Study Notes
Built-in Python Modules
- Python Standard Library is a collection of modules for scripts, reducing rewriting common commands.
- Modules are imported at the start for reuse.
datetime
module provides objects for storing date and time information.datetime.date
: Generates dates without times.datetime.time
: Stores times not linked to specific dates.datetime.datetime
: Stores dates and times.datetime.timedelta
: Calculates date or time differences.datetime.timezone
: Represents time zone offsets from UTC
Import Time
- Python
time.sleep()
adds delays to program execution in seconds. time.sleep()
pauses the current thread, not the whole program.- Python
time
module must be imported before usingsleep()
.
The Math Module
- Contains mathematical functions, primarily applied to floating-point numbers.
- Suitable for complex number operations.
math.acos()
: Calculates the arc cosine of a number.math.acosh()
: Returns the inverse hyperbolic cosine.math.ceil()
: Rounds a number up to the nearest integer.math.comb()
: Calculates the number of combinations.math.copysign()
: Copies the sign of one number to another.math.cosh()
: Calculates the hyperbolic cosine.math.degrees()
: Converts an angle from radians to degrees.
Importing a Module and Assigning an Alias
- Allows importing a module with a different name (alias).
- Using an alias makes code more readable, keeping it concise.
The Random Module
- Generates pseudo-random numbers.
- Useful for applications needing randomness (games, simulations).
random.randint()
: Generates a random integer between given limits.
Python Exception Handling
- Errors in Python are of two types:
- Syntax errors: Occur due to incorrect code structure.
- Exceptions: Occur during execution from internal events.
try...except
statements handle potential errors.
Different Types of Exceptions
SyntaxError
: Occurs when the interpreter encounters incorrect syntax (e.g., missing colon).TypeError
: Occurs when an operation is applied to an object of the wrong type.NameError
: Occurs when a variable or function name is not found.IndexError
: Occurs when accessing an index outside a sequence's bounds.KeyError
: Occurs when trying to access a key that doesn't exist in a dictionary.ValueError
: Occurs when a function or method receives inappropriate arguments.AttributeError
: Occurs when trying to access a non-existent attribute.IOError
: Occurs when I/O operations (file handling) fail.ZeroDivisionError
: Occurs when dividing by zero.ImportError
: Occurs when importing a module fails.
Difference Between Syntax Errors and Exceptions
- Syntax errors prevent program execution immediately.
- Exceptions occur during execution but don't typically halt the program if handled.
Try...Except Statements: Handling Exceptions
try
block: Contains code potentially causing errors.except
block: Contains error-handling code.- Provides a way to catch and handle exception.
Catching Specific Exceptions
except ExceptionType
allows catching specific errors (e.g.,ZeroDivisionError
).
Try...Else Clause
else
block: Executed if thetry
block completes without exceptions.
Finally Clause
finally
block: Always executes, regardless of exceptions, ideal for cleanup.
Raising Exceptions
raise ExceptionType(message)
forces an exception; important for program control.
