Study Notes
Python Programming Fundamentals
- Python is an easy-to-learn, powerful programming language used for web development, data analysis, AI, and automation.
- Install Python from python.org and an IDE (like Visual Studio Code or Jupyter Notebook)
Python Variables and Data Types
- Variables store data (e.g.,
x = 5,name = "Alice"). - Data types include:
-
int(integers, e.g., 10) -
float(decimal numbers, e.g., 3.14) -
str(strings, e.g., "Hello") -
bool(Boolean values, True or False)
-
Python Operators
-
Arithmetic:
-
+(addition) -
-(subtraction) -
*(multiplication) -
/(division) -
%(modulus)
-
-
Comparison:
-
==(equal to) -
!=(not equal to) -
>(greater than) -
<(less than) -
>=(greater than or equal to) -
<=(less than or equal to)
-
-
Logical:
-
and -
or -
not
-
Control Flow (if-else, loops)
- if-else statements control the flow based on conditions (e.g., if age >= 18: print("Adult")).
-
Loops:
-
forloops iterate over a sequence (e.g.,for i in range(5): print(i)). -
whileloops execute as long as a condition holds true (e.g.,count = 0; while count < 5: print(count); count += 1).
-
Python Functions
- Define functions using
def(e.g.,def greet(name): ...) for modular code. - Functions can take parameters (inputs) and return values.
Python Lists
- Lists are ordered collections of items.
- Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] - Access items by index (
fruits[1] = banana). - Iterate through lists using a
forloop
- Example:
Python Dictionaries
- Dictionaries store key-value pairs.
- Example:
student = {"name": "Alice", "age":20} - Access values by key (
student["name"]).
- Example:
Python File Handling
- Read from and write to files using the
with open(...)statement (e.g., open a file in read mode, write something to it and close it).
Python Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Create classes and objects to structure code.
- Example:
class Person:...
Python Practice Programs (Examples)
-
Simple Calculator:
- Takes two numbers and an operation as input.
- Calculates results using the specified operator
-
FizzBuzz:
- Iterates through the numbers 1-100 and prints "Fizz", "Buzz", or "FizzBuzz" according to divisibility rules.
