Study Notes
Python Applications
- Python can be used for automating repetitive tasks, scientific computing, business applications, and blockchain development.
- Python is also used for everyday tasks like organizing finances.
Clean Code
- Clean code is well-written, easy to understand, maintain, and modify.
- Clear, logical, formatted, conventional, identifiable, and responsible code are all hallmarks of clean code.
Bad Code
- Bad code is poorly written, difficult to understand, and hard to maintain.
- Bad code can be more than just syntax errors.
- Signs of bad code include:
- Complexity, poor structure, lack of documentation, duplication, excessive dependencies, unnecessary complexity, poor scalability, inconsistent naming, excessive verbosity, no testing, and poor readability.
Indentation
- Indentation is crucial in Python's syntax and is not just a matter of style.
- Indentation:
- Defines blocks of code.
- Determines code flow.
- Improves code readability.
- Ensures code cleanliness.
- Facilitates collaboration.
Text Editors and IDEs
- Text editors are good for writing and editing code, but lack debugging capabilities.
- IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) are better for larger projects because they offer debugging and testing features.
- Some text editors for Python include IDLE, PyCharm, Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, and Jupyter notebooks.
Python Variables
- Variables are containers for storing data values.
- Variables are created when a value is assigned to them.
- Python does not require explicit variable declaration, and variable types can change.
Python Data Types
- Data types represent the kind of value that determines allowed operations.
- Every data type is a class, and variables are instances (objects) of these classes.
- Common data types include:
- Numeric (integers, floats, complex numbers)
- Sequences (lists, tuples, range)
- Sets (sets, frozen sets)
- Dictionaries
- Binary types (memoryview, bytearray, bytes)
- Boolean
- None (special value)
Type Casting
- Type casting allows you to explicitly specify the required data type of a variable.
- In Python, casting is done using constructor functions:
int()
: Converts to an integer.float()
: Converts to a floating-point number.str()
: Converts to a string.
Operators
- Arithmetic Operators:
+
(addition)-
(subtraction)*
(multiplication)/
(division)%
(modulus - remainder after division)**
(exponentiation)//
(floor division - rounds down to the nearest whole number)
- Assignment Operators:
=
(assignment)+=
(add and assign)-=
(subtract and assign)*=
(multiply and assign)/=
(divide and assign)%=
(modulus and assign)**=
(exponentiation and assign)//=
(floor division and assign)
- Bitwise Operators:
&
(bitwise AND)|
(bitwise OR)^
(bitwise XOR)~
(bitwise NOT)<<
(left shift)>>
(right shift)
- Comparison Operators:
==
(equal to)!=
(not equal to)>
(greater than)<
(less than)>=
(greater than or equal to)<=
(less than or equal to)
- Logical Operators:
and
(logical AND)or
(logical OR)not
(logical NOT)
- Identity Operators:
is
(checks if two variables refer to the same object)is not
(checks if two variables do not refer to the same object)
- Membership Operators:
in
(checks if a value is present in a sequence)not in
(checks if a value is not present in a sequence)
- Walrus Operator:
:=
(assigns a value to a variable and evaluates the expression at the same time)
- Bitwise Assignment Operators:
&=
(bitwise AND and assign)|=
(bitwise OR and assign)^=
(bitwise XOR and assign)
