Study Notes
Software Development Process
- Consists of five stages: Understanding the Problem, Defining Specifications, Planning the Solution, Writing the Code, and Testing & Debugging.
- Understanding the Problem: Clearly defining the program's purpose and target audience is crucial.
- Defining Specifications: Outlining program features, functions, inputs, processing, and expected outputs.
- Planning the Solution: Mapping the program's functionality, selecting appropriate algorithms and data structures.
- Writing the Code: Translating the plan into code using an appropriate language (e.g., Python).
- Testing and Debugging: Rigorous testing under various conditions to identify and fix any bugs.
Input, Processing, and Output
- Input: Gathering data from various sources; manipulating it according to defined specifications.
- Processing: Performing calculations, manipulations, or transformations on the data.
- Output: Displaying or delivering results (information) to the user
Variables
- Named references for storing data.
- Crucial for managing and manipulating data effectively.
- Python naming conventions, case sensitivity, and reserved keywords are important for clarity and functionality.
Data Types
- Data Type: Defines the characteristics of data a variable can hold.
- Numeric Types: Integers, floats, and complex numbers.
- Text Types: Strings.
- Boolean Types: True or False.
Expressions and Operators
- Expressions: Small segments of code that create or calculate new data values.
- Operators: Symbols performing specific operations on variables and values.
Python Keywords
- Python keywords: Reserved words that have special meanings in Python.
- Cannot be used as variable names.
String Operations
- String slicing: Extracting substrings.
- Concatenation: Combining multiple strings into a single string.
- String formatting: (e.g., using f-strings).
Control Flow
- Conditional statements: (if, if-else, if-elif-else): Controlling program flow based on conditions.
- if statement: Executes a block of code if a specified condition is true.
- if-else statement: Executes one block of code if the condition is true and another block if it is false.
- if-elif-else statement: Checks multiple conditions sequentially.
- match-case statement: Alternative to switch statements, allowing for more complex conditional logic.
Type Conversion
- Converting from one data type to another (e.g., string to integer).
Operators
- Arithmetic operators: Used for basic mathematical computations (+, -, *, /, //, %);
- Comparison operators: Compare values (e.g., ==,!=, <, >, <=, >=);
- Logical operators: Combine conditional statements (e.g., and, or, not).
