Study Notes

Python Data Structures

Python offers various data structures, including strings, ranges, tuples, lists, sets, and dictionaries.
Tuples: Ordered, immutable sequences of elements.
Elements within a tuple are enclosed in parentheses (), and multiple elements are separated by commas.
Accessing elements is similar to strings: using index.
- Example: my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
- Accessing the second element: my_tuple[1]
Tuples are immutable; their elements cannot be changed after creation.
To create a 1-element tuple, include a trailing comma. For example, (5,) is a tuple, while just (5) is an integer.
Lists: Ordered, mutable sequences.
Elements are enclosed in square brackets [] and elements are separated by commas.
Lists can be modified (added, removed, changed) after creation—mutable nature.
Elements can be accessed by index.
Example: my_list = [1, 2, 3]
Accessing the second element: my_list[1]
Sets: Unordered collections of unique elements.
Elements are enclosed in curly braces {} separated by commas.
Sets do not allow duplicate elements.
Sets offer operations like union, intersection, and difference.
Example: my_set = {1, 2, 3}
Dictionaries: Unordered collections of key-value pairs.
Elements are enclosed in curly braces {}.
Each key-value pair is separated by a colon :.
Keys must be unique and immutable (strings, numbers, tuples).
Values can be any data type.
Example: my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}
- Accessing the age: my_dict["age"]

Sequence Operations

Sequences (strings, lists, tuples, ranges) share common operations, like indexing, slicing, and concatenation.
Indexing: Accessing elements using their position. Negative indexing is possible, where -1 is the last element.
Slicing: Extracting a portion of the sequence.
Concatenation: Joining two or more sequences.
Repetition: Creating a new sequence by repeating the original sequence.
Length: Determining the number of elements in a sequence (using len()).
Membership testing: Checking if an element exists in a sequence (in operator).

List Methods

append(): adds an element to the end of a list.
insert(): inserts an element at a specific index.
remove(): removes the first occurrence of an element.
index(): returns the index of the first occurrence of a value.
pop(): removes and returns an element (by default, the last one).
pop(index): removes and returns element at the specified index.
reverse(): reverses the order of elements in a list.
sort(): sorts the elements in a list in ascending order (modify the list in place).

String Methods

count(): obtains the number of occurrences of a substring.
find(): return the index of the first occurrence.
rfind(): return the index of the last occurrence.
lower(): converts the string to lowercase.
replace(): replaces part of the string.
rstrip(): removes trailing whitespace characters.
split(): splits the string into a list of substrings using a delimiter (by default, whitespace)

Escape Characters

Escape characters (\), used within strings, control special characters like new lines (\n), tabs (\t), and quotes (\', \").

Dictionary Methods

len(): returns the number of key-value pairs.
keys(): returns a view object containing the dictionary's keys.
values(): returns a view object containing the dictionary's values.
items(): returns a view object containing the dictionary's key-value pairs.
update(): merges another dictionary's key-value pairs with the current dictionary.
del: removes a key-value pair.
Check existence of Key- key in dictionary.
