Study Notes
- Python's primary advantage is readability and ease of use.
- In Python, a variable's data type is determined at runtime based on the value assigned.
- The ** operator is used for exponentiation in Python.
- The output of type(3.14) is float.
- To check if a string is a substring of another string, use substring in string.
- An empty list in Python can be created using newlist = [] or list().
- The append() method adds an element to the end of a list.
- The index of the first element in a list is 0.
- You can remove the last element from a list using del list[-1].
- The insert() method inserts an element at a specific position in a list.
