🧠 Data Type: int – Integer

🔍 What is int?

Used to represent whole numbers. No decimal points. Includes positive, negative numbers, and zero.

# Real-Time Code Examples for int price_str = "150" price = int(price_str) print(price * 2) # 300 print(abs(-200)) # 200 print(pow(2, 5)) # 32 print(bin(10)) # 0b1010 print(hex(255)) # 0xff print(oct(10)) # 0o12 print(round(49.75)) # 50 print(type(100)) # <class 'int'>

🧠 Data Type: float – Floating-Point Number

🔍 What is float?

Used to represent numbers with decimal points. Useful when precision is needed like in prices, weight, or scientific data.

✅ Real-Time Scenarios

Real-World Use Case Python Example
Product price price = 149.99
Bank balance balance = 10500.50
Student marks marks = 78.25
Temperature temp = 36.6
BMI tracking bmi = 22.45

⚙️ Built-in Functions for float

Function Description Real-Time Use Case Example
float() Convert to float Price conversion float("99.99") → 99.99
round() Round to decimals Mark/price rounding round(78.456, 2) → 78.46
int() Convert to integer Drop decimal if needed int(12.9) → 12
format() Format float Invoice printing format(3.14159, ".2f") → '3.14'
is_integer() Check if decimal part is 0 Validation check (5.0).is_integer() → True
type() Get data type Validation/debugging type(5.5) → <class 'float'>
# Real-Time Code Examples for float price = float("149.99") print(price + 50) # 199.99 marks = 78.4567 print(round(marks, 2)) # 78.46 weight = 59.8 print(int(weight)) # 59 pi = 3.14159 print(format(pi, ".2f")) # '3.14' value = 7.0 print(value.is_integer()) # True x = 5.5 print(type(x)) # <class 'float'>

🧠 Data Type: str – String

🔍 What is str?

The str (string) type is used to represent text in Python. It's a sequence of characters enclosed in quotes, like "hello" or 'world'.

✅ Real-Time Scenarios

Real-World Use Case Python Example
User name name = "Sairam"
Greeting message message = "Welcome back!"
Password input password = "abc@123"
Address or location address = "Hyderabad"
Email ID email = "hello@gmail.com"
Status or label status = "Pending"

⚙️ Built-in Functions/Methods for str

Function/Method Description Real-Time Use Case Example
str() Convert value to string Print numbers with text str(25) → '25'
.lower() To lowercase Case-insensitive search "HELLO".lower()
.upper() To uppercase Header formatting "hello".upper()
.title() Capitalize each word Display names/titles "hello world".title()
.strip() Remove spaces Form input cleaning " hello ".strip()
.replace() Replace part of string Masking data "abc123".replace("123", "***")
.split() Split string to list Parse CSV text "a,b,c".split(",")
.join() Join list to string Format CSV line ",".join(["a","b"])
