---Variables and data type in Python ---

 Variables: 

Variables can be considered as the name of a container. In other words, a variable is a container whose value can change depending on certain conditions. 

When we allocate a value to a variable, it is known as a variable assignment.

 In python, the syntax for it is variable_name = value



 Let's understand Variables with the help of a birthday card.


















My birthday
1 st July 5:00 PM 
12/2, Rajouri Gardens 
9898463123

Now depending on whose birthday it is and who is being invited, the details being filled in the ‘_______’ (blank space) keep on changing…right? 
Imagine this ‘________’ as a container and the details being filled are the values. This value can change depending on circumstances.



Variables can be considered as the name of a container. So in the above example, 
date=”1 st July”
 address=”12/2, Rajouri Gardens”
 If the card is filled by someone else it can be, 
date=”21 st July”
 address=”34, MG road”
 Here, date, address, etc are containers (variables), and “1 st July”, ”12/2, ``Rajouri Gardens”, “21 st July” etc are values. 

Rules for forming Python variables: 

● A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character.
● A variable name cannot start with a number. 
● A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )(space is not allowed)
● Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age, and AGE are three different variables)


Datatype: 

Datatype is the type of value assigned to a variable. Depending on values that are assigned to a variable, a few common data types (variable type) in python are



suppose you want to take a printout of a birthday card. What details do you have to enter into the
computer, each time you take a printout? all the variables(like name, address, etc) have to be entered. And once you enter the variables, you will get the birthday card printed …right? So the variable data you enter is known as the input and the birthday card you get is the output. 



Output in python print () ->prints message given between () with newline(default) 

                                                                                                                                                                    Note : 

● “” is used with strings/ messages 
● If we give “” for the variable it will be considered as a string. 
● By default terminating the character of the print, the statement is a newline. 

Input in python

 ● input() 
 ● When the input() function executes program flow will be stopped until the user has given input. 
 ● By default, all input in python is taken as a string.

Syntax Input(). 
● returns the value entered by the user for the <message>  printed on-screen. 

●<message>  is optional.


program to get the name of the birthday boy from the user.





Now modify the above program to print his name on screen






In both the above versions, the name is the variable that holds the child’s name as a value.

Program to Get all the relevant details from users and prepare a birthday invitation card.




























Program to Get all the relevant details as input and make a birthday invitation card Get the invitee address details from the user and print out an address slip to be pasted on the invitation card.



















Output:

- Animating characters using pygame -

If you see closely you can see that the mickey mouse animation is made out of a lot of shapes.  But to create something like this we need to make a very complex code. The other way around it is to use an image, other than the basic shapes, pygame also can show images.  Using images :  Steps to use images in my game: > find the image you want to use  > move it to the directory where you have created your code  > import/load image  To load the image we will first create an object and then use the image. load method to add the image to the object.  here, we have created an object called an image.  We then use the "pygame.image.load" to find the file in the directory ocean.png has to be replaced with the filename of your file.  To place the object on a particular point of the screen we use the blit function.  this function means that we are going to add the image onto the screen at position 0,0 mickey mouse is winking  Usi...

- For loop in Python -

Loops: Loops are control structures used to repeat a given section of code  ● a certain number of times or  ● until a particular condition is met.  How do we keep ourselves fit nowadays? We must be doing some exercises ..right?   The steps followed in doing the exercise are repeated many times ..isn’t it? Depending on the fitness level of the person, he can choose to repeat a step 10,20, or even 100 times. Now suppose, you want to write a program to simulate exercise steps. Is it feasible to write the same steps again and again? Also, how many times does it has to be repeated changes from person to person. Looping structures come to our rescue in such scenarios. Duplicating lines can be eliminated by repeating them a required number of times. ‘ for’ loop ‘for loops’ are used when you have a block of code that you want to repeat a fixed number of times. A series of numbers within a given range.  Note :  ● A range has 3 parameters -start, end, ste...

-List Slicing in Python-

 List Slicing : Slicing helps in creating a new list from an existing list.  Syntax list_name [start :end:step] Suppose you have a list of Avengers, arranged in the order of your preference.   avengers=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”,”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”,”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”] Later you decide to split them into a separate list like  favourite=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”]                                                   less_favourite =[”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”]                             least_favourite=[”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”]  Now, we have 3 lists formed from the main list. Would you want to create these lists again from the beginning? This is where list slicing helps us. Here is the code to  G...
