    The document defines common Python variable types including integers, floats, strings, and Booleans. It provides examples and demonstrates how to declare variables of each type. Key variable naming conventions are also outlined, such as using lowercase and underscores to separate words. Common math functions like abs(), pow(), and round() are demonstrated. String concatenation and formatting are shown. Overall the document serves as a basic introduction to Python variables and data types.

    Variables

    • A variable is a reserved memory location.


    • A variable in a python program gives data to the computer for processing.

    Basic data types


    • Integers
    • Floats
    • Strings
    • Boolean

    Python Variable Name Convention


    A variable name in Python should fulfil the following
    • Use lowercase
    • Separate words with underscore.
    A variable name in Python can be
    • A single lowercase letter
    • A lowercase word
    • Or lowercase words separated by underscore.
    Examples of variable names
    • x
    • i
    • cars
    • my_cars
    Note that other programming languages can have other naming conventions.

    Declaration of variables
    s = "This is a string"
    a = 2
    b = 2.4

    type(b)

    float

    Integers
    An integer is a number which is not a fraction; a whole number.
    Examples of integers:
    • -23
    • -5
    • 0
    • 1
    • 78
    • 1,980,350
    Examples of non-integers:
    • 3.14
    • 0.001
    • 9,999.999
    a = 2
    b = 3

    type(a), type(b)

    (int, int)

    type(a + b)

    int

    c = a + b
    type(c)

    int

    Float
    A float is a numbers with digits on both sides of a decimal point. This is in contrast to the
    integer data type, which houses an integer or whole number.
    Examples of floats:
    • 3.13
    • 9.99
    • 0.0001
    Note that a float data type in Python can represent a whole number.
    • 1.0
    • 3.0
    a = 1.1
    b = 2.3

    type(a), type(b)

    (float, float)

    type(a + b)
    float

    a + b

    3.4

    i = 1

    type(i)

    int

    type(i + a)

    float

    i + a

    2.1

    Math functions
    • abs() Returns absolute value of a number
    • pow() Raises a number to a power
    • round() Rounds a floating-point value
    abs(-2)

    pow(2, 3)

    2**3

    round(3.14, 1)

    3.1

    f = 1.234456778
    round(f, 4)

    1.2345

    Strings
    A string in Python is a sequence of characters.
    Examples
    • "I am a string!"
    • 'I am another string'
    s1 = 'I am a string'
    s2 = "I am another string"

    s1 + s2

    'I am a stringI am another string'

    a = 1

    s1 + a

    print(f"I am a string with an int here {a + 2} - and more text")

    I am a string with an int here 3 - and more text

    Boolean
    • True or False (case sensitive)
    • Either it rains or not -> Either you take your umbrella or not
    True

    True

    False

    False

    b = True

    True

    b = 10 > 5

    True

    bool(2 > 4)

    False
