PYTHON MODULE

Group of functions, classes, variables

What is Python Module
 A Module is a file containing Python definitions
(docstrings , functions, variables, classes and
)
statements.
 Act of partitioning a program into individual
components(modules) is called modularity. A module is a
separate unit in itself.
🞑 It reduces its complexity to some degree
🞑 It creates numbersof well-defined, documentedboundaries
within program.
🞑 Its contents can be reused in other program, without having
to rewrite or recreate them.
Structure of Python module
 A python module is simply a normal python file(.py)
and contains functions, constantsand other elements.
 Python module may contains following objects:
docstring Triple quoted comments. Useful for documentation
purpose
Variables For storing values
and
constants
Classes To create blueprint of any object
Objects Object is an instance of class. It represent class in real world
Statements Instruction
Functions Group of statements

Importing Python modules
 To import entire module
◼ import <module name>
◼ Example: import math

 Toimport specific function/object from module:

◼ from <module_name>import <function_name>
◼ Example: from math import sqrt

 import * : can be used to import all namesfrom

module into current calling module
Accessingfunction/constant of imported module

 To use function/constant/variable of imported module

we have to specify module name and function name
separated by dot(.). This format is known as dot
notation.
◼ <module_name>.<function_name>
◼ Example: print(math.sqrt(25))
 How ever if only particular function is imported using
from then module name before function name is not
required. We will se examples with next slides.
Types of Modules
 There are various in-built module in python, we will
discuss few of them
🞑 Math module
🞑 Random module

🞑 Statistical module
Math module
 This module provides variousfunction to
perform arithmetic operations.
 Example of functions in math modules are:
sqrt ceil floor pow
fabs sin cos tan
 Example of variablesin math modules are:
🞑 pi
🞑 e
Math module functions
 sqrt(x) : this function returns the square root of
number(x). module name is
required before
function name here

 pow(x,y) : this function returnsthe (x)y

module name is not
required before
function name here

 ceil (x) : this function return the x rounded to next

integer.
Math module functions
 floor(x) : this function returns the x rounded to
previous integer.
 fabs(x) : this function returns absolute value of float x.
absolute value means number without any sign

 sin (x) : it return sine of x (measured in radian)

Math module functions
 cos(x) : it return cosine of x (measured in radian)

 tan(x) : it return tangent of x (measured in radian)

 pi : returnthe constant value of pi (22/7)

 e : return the constant value of constant e

Using Random Module
 Python has a module namely random that provides
random – number generators. Random number
means any number generated within the given
range.
 To generate random number in Python we have to
import random module
 2 most common method to generate random number
in python are :
◼ random() function
◼ randint(a,b) function
random() function
 It isfloating point random numbergenerator
between 0.0 to 1.0. here lower limit is inclusive
where as upper limit is less than 1.0.
 0<=N<1
 Examples:

Output is lessthan 1
random() function
 Togenerate random number between given range
of values using random(), the following format
should be used:
🞑 Lower_range + random() * (upper_range-lower_range)
🞑 For example to generate number between 10 to 50:
◼ 10 + random() * (40)
randint() function
 Another way to generate random number is
randint() function, but it generate integer numbers.
 Both the given range values are inclusive i.e. if
we generate randomnumber as :
🞑 randint(20,70)
◼ In above example random numberbetween 20 to 70 will
be taken. (including 20 and 70 also)

Just a Minute…
 Give the following python code, whichisrepeated
four times. What could be the possible set of
output(s) out of four sets (ddd is any combination of
digits)
import random
print(15 + random.random()*5)
a) b) c) d)
17.ddd 15.ddd 14.ddd 15.ddd
19.ddd 17.ddd 16.ddd 15.ddd
20.ddd 19.ddd 18.ddd 15.ddd
15.ddd 18.ddd 20.ddd 15.ddd
Just a Minute…
 What could be the minimumpossible and maximum
possible numbers by following code
import random
print(random.randint(3,10)-3)
 In a school fest, three randomly chosen students out
of 100 students (having roll number 1 -100) have to
present the bouquet to the guests. Help the school
authorities choose three students randomly
Just a Minute…
Just a Minute…
Look at the following Python code and find the possible output(s) from the
options (i) to (iv) following it. Also, write the maximum and the minimum values
that can be assigned to the variable PICKER.
Note:
‐ Assumeall the required header files are already being included in the code.
‐ The function randint()generates an integer between 1 to n
import random
PICKER=1+random.randint(0,2)
COLOR=[”BLUE”,”PINK”,”GREEN”,”RED”]
for I in range(1,PICKER+1):
for j in range(I+1):
print(COLOR[j],end=‘’)
print()
What are the possible outcome(s) executed from the following
code? Also specify the maximum and minimum values that
can be assigned to variable PICK

randrange() function
 This function is also used to generate
random number within given range.
 Syntax
🞑 randrange(start,stop,step)
It will generate random
number between 5 to 14

random output between 5 to 14, may vary

randrange() function

It will generate
random number
between 1 to 29 with
stepping of 2 i.e. it
will generate number
with gap of 2 i.e.
1,3,5,7 and so on

Statistical Module
 This module provides functions for calculating
mathematical statistics of numeric (Real-valued)
data.
 We will deal with 3 basic function under this module
🞑 Mean
🞑 Median
🞑 mode
Mean
 The mean isthe average of all numbers and is
sometimes called the arithmeticmean.

55, is the average of all numbersin the list

Median
 The median isthe middle number in a group of
numbers.
With odd number of
elements it will simply
return the middle
position value

With even number of

elements, it will return
the average of value
at mid + mid-1 i.e.
(50+60)/2 = 55.0
Mode
 The mode is the number that occurs most often within
a set of numbers i.e. most commondata in list.

Here, 10 occurs
mostin the list.
