    Study Notes

    What is Python?

    • Python is a popular programming language created by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991.
    • It is widely used for web development, software development, mathematics, and system scripting.
    • Python runs on various platforms including Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

    Why Choose Python?

    • Python has a simple syntax similar to English, making it easy to learn and read.
    • It enables developers to write programs with fewer lines of code compared to other languages.
    • Python's interpreted nature allows code to be executed immediately, speeding up prototyping.

    Python Syntax

    • Python uses new lines to complete commands instead of semicolons or parentheses.
    • Indentation is crucial in Python. Whitespace is used to define the scope of loops, functions, and classes, unlike curly brackets in other languages.

    Python Installation

    • Many PCs and Macs come with Python pre-installed.
    • To verify if Python is installed on a Windows PC, search for "Python" in the start bar or use the Command Line (cmd.exe).

    Python Quickstart

    • Python is interpreted, meaning you write Python (.py) files in a text editor and then execute them using the Python interpreter.
    • To run a Python file, navigate to the directory where it's saved in the command line and execute: python your_file.py.

    Python Indentation

    • Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line.
    • In Python, indentation is not just for readability; it defines a block of code within loops, functions, and classes.
    • The number of spaces is flexible but must be consistent within the code.

    Python Comments

    • Comments are used to explain code, enhance readability, and prevent code execution during testing.
    • Comments start with a '#' symbol, and Python ignores anything after it on the line.

    Python Variables

    • Variables are containers for storing data values.
    • Python does not require declaring variable types.
    • A variable is created when you assign a value to it.
    • Variable types can change after being set.

    Python Casting

    • Casting allows you to specify the data type of a variable using the int(), float(), and str() functions.

    Python Variable Names

    • Variable names must start with a letter or an underscore.
    • They cannot start with a number.
    • They can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores.
    • Variable names are case-sensitive.

    Python Multi Word Variable Names

    • Use camel case, Pascal case, or snake case to improve readability of variable names with multiple words.

    Python Output Variables

    • The print() statement is used to output variables.
    • Use the '+' operator to combine text and variables or add variables together.
    • Python will raise an error if you try to combine a string and a number using the '+' operator.

    Python Numbers

    • Int (Integers): Whole numbers, positive or negative, without decimals.
    • Float (Floating-point numbers): Numbers with one or more decimal places.
    • Type Conversion: Convert between number types using the int(), float(), and complex() methods.

    Python Strings

    • Strings are surrounded by single or double quotes.
    • Use the print() function to display strings.
    • Assign strings to variables using an equal sign.

    Python Multiline Strings

    • Create multiline strings by using three quotes: """Multi-line string""" or '''Multi-line string'''.

    Python String Methods

    • .upper(): Returns the string in uppercase.
    • .lower(): Returns the string in lowercase.

    Python String Concatenation

    • Use the '+' operator to combine or concatenate two strings.
