In previous part, we talked about different types of literals in Python programming language. In this post we will explore Python numeric literals which actually refers to Python numbers.There are four built-in data types for numbers:IntegerLong IntegerFloating Point NumberComplex NumberWe can use the type() function to know which class a variable or a value belongs to … Continue reading Learning Python Part – 12: Python Numbers

Learning Python Part-11: Python Literals
Literal in Python, is a raw data that is passed on to a variable or constant as values. In Python programming language, there are various types of literals as listed below:Numeric Literals:Numeric Literals are immutable (unchangeable). Numeric literals can belong to different numerical types like Integer, Float, and Complex.Examples:String literals:A string literal is a sequence of characters … Continue reading Learning Python Part-11: Python Literals
Learning Python part-10: Python Indentation
Programming languages like C, C++, Java use braces { } to define a block of code. For example, for loop in c++ will look like for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { cout << i << "\n";}Unlike other languages, Python uses indentation for code blocks. So the above code can simply be written … Continue reading Learning Python part-10: Python Indentation
Learning Python part-9: Python Statements
Python Statements:Instructions that a Python interpreter executes are called statements. There are different types of statements in the Python programming like Assignment statement, Conditional statement (if..elif...else), Looping statements (For loop, While loop)Single line statements:Example:a = 1 in above example, a = 1, is an assignment statement that assigns variable "a" with a value of 5. … Continue reading Learning Python part-9: Python Statements
Learning Python Part-8: Python Variables and Python Constants
It is not possible every time for programmer or user to provide input values to be used in program for some operations. This approach is fine when we are working in interactive mode or testing some small programs.However, in realtime scenarios, most of the times we need to provide and store the values in memory … Continue reading Learning Python Part-8: Python Variables and Python Constants
Learning Python Part-7: Python Identifiers
As we discussed earlier, in python programming, we use Object Oriented Programming (OOP) extensively. So before we go ahead and start creating objects like variables, classes or functions, we need to understand few basic considerations about how to set identifiers. In other words, naming convention rules for objects.Try to use names that helps to understand … Continue reading Learning Python Part-7: Python Identifiers
Learning Python Part 6: Python Comments
When it comes to writing a python program, based on the requirements, programs can simple programs of limited number of lines or it can be really large program which might even span multiple python modules. Now the point here is that, even if we know how to write the program and even we follow correct … Continue reading Learning Python Part 6: Python Comments
