2-Basic of Python

Python uses indentation rather than braces to indicate blocks of code. Statements typically end with a new line, but the line continuation character allows continuing a line. Blank lines and lines with only whitespace or comments are ignored. Semicolons allow multiple statements per line if no new block is started. Standard data types include numbers, strings, lists, tuples, and dictionaries. Numbers can be integers, floats, or complexes. Strings use quotes, lists use brackets, tuples are like read-only lists, and dictionaries are hash tables. Data type conversion functions allow changing between types.

Basic of Python

Lines & Indentation


• Python does not use braces({}) to indicate
blocks of code for class and function
definitions or flow control. Blocks of code are
denoted by line indentation, which is rigidly
enforced.
Multi-Line Statements
• Statements in Python typically end with a new
line. Python, however, allows the use of the
line continuation character (\) to denote that
the line should continue
Quotation in Python
• Python accepts single ('), double (") and triple
(''' or """) quotes to denote string literals, as
long as the same type of quote starts and
ends the string
Using Blank Lines
• A line containing only whitespace, possibly
with a comment, is known as a blank line and
Python totally ignores it.
Multiple Statements on a Single Line
• The semicolon ( ; ) allows multiple statements
on a single line given that no statement starts
a new code block.
Multiple Statement Groups as Suites
• Groups of individual statements, which make
a single code block are called suites in Python.
Standard Data Types
Python has five standard data types-
• Numbers
• String
• List
• Tuple
• Dictionary
Python Numbers
• Number data types store numeric values.
Number objects are created when you assign
a value to them.
• Python supports three different numerical
types −
• int (signed integers)
• float (floating point real values)
• complex (complex numbers)
Python Strings
• Strings in Python are identified as a
contiguous set of characters represented in
the quotation marks.
Python Lists
• Lists are the most versatile of Python's
compound data types. A list contains items
separated by commas and enclosed within
square brackets ([]).
Python Tuples
• A tuple is another sequence data type that is
similar to the list. Tuples can be thought of as
read-only lists.
Python Dictionary
• Python's dictionaries are kind of hash-table
type.
Data Type Conversion
• Sometimes, you may need to perform
conversions between the built-in types. To
convert between types, you simply use the type-
name as a function.

>>x=“1”
>>> type(x) <class 'str'>
>>> y=int(x)
>>> type(y) <class 'int'>
