CH 3 2 Slides Edx

This document introduces Python methods and built-in functions for data science. It discusses how everything in Python is an object that can have methods associated with its type. It provides examples of using common list, string, and float methods like index(), capitalize(), and append(). The document demonstrates how methods allow calling functions on objects, unlike built-in functions that operate independently.

Back 2 Basics type examples of methods

In [1]: sister = "liz" Object str capitalize()


replace()

In [2]: height = 1.73 Object float bit_length()


conjugate()

In [3]: fam = ["liz", 1.73, "emma", 1.68, Object list index()


"mom", 1.71, "dad", 1.89] count()

Methods: Functions that belong to objects

list methods
In [4]: fam
Out[4]: ['liz', 1.73, 'emma', 1.68, 'mom', 1.71, 'dad', 1.89]

In [5]: fam.index("mom")
"Call method index() on fam"
Out[5]: 4

In [6]: fam.count(1.73)
Out[6]: 1

str methods
In [7]: sister
Out[7]: 'liz'

In [8]: sister.capitalize()
Out[8]: 'Liz'

In [9]: sister.replace("z", "sa")


Out[9]: 'lisa'

Methods
Everything = object
Object have methods associated, depending on type

In [10]: sister.replace("z", "sa")


Out[10]: 'lisa'

In [11]: fam.replace("mom", "mommy")


AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace'

In [12]: sister.index("z")
Out[12]: 2

In [13]: fam.index("mom")
Out[13]: 4
