Topics in Introduction to Data Types and Variables

1

Python Program Structure and Identifiers

  • A typical Python program has 3 structural parts: import statements, function definitions, and program statements.
  • Import statements are used to include library files.
  • Identifiers are names given to programming elements such as variables, functions, classes, modules, and other objects.
2

Statements, Expressions, Lvalue and Rvalue

  • A statement is any programming instruction given in Python as per the syntax.
  • A statement is used to execute a task and may or may not return a value.
  • An expression is a legal combination of symbols, operators, and operands that produces a result.
3

  • Set is also described as a data type and is unordered, mutable, iterable, and has no duplicate elements.
