1. Data Types

This is a list of datatypes along with their short name and examples of how to use them:

[table id=1 /]

Numbers

Once we have our Python environment setup we can execute numerical calculations and obtain their results

Addition

4 + 4
= 8

Multiplication

2 * 2
= 4

Division

5 / 2
= 2.5

Division

7 / 4
= 1.75

Modulo or “Mod” can be used to find the remainder of a division operation

7 % 4
= 3

40 % 4
= 0

Power

2 ** 3
= 8

Order of Operations

2 + 3 * 4 + 2
= 16

(2 + 3) * (4 + 2)
= 30

Strings

Strings are ordered sequences of characters, and we use single or double quotes to identify them.

Single quotes

‘hello’

Double quotes

“Hello

We can use double quotes to help when our string is a phrase that contains a single quote

“What’s up!”
