Introduction to Programming
with Python

The aim of this lab is to familiar students with environment and basic command
of Python.

Objectives: After completing this lab the students will be able

 To explain the Python programming environment
 To print any message on the screen and get input from user by using Print and Input commands.
 To create variable and store values in variables and perform basic arithmetic operations on them.
 To repeat a statement by using for loop
 To import a library in Python.

Programming basics
 Code or Source Code: The sequence of instructions in a program.
 Syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that can be used in a particular
programming language.
 Output: The messages printed to the user by a program.
 Console: The text box onto which output is printed.
 Some source code editor’s pop up the console as an external window, and others
contain their own console window.
Compiling and interpreting
 Many languages require you to compile (translate) your program into a form that the
machine understands.
 Python is instead directly interpreted into machine instructions.

Print
 Print: Produces text output on the console.
 Syntax:
Print "Message"
Print Expression
 Prints the given text message or expression value on the console, and moves the cursor
down to the next line.
Print Item1, Item2, ..., ItemN
 Prints several messages and/or expressions on the same line.
 Examples:
Print "Hello, world!"
age = 45
Print "You have", 65 - age, "years until retirement"
Output:
Hello, world!
You have 20 years until retirement
Expressions
 Expression: A data value or set of operations to compute a value.
Examples: 1+4*3
42
 Arithmetic operators we will use:
+-*/ addition, subtraction/negation, multiplication, division
% modulus, a.k.a. remainder
** Exponentiation
 Precedence: Order in which operations are computed.
* / % ** have a higher precedence than + -
1 + 3 * 4 is 13
 Parentheses can be used to force a certain order of evaluation.
(1 + 3) * 4 is 16
Task # 01: Write a program in Python language of basic calculator that can perform basic
arithmetic operations.

Math commands
 Python has useful commands for performing calculations.

Command name Description

abs(value) absolute value

ceil(value) rounds up

cos(value) cosine, in radians

floor(value) rounds down

log(value) logarithm, base e

log10(value) logarithm, base 10

max(value1, value2) larger of two values

min(value1, value2) smaller of two values

round(value) nearest whole number

 sin(value) sine, in radians

sqrt(value) square root

 To use many of these commands, you must write the following at the top of your
Python program:
from math import *

Variables
 Variable: A named piece of memory that can store a value.
 Usage:
Compute an expression's result,
Store that result into a variable,
And use that variable later in the program.
 Assignment statement: Stores a value into a variable.
 Syntax:
Name = value
 Examples: x=5
gpa = 3.14
X 5 gpa 3.14
 A variable that has been given a value can be used in expressions. x + 4 is 9
Task # 02:
Write a program in Python programming of a2+2ab+b2.

Task # 03:
Write a program in Python of showing students marks of five subjects and their percentage.

Task# 04:
Write a program in Python to show Average of five values.

Input
input : Reads a number from user input.
You can assign (store) the result of input into a variable.

Example:
age = input("How old are you? ")
print "Your age is", age
print "You have", 65 - age, "years until retirement"
Output:
How old are you? 53
Your age is 53
You have 12 years until retirement
Task# 05: Write a Python program that prompts the user for his subject’s marks and finally report
his subject marks in PGR format with percentage.

The for loop

 For loop: Repeats a set of statements over a group of values.
 Syntax:
For variableName in groupOfValues:
statements
 We indent the statements to be repeated with tabs or spaces.
 variableName gives a name to each value, so you can refer to it in the
statements.
 groupOfValues can be a range of integers, specified with the range
function.
 Example:
for x in range(1, 6):
print x

Task# 06:
Write a Python program that can print a Table of 5 by using For Loop.

Task# 07:
Write a Python program that can take a number from user and print its Table.

Task# 08:
Write a Python program that can take three different numbers from user and print their tables on
screen.

Task# 09:
Write a Python program that can take two values from user and then show their Addition,
Subtraction, Division and Multiplication on screen.

Task# 10:
Write a Python program that can show Square of numbers from 1 to 100.

Task# 11:
Write a Python program that can show Even numbers from 1 to 100.

Task# 12:
Write a Python program that can show Odd number up to 100.
