Study Notes
Input and Output
- The program prompts the user to enter an integer for seconds, converts the input into minutes and seconds, and displays the result.
- Example: 150 seconds is converted to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
Note
- Calculations involving floating-point numbers are approximated because these numbers are not stored with complete accuracy.
- Integers are stored precisely, and calculations with integers yield a precise integer result.
Overflow/Underflow
- Overflow occurs when a variable is assigned a value that is too large to be stored, causing an OverflowError.
- Underflow occurs when a floating-point number is too small to be stored, and Python approximates it to zero.
Scientific Notation
- Floating-point literals can be specified in scientific notation.
IPO (Input, Process, and Output)
- Most programs perform three steps: Input, Process, and Output.
- Input is to receive input from the user, Process is to produce results using the input, and Output is to display the results.
Input Function
- The input function is used to ask the user to input a value, and then returns the value entered as a string.
- Example:
variable = input("Enter a value: ")
Caution
- It matters if a numeric value is being stored as a string, not a number.
- Example:
countis not defined, and the code is wrong.
Case-Sensitivity
- Python is case-sensitive, meaning
interestRateandinterestrateare two different variables.
Simultaneous Assignment
- Python supports simultaneous assignment, which evaluates all expressions on the right and assigns them to the corresponding variables on the left simultaneously.
- Example:
x, y, name = 15, 20.5, "Ahmad Khoj"
Swapping Variable Values
- Simultaneous assignment can be used to swap variable values, simplifying the task.
- Example:
x, y = y, x
Obtaining Multiple Input in One Statement
- Simultaneous assignment can be used to obtain multiple input in one statement.
- Example:
number1, number2, number3 = eval(input("Enter three numbers separated by commas: "))
Check Point
- The average of three numbers can be computed using simultaneous assignment and input.
- Example:
Enter three numbers separated by commas: 1, 2, 3returnsThe average of 1 2 3 is 2.0
Named Constants
- A named constant is an identifier that represents a permanent value, and is typically named using all uppercase letters and underscores.
- Example:
PI = 3.14159
Numeric Data Types
- A number with a decimal point is a float, even if its fractional part is 0.
- Example:
1.0is a float, but1is an integer.
How to Evaluate an Expression
- Expressions are evaluated following the order of operations (parentheses, multiplication, addition, and subtraction).
- Example:
3 + 4 * 4 + 5 * (4 + 3) - 1is evaluated to53.
Augmented Assignment Operators
- Augmented assignment operators (e.g.
+=,-=,*=) perform an operation and assign the result to the variable. - Note: There are no spaces in the augmented assignment operators.
Type Conversions
- Python automatically converts an integer to a float value when involved in a binary operation with a float.
- Example:
3 * 4.5is the same as3.0 * 4.5
