Week3 Programming Fundamentals Lecture 7

The document covers Python data types, focusing on classes and objects, and how values are stored as objects in memory. It explains the type system in Python, including the use of the type() function to determine an object's type, and discusses valid values for number types. Additionally, it outlines operations on number types and the order of operator evaluation in Python.

WEEK 03 – PYTHON DATA TYPES, CLASSES AND OBJECTS & VALID VALUES FOR NUMBERS

CLASSES AND OBJECTS

 So far seen how to use several types of values that Python supports:
int, float, bool, str, list, and tuple.
 At this point, we step back for a moment to understand more
formally what we mean by a type, and by operators and methods
supported by the type.
 In Python, every value, whether a simple integer value (such as 3)
or a more complex value (such as the string 'Hello, World!' or the list
['hello', 4, 5]) is stored in memory as an object.
 It is useful to think of an object as a container for the value that sits
inside your computer’s memory. 10/22/2018 2

 The container idea captures the motivation behind objects.


TYPE OBJECT
 Every object has associated with it a type and a value. Four objects: an integer
object with value 3, a floating point object with value 3.0, a string object with
value 'Hello World', and a list object with value [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8].

 An object’s type indicates what kind of values the object can hold and what kind
of operations can be performed on the object. The types we have seen so far
include the integer (int), floating point (float), Boolean (bool), string (str), and list
(list) types. 10/22/2018 3
TYPE()

 Python type() function can be used >>>type([1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8])


to determine an object’s type:
<class 'list'>
>>>type(3)  When used on a variable, the type()
<class 'int'> function will return the type of the object
>>>type(3.0) the variable refers to:

<class 'float'> >>> a = 3

>>>type( 'HelloWorld ') >>>type(a)

<class 'str'> <class 'int'>

CONCEPT OF CLASS

 The Python programming language is


said to be object-oriented because
values are always stored in objects.
 In programming languages other than
Python, values of certain types are not
stored in abstract entities such as
objects but explicitly in memory.
 The term class is used to refer to types
whose values are stored in objects.
 Because every value in Python is
stored in an object, every Python type
is a class.

VALID VALUES FOR NUMBER TYPES

 Every object has a value that must be legal for the object’s type.

For example, an integer object can have value 3 but not 3:0 or 'three'.
 The integer values can be arbitrarily large.
For example, we can create an integer object whose value is 21024:
x = 2**1024
print(x)

 Actually, there is a limit to how large the value stored in an integer object can be:
 The value is limited by the available computer memory.

PYTHON FLOATING POINT - FLOAT TYPE

 The Python floating point (float) type is used to represent real numbers as fractions with
finite decimal representations:

pi = 3.141592653589793
2.0**30
1073741824.0

from math import pi


print(pi)
3.141592653589793

NUMBER TYPE OPERATIONS

Operation Description Type (if x and y are


integers)
x+y Sum Integer
x-y Difference Integer
x*y Product Integer
x/y Division Float
x//y Integer division Integer
x%y Reminder of x//y Integer
-x Negative x Integer
abs(x) Absolute value of x Integer
x**y x to power y integer

ORDER IN WHICH OPERATORS ARE EVALUATED

 The order in which operators are evaluated is defined either explicitly using parentheses or
implicitly using either the operator precedence rules or the left-to-right evaluation rule if
the operators have the same precedence.
 The operator precedence rules in Python follow

PRACTICE PROBLEM 2.8

 Evaluate the results of logical operations by explicitly and by implicitly.


 Evaluate the results of operator orders by explicitly and by implicitly.
 In what order are the operators in the following expressions evaluated?
(a) 2 + 3 == 4 or a >= 5
(b) lst[1] * -3 < -10 == 0
(c) (lst[1] * -3 < -10) in [0, True]
(d) 2 * 3**2
(e) 4 / 2 in [1, 2, 3]
