 Installation of Python
• Install Python 3.x version
• Python 2.x will not be supported from 2020 Jan.
• Installing Modules command
• Help on Modules

 • Variables
Unlike other languages variables are tags
Everything is an object and hence efficient memory utilization
Identifiers
A to Z , a to z , underscore(_letters or digits)
special chars are not allowed @,$

 Standard Datatypes

Caterpillar: Confidential Green

 Standard Datatypes – Immutable Types
• Numeric types
– int , float,complex
– a=5, b=5.55 , c=10+5j
– A binary number should be written by prefixing 0b (zero and b) or 0B (zero and B) before
the value. For example, 0b110110, 0B101010011 are treated as binary numbers.
– Hexadecimal numbers are written by prefixing 0x (zero and x) or 0X (zero and big X)
before the value, as 0xA180 or 0X11fb91 etc.
– Similarly, octal numbers are indicated by prefixing 0o (zero and small o) or 0O (zero and
then O) before the actual value.
– For example, 0O145 or 0o773 are octal values.
