    Study Notes

    Variables and Comments

    • Variables are symbols representing data
    • The symbol '#' is used for comments in Python
    • int() converts strings to integers

    Errors and Functions

    • Dividing by zero is a runtime error
    • IDEs are used for program development including source code writing
    • int() converts strings to integers

    Data Types

    • float is the data type for floating-point numbers
    • -2 is the result of x after the code provided.
    • keyword can't be used as a variable name in Python
    • print('I won\'t quit!') displays the literal string I won't quit!
    • print(f'{"Tokyo":s} had {9.273000:f} million people in {2015:d}') displays Tokyo had 9.273000 million people in 2015

    Set Operations

    • companies.remove('Google') removes 'Google' from the companies set.

    Lists and Operations

    • names_list + digits_list concatenates the two lists.
    • The result of names_list is ['one', 'two', 'three', '1', '2', '3']

    String Indexing

    • text_line[6] extracts the character at index 6 from the string text_line.
    • The result is 'S'.

    Conditional Logic

    • Logic to determine a user's input for continuing or quitting (key != 'q')

    Conditional Statements

    • Statements for determining the Output given different x values
    • -x values from 21 to 40 correspond to "Medium" output

    Conditional Output

    • A grade of 75 results in "C" being printed (as per the given conditional logic)

    Operator Precedence

    • The multiplication (*) operation is evaluated before addition (+) and subtraction (-) in the expression x + y < y - z * 2
    • Looping and values- Loops can work with negative values as well.

    Looping

    • Iteration describes each cycle of a loop
    • Infinite loops are generally not desirable and are not favorable

    Function Execution and Return

    • After a function's last statement, the program returns to the line following the function call
    • calc_square_area(val) returns the calculated area value

    Exceptions

    • Exceptions handle errors in programs
    • EOFError, ZeroDivisionError, and ValueError are examples of common exceptions in Python
    • The programmer is able to define their own exception types.
