Dataypes string, list en tuple veel gemeen: gezamelijk "sequences"
| s = "EYAWTKAPBWATA | |
| if "A" in s: ... | # 'A' in s ? |
| print(s[::2]) | # 'EATABAA' |
| c = len(s) | # 13 |
| a = min(s); b = max(s) | # 'A' resp. 'Y' |
| l = [17,51,12,3,46,25] | |
| if 46 in 1: ... | # 46 in 1? |
| n = l[1:5:2] | [51, 3] (1 tot 5!) |
| c = len(1) | 6 |
| a = min(1); b = max(1) | 3 resp. 51 |
| t = (23, "hallo", 77) | |
| if 77 in t: ... | # True |

Veel-gebruikte sequence operators
| x in s | test of element met waarde x in s zit |
| x not in s | |
| s + t | s geconcateneerd met t |
| s * n | n exemplaren van s |
| n * s | |
| s[i] | element i van s, geteld vanaf 0 |
| s[i:j] | slice van s vanaf i tot j |
| s[i:] | slice van s vanaf i tot einde |
| s[i:j:k] | slice van s vanaf i tot einde, stapgrootte k |
| len(s) | lengte van s (aantal objecten) |
| min(s) | kleinste element van s |
| max(s) | grootste element van s |
String heeft - naast sequence methods - nog extra methods
| s = "!Jantje zag pruimen hangen!!" | |
| c = s.count('an') | # 2 keer 'an' |
| i = s.find('ag') | # 9 s[9...] 'ag...' |
| i = s.find('zzz') | # -1 niet gevonden |
| i = s.index('ag') | # 9 |
| i = s.index('zzz') | # Exception! |
| u = s.super() | # u bevat '!JANTJE ZAG ...' |
| z = s.stip('!') | # z bevat 'Jantje zag pruimen hangen' |
| p = s.replace('Jantje', 'Pietje') | # p bevat '!Pietje zag ...' |
| t = s.split() | # ['Jantje', 'zag', 'pruimen', 'hangen!!'] |
| for woord in t: | |
| v = "=".join(t) | # '!Jantje=zag=pruimen=hangen!! |
| s.count(s2[,b[,e]]) | tel aantal keren s2 in s of deel daarvan |
| s.endswitch(s2[,b[,e]]) | start of eindigt s (of substring) met s2? |
| s.startswitch(s2[,b[,e]]) | |
| s.find(s2[,b[,e]]) | vind s2 in s vanaf links of vanaf rechts |
| s.rfind(s2[,b[,e]]) | (-1 als niet gevonden) |
| s.index(s2[,b[,e]]) | idem, met exception als niet gevonden |
| s.rindex(s2[,b[,e]]) | |
| s.isalnum(), s.isalpha(), s.isdigit(), | test alle characters in s |
| s.islower(), s.isspace(), s.istitle(), | true als alle voldoen, fals als niet of leeg |
| s.isupper() | |
| s.lower(), s.upper(), swapcase(), | maak hele string uppercase, lowercase, ... |
| s.capitalize(), s.title() | |
| s.lstrip([s2]), s.rstrip([s2]), | verwijder chars in s2 uit s |
| s.strip([s2]) | (default: whitspace) |
Merk op: string immutable, dus methods geven nieuwe string terug!
Veel gebruikte string methods:
| s.replace(old, new[,cnt]) | vervang old door new in s (geeft nieuwe string) |
| s.join(seq) | maak string van seq met scheider s |
| s.split([sep[,max]]) | maak lijst van s, met scheider sep |
| s.splitlines([keepends]) | maak lijst van regels (default: verwijder newlines) |

Als je een dictionary gebruikt, mag je zelfs de keys meegeven om te refereren aan bepaalde elementen van de dictionary, zoals aangegeven in dit voorbeeld:
| d = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3} |
| print(d['a']) |
| print("{0[c]}, {0[b]}".format(d)) |
| Formateren gaat verder: {veld:specifier} | ||

voorbeelden:
| a = 512 | |
| print(">{0:7}<".format(a)) | # > 512< |
| print(">{0:^7}<".format(a)) | # > 512 < |
| print(">{0:7}<".format(-a)) | # > -512< |
| print(">{0:=7}<".format(-a)) | # >- 512< |
| print(">{0:<6}<".format(a)) | # >512 < |
| print(">{0:05}<".format(a)) | # >00512< |

| print(">{0:7.2f)}<".format(b)) | # > 5.12< |
| print(">{0:.1f)}<".format(b)) | # >5.1< |
Als je een enkele waarde wilt formaterem, kun je gebruik maken van de format functie:
| getal = 7 | |
| bond = format(getal, '>03d') | |
| print(bond) | # >007< |
| lijst met waarden -- types mogen verschillen | |
|---|---|
| u = [] | # lege lijst |
| v = [1, 2, 'ho'] | # 3 elementen |
| w = [1, [5, 7], 7] | # 3 elementen: resp. int, list, int |
| w = [0] | # 1 |
| w = [1] | # [5,7] |
| w = [0:2] | # [1,[5,7]] |
| w = [1:] | # [[5,7],7] |
| w = [1][0] | # 5 |
| # if 5 in w: | # False |
| .... | |
| # if 5 in w[1]: | # True |
| .... |
| Gebruik van operatoren | |
|---|---|
| v2 = ["ha"] | # ['ha'] |
| v3 = v2 * 3 | # ['ha','ha','ha'] |
| v3[1] = 'ho' | # ['ha', 'ho', 'ha'] |
| v4 = v3 + v2 | # ['ha','ho','ha','ha'] |
| Valkuil bij gebruik van slices | |
|---|---|
| a = [1, [2, 3], 4] | |
| b = a[:] | # b top-level kopie van a |
| a[0] = 5 | |
| print(b[0]) | # waarde blijft 1 |
| a[1][0] = 7 | |
| print(b[1][0]) | # waarde 7 !! |
| import copy | |
| c = copy.deepcopy(a) | # c volledige kopie |
In plaats van de notatie:
mag ook:
Maar ook de .copy() methode maakt slechts een top-level kopie!
| List methodes en functies | |
|---|---|
| v = [1,2,3] | |
| v.reverse() | # b top-level kopie van a |
| v.append(4) | |
| v.insert(1, 6) | |
| v.sort() | # waarde blijft 1 |
| i = v.index(2) | |
| v.extend([0,7]) | # waarde 7 !! |
| del v[4] | |
| a = v.pop() | # c volledige kopie |
| t = sum(v) | # c volledige kopie |
| z = sorted(v) | # c volledige kopie |
| # c volledige kopie | |
| s = "hoi!" | # c volledige kopie |
| w = list(s) | # c volledige kopie |
| on = list( range(1,1000,2)) | # c volledige kopie |
sort() en reverse() werken in-place (geven geen waarde terug)sorted(list)en reversed(list) geven waarde terugHet tussenvoegen of vervangen van één f meerdere elementen is (ook) mogelijk met de slice-notatie:
| List opbouwen | |
|---|---|
| l = [] | |
| for i in range(100) | |
| l.append(2**i) | # vul list l met tweemachten |
| Kan ook in één keer: | |
|---|---|
| l = [ 2**i for i in range(100) ] |
| Dit kan ook | |
|---|---|
| l = [ 2**i for i in range(100) if i%13 ==0 ] | # waarde blijft 1 |
| Zelfs dit kan: | |
|---|---|
| a = [1,2,3] | |
| b = [4,5] | |
| l = [ (i,j) for i in a for j in b ] | |
| print(l) | # [(1,4),(1,5), (2,4), (2,5), (3,4), (3,5)] |
| Voorbeeld element vermenigvuldiging: | |
|---|---|
| >>> a = [ [0]*2 ]*3 | >>> a = [] |
| >>> a | >>> a.append([0, 0]) |
| [[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]] | >>>a.append( a[0] ) |
| >>> a[0][1] = 7 | >>> a.append( a[0] ) |
| >>> a | >>> a[0][1] = 7 |
| [[0,7],[0,0],[0,0]] | >>> vergelijk: x = [1,2,3] |
| y = x |
| Voorbeeld list comprehension: | |
|---|---|
| >>> a = [ [0]*2 for i in range(3) ] | >>> a = [] |
| >>> a [[0,0], [0, 0], [0, 0]] | >>> a.append([0, 0]) |
| >>> a[0][1] = 7 | >>> a.append([0, 0]) |
| >>> a [[0, 7], [0, 0], [0, 0]] | >>> a.append([0, 0]) |
| >>> a[0][1] = 7 | |
| vergelijk: x = [1,2,3] | |

Python has five standard data types −
Number data types store numeric values. Number objects are created when you assign a value to them. For example −
var1 = 1
var2 = 10
You can also delete the reference to a number object by using the del statement. The syntax of the del statement is −
del var1[,var2[,var3[....,varN]]]]
You can delete a single object or multiple objects by using the del statement. For example −
del var del var_a, var_b
Python supports four different numerical types −

Strings in Python are identified as a contiguous set of characters represented in the quotation marks. Python allows for either pairs of single or double quotes. Subsets of strings can be taken using the slice operator ([ ] and [:] ) with indexes starting at 0 in the beginning of the string and working their way from -1 at the end.
The plus (+) sign is the string concatenation operator and the asterisk (*) is the repetition operator. For example −
#!/usr/bin/python
str = 'Hello World!'
print str # Prints complete string
print str[0] # Prints first character of the string
print str[2:5] # Prints characters starting from 3rd to 5th
print str[2:] # Prints string starting from 3rd character
print str * 2 # Prints string two times
print str + "TEST" # Prints concatenated string
Hello World!
H
llo
llo World!
Hello World!Hello World!
Hello World!TEST
Lists are the most versatile of Python's compound data types. A list contains items separated by commas and enclosed within square brackets ([]). To some extent, lists are similar to arrays in C. One difference between them is that all the items belonging to a list can be of different data type.
The values stored in a list can be accessed using the slice operator ([ ] and [:]) with indexes starting at 0 in the beginning of the list and working their way to end -1. The plus (+) sign is the list concatenation operator, and the asterisk (*) is the repetition operator. For example −
#!/usr/bin/python
list = [ 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2 ]
tinylist = [123, 'john']
print list # Prints complete list
print list[0] # Prints first element of the list
print list[1:3] # Prints elements starting from 2nd till 3rd
print list[2:] # Prints elements starting from 3rd element
print tinylist * 2 # Prints list two times
print list + tinylist # Prints concatenated lists
['abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003]
abcd
[786, 2.23]
[2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003]
[123, 'john', 123, 'john']
['abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003, 123, 'john']
A tuple is another sequence data type that is similar to the list. A tuple consists of a number of values separated by commas. Unlike lists, however, tuples are enclosed within parentheses.
> The main differences between lists and tuples are: Lists are enclosed in brackets ( [ ] ) and their elements and size can be changed, while tuples are enclosed in parentheses ( ( ) ) and cannot be updated. Tuples can be thought of as read-only lists. For example −#!/usr/bin/python
tuple = ( 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2 )
tinytuple = (123, 'john')
print tuple # Prints complete list
print tuple[0] # Prints first element of the list
print tuple[1:3] # Prints elements starting from 2nd till 3rd
print tuple[2:] # Prints elements starting from 3rd element
print tinytuple * 2 # Prints list two times
print tuple + tinytuple # Prints concatenated lists
('abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003)
abcd
(786, 2.23)
(2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003)
(123, 'john', 123, 'john')
('abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003, 123, 'john')
#!/usr/bin/python
tuple = ( 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2 )
list = [ 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2 ]
tuple[2] = 1000 # Invalid syntax with tuple
list[2] = 1000 # Valid syntax with list
Python's dictionaries are kind of hash table type. They work like associative arrays or hashes found in Perl and consist of key-value pairs. A dictionary key can be almost any Python type, but are usually numbers or strings. Values, on the other hand, can be any arbitrary Python object.
Dictionaries are enclosed by curly braces ({ }) and values can be assigned and accessed using square braces ([]). For example −
#!/usr/bin/python
dict = {}
dict['one'] = "This is one"
dict[2] = "This is two"
tinydict = {'name': 'john','code':6734, 'dept': 'sales'}
print dict['one'] # Prints value for 'one' key
print dict[2] # Prints value for 2 key
print tinydict # Prints complete dictionary
print tinydict.keys() # Prints all the keys
print tinydict.values() # Prints all the values
This produce the following result −
This is one
This is two
{'dept': 'sales', 'code': 6734, 'name': 'john'}
['dept', 'code', 'name']
['sales', 6734, 'john']
Dictionaries have no concept of order among elements. It is incorrect to say that the elements are "out of order"; they are simply unordered.
Sometimes, you may need to perform conversions between the built-in types. To convert between types, you simply use the type name as a function.
There are several built-in functions to perform conversion from one data type to another. These functions return a new object representing the converted value.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| int(x [,base]) | Converts x to an integer. base specifies the base if x is a string. |
| long(x [,base] ) | Converts x to a long integer. base specifies the base if x is a string. |
| float(x) | Converts x to a floating-point number. |
| complex(real [,imag]) | Creates a complex number. |
| str(x) | Converts object x to a string representation. |
| repr(x) | converts object x to an expression string. |
| eval(str) | Evaluates a string and returns an object. |
| tuple(s) | Converts s to a tuple. |
| list(s) | Converts s to a list. |
| set(s) | Converts s to a set. |
| dict(d) | Creates a dictionary. d must be a sequence of (key,value) tuples. |
| frozenset(s) | Converts s to a frozen set. |
| chr(x) | Converts an integer to a character. |
| unichr(x) | Converts an integer to a Unicode character. |
| ord(x) | Converts a single character to its integer value. |
| hex(x) | Converts an integer to a hexadecimal string. |
| oct(x) | Converts an integer to an octal string. |

These operators compare the values on either sides of them and decide the relation among them. They are also called Relational operators.
Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then −
[ Show Example ]
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| == | If the values of two operands are equal, then the condition becomes true. | (a == b) is not true. |
| != | If values of two operands are not equal, then condition becomes true. | (a!= b) is true. |
| > | If the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, then condition becomes true. | (a > b) is not true. |
| < | If the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, then condition becomes true. | (a < b) is true. |
| >= | If the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand, then condition becomes true. | (a >= b) is not true. |
| <= | If the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, then condition becomes true. | (a <= b) is true. |
Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then −
[ Show Example ]
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| = | Assigns values from right side operands to left side operand | c = a + b assigns value of a + b into c |
| += Add AND | It adds right operand to the left operand and assign the result to left operand | c += a is equivalent to c = c + a |
| -= Subtract AND | It subtracts right operand from the left operand and assign the result to left operand | c -= a is equivalent to c = c - a |
| *= Multiply AND | It multiplies right operand with the left operand and assign the result to left operand | c *= a is equivalent to c = c * a |
| /= Divide AND | It divides left operand with the right operand and assign the result to left operand | c /= a is equivalent to c = c / ac /= a is equivalent to c = c / a |
| %= Modulus AND | It takes modulus using two operands and assign the result to left operand | c %= a is equivalent to c = c % a |
| **= Exponent AND | Performs exponential (power) calculation on operators and assign value to the left operand | c **= a is equivalent to c = c ** a |
| //= Floor Division | It performs floor division on operators and assign value to the left operand | c //= a is equivalent to c = c // a |
Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit by bit operation. Assume if a = 60; and b = 13; Now in binary format they will be as follows −
a = 0011 1100
b = 0000 1101
-----------------
a&b = 0000 1100
a|b = 0011 1101
a^b = 0011 0001
~a = 1100 0011
Pyhton's built-in function bin() can be used to obtain binary representation of integer number.
There are following Bitwise operators supported by Python language
[ Show Example ]
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| & Binary AND | Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands | (a & b) (means 0000 1100) |
| | Binary OR | It copies a bit if it exists in either operand. | (a | b) = 61 (means 0011 1101) |
| ^ Binary XOR | It copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both. | (a ^ b) = 49 (means 0011 0001) |
| ~ Binary Ones Complement | It is unary and has the effect of 'flipping' bits. | (~a ) = -61 (means 1100 0011 in 2's complement form due to a signed binary number. |
| << Binary Left Shift | The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. | a << = 240 (means 1111 0000) |
| >> Binary Right Shift | The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand. | a >> = 15 (means 0000 1111) |

Python’s membership operators test for membership in a sequence, such as strings, lists, or tuples. There are two membership operators as explained below
[ Show Example ]
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| in | Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. | x in y, here in results in a 1 if x is a member of sequence y. |
| not in | Evaluates to true if it does not finds a variable in the specified sequence and false otherwise. | x not in y, here not in results in a 1 if x is not a member of sequence y. |
Identity operators compare the memory locations of two objects. There are two Identity operators explained below:
[ Show Example ]
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| is | Evaluates to true if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and false otherwise. | x is y, here is results in 1 if id(x) equals id(y). |
| is not | Evaluates to false if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and true otherwise. | x is not y, here is not results in 1 if id(x) is not equal to id(y). |
The following table lists all operators from highest precedence to lowest.
