Data Types And Structures

Muhtasari

A program is only as good as the way it stores its data. Cram everything into the wrong shape, a whole class of exam scores squeezed into one string, or a student's details spread across five unrelated variables, and even a correct algorithm becomes painful to write and easy to break. Choosing the right data type and the right data structure is a design decision, not an afterthought.

This lesson covers Python's core data types, the three data structures named in the specification, records, one-dimensional arrays and two-dimensional arrays, how to manipulate strings, and the difference between local and global variables when writing subprograms. As throughout this subject, every example is written in Python, one of the three languages, alongside C# and Java, permitted for the Paper 2 practical exam.

Malengo

  1. Understand the need for, and understand how to use, data types (integer, real, Boolean, char, string)
  2. Understand the need for, and understand how to use, data structures (records, one-dimensional arrays, two-dimensional arrays)
  3. Understand the need for, and how to manipulate, strings
  4. Understand the need for, and how to use, variables and constants
  5. Understand the need for, and how to use, global and local variables when implementing subprograms

Maelezo ya Somo

Every piece of data a program works with has a data type, which determines what kind of value it can hold and what operations make sense on it. The specification names five: integer, real, Boolean, char and string.
