APP DEV (WEEK 1 PYTHON MATH) PYTHON

• Python has a set of built-in math functions, including an extensive

MATH (OPERATOR) IN PYTHON
math module, that allows you to perform mathematical task on
numbers.

BUILT-IN MATH FUNCTIONS

• The min() and max() functions can be used to find the lowest or
highest value in an iterable:

• The abs() function returns the absolute(positive) value of the

specified number:

• The pow(x,y) function returns the value of x to the power of y(xy)

THE MATH MODULE

• Python has also a built-in module called math, which extends the list
of mathematical functions
• To use it, you must import the math module: PYTHON MATH MODULE

• Python has a built-in module that you can use for mathematical
tasks.
• The math module has a set of methods and constants.
• When you have imported the math module, you can start using
methods and constants of the module.
• The math,sqrt() method for example, returns the square root of a
number

• The math.ceil() method rounds a number upwards to its nearest

integer, and the math.floor() method rounds a number downwards
to its nearest integer, and return the result:

• The math.pi constant, return the value of PI(3.14..)

APP DEV (WEEK 2 PYTHON CONDITIONS) • In this example we used two variables, a and b, which are used as
part of the if statement to test whether b is greater than a. As a is
LOOPS AND CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS 33 , and b is 200, we know that 200 is greater than 33, and so we
print to screen that “b is greater than a”.

INDENTATION

• Python relies on indentation (whitespace at the beginning of a line)

to define scope in the code. Other programming languages often
use curly-brackets for this purpose.

ELIF
PYTHON IF… ELSE
• The elif keyword is python way of using “if previous conditions were
PYTHON CONDITIONS AND IF STATEMENTS not true, then try this conditions”.
• Python supports the usual logical conditions from mathematics:
o Equals: a == b
o Not Equals: a != b
o Less than: a < b
o Less than or equal to: a <= b
o Greater than: a > b
o Greater than or equal to: a >= b
• These conditions can be used in several ways, most commonly in ”IF
STATEMENT” and LOOPS. • In this example a is equal to b, so the first conditions is not true, but
the elif condition is true, so we print to screen that “a and b are
• An “IF STATEMENT” is written by using the if keyword
equal”.
ELSE SHORT HAND IF…ELSE

• The else keyword catches anything which isn’t caught the preceding • If you have only one statement to execute, one for if, and one for
conditions. else, you can put it all on the same line:

• In this example a is greater than b, so the first conditions is not true, • You can also have multiple else statement on the same line:
also the elif condition is not true, so we go to the else condition and
print to screen that “a is greater than b”
• You can also have an else without the elif:

AND

• The and keyword is a logical operator, and is used to combine

conditional statements:

SHORT HAND IF

• If you have only one statement to execute, you can put it on the
same line as the if statement.
OR

• The or keyword is a logical operator and is used to combine logical

statements:

NESTED IF

• You can have if statement insides if statement, this called nested if

statement

THE PASS STATEMENT

• If statement cannot be empty, but if you for some reason have an if

statement with no content, put in the pass statement to avoid
getting an error.
APP DEV (WEEK 3 PYTHON LOOPS)

• The while loop requires relevant variables to be ready, in this

example we need to define an indexing variable, i, which we set to 1

THE BREAK STATEMENT

• With the break statement we can stop the loop even if the while
conditions is true

THE CONTINUE STATEMENT

PYTHON WHILE LOOPS
• With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration, and
PYTHON LOOPS continue with the next:

• Python has two primitive loop commands:

o While loops
o For loops

THE WHILE LOOP

• With the while loop we can execute a set of statements as long as a

condition is true THE ELSE STATEMENT

• With the else statement we can run a block of code once when the
condition no longer is true:
PYTHON FOR LOOPS

PYTHON FOR LOOPS

• A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence (that is either a list, a
tuple, a dictionary, a set, or a string)
• This is less like the for keyword in other programming languages, THE CONTINUE STATEMENT
and works more like an iterator method as found in other object- • With the continue statement we can stop the current iteration of
oriented programming languages. the loop, and continue with the next:
• With the for loop we can execute a set of statement, once for each
item in a list, tuple, set, etc.

• The for loop does not require an indexing variable to set beforehand THE RANGE() FUNCTION

LOOPING THROUGH A STRING • The loop through a set of code a specified number of times, we can
use the range() function,
• Even strings are iterable objects, the contain a sequence of • The range() function returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0
characters: by default, and increments by 1 (by default), and ends at a specified
number.

THE BREAK STATEMENT

• With the break statement we can stop the loop before it has looped
all the items:
ELSE IN FOR LOOP

• The else keyword in a for loop specifies a block of code to be

executed when the loop is finishes:

NESTED LOOPS

• A nested loop is a loop inside the loop

• The “inner loop” will be executed one time for each iteration of the
“outer loop”:

THE PASS STATEMENT

• For loops cannot be empty but if you for some reason have a for
loop with no content, put in the pass statement to avoid getting an
error.
