Quick Recap

  • Quick Recap – Variables in Python

In previous Chapter, I presented the following main concepts:

          •  
  • Variable
    • A Variable is defined as the Name Assigned to a Memory Location / Memory Address (to store Data (Values / Constants)), that can change (i.e., does not remain the same) every time a Python Program is executed
  • Three main Components of a Variable are
    • Variable Name
    • Value (stored) in a Variable (i.e., Content of a Variable)
    • Memory Location / Memory Address (used to store Value of a Variable)
  • Main Operations on a Variable
    • The main Operations performed on a Variable are
  • Operation 01
    • Store Value in a Variable
  • Operation 02
    • Modify / Update Value of a Variable
  • Operation 03
    • Use Value of a Variable for various Tasks
  • In Python, there are three main Types of Variables
    • Integer Variables
    • Float Variables
    • String Variables
  • Integer Variable
    • An Integer Variable is defined as the Name Assigned to a Memory Location / Memory Address (to store Integer Values (Constants)), that can change (i.e., does not remain the same) every time a Python Program is executed
  • Float Variable
    • A Float Variable is defined as the Name Assigned to a Memory Location / Memory Address (to store Floating-Point Values (Constants)), that can change (i.e., does not remain the same) every time a Python Program is executed
  • String Variable
    • A String Variable is defined as the Name Assigned to a Memory Location / Memory Address (to store Fixed Sequence of Characters (Constants)), that can change (i.e., does not remain the same) every time a Python Program is executed
  • input () Function
    • The input() Function takes User input (reads a Line) convert it in a String and return it
  • Code Time Variable Value vs Run Time Variable Value
    • Code Time Variable Value
      • At Code Time, the Value to be stored in a Variable is
        • Decided by the Programmer
    • Run Time Variable Value
      • At Run Time, the Value to be stored in a Variable is
        • Decided by the User (of the Program / Software)
  • Dry Run
    • The testing process which reduces the effect of Failure is called Dry Run
      • Check Data Type of Variable using type() Function
      • Check Memory Address of a Variable using id() Function
  • Variable Naming Conventions – Best Coding Practices
    • Best Coding Practice 01
      • Variable Name should be in lower case
    • Best Coding Practices 02
      • Use expressive Variable Names
    • Best Coding Practices 03
      • Use underscore to separate words in long Variable Names

Expression

  • Expression
  • Definition
    • In Programming Language, an Expression is a combination of Operands (Variables / Constants) and Operator(s) to produce an Output Value
  • Note
    • An Expression is a Python Statement which returns a Value
  • Purpose
    • The main purpose of an Expression is to perform various Operations to
      • accomplish a given Task
  • Importance
    • Expressions help us to perform
      • Complex Calculations and Tasks
  • Main Components of an Expression
  • An Expression comprises of Two Main Components
    • Operator
    • Operands
  • Note
    • In an Expression, we must have at least
      • One Operator and
      • Two Operands
    • In an Expression, Operands can be either
      • Variables or
      • Constants
  • Valid Expressions vs Invalid Expressions

For an Expression to be Valid, it must satisfy the following Conditions

Conditions for a Valid Expressions

  • Condition 01
    • A Valid Expression will have at least
      • One Operator and
      • Two Operands
  • Condition 02
    • Operands in an Expression should be either
      • Variables or
      • Constants
  • Condition 03
    • When a Variable is used in an Expression, it must be
      • first declared and Value must be Stored in it before using it in an Expression
    • Note
      • If we use a Variable without Declaration and Storing a Value in it
      • An Error will be generated, and Python Program will not be executed
  • Condition 04
    • Since an Expression returns an Output Value, we may use an Expression in either
      • print() Statement or
      • Assignment Statement
    • Note
      • If we don’t use the Result (Output Value) returned by an Expression in either: (1) print() Statement – to display Output Value on the Output Screen, or (2) Store it in a Variable using Assignment Statement – for further processing
      • An Error will be generated, and Python Program will not be executed

    • In Integer Division, both Dividend (Operand 01) and Divisor (Operand 02) must be Integer Values (Constants)
      • Consequently, Quotient (Output Value) will also be an Integer Value (Constant)
  • Integer Division - Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and Remainder
  • In Integer Division, an Integer Value (Number) is divided by any other Integer Value (Number) to get another Integer Value (Number) as Output 
  • Dividend 
    • The Integer Value (Number) which is getting divided is called Dividend
  • Divisor 
    • The Integer Value (Number) which divides a given Value (Number) is called Divisor
  • Quotient 
    • The Output (Integer) Value (Number) which we get as a result is called Quotient
  • Remainder 
    • Remainder is an Integer Value, that is left over after dividing Dividend with Divisor to produce Quotient
  • Example – Integer Division (Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and Remainder)
  • Task Description
    • Identify the Values of Dividend, Divisor Quotient and Remainder in the following Expression
  • Expression, Dividend, Divisor and Quotient
    • Expression
      • int(10 / 4) = 2

    • Divisor
      • 4
    • Quotient
      • 2
    • Remainder 
      • 2
  • Float Division
  • Definition 
    • In Float Division, both (Dividend and Divisor) or one of them must be a Float Value (Constant)
      • Consequently, Quotient (Output Value) will also be a Float Value (Constant)
  • Example – Float Division (Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and Remainder)
  • Task Description
    • Identify the Values of Dividend, Divisor Quotient and Remainder in the following Expression
  • Expression, Dividend, Divisor and Quotient
    • Expression
      • 10.0 / 4.0 = 2.5
    • Dividend

    • Divisor
      • 4.0
    • Quotient
      • 2.5
    • Remainder
      • 0
  • Important Note
  • By default, Python performs Float Division on all Numbers (either Integer or Float)
  • Example 1 – Division in Python 
    • 10 / 4 = 2.5
  • Example 2 – Division in Python
    • 10.0 / 4.0 = 2.5
  • Note that Quotient of Example 1 and Example 2 are exactly same
    • Although in Example 1, both Numbers are Integer and 
    • In Example 2, both Numbers are Float

Chapter Summary

  • Chapter Summary

In this Chapter, I presented the following main concepts:

  • Operation 
    • In Computer Programming, an Operation is defined as an action that is carried out to accomplish a given Task
  • Five Basic Computer Operations
    • The five basic Computer Operations are
      • Input
      • Processing
      • Output
      • Store
      • Control
  • Operator
    • In Computer Programming, an Operator is defined as a special Symbol, which is used to carry out Arithmetic / Logical Operations
  • Operand 
    • In Computer Programming, an Operand is defined as the Object (or Value) on which an Operator operates 
  • Expression
    • In Programming Language, an Expression is a combination of Operands (Variables / Constants) and Operator(s) to produce an Output Value 
  • Main Components of an Expression
    • An Expression comprises of Two Main Components
      • Operator
      • Operands
  • Types of Operators
    • The main Types of Operators (in Python) are 
      • Assignment Operator
      • Arithmetic Operators
      • Logical Operators
      • Comparison Operators
      • Membership Operators
      • Identity Operators
  • Assignment Operator
    • Assignment Operator is represented with = Symbol 
  • Arithmetic Operator
    • An Arithmetic Operator is an Operator that takes two Operands and performs Calculation on them
  • Types of Arithmetic Operators in Python
    • In Python, we have following six Arithmetic Operators 
      • Addition 
        • +
      • Subtraction 
        • –
      • Multiplication 
        • *
      • Division 
        • /
      • Exponent 
        • **
      • Modulus  
        • %
  • Exponent 
    • Exponent (or Power) of a Number tells us how many times a Number will be multiplied by itself
  • Dividend, Divisor and Quotient
    • In Division, a Value (Number) is divided by any other Value (Number) to get another Value (Number) as Output 
  • Dividend 
    • The Value (Number) which is getting divided is called Dividend
  • Divisor 
    • The Value (Number) which divides a given Value (Number) is called Divisor
  • Quotient 
    • The Output Value (Number) which we get as a result is called Quotient
  • Types of Division
    • In Python, two main Types of Division are 
      • Integer Division
      • Float Division
  • Integer Division
    • In Integer Division, both Dividend (Operand 01) and Divisor (Operand 02) must be Integer Values (Constants)
    • Consequently, Quotient (Output Value) will also be an Integer Value (Constant)
    • Integer Division – Dividend, Divisor, Quotient and Remainder
    • In Integer Division, an Integer Value (Number) is divided by any other Integer Value (Number) to get another Integer Value (Number) as Output 
  • Dividend 
    • The Integer Value (Number) which is getting divided is called Dividend
  • Divisor 
    • The Integer Value (Number) which divides a given Value (Number) is called Divisor
  • Quotient 
    • The Output (Integer) Value (Number) which we get as a result is called Quotient
  • Remainder 
    • Remainder is an Integer Value, that is left over after dividing Dividend with Divisor to produce Quotient
  • Float Division
    • In Float Division, both (Dividend and Divisor) or one of them must be a Float Value (Constant)
    • Consequently, Quotient (Output Value) will also be a Float Value (Constant)
  • Precedence of Operators
    • The Order in which Operators are applied on Operands in an Expression is called Precedence of Operators
