VARIABLES

 In Python, variables are used to store data values. They serve as named references or placeholders for values that can be used and manipulated within a program. Here's an overview of variables in Python:

Variable Naming:

A variable name can consist of letters (both uppercase and lowercase), digits, and underscores. However, it must start with a letter or an underscore. Python is case-sensitive, so variables named "myVariable" and "myvariable" would be considered different.

Variable Assignment

Variables are created and assigned values using the assignment operator (=). For example:

x = 10 name = "John"

Data Types:

Python is a dynamically typed language, which means you don't need to explicitly declare the type of a variable. The type is automatically inferred based on the assigned value. Common data types in Python include:
  • Numeric types: int (integer), float (floating-point number), complex (complex number)
  • Strings: str (sequence of characters)
  • Boolean: bool (True or False)

  • Collections: list, tuple, set, dictionary

Variable Reassignment:

Variables can be reassigned with new values of the same or different data types. The type of a variable can change when reassigned to a value of a different type.

Variable Naming Conventions

It's good practice to follow naming conventions to write clean and readable code. Variable names should be descriptive and meaningful. For example, age instead of a, total_students instead of t_s, etc. Python follows the PEP 8 style guide for naming conventions.

Constants:

  1. While Python doesn't have built-in support for constants, it is common practice to use uppercase variable names for values that are intended to be treated as constants. Although the value can still be changed, it acts as a convention to indicate that the value should not be modified.

Here's an example showcasing some variable usage in Python:

# Numeric variables x = 5 y = 3.14 # String variables name = "Alice" greeting = "Hello, " + name # Boolean variable is_valid = True # List variable numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # Dictionary variable person = {"name": "John", "age": 25} # Variable reassignment x = "Hello" y = 10 # Constants (using uppercase convention) PI = 3.14159 MAX_VALUE = 100

Remember that variables allow you to store and manipulate data throughout your program, providing a way to store information and refer to it by a name.

DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINT

-
distance between two points python code import math def calculate_distance(x1, y1, x2, y2): distance = math.sqrt((x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2) return distance # Example usage: x1 = 1 y1 = 2 x2 = 4 y2 = 6 distance = calculate_distance(x1, y1, x2, y2) print("The distance between the two points is:", distance) OUTPUT: The distance between the two points is: 5.0 In this code, the calculate_distance() function takes the coordinates of two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as input parameters. It uses the distance formula to calculate the distance and returns the result. The math.sqrt() function from the math module is used to calculate the square root of the expression (x2 - x1) ** 2 + (y2 - y1) ** 2. Finally, an example usage is provided, where the coordinates of the two points are assigned to variables x1, y1, x2, and y2. The calculated distance is then printed to the console.

RETURN VALUE

RETURN VALUE In Python, you can return values from functions using the return statement. The return statement allows you to send a value back to the caller of the function. Here's an example code that demonstrates returning values in Python: distance between two points python code def add_numbers(a, b): return a + b result = add_numbers(5, 3) print(result) # Output: 8 In the above example, we have a function named add_numbers that takes two arguments a and b . Inside the function, we use the return statement to send back the sum of a and b . When we call the add_numbers function with 5 and 3 , it returns the sum 8 . We store the returned value in the result variable and then print it to the console. Here's another example that demonstrates returning multiple values from a function: def get_name_length(name): length = len(name) is_long = length > 5 return length, is_long name_length, is_name_long = get_name_l...
