Study Notes
Python Programming Concepts
- An ordered set of instructions for a computer is an algorithm, pseudocode, or program.
- Computer languages operate using machine language or binary language.
- Code written in a high-level language like Python converts to machine instructions using an interpreter or compiler.
- Python uses an interpreter to convert instructions.
- Python is open-source, based on an ABC language, and created by Guido Van Rossum.
- Python is case-sensitive.
- Keywords in Python are written in lowercase.
- Python uses the
ctrl+rshort cut to run programs. - Python is not proprietary software.
- Python uses brackets for blocks.
- Python's interactive mode executes statements immediately.
- The default file extension for Python scripts is
.py. - Keywords, identifiers, variables, and comments are parts of Python code.
- Comments are ignored by the interpreter.
- Single line comments begin with
#. - Multi-line comments use triple quotes.
- Data types like strings, integers, floats, and dictionaries exist.
- Sequence data types include strings and characters.
- Identifiers start with letters or underscores but can't use special characters or spaces.
- Punctuation, literals, and keywords are Python tokens.
- Literals have fixed values, whereas identifiers aren't fixed.
- Variables hold values like integers or floats.
- Operators perform mathematical or logical operations.
- Operators utilize operands for value manipulation.
- Python uses integers, complex numbers, and booleans.
- Python's input() function handles user input, treating it as a string.
