    Chapter 2: Variables and Data types

    A variable is the name given to a memory location


    in a program. For example:
     A = 30
     b = "Harry"
     c = 71.22
    Data Types
    Primarily, there are the following data types in
    Python:
     Integers
     Floating point numbers
     Strings
     Booleans
     None
    Python is a fantastic language that automatically
    identifies the type of data for us:
    a = 71 ⇒ Identifies a as class <int>
    b = 88.44 ⇒ Identifies b as class <float>

    name = "Harry" ⇒ Identifies name as


    class <str>
    Rules for defining a Variable name:
     A variable name can contain alphabets, digits,
    and underscores.
     A variable name can only start with an
    alphabet and underscore.
     A variable name can't start with a digit.
     No white space is allowed to be used inside a
    variable name.
    Examples of a few variable names are:
    harry, one8, seven, Seven, etc.
    Operators in Python
    Following are some common operators in Python:

    1.Arithmetic operators ⇒ +, -, *, /, etc.


    2.Assignment operators ⇒ =, +=, -=, etc.

    3.Comparison operators ⇒ ==, >, <, >=, <=, !


    =, etc.
    4.Logical operators ⇒ and, or, not

    type() function and Typecasting


    The type function is used to find the data type of a
    given variable in Python.
    type(a) ⇒ class <int>
    a = 31

    type(b) ⇒ class <str>


    b = "31"

    A number can be converted into a string and vice


    versa (if possible).
    There are many functions to convert one data type
    into another:
    str(31) ⇒ "31" ⇒ Integer to string conversion
    int("32") ⇒ 32 ⇒ String to integer conversion
    float(32) ⇒ 32.0 ⇒ Integer to float conversion
    ... and so on

    input() function
    input() function in programming. It describes how
    this function allows users to take input from the
    keyboard as a string.
    Key points include:
    1.The syntax: a = input("Enter name").
     If the user enters "harry", then a will be

    "harry".
     If the user enters "34", will still be a string
    "34".
    2.It emphasizes that the output of the input()
    function is always a string, even if a number is
    entered.
    e "31" is a string literal and 31 is a numeric literal
    Chapter 2 - Practice Set
    1.Write a Python program to add two numbers.

    2.Write a Python program to find the remainder


    when a number is divided by 2.

    3.Check the type of the variable assigned using


    the input() function.
    4.Use comparison operators to find out whether
    a given variable a is greater than b or not.
    Take a = 34 and b = 80.

    5.Write a Python program to find the average of


    two numbers entered by the user.

    6.Write a Python program to calculate the square


    of a number entered by the user.
