Purpose of indentation in Python

Indentation is used to define blocks of code, indicating which statements belong to a particular control structure (e.g., loops, conditional statements, functions).

Mutable data type in Python

A mutable data type is one that can be changed after it is created. Lists and dictionaries are mutable, tuples are not.

Convert a string to uppercase

The .upper() method converts all characters in a string to uppercase.

Python lists

Python lists can contain elements of different data types.

Study Notes

  • Indentation in Python code is used to define the structure and scope of code blocks.
  • A mutable data type in Python that can be changed after creation is a list.
  • In Python, the upper() method can be used to convert a string to uppercase.
  • Lists are mutable, ordered sequences of items and can contain a mix of data types.
  • A valid way to define a dictionary in Python is using curly braces {} with key-value pairs separated by colons.
  • Strings and tuples are examples of immutable data types in Python, meaning their values cannot be changed after they are created.
  • If you try to add a duplicate element to a set, it will not be added, as sets only store unique elements.
  • The correct way to open a file for writing in Python is by using the open() function with the mode 'w'.
  • To import a specific function from a module, you can use the from module import function statement.
  • The output of the code print([x * 2 for x in range(5)]) will be [0, 2, 4, 6, 8], because the list comprehension iterates through the numbers 0 to 4 and doubles each value.
