Study Notes

Python Basics

Python, created by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991, is a top-tier programming language preferred for its simplicity and versatility.
Widely applied in web development, software development, mathematics, and system scripting, it has become a favorite among developers.
Python operates on various platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi, fostering cross-platform development.

Features of Python

Syntax: Simple and readable, resembling the English language.
Dynamically typed: Data types are inferred at runtime, eliminating the need for explicit declaration.
High-level: Abstracts complex details, making code more intuitive.
Garbage collection: Automatic memory management enhances programmer efficiency.
Multi-paradigm: Supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.

Career Opportunities

Python skills open doors to careers such as game developer, web designer, machine learning engineer, and data scientist, among others.
Major companies, including Google, Intel, and Netflix, actively seek proficient Python developers.

Python Versions

The latest major release is Python 3, while Python 2 remains popular despite limited updates.
Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) like Thonny, PyCharm, NetBeans, and Eclipse facilitate Python coding.

Variable Handling

Variables in Python are dynamic and can hold different data types without prior declaration.
Naming conventions dictate variables start with a letter or underscore and are case-sensitive.
The equal sign = is used for value assignment, while variable identities can be tracked using the id() function.

Python Data Types

Numbers: Includes integers, floats, and complex numbers.
Strings: A sequence of characters enclosed in quotes, supporting operations like concatenation and repetition.
Lists: Mutable collections that can store mixed data types, accessible via index slicing.
Tuples: Immutable collections, defined within parentheses, with properties similar to lists.
Dictionaries: Key-value pairs storing data, accessible via keys, resembling associative arrays.
Booleans: Two values (True/False) used for logical operations.
Sets: Unordered collections of unique items, allowing modification after creation.

Operators in Python

Operators perform operations between operands; they include:
- Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %, **, // for mathematical calculations.
- Comparison Operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <= facilitate value comparison and return Boolean results.
- Logical Operators: and, or, not perform logical operations and evaluate multiple conditions.
- Bitwise Operators: Operate on binary representations of integers for low-level manipulations.
- Membership Operators: Check for membership within data structures (e.g., in, not in).
- Identity Operators: Determine object identity (e.g., is, is not).

Example Code Snippets

Basic variable declaration and arithmetic:
```
a = 32
b = 6
print('Addition:', a + b)
```

Demonstrating list operations:

list1 = [1, "hi", "Python", 2]
print(list1[0:2])  # List slicing
print(list1 + list1)  # List concatenation

Conclusion

Python offers powerful programming capabilities, a rich set of features, and vast career prospects, making it an essential skill in today’s tech-driven world.### Membership Operators
Used to verify if a value exists within a data structure in Python.
in operator evaluates to true if the value is present; otherwise, false.
not in operator evaluates to true if the value is absent.
Example:
- x = ["Rose", "Lotus"]
- Output demonstrates usage:
  - print('Is value Present?', "Rose" in x) results in True.
  - print('Is value not Present?', "Riya" not in x) results in True.

Identity Operators

Help determine if two references point to the same object.
is operator returns true if both operands refer to the same object.
is not operator returns true if both operands refer to different objects.
Example:
- a = ["Rose", "Lotus"], b = ["Rose", "Lotus"], c = a:
  - print(a is c) returns True.
  - print(a is b) returns False.

Operator Precedence

Defines the order in which operators in expressions are evaluated.
Exponents (**) have the highest precedence.
Other operators are prioritized as follows:
- Unary operators (~, +, -),
- Multiplication and division (*, /, %, //),
- Addition and subtraction (+, -),
- Comparison (<, <=, >, >=),
- Equality (==, !=),
- Assignment (=, +=, etc.),
- Identity (is, is not),
- Membership (in, not in),
- Logical operators (not, or, and).

Conditional Statements

Allow execution of code blocks based on conditions.
Types include:
- if Statement: Executes code block if condition is true.
  - Example: To check if a number is even.
- if-else Statement: Executes one block if true; another if false.
  - Example: Voting eligibility based on age.
- elif Statement: Extends if statements to check multiple conditions.
  - Example: Determining which among three numbers is largest.

Control Statements

Python uses loops for repeated code execution.
Control statements modify default loop behavior:
- if Statements: Control loops based on a condition.
- Break Statement: Exits the loop immediately.
  - Example usage shows stopping a loop when a specific condition is met.
- Continue Statement: Skips the current iteration, returning control to the loop start.

Loops

for Loop: Iterates over a sequence (like lists or strings).
- Example: Printing elements from a list.
while Loop: Repeats a statement while a condition is true.
- Example: Printing the first five numbers.

Jump Statements

Designed to alter the flow of control in loops:
- Break Statement: Ends the current loop and moves to the next statement.
- Continue Statement: Skips the current iteration and continues with the next.

Match Statement

Enables pattern matching, simplifying decision-making processes.
Example usage demonstrates matching vowels against characters, providing specific outputs based on matches.
