Python之基础知识
一、数据类型和变量
计算机顾名思义就是做数学计算的机器，因此，计算机程序理所当然地可以处理各种数值。但是，计算机能处理的远不止数值，还可以处理文本、图形、音频、网页等各种各样的数据，不同的数据，需要定义不同的数据类型。在Python中，能够直接处理的数据类型有以下几种：
1、整数
Python可以处理任意大小的整数，当然包扣负整数，在程序中的表示方法和数学上的写法一模一样，例如：2,100,20等等。
计算机由于使用二进制，所以，有时候用十六进制表示整数比较方便，十六进制欧诺个0x前缀和0-9,a-f表示，例如：0xff11,0xa5等等
2、浮点数
浮点数也就是小数，之所以称为浮点数，是因为按照科学记数法表示时，一个浮点数的小数点位置是可变的。
整数和浮点数在计算机内部存储的方式是不同的，整数运算永远是精确的(除法难道也是精确的？是的！)，而浮点数运算则可能会有四舍五入的误差。
3、字符串
字符串是以"或""括起来的任意文本，比如'abc'，"xyz"等等。请注意，''或""本身只是一种表示方式，不是字符串的一部分，因此，字符串'abc'只有a,b,c这3个字符。如果'本身也是一个字符，那就可以用""括起来，比如"I'm OK"包含的字符是I,',m,空格,O,K这6个字符。
如果字符串内部既包含'又包含"怎么办?可以用转义字符\来标识，比如：'I\'m \"OK\"!'
表示的字符串内容是：I'm "OK"!
转义字符\可以转义很多字符，比如\n表示换行，\t表示制表符，字符\本身也要转义，所以\\表示的字符就是\，可以在Python的交互式命令行用print打印字符串看看：
>>> print 'I\'m OK.' I'm OK. >>> print '\\\n\\' \ \
如果字符串里面有很多字符都需要转义，就需要加很多\，为了简化，Python还允许用r''表示''内部的字符串默认不转义。
>>> print '\\\t\\' \ \ >>> print r'\\\t\\' \\\t\\
4、布尔值
布尔值和布尔代数的表示完全一致，一个布尔值只有True、False两种值，要么是True，要么是False。
5、空值
空值是Python里一个特殊的值，用None来表示。None不能理解为0，因为0是有意义的，而None是一个特殊的空值。
6、变量
变量的概念基本上和初中代数的方程变量是一致的，只是在计算机程序中，变量不仅可以是数字，还可以是任意数据类型。
7、常量
所谓常量就是不能变的变量，比如常用的数学常数π就是一个常量。
二、字符串
创建一个字符串就像使用一个标量一样简单，当然你也可以把str()作为工厂方法来创建一个字符串，并把它赋值给一个变量。
例如：
>>> aString = 'Hello World!' >>> print aString Hello World!
