Python

Data types in programming define the kind of values a variable can hold and the operations that can be performed on them. In Python, common data types include Numeric (int, float, complex), Boolean (True/False), String (text), List (ordered and mutable), Tuple (ordered and immutable), Dictionary (key-value pairs), and Set (unordered and unchangeable). Each data type has specific characteristics and methods for manipulation.

What are Data types

 Data types define the type of value a variable can hold in a programming
language.

 They determine the operations that can be performed on the data.

 In python , type() function is used to check the data type of a variable or value.
1. Numeric
 It represent the data that has a numeric value.
 A numeric value can be an integer, a floating number or a complex number.
 Integers (int): Whole numbers, positive or negative, without decimals, of unlimited length
 Float (float): Floating point numbers
 Complex Numbers (complex): Numbers with real and imaginary parts

x = 1 # int
y = 2.8 # float
z = 3+4 j # complex

Print(type(x) <class ‘int’>

print(type(y)) <class ‘float’>

print(type(z)) <class ‘complex’>


2. Boolean
 Boolean has only two values that is "True" or "False"
 Boolean data type is represented as "bool"

a=True
type(a)
<class ‘bool’>
3. String
 Collection of one or more characters put in a single quote, double quote or triple quote
 String data type is represented as 'str'
a = "Hello"
b = ‘Hello’
c = """Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."""

 Square brackets can be used to access elements of the string

a = "Hello, World!"
print(a[0])
capitalize() Converts the first character to upper
case
casefold() Converts string into lower case

count() Returns the number of times a specified


value occurs in a string
endswith() Returns true if the string ends with the
specified value
isalnum() Returns True if all characters in the
string are alphanumeric
isalpha() Returns True if all characters in the
string are in the alphabet

isdigit() Returns True if all characters in the


string are digits

islower() Returns True if all characters in the


string are lower case

isnumeric() Returns True if all characters in the


string are numeric
4. List
 It can hold collection of items. Defined by enclosing a comma-
seperated sequence of elements within square brackets.
 They are ordered, index based, mutable and allow duplicate values
 thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
 print(thislist[1])
 print(thislist[-1])
 To change the value of a specific item, refer to the index number:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist[1] = "blackcurrant"
print(thislist)
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "orange", "kiwi", "mango"]
thislist[1:3] = ["blackcurrant", "watermelon"]
print(thislist)
 To add an item to the end of the list, use the append() method:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist.append("orange")
print(thislist)
 They are ordered, index based, mutable and allow duplicate values
 thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
 print(thislist[1])
 print(thislist[-1])
 To change the value of a specific item, refer to the index number:
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
thislist[1] = "blackcurrant"
print(thislist)
thislist = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "orange", "kiwi", "mango"]
thislist[1:3] = ["blackcurrant", "watermelon"]
print(thislist)
5. Tuple
 It can hold collection of items. Defined by enclosing a comma-
seperated sequence of elements within round brackets.
 Tuple items are ordered, unchangeable, and allow duplicate values.
 thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
print(thistuple)
 One item tuple, remember the comma:
thistuple = ("apple",)
print(type(thistuple))

#NOT a tuple
thistuple = ("apple")
print(type(thistuple))
 To change tuple values
x = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
y = list(x)
y[1] = "kiwi"
x = tuple(y)
print(x)
 To add items:
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
y = list(thistuple)
y.append("orange")
thistuple = tuple(y)
Or
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
y = ("orange",)
thistuple += y

print(thistuple)
 To join two or more tuples you can use the + operator:
tuple1 = ("a", "b" , "c")
tuple2 = (1, 2, 3)
tuple3 = tuple1 + tuple2
print(tuple3)
 To multiply the content of a tuple a given number of times, you can use the * operator:
fruits = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
mytuple = fruits * 2
print(mytuple)

count() Returns the number of times a


specified value occurs in a tuple

index() Searches the tuple for a specified


value and returns the position of
where it was found
6. Dictionary
 Dictionaries are used to store data values in key:value pairs.
 A dictionary is a collection which is ordered, changeable and do not allow
duplicates.
 Dictionaries are written with curly brackets
 Use the dict() constructor to make a dictionary
thisdict = dict(name = "John", age = 36, country = "Norway")
print(thisdict)

 thisdict = {
"name": "maya",
"age": "20",
"id": 1964
}
print(thisdict["age"])
7. Set
 Sets are used to store multiple items in a single variable.
 A set is a collection which is unordered, unchangeable, unindexed and do not allow
duplicate values.
 Sets are written with curly brackets.
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print(thisset)

 Cannot access items in a set by referring to an index or a key.But can loop through the
set items using a for loop.
thisset = {“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”}
for x in thisset:
print(x)
 add() – Adds an element to the set
 myset ={“a”, “b”, “c”}
 myset.add(“d”)
print(myset)
 clear() – Removes all the elements from the set
 copy() – Returns a copy of the set
 Union() - | - Return a set containing the union of sets
 people = {“Jay”, “Idrish”, “Archil”}
vampires = {“Karan”, “Arjun”}
population = people.union(vampires)
OR
population = people|vampires
 Intersection() - & - Returns a set, that is the intersection of two other
sets
 difference() - - - Returns a set containing the difference between
two or more sets
 remove() – Removes the specified element
