Study Notes
Basics of Python - Chapter 2
- Python uses comments, starting with '#', for documentation within the code
- Comments can span multiple lines
- Python syntax is directly executable in the command line
- Python uses indentation to define code blocks (e.g.,
if 5 > 2:
) - The number of spaces for indentation is up to the programmer, but must be consistent within a block
- Variables are created when assigned a value, no separate declaration is needed in Python
- Variables are named containers for data, and their names are case sensitive
- Variable names can be a combination of letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_), but must start with a letter or underscore.
- Example valid variable names are
myVar
,my_variable
,_myVar
- Example invalid variable names are
2myVar
,my-var
,my var
- There are different styles for multi-word variable names (Camel Case, Pascal Case, Snake Case)
- Variables can be assigned multiple values in one line
- Python allows assigning the same value to multiple variables in a single line
- You can extract values from collections (lists, tuples, etc.) into variables (unpacking) using syntax like
x, y, z = fruits
- Output variables using
print()
separating them with commas for multiple arguments - Python's
print()
can output different data types, including numbers and strings - Python is dynamically typed; the type of a variable is determined by the value assigned to it, and it can change afterwards.
- Variables can be converted to other data types using built-in functions (e.g.,
int()
,float()
,str()
) - Python has built-in data types:
str
,int
,float
,complex
,list
,tuple
,range
,dict
,set
,frozenset
,bool
,bytes
,bytearray
,memoryview
,NoneType
- Python's
type()
function returns the type of a variable - Global variables created outside a function are accessible everywhere
- Local variables created inside a function are only accessible within that function
- Python numbers are of types
int
,float
,complex
- Integers represent whole numbers (positive or negative)
- Floats represent numbers with decimal values (positive or negative)
- Complex numbers have real and imaginary parts
- Operators: Arithmetic, logical, etc.
- Exponent operation has the highest precedence
- Multiplication, division, floor division, and remainder have equal precedence
- Addition and subtraction have equal precedence
- Comparison operators are used to compare objects (>, >=, <, <=, ==, !=).
- The result is a boolean (True/False).
- Logical operators (
not
,and
,or
) combine expressions - Python uses precedence rules to evaluate expressions in specific order
- Use
import random
to work with random numbers andrandom.randrange(start, stop)
for a random number within that range - The
bool()
function evaluates any value to eitherTrue
orFalse
Data Types
- In Python, the
type()
function can be used to determine the data type of a variable or an object. - Variable types can be set using assignments.
Operators
- Operators in Python perform actions on data. These include Arithmetic, Logical, Bitwise, Comparison and Assignment operators.
- Assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, etc.) assign a calculated value.
Conditionals
- Conditional statements use
if
,elif
,else
to execute code based on conditions - Indentation is vital for defining code blocks
