Python Reference
print "The perimeter of the rectangle is", rectangle_perimeter, "cm."
Output:
$ python example02_int.py
Let there be a rectangle with the sides of lengths: 10 and 5 cm.
Then the area of the rectangle is 50 cm squared.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 30 cm.
Float
The float data type can also hold non-integer rational values.
Input:
# source_code/appendix_c_python/example03_float.py
pi = 3.14159
circle_radius = 10.2
circle_perimeter = 2 * pi * circle_radius
circle_area = pi * circle_radius * circle_radius
print "Let there be a circle with the radius", circle_radius, "cm."
print "Then the perimeter of the circle is", circle_perimeter, "cm."
print "The area of the circle is", circle_area, "cm squared."
Output:
$ python example03_float.py
Let there be a circle with the radius 10.2 cm.
Then the perimeter of the circle is 64.088436 cm.
The area of the circle is 326.8510236 cm squared.
String
A string variable can be used to store text.
Input:
# source_code/appendix_c_python/example04_string.py
first_name = "Satoshi"
last_name = "Nakamoto"
full_name = first_name + " " + last_name
print "The inventor of Bitcoin is", full_name, "."
