Python Fundamentals I: Python Variables, Data Types and Operators

WHAT THIS COVERS Learn how a variable works in Python. You will see what happens when a variable is given a new value. This video also covers the four basic data types, int, float, str and bool, and how to check which one you have with type(). You will also see how to convert between types with int(), float() and str(). Next, you will also learn the rules and convention Python has for naming variables Finally, we will cover the arithmetic operators, including floor division (//), modulo (%) and powers (**). You will see why the plus sign adds numbers but joins strings, and refuses to mix the two. The video also covers the difference between = and ==, combining conditions with and, or and not, and the order Python applies operators in, using brackets to make your intention clear.
