  3. Int

  4. Character

Answered by David EDWARDS

In the context of Python programming language, the option that is true regarding a valid data type in Python is option 3 which refers to the Int. The “Int” in Python programming language is used in representing the whole number, positive or even negative, without any decimal point. Here is an example given of how Integer is coded in Python programming language:-


# Example of integer variables

A = 5
B = -10
C = 0
# Performing arithmetic operations with integers
Sum_result = a + b # sum_result will be -5
Product_result = a * c # product_result will be 0
# Printing the results
Print(“Sum:”, sum_result)
Print(“Product:”, product_result)

In the Python programming language, unlike some programming languages such as C or even Java programming language, there is not any Direct concept or even link of Void as a data type or even return type for the functions.

In the context of Python programming language the concept of Double as a specific data used for floating point numbers, which generally represents double precision floating point values in languages like C or even Java, does not exist. Instead, the Python programming language uses a single type for the floating point numbers. Here is how floating point numbers are used and coded in Python programming language:-

# Example of float variables

X = 3.14
Y = -2.5
Z = 1.0
# Performing arithmetic operations with floats
Sum_result = x + y # sum_result will be 0.64
Product_result = x * z # product_result will be 3.14
# Printing the results
Print(“Sum:”, sum_result)
Print(“Product:”, product_result)

In the Python programming language, there is not any specific data type solely for the Individual characters, as you may find in Java programming language or C programming language. Instead, characters are treated as a string of length one. In Python you can create a string that contains a single character by using the quotes (' or “) around the Character:

# Example of character representation in Python
Char1 = ‘a’
Char2 = ‘B’
Char3 = ‘@’
# Printing the characters
Print(“Character 1:”, char1)
Print(“Character 2:”, char2)
Print(“Character 3:”, char3)

Since the characters are treated as the string of length in the Python programming language, you can perform string operations and also access individual characters by using indexing:

# Accessing characters in a string
Word = “Python”
First_char = word[0] # ‘P’
Last_char = word[-1] # ‘n’
# Iterating over characters in a string
For char in word:
    Print(char)

In the Python programming language, the characters are effectively handled as strings of length one. The above method or approach would help you in string manipulation. It will also help in indexing the operation, treating characters uniformly with the other string elements.
