting at 0 in the beginning of the string and working their way from -1 at the end So ([-1] represent last index). The plus (+) sign is the string concatenation operator. The asterisk (*) is the repetition operator. For example: Example 5: String_Python.py str = 'Python Lab ' print str # Prints complete string print str[0] # Prints first character of the string print str[2: 5] # Prints characters starting from 3rd to 5th print str[2:] # Prints string starting from 3rd character print str * 2 # Prints string two times print str + "Exam" # Prints concatenated string print "length str ",len(str) Output of Example 5 (String_Python.py): Conversion functions: int() : convert string containing an integer number to an integer float() :convert string containing a floating point number to a floating point number str():convert number to string. a = "34" a = "3.4" print "data type a ",type(a) print "data type a ",type(a) x = int (a) x = float (a) print "data type x ",type(x) print "data type x ",type(x) Output:

7 User Input: The print function enables a Python program to display textual information to the user. Programs may use the input function to obtain information from the user. For example: input function assign entered value to x x = input () Examples: Example 6: usinginput.py x = input ("Please enter your name: ") print "Text entered: ", x print " Type: ", type(x) Output of Example 6 (String_Python.py): Example 7: usinginput.py x = input ("Please enter an integer value: ") y = input("please enter an integer value: ") print x, ' +', y, ' =', x + y Output of Example 7 (usinginput.py):

8 Formatted Output: Use the modulo operator "%" to perform string formatting, by convert various class types (like int, float and so on) into a formatted string. The following example show how the string modulo operator ( %) works: print "Units : %3d Price per unit :%5.2f"%(250,32.056)) Output: String modulo operator The general syntax for a format is: %[flags][width][.precision]type Conversion d, i e, E f s o X, X Meaning Signed integer decimal. Floating point exponential format Floating point decimal format. String (converts any python object using str()). Unsigned octal. Unsigned hexadecimal The following examples show some cases of the conversion rules from the table above:

9 Flag Meaning # Used with o, x or X specifies the value is preceded with 0, 0o, 0O, 0x or 0X respectively. 0 The conversion result will be zero padded for numeric values. - The converted value is left adjusted + A sign character ("+" or "-") will precede the conversion (overrides a "space" flag). Work lab: Write program that converts a Fahrenheit degree to Celsius using the formula Celsius = 5 (fahrenheit 32) 9 Example 8: Convert Fahrenheit into Celsius fahrenheit= input("enter a degree in Fahrenheit:") Celsius=(5.0/9)*(fahrenheit-32) print "Fahrenheit", fahrenheit, " is ", Celsius, " in Celsius" Output of Example 8:

10 Exercises: 1) What happens if you attempt to use a variable within a program, and that variable has not been assigned a value? 2) Classify each of the following as either a legal or illegal Python identifier: a) Salim b) If c) 2x d) -4 e) sum_total f) sumtotal g) sum-total h) sum total i) public j) $16 k) _4 l) m) a27834 n) wilma s 3) Write an application to convert centimeters (input) to feet and inches (output). 1 inch= 2.54 cm 1 foot =30.48 cm 4) Write a Python program that split up a given number of seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds For example: If the user enters seconds, the program prints 2 hr, 46 min, 40 sec.
