    Study Notes

    Python Basics

    • Python is an open source programming language.

    Installation and Working with Python

    • Python can be installed and worked with using Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as PyCharm, Jupyter Notebook, and Google Colab.

    Variables and Basic Data Types

    • A variable is a name given to a memory location that stores a value temporarily during computation.
    • Variables point to a particular value at a memory location via its address.
    • Data types in Python include:
      • Numeric (int, float, complex)
      • Strings
      • Lists
      • Tuples
      • Dictionary
      • Sets and Frozensets
      • Logical (AND, OR, TRUE, FALSE)
      • Null (None)

    Data Types

    • Numeric data types:
      • int (positive and negative whole numbers)
      • float (decimal numbers)
      • complex (complex numbers)
    • String data type:
      • A sequence of characters
      • Case-sensitive
    • List data type:
      • A collection of items that can be of any data type
      • Ordered and changeable
    • Tuple data type:
      • A collection of items that cannot be changed
      • Ordered and unchangeable
    • Dictionary data type:
      • A collection of key-value pairs
      • Unordered and changeable
    • Sets and Frozensets data types:
      • An unordered collection of unique objects
      • Sets are changeable, while Frozensets are unchangeable
    • Logical data type:
      • Boolean values (True or False)
    • Null data type:
      • None (represents the absence of a value)

    Operators

    • Assignment Operators
    • Arithmetic Operators
    • Comparison Operators
    • Membership Operators
    • Identity Operators
    • Bitwise operators
    • Precedence and Associativity

    Functions and Modules

    • Modules:
      • A file that contains a collection of related functions and variables
      • Imported using the import statement
    • Functions:
      • A block of code that can be executed multiple times from different parts of a program
      • Can take arguments and return values

    Input/Output Functions

    • input() function:
      • Used to get input from the user
      • Returns a string by default
      • Can be converted to other data types explicitly
    • print() function:
      • Used to display output to the standard output devices
      • Can take multiple arguments and separate them with spaces
