Study Notes
Python New Lines and Indentation
- Indentation is crucial in defining blocks of code for structures like
if,elif, andwhileloops. - Example of a basic
if-elseblock:- Checks if
bis greater thana, prints accordingly.
- Checks if
- A
whileloop continues iteration as long as the condition is true.
Comments in Python
- Comments are initiated with
#, and Python ignores them to enhance code readability. - No formal syntax exists for multiline comments, but triple quotes can serve as comment blocks.
Variables in Python
- Variables are created with the first assignment of a value.
- They do not require predefined data types; the type is determined by the value assigned.
- Variables can change types dynamically with new assignments.
Variable Naming Rules
- Variable names can contain letters, numbers, and underscores but must begin with a letter or underscore.
- They are case-sensitive, meaning
age,Age, andAGEare different variables. - Examples of legal names:
myVar,my_var,_my_var,myVar2. Examples of illegal names:2myvar,my-var,my var.
Variable Naming Conventions
- Descriptive variable names enhance code clarity.
- Common naming styles:
- Camel Case: e.g.,
numberOfGraduates - Pascal Case: e.g.,
NumberOfGraduates - Snake Case: e.g.,
number_of_graduates
- Camel Case: e.g.,
Multiple Variables Assignment
- Assign multiple values to variables simultaneously:
x, y, z = "Apple", "Peach", "Cherry". - Assign one value to multiple variables:
x = y = z = "Apple".
Outputting Variables
- Concatenation of strings with variables can be achieved using
+operator or formatted strings (f-strings).
Local and Global Variables
- Variables declared inside a function are local to that function.
- Variables created outside any function are global and accessible within and outside functions.
Data Types in Python
- Text Type:
str - Numeric Types:
int,float,complex - Sequence Types:
list,tuple,range - Mapping Type:
dict - Set Types:
set,frozenset - Boolean Type:
bool - Binary Types:
bytes,bytearray,memoryview
Python Numbers
- Types include
int,float, andcomplex. - Examples show type identification and conversion.
Python Booleans
- Booleans are either
TrueorFalse. - Certain empty values evaluate to
False, all else toTrue.
Input and Type Conversion
- Use
input()for user input; typically returns strings. - Type conversion is necessary when performing arithmetic operations involving different types.
String Handling in Python
- Single (
') and double (") quotes can be used for strings but must match. - Multi-line strings can be created with triple quotes.
- String indexing allows accessing characters; negative indices count from the end.
String Methods
- Common methods include:
-
upper(),lower(),strip(),replace(), andsplit().
-
- String formatting can employ
format()method for dynamic placeholder text.
Python Operators
- Operators in Python include:
- Arithmetic, Bitwise, Assignment, Comparison, Logical, Identity, and Membership operators.
Arithmetic Operators
- Used for mathematical calculations:
+,-,*,/,%,**, and//.
Bitwise and Assignment Operators
- Bitwise operators manipulate binary values:
&,|,^,~. - Assignment operators modify variable values:
=,+=,-=, etc.
Summary
- Understanding variables, data types, and operators sets the foundation for programming in Python.
- Correctly applying syntax and coding conventions enhances code clarity and functionality.
