Python Notes

Introduction
 Python is a general purpose high level programminglanguage.

 Python was developed by Guido Van Rossam in 1989 while working atNational
Research Institute atNetherlands.

 ButofficiallyPythonwasmadeavailabletopublicin1991.TheofficialDateof Birthfor
Python is : Feb 20th1991.

 Python is recommended as first programming language forbeginners.

Eg1: To print Helloworld:

Java:

1) public class HelloWorld

2){
3) p s v main(String[]args)
4) {
5) SOP("Hello world");
6) }
7)}

C:

1) #include<stdio.h>
2) void main()
3) {
4) print("Helloworld");
5) }

Python:

print("Hello World")
[Type here]

Eg2: To print the sum of 2 numbers

Java:

1) public class Add

2) {
3) public static void main(String[] args)
4) {
5) int a,b;
6) a =10;
7) b=20;
8) System.out.println("The Sum:"+(a+b));
9) }
10) }

C:

1) #include <stdio.h>
2)
3) void main()
4){
5) int a,b;
6) a=10;
7) b=20;
8) printf("The Sum:%d",(a+b));
9) }

Python:

1)a=10
2)b=20
3) print("The Sum:",(a+b))

The name Python was selected from the TV Show

"The Complete
Monty
Python's
Circus", which was broadcasted in BBC from 1969 to 1974.

Guido developed Python language by taking almost all programming features from
different languages

1. Functional Programming Features fromC

2. Object Oriented Programming Features fromC++
3. Scripting Language Features from Perl and ShellScript
[Type here]

4. Modular Programming Features fromModula-3

Most of syntax in Python Derived from C and ABC languages.

Where we can use Python:

We can use everywhere. The most common important application areas are

1. For developing DesktopApplications

2. For developing webApplications
3. For developing databaseApplications
4. For NetworkProgramming
5. For developinggames
6. For Data AnalysisApplications
7. For MachineLearning
8. For developing Artificial IntelligenceApplications
9. ForIOT
...

Note:

Internally Google and Youtube use Python coding

NASA and Nework Stock Exchange Applications developed by Python.
Top Software companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Yahoo using Python.

Features of Python:
1. Simple and easy tolearn:

Python is a simple programming language. When we read Python program,we can feel like
reading english statements.
The syntaxes are very simple and only 30+ kerywords are available.
When compared with other languages, we can write programs with very less number of
lines. Hence more readability and simplicity.
We can reduce development and cost of the project.

2. Freeware and OpenSource:

We can use Python software without any licence and it is freeware.

Its source code is open,so that we can we can customize based on our requirement.

Eg: Jython is customized version of Python to work with Java Applications.

[Type here]

3. High Level Programminglanguage:

Python is high level programming language and hence it is programmer friendly language.
Being a programmer we are not required to concentrate low level activities like memory
management and security etc..

4. PlatformIndependent:

Once we write a Python program,it can run on any platform without rewriting once again.
Internally PVM is responsible to convert into machine understandable form.

5. Portability:

Python programs are portable. ie we can migrate from one platform to another platform
very easily. Python programs will provide same results on any paltform.

6. DynamicallyTyped:

In Python we are not required to declare type for variables. Whenever we are assigning
the value, based on value, type will be allocated automatically.Hence Python is considered
as dynamically typed language.

But Java, C etc are Statically Typed Languages b'z we have to provide type at the beginning
only.

This dynamic typing nature will provide more flexibility to the programmer.

7. Both Procedure Oriented and ObjectOriented:

Python language supports both Procedure oriented (like C, pascal etc) and object oriented
(like C++,Java) features. Hence we can get benefits of both like security and reusability etc

8. Interpreted:

We are not required to compile Python programs explcitly. Internally Python interpreter
will take care that compilation.

If compilation fails interpreter raised syntax errors. Once compilation success then PVM
(Python Virtual Machine) is responsible to execute.

9. Extensible:

We can use other language programs in Python.

The main advantages of this approach are:
[Type here]

1. We can use already existing legacy non-Pythoncode

2. We can improve performance of theapplication

10. Embedded:

We can use Python programs in any other language programs.

i.e we can embedd Python programs anywhere.

11. ExtensiveLibrary:

Python has a rich inbuilt library.

Being a programmer we can use this library directly and we are not responsible to
implement the functionality.

etc...

Limitations of Python:
1. Performance wise not up to the mark b'z it is interpretedlanguage.
2. Not using for mobileApplications

Flavors of Python:

1. CPython:
It is the standard flavor of Python. It can be used to work with C lanugage Applications

2. Jython orJPython:
It is for Java Applications. It can run on JVM

3. IronPython:
It is for C#.Net platform

4. PyPy:
The main advantage of PyPy is performance will be improved because JIT compiler is
available inside PVM.

5. RubyPython
For Ruby Platforms

6. AnacondaPython
It is specially designed for handling large volume of data processing.

Python Versions:

Python 1.0V introduced in Jan 1994

Python 2.0V introduced in October 2000
Python 3.0V introduced in December 2008

Note: Python 3 won't provide backward compatibility to Python2

i.e there is no guarantee that Python2 programs will run in Python3.

Current versions

Python3.6.1 Python2.7.13
[Type here]

Identifiers
A name in Python program is called identifier.
It can be class name or function name or module name or variable name.

a = 10

Rules to define identifiers in Python:

1. The only allowed characters in Python are

 alphabet symbols(either lower case or uppercase)

 digits(0 to9)
 underscoresymbol(_)

By mistake if we are using any other symbol like $ then we will get syntax error.

 cash = 10√
 ca$h =20

2. Identifier should not starts withdigit

 123total 
 total123 √

3. Identifiers are case sensitive. Of course Python language is case sensitivelanguage.

 total=10
 TOTAL=999
 print(total)#10
 print(TOTAL)#999
[Type here]

Identifier:
1. Alphabet Symbols (Either Upper case OR Lowercase)

2. If Identifier is start with Underscore (_) then it indicates it isprivate.

3. Identifier should not start withDigits.

4. Identifiers are casesensitive.

5. We cannot use reserved words asidentifiers

Eg: def=10

6. There is no length limit for Python identifiers. But not recommended to use toolengthy
identifiers.

7. Dollor ($) Symbol is not allowed inPython.

Q. Which of the following are valid Python identifiers?

1) 123total 
2) total123√
3) java2share √
4) ca$h
5) _abc_abc_√
6) def
7) if

Note:

1. If identifier starts with _ symbol then it indicates that it isprivate

2. If identifier starts with (two under score symbols) indicating that strongly private
identifier.
3.If the identifier starts and ends with two underscore symbols then theidentifier is
language defined special name,which is also known as magicmethods.

Eg: add
[Type here]

Reserved Words
In Python some words are reserved to represent some meaning or functionality. Such type
of words are called Reserved words.

There are 33 reserved words available in Python.

 True,False,None
 and, or,not,is
 if,elif,else
 while,for,break,continue,return,in,yield
 try,except,finally,raise,assert
 import,from,as,class,def,pass,global,nonlocal,lambda,del,with

Note:
1. All Reserved words in Python contain only alphabetsymbols.

2. Except the following 3 reserved words, all contain only lower case alphabetsymbols.

 True
 False
 None

Eg: a= true
a=True√

>>> import keyword

>>> keyword.kwlist
['False', 'None', 'True', 'and', 'as', 'assert', 'break', 'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del', 'elif', 'else',
'except', 'finally', 'for', 'from', 'global', 'if', 'import', 'in', 'is', 'lambda', 'nonlocal', 'not', 'or',
'pass', 'raise', 'return', 'try', 'while', 'with', 'yield']
[Type here]

Data Types
Data Type represent the type of data present inside a variable.
In Python we are not required to specify the type explicitly. Based on value provided,the
type will be assigned automatically.Hence Python is Dynamically Typed Language.

Python contains the following inbuilt data types

1. int
2. float
3.complex
4.bool
5.str
6.bytes
7.bytearray
8.range
9.list
10.tuple
11.set
12.frozenset
13.dict
14.None

10
a =10 a
a =20
20

a
a =10
b =10 10
b

Note: Python contains several inbuilt functions

1.type()
to check the type of variable

2. id()
to get address of object
[Type here]

3. print()
to print the value

In Python everything is object

int data type:

We can use int data type to represent whole numbers (integral values)
Eg:
a=10
type(a) #int

Note:
In Python2 we have long data type to represent very large integral values.
But in Python3 there is no long type explicitly and we can represent long values also by
using int type only.

We can represent int values in the following ways

1. Decimalform
2. Binaryform
3. Octalform
4. Hexa decimalform

1. Decimalform(base-10):

It is the default number system in Python

The allowed digits are: 0 to 9
Eg: a =10

2. Binaryform(Base-2):

The allowed digits are : 0 & 1

Literal value should be prefixed with 0b or 0B

Eg: a = 0B1111
a =0B123
a=b111

3. OctalForm(Base-8):

The allowed digits are : 0 to 7

Literal value should be prefixed with 0o or 0O.
[Type here]

Eg: a=0o123
a=0o786

4. Hexa DecimalForm(Base-16):

The allowed digits are : 0 to 9, a-f (both lower and upper cases are allowed)
Literal value should be prefixed with 0x or 0X

Eg:
a =0XFACE
a=0XBeef
a =0XBeer

Note: Being a programmer we can specify literal values in decimal, binary, octal and hexa
decimal forms. But PVM will always provide values only in decimal form.

a=10
b=0o10
c=0X10
d=0B10
print(a)10
print(b)8
print(c)16
print(d)2

Base Conversions
Python provide the following in-built functions for base conversions

1. bin():

We can use bin() to convert from any base to binary

Eg:

1) >>>bin(15)
2) '0b1111'
3) >>>bin(0o11)
4) '0b1001'
5) >>>bin(0X10)
6) '0b10000'

2. oct():

We can use oct() to convert from any base to octal

[Type here]

Eg:

1) >>> oct(10)
2) '0o12'
3) >>> oct(0B1111)
4) '0o17'
5) >>> oct(0X123)
6) '0o443'

3. hex():

We can use hex() to convert from any base to hexa decimal

Eg:

1) >>> hex(100)
2) '0x64'
3) >>> hex(0B111111)
4) '0x3f'
5) >>> hex(0o12345)
6) '0x14e5'

float data type:

We can use float data type to represent floating point values (decimal values)

Eg: f=1.234
type(f)float

We can also represent floating point values by using exponential form (scientific notation)

Eg: f=1.2e3
print(f)1200.0
instead of 'e' we can use 'E'

The main advantage of exponential form is we can represent big values in less memory.

***Note:
We can represent int values in decimal, binary, octal and hexa decimal forms. But we can
represent float values only by using decimal form.

Eg:

1) >>> f=0B11.01
2) File "<stdin>", line1
3) f=0B11.01
[Type here]

4) ^
5) SyntaxError: invalid syntax
6)
7) >>> f=0o123.456
8) SyntaxError: invalidsyntax
9)
10) >>> f=0X123.456
11) SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Complex Data Type:

A complex number is of the form

j2 = -1
a + bj
j=
RealPart ImaginaryPart

a and b contain intergers or floating point values

Eg:
3+5j
10+5.5j
0.5+0.1j

In the real part if we use int value then we can specify that either by decimal,octal,binary
or hexa decimal form.
But imaginary part should be specified only by using decimal form.

1) >>> a=0B11+5j
2) >>> a
3) (3+5j)
4) >>> a=3+0B11j
5) SyntaxError: invalidsyntax

Even we can perform operations on complex type values.

1) >>> a=10+1.5j
2) >>> b=20+2.5j
3) >>> c=a+b
4) >>>print(c)
5) (30+4j)
6) >>> type(c)
7) <class 'complex'>
[Type here]

Note: Complex data type has some inbuilt attributes to retrieve the real part and
imaginary part

c=10.5+3.6j

c.real==>10.5
c.imag==>3.6

We can use complex type generally in scientific Applications and electrical engineering
Applications.

4. bool datatype:

We can use this data type to represent boolean values.

The only allowed values for this data type are:
True and False

Internally Python represents True as 1 and False as 0

b=True
type(b) =>bool

Eg:
a=10
b=20
c=a<b
print(c)==>True

True+True==>2
True-False==>1

str type:
str represents String data type.

A String is a sequence of characters enclosed within single quotes or double quotes.

s1='venkat'
s1="venkat"

By using single quotes or double quotes we cannot represent multi line string literals.

s1="venkat
[Type here]

soft"

For this requirement we should go for triplesinglequotes(''')ortripledoublequotes(""")

s1='''venkat
soft'''

We can also use triple quotes to use single quote or double quote in our String.

''' This is " character'''

' This is " Character '
We can embed one string in another string

'''This "Python class very helpful" for java students'''

Slicing of Strings:
slice means a piece
[ ] operator is called slice operator,which can be used to retrieve parts of String.
In Python Strings follows zero based index.
The index can be either +ve or -ve.
+ve index means forward direction from Left to Right
-ve index means backward direction from Right to Left

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1
v e n k Y
0 1 2 3 4

1) >>> s="venky"
2) >>> s[0]
3) 'v'
4) >>> s[1]
5) 'e'
6) >>> s[-1]
7) 'y'
8) >>> s[40]

IndexError: string index out of range

[Type here]

1) >>> s[1:40]
2) 'enky'
3) >>> s[1:]
4) 'enky'
5) >>> s[:4]
6) 'venk'
7) >>> s[:]
8) 'venky'
9) >>>
10)
11)
12) >>> s*3
13) 'venkyvenkyvenky'
14)
15) >>> len(s)
16) 5

Note:
1. In Python the following data types are considered as Fundamental Datatypes

 int
 float
 complex
 bool
 str

2. In Python,we can represent char values also by using str type and explicitly char type
is not available.

Eg:

1) >>> c='a'
2) >>> type(c)
3) <class 'str'>

3. long Data Type is available in Python2 but not in Python3. In Python3 long values also
we can represent by using int typeonly.

4. In Python we can present char Value also by using st rType and explicitly char Type
is not available.
[Type here]

Type Casting
We can convert one type value to another type. This conversion is called Type casting or
Type conversion.
The following are various inbuilt functions for type casting.

1. int()
2. float()
3. complex()
4. bool()
5. str()

1.int():

We can use this function to convert values from other types to int

Eg:

1) >>> int(123.987)
2) 123
3) >>> int(10+5j)
4) TypeError: can't convert complex to int
5) >>> int(True)
6) 1
7) >>> int(False)
8) 0
9) >>> int("10")
10) 10
11) >>> int("10.5")
12) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '10.5'
13) >>> int("ten")
14) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'ten'
15) >>> int("0B1111")
16) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0B1111'

Note:

1. We can convert from any type to int except complextype.

2. If we want to convert str type to int type,compulsary str should contain only integral
value and should be specified inbase-10
[Type here]

2. float():

We can use float() function to convert other type values to float type.

1) >>> float(10)
2) 10.0
3) >>> float(10+5j)
4) TypeError: can't convert complex to float
5) >>> float(True)
6) 1.0
7) >>> float(False)
8) 0.0
9) >>> float("10")
10) 10.0
11) >>> float("10.5")
12) 10.5
13) >>> float("ten")
14) ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'ten'
15) >>> float("0B1111")
16) ValueError: could not convert string to float: '0B1111'

Note:
1. We can convert any type value to float type except complextype.

2. Whenever we are trying to convert str type to float type compulsary str shouldbe
either integral or floating point literal and should be specified only inbase-10.

3. complex():

We can use complex() function to convert other types to complex type.

Form-1:complex(x)
We can use this function to convert x into complex number with real part x and imaginary
part 0.

Eg:

1) complex(10)==>10+0j
2) complex(10.5)===>10.5+0j
3) complex(True)==>1+0j
4) complex(False)==>0j
5) complex("10")==>10+0j
6) complex("10.5")==>10.5+0j
7) complex("ten")
8) ValueError: complex() arg is a malformed string
[Type here]

Form-2: complex(x,y)

We can use this method to convert x and y into complex number such that x will be real
part and y will be imaginary part.

Eg: complex(10,-2)==>10-2j
complex(True,False)==>1+0j

4. bool():

We can use this function to convert other type values to bool type.

Eg:

1) bool(0)==>False
2) bool(1)==>True
3) bool(10)===>True
4) bool(10.5)===>True
5) bool(0.178)==>True
6) bool(0.0)==>False
7) bool(10-2j)==>True
8) bool(0+1.5j)==>True
9) bool(0+0j)==>False
10) bool("True")==>True
11) bool("False")==>True
12) bool("")==>False
[Type here]

5. str():

We can use this method to convert other type values to str type

Eg:

1) >>> str(10)
2) '10'
3) >>> str(10.5)
4) '10.5'
5) >>> str(10+5j)
6) '(10+5j)'
7) >>> str(True)
8) 'True'

Fundamental Data Types vs Immutability:

All Fundamental Data types are immutable. i.e once we creates an object,we cannot
perform any changes in that object. If we are trying to change then with those changes a
new object will be created. This non-chageable behaviour is called immutability.
[Type here]

In Python if a new object is required, then PVM wont create object immediately. First it
will check is any object available with the required content or not. If available then
existing object will be reused. If it is not available then only a new object will be created.
The advantage of this approach is memory utilization and performance will be improved.

But the problem in this approach is,several references pointing to the same object,by
usingonereferenceifweareallowedtochangethecontentintheexistingobjectthen the
remaining references will be effected. To prevent this immutability concept isrequired.
According to this once creates an object we are not allowed to change content. If we are
trying to change with those changes a new object will be created.

Eg:

1) >>>a=10
2) >>> b=10
3) >>> a isb
4) True
5) >>>id(a)
6) 1572353952
7) >>>id(b)
8) 1572353952
9) >>>

>>>a=10 >>>a=10+5j >>>a=True >>>a='venkat'

>>>b=10 >>>b=10+5j >>>b=True >>>b='venkat'

>>> id(a) >>> a is b >>> a is b >>> a is b

1572353952 False True True

>>> id(b) >>> id(a) >>> id(a) >>> id(a)

1572353952 15980256 1572172624 16378848

>>> a is b >>> id(b) >>> id(b) >>> id(b)

True 15979944 1572172624 16378848

[Type here]

bytes Data Type:

bytes data type represens a group of byte numbers just like an array.

Eg:

1) x = [10,20,30,40]
2) b = bytes(x)
3) type(b)==>bytes
4) print(b[0])==> 10
5) print(b[-1])==> 40
6) >>>for i in b : print(i)
7)
8) 10
9) 20
10) 30
11) 40

Conclusion 1:

The only allowed values for byte data type are 0 to 256. By mistake if we are trying to
provide any other values then we will get value error.

Conclusion 2:

Once we creates bytes data type value, we cannot change its values,otherwise we will get
TypeError.

Eg:

1) >>> x=[10,20,30,40]
2) >>> b=bytes(x)
3) >>> b[0]=100
4) TypeError: 'bytes' object does not support item assignment

bytearray Data type:

bytearray is exactly same as bytes data type except that its elements can be modified.

Eg 1:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) b = bytearray(x)
3) for i in b : print(i)
4) 10
[Type here]

5) 20
6) 30
7) 40
8) b[0]=100
9) for i in b:print(i)
10) 100
11)20
12) 30
13)40

Eg 2:

1) >>> x =[10,256]
2) >>> b = bytearray(x)
3) ValueError: byte must be in range(0, 256)

list data type:

If we want to represent a group of values as a single entity where insertion order required
to preserve and duplicates are allowed then we should go for list data type.

1. insertion order ispreserved

2. heterogeneous objects areallowed
3. duplicates areallowed
4. Growable innature
5. values should be enclosed within squarebrackets.

Eg:

1) list=[10,10.5,'venkat',True,10]
2) print(list) #[10,10.5,'venkat',True,10]

Eg:

1) list=[10,20,30,40]
2) >>> list[0]
3) 10
4) >>> list[-1]
5) 40
6) >>> list[1:3]
7) [20, 30]
8) >>> list[0]=100
9) >>>for i in list:print(i)
10) ...
11) 100
12) 20
13) 30
[Type here]

14) 40

list is growable in nature. i.e based on our requirement we can increase or decrease the
size.

1) >>> list=[10,20,30]
2) >>> list.append("venkat")
3) >>> list
4) [10, 20, 30, 'venkat']
5) >>> list.remove(20)
6) >>> list
7) [10, 30, 'venkat']
8) >>> list2=list*2
9) >>> list2
10) [10, 30, 'venkat', 10, 30, 'venkat']

Note: An ordered, mutable, heterogenous collection of eleemnts is nothing but list, where
duplicates also allowed.

tuple data type:

tuple data type is exactly same as list data type except that it is immutable.i.e we cannot
chage values.

Tuple elements can be represented within parenthesis.

Eg:

1) t=(10,20,30,40)
2) type(t)
3) <class 'tuple'>
4) t[0]=100
5) TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
6) >>> t.append("venkat")
7) AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute'append'
8) >>> t.remove(10)
9) AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute'remove'

Note: tuple is the read only version of list

range Data Type:

range Data Type represents a sequence of numbers.
The elements present in range Data type are not modifiable. i.e range Data type is
immutable.

Form-1:range(10)
generate numbers from 0 to 9

Eg:
r=range(10)
for i in r:print(i) 0 to9

Form-2:range(10,20)

generate numbers from 10 to 19

r = range(10,20)
for i in r:print(i) 10 to19

Form-3:range(10,20,2)

2 means increment value

r = range(10,20,2)
for i in r:print(i) 10,12,14,16,18

We can access elements present in the range Data Type by using index.
r=range(10,20)
r[0]==>10
r[15]==>IndexError: range object index out of range

We cannot modify the values of range data type

Eg:
r[0]=100
TypeError: 'range' object does not support item assignment

We can create a list of values with range data type

Eg:

1) >>> l =list(range(10))
2) >>> l
3) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

set Data Type:

If we want to represent a group of values without duplicates where order is not important
then we should go for set Data Type.
[Type here]

1. insertion order is notpreserved

2. duplicates are notallowed
3. heterogeneous objects areallowed
4. index concept is notapplicable
5. It is mutablecollection
6. Growable in nature

Eg:

1) s={100,0,10,200,10,'venkat'}
2) s # {0, 100, 'venkat', 200,10}
3) s[0] ==>TypeError: 'set' object does not support indexing
4)
5) set is growable in nature, based on our requirement we can increase or decrease the size.
6)
7) >>> s.add(60)
8) >>> s
9) {0, 100, 'venkat', 200, 10, 60}
10) >>> s.remove(100)
11) >>> s
12) {0, 'venkat', 200, 10, 60}

frozenset Data Type:

It is exactly same as set except that it is immutable.
Hence we cannot use add or remove functions.

1) >>> s={10,20,30,40}
2) >>> fs=frozenset(s)
3) >>> type(fs)
4) <class 'frozenset'>
5) >>> fs
6) frozenset({40, 10, 20, 30})
7) >>>for i in fs:print(i)
8) ...
9) 40
10) 10
11)20
12) 30
13)
14) >>> fs.add(70)
15) AttributeError: 'frozenset' object has no attribute 'add'
16) >>> fs.remove(10)
17) AttributeError: 'frozenset' object has no attribute 'remove'
[Type here]

dict Data Type:

If we want to represent a group of values as key-value pairs then we should go for dict
data type.

Eg:
d={101:'venkat',102:'ravi',103:'shiva'}

Duplicate keys are not allowed but values can be duplicated. If we are trying to insert an
entry with duplicate key then old value will be replaced with new value.

Eg:

1. >>> d={101:'venkat',102:'ravi',103:'shiva'}
2. >>> d[101]='sunny'
3. >>> d
4. {101: 'sunny', 102: 'ravi', 103: 'shiva'}
5.
6. We can create empty dictionary as follows
7. d={ }
8. We can add key-value pairs as follows
9. d['a']='apple'
10. d['b']='banana'
11. print(d)

Note:dict is mutable and the order wont be preserved.

Note:

1. In general we can use bytes and bytearray data types to represent binaryinformation
like images,video filesetc
2. In Python2 long data type is available. But in Python3 it is not available and we can
represent long values also by using int typeonly.
3. In Python there is nochar data type. Hence we can represent char values also by using
strtype.

Summary of Datatypes in Python3

Datatype Description Is Immutable Example
Int We can use to represent the Immutable >>> a=10
whole/integral numbers >>>type(a)
<class'int'>
Float We can use to represent the Immutable >>> b=10.5
decimal/floating point >>> type(b)
Numbers <class 'float'>
Complex We can use to represent the Immutable >>> c=10+5j
complex numbers >>> type(c)
<class 'complex'>

<class 'bool'>
Str To represent sequence of Immutable >>> s='venkat'
Characters >>>type(s)

>>> s='''Venkat Software Solutions
... Ameerpet'''
>>>type(s)
<class'str'>
bytes To represent a sequence of Immutable >>>list=[1,2,3,4]
byte values from 0-255 >>>b=bytes(list)
>>> type(b)
<class 'bytes'>
bytearray To represent a sequence of Mutable >>> list=[10,20,30]
byte values from 0-255 >>> ba=bytearray(list)
>>> type(ba)
<class 'bytearray'>
range To represent a range of Immutable >>> r=range(10)
values >>> r1=range(0,10)
>>> r2=range(0,10,2)
List To represent an ordered Mutable >>> l=[10,11,12,13,14,15]
collection of objects >>> type(l)
<class 'list'>
tuple To represent an ordered Immutable >>> t=(1,2,3,4,5)
collections of objects >>> type(t)
<class 'tuple'>
Set To represent an unordered Mutable >>> s={1,2,3,4,5,6}
collection of unique objects >>> type(s)
[Type here]

<class 'set'>
frozenset To represent an unordered Immutable >>> s={11,2,3,'Venkat',100,'Ramu'}
collection of unique objects >>> fs=frozenset(s)
>>> type(fs)
<class 'frozenset'>
Dict To represent a group of key Mutable >>>
value pairs d={101:'venkat',102:'ramu',103:'hari'}
>>> type(d)
<class 'dict'>

None Data Type:

None means Nothing or No value associated.

If the value is not available,then to handle such type of cases None introduced.
It is something like null value in Java.
Eg:
def m1():
a=10

print(m1())
None

Escape Characters:
In String literals we can use esacpe characters to associate a special meaning.

1) >>>s="venkat\nsoftware"
2) >>>print(s)
3) venkat
4) software
5) >>> s="venkat\tsoftware"
6) >>>print(s)
7) venkat software
8) >>> s="This is " symbol"
9) File "<stdin>", line1
10) s="This is "symbol"
11) ^
12) SyntaxError: invalid syntax
13) >>> s="This is \" symbol"
14) >>>print(s)
15) This is " symbol
[Type here]

The following are various important escape characters in Python

1) \n==>NewLine
2) \t===>Horizontaltab
3) \r ==>CarriageReturn
4) \b===>Backspace
5) \f===>FormFeed
6) \v==>Verticaltab
7) \'===>Singlequote
8) \"===>Doublequote
9) \\===>back slash symbol
....

Constants:
Constants concept is not applicable in Python.
But it is convention to use only uppercase characters if we don’t want to change value.

MAX_VALUE=10

It is just convention but we can change the value.

Operators
Operator is a symbol that performs certain operations.
Python provides the following set of operators

1. ArithmeticOperators
2. Relational Operators or ComparisonOperators
3. Logicaloperators
4. Bitwiseoeprators
5. Assignmentoperators
6. Special operators

1. Arithmetic Operators:
+ ==>Addition
- ==>Subtraction
* ==>Multiplication
/ ==>Division operator
% ===>Modulo operator

// ==>Floor Division operator

** ==>Exponent operator or poweroperator

Eg:test.py:

1) a=10
2) b=2
3) print('a+b=',a+b)
4) print('a-b=',a-b)
5) print('a*b=',a*b)
6) print('a/b=',a/b)
7) print('a//b=',a//b)
8) print('a%b=',a%b)
9) print('a**b=',a**b)
[Type here]

Output:

1) Python test.py or py test.py

2) a+b= 12
3) a-b= 8
4) a*b= 20
5) a/b= 5.0
6) a//b= 5
7) a%b= 0
8) a**b= 100

Eg:

1) a = 10.5
2) b=2
3)
4) a+b= 12.5
5) a-b= 8.5
6) a*b= 21.0
7) a/b= 5.25
8) a//b= 5.0
9) a%b= 0.5
10) a**b= 110.25

Eg:
10/2==>5.0
10//2==>5
10.0/2===>5.0
10.0//2===>5.0

Note: / operator always performs floating point arithmetic. Hence it will always returns
float value.

But Floor division (//) can perform both floating point and integral arithmetic. If
arguments are int type then result is int type. If atleast one argument is float type then
result is float type.

Note:

We can use +,* operators for str type also.

If we want to use + operator for str type then compulsory both arguments should be str
type only otherwise we will get error.

1) >>>"venkat"+10
2) TypeError: must be str, not int
3) >>>"venkat"+"10"
4) 'venkat10'
[Type here]

If we use * operator for str type then compulsory one argument should be int and other
argument should be str type.

2*"venkat
"
"venkat"*
2
2.5*"venkat" ==>TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'
"venkat"*"venkat"==>TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type
'str'

+====>String concatenation operator

* ===>String multiplication operator

Note:For any number x,

x/0 and x%0 always raises "ZeroDivisionError"

10/0
10.0/0
.....

Relational Operators:
>,>=,<,<=

Eg 1:

1) a=10
2) b=20
3) print("a > b is",a>b)
4) print("a >= b is ",a>=b)
5) print("a < b is",a<b)
6) print("a <= b is ",a<=b)
7)
8) a > b is False
9) a >= b is False
10) a < b is True
11) a <= b is True

We can apply relational operators for str types also

Eg 2:

1) a="venkat"
2) b="venkat"
3) print("a > b is",a>b)
4) print("a >= b is ",a>=b)
5) print("a < b is",a<b)
[Type here]

6) print("a <= b is ",a<=b)

7)
8) a > b is False
9) a >= b is True
10) a < b is False
11) a <= b is True

Eg:

1) print(True>True) False
2) print(True>=True) True
3) print(10 >True) True
4) print(False > True) False
5)
6) print(10>'venkat')
7) TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'int' and'str'

Eg:

1) a=10
2) b=20
3) if(a>b):
4) print("a is greater thanb")
5) else:
6) print("a is not greater thanb")

Outputa is not greater than b

Note:Chaining of relational operators is possible. In the chaining, if all comparisons

returns True then only result is True. If atleast one comparison returns False then the
result is False

Eg:

1) 10<20 ==>True
2) 10<20<30 ==>True
3) 10<20<30<40 ==>True
4) 10<20<30<40>50 ==>False

equality operators:
== , !=

We can apply these operators for any type even for incompatible types also

1) >>>10==20
2) False
3) >>> 10!=20
[Type here]

4) True
5) >>> 10==True
6) False
7) >>> False==False
8) True
9) >>>"venkat"=="venkat"
10) True
11) >>> 10=="venkat"
12) False

Note:Chaining concept is applicable for equality operators. If atleast one comparison

returns False then the result is False. otherwise the result is True.

Eg:

1) >>> 10==20==30==40
2) False
3) >>> 10==10==10==10
4) True

Logical Operators:
and, or ,not

We can apply for all types.

For boolean types behaviour:

and ==>If both arguments are True then only result isTrue
or ====>If atleast one arugemnt is True then result is True
not ==>complement

True and False ==>False

True or False ===>True
not False ==>True

For non-boolean types behaviour:

0 means False
non-zero means True
empty string is always treated as False

x and y:

==>if x is evaluates to false return x otherwise return y

[Type here]

Eg:
10 and 20
0 and 20

If first argument is zero then result is zero otherwise result is y

x or y:

If x evaluates to True then result is x otherwise result is y

10 or 20 ==> 10
0 or 20 ==> 20

not x:

If x is evalutates to False then result is True otherwise False

not 10==>False

not 0 ==>True

Bitwise Operators:
We can apply these operators bitwise.
These operators are applicable only for int and boolean types.
By mistake if we are trying to apply for any other type then we will get Error.

&,|,^,~,<<,>>

print(4&5) ==>valid
print(10.5 & 5.6) ==>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'float' and 'float'

print(True & True)==>valid

[Type here]

& ==> If both bits are 1 then only result is 1 otherwise result is 0
| ==> If atleast one bit is 1 then result is 1 otherwise result is 0
^ ==>If bits are different then only result is 1 otherwise result is 0
~ ==>bitwise complement operator
1==>0 &0==>1
<< ==>Bitwise Left shift
>> ==>Bitwise Right Shift

print(4&5) ==>4
print(4|5) ==>5
print(4^5) ==>1

Operator Description
& If both bits are 1 then only result is 1 otherwise result is 0
| If atleast one bit is 1 then result is 1 otherwise result is 0
^ If bits are different then only result is 1 otherwise result is 0
~ bitwise complement operator i.e 1 means 0 and 0 means 1
>> Bitwise Left shift Operator
<< Bitwise Right shift Operator

bitwise complement operator(~):

We have to apply complement for total bits.

Eg: print(~5) ==>-6

Note:
The most significant bit acts as sign bit. 0 value represents +ve number where as 1
represents -ve value.
positive numbers will be repesented directly in the memory where as -ve numbers will be
represented indirectly in 2's complement form.

Shift Operators:
<< Left shift operator
After shifting the empty cells we have to fill with zero

print(10<<2)==>40

0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0

0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0
[Type here]

>> Right Shift operator

After shifting the empty cells we have to fill with sign bit.( 0 for +ve and 1 for -ve)

print(10>>2) ==>2

0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

We can apply bitwise operators for boolean types also

print(True & False)==>False

print(True | False) ===>True
print(True ^ False) ==>True
print(~True) ==>-2
print(True<<2) ==>4
print(True>>2) ==>0

Assignment Operators:
We can use assignment operator to assign value to the variable.

Eg:
x=10

We can combine asignment operator with some other operator to form compound
assignment operator.

Eg: x+=10 ====> x = x+10

The following is the list of all possible compound assignment operators in Python

+=
-=
*=
/=
%=
//=
**=
&=
|=
^=
[Type here]

>>=
<<=

Eg:

1) x=10
2) x+=20
3) print(x) ==>30

Eg:

1) x=10
2) x&=5
3) print(x) ==>0

Ternary Operator:
Syntax:
x = firstValue if condition else secondValue

If condition is True then firstValue will be considered else secondValue will be considered.

Eg 1:

1) a,b=10,20
2) x=30 if a<b else 40
3) print(x) #30

Eg 2:Read two numbers from the keyboard and print minimum value

1) a=int(input("Enter First Number:"))

2) b=int(input("Enter Second Number:"))
3) min=a if a<b else b
4) print("Minimum Value:",min)

Output:
Enter First Number:10
Enter Second Number:30
Minimum Value: 10

Note:Nesting of ternary operator is possible.

Q. Program for minimum of 3 numbers

1) a=int(input("Enter FirstNumber:"))
2) b=int(input("Enter Second Number:"))
3) c=int(input("Enter Third Number:"))
4) min=a if a<b and a<c else b if b<c else c
5) print("Minimum Value:",min)

Q. Program for maximum of 3 numbers

1) a=int(input("Enter FirstNumber:"))
2) b=int(input("Enter Second Number:"))
3) c=int(input("Enter Third Number:"))
4) max=a if a>b and a>c else b if b>c else c
5) print("Maximum Value:",max)

Eg:

1) a=int(input("Enter First Number:"))

2) b=int(input("Enter Second Number:"))
3) print("Both numbers are equal" if a==b else "First Number is Less than Second Number" if
a<b else "First Number Greater than Second Number")

Output:D:\python_classes>p
y test.py Enter First
Number:10

Special operators:
Python defines the following 2 special operators

1. IdentityOperators
2. Membership operators

1. Identity Operators
We can use identity operators for address comparison.
2 identity operators are available
1. is
2. isnot

r1 is r2 returns True if both r1 and r2 are pointing to the same object

r1 is not r2 returns True if both r1 and r2 are not pointing to the same object

Eg:

1) a=10
2) b=10
3) print(a is b) True
4) x=True
5) y=True
6) print( x is y) True

Eg:

1) a="venkat"
2) b="venkat"
3) print(id(a))
4) print(id(b))
5) print(a is b)

Eg:

1) list1=["one","two","three"]
2) list2=["one","two","three"]
3) print(id(list1))
4) print(id(list2))
5) print(list1 is list2) False
6) print(list1 is not list2) True
7) print(list1 == list2) True
[Type here]

Note:
We can use is operator for address comparison where as == operator for content
comparison.

2. Membership operators:
We can use Membership operators to check whether the given object present in the
given collection.(It may be String,List,Set,Tuple or Dict)

in Returns True if the given object present in the specified Collection

not in Retruns True if the given object not present in the specified Collection

Eg:

1) x="hello learning Python is very easy!!!"

2) print('h' in x) True
3) print('d' in x) False
4) print('d' not in x) True
5) print('Python' in x) True

Eg:

1) list1=["sunny","bunny","chinny","pinny"]
2) print("sunny" in list1)True
3) print("tunny" in list1)False
4) print("tunny" not in list1)True

Operator Precedence:
If multiple operators present then which operator will be evaluated first is decided by
operator precedence.

Eg:
print(3+10*2) 23
print((3+10)*2) 26

The following list describes operator precedence in Python

() Parenthesis
** exponential operator

Mathematical Functions (math Module)

A Module is collection of functions, variables and classes etc.

math is a module that contains several functions to perform mathematical operations

If we want to use any module in Python, first we have to import that module.

importmath

Once we import a module then we can call any function of thatmodule.

importmath
print(math.sqrt(16))
print(math.pi)

4.0
3.141592653589793

We can create alias name by using as keyword.

import math as m

Once we create alias name, by using that we can access functions and variables of that
module

import math as m
print(m.sqrt(16))
print(m.pi)

We can import a particular member of a module explicitly as follows

from math import sqrt

from math import sqrt,pi

If we import a member explicitly then it is not required to use module name while
accessing.

from math import sqrt,pi

print(sqrt(16))
print(pi)
print(math.pi) NameError: name 'math' is not defined
[Type here]

important functions of math module:

ceil(x)
floor(x)
pow(x,y)
factorial(x)
trunc(x)
gcd(x,y)
sin(x)
cos(x)
tan(x)
....

important variables of math module:

pi3.14
e===>2.71
inf ==>infinity
nan ==>not a number

Q. Write a Python program to find area of circle

pi*r**2

from math import pi

r=16
print("Area of Circle is :",pi*r**2)

OutputArea of Circle is : 804.247719318987

Input And Output Statements

Reading dynamic input from the keyboard:
In Python 2 the following 2 functions are available to read dynamic input from the
keyboard.

1. raw_input()
2. input()

1. raw_input():

This function always reads the data from the keyboard in the form of String Format. We
have to convert that string type to our required type by using the corresponding type
casting methods.

Eg:
x=raw_input("Enter First Number:")
print(type(x)) It will always print str type only for any inputtype

2. input():

input() function can be used to read data directly in our required format.We are not
required to perform type casting.

x=input("Enter Value)
type(x)

10 ===> int
"venkat"===>st
r 10.5===>float
True==>bool

***Note:But in Python 3 we have only input() method and raw_input() method is not
available.
Python3 input() function behaviour exactly same as raw_input() method of Python2. i.e
every input value is treated as str type only.

raw_input() function of Python 2 is renamed as input() function in Python3

Eg:

1) >>> type(input("Entervalue:"))
2) Enter value:10
3) <class 'str'>

7)
8) Enter value:True
9) <class 'str'>

1) x=input("Enter First Number:")

2) y=input("Enter Second Number:")
3) i = int(x)
4) j = int(y)

How to read multiple values from the keyboard in a single line:

1) a,b= [int(x) for x in input("Enter 2 numbers :").split()]
2) print("Product is :", a*b)
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
5) Enter 2 numbers :10 20
6) Product is :200

Note: split() function can take space as seperator by default.But we can pass
anything asseperator.

Q. Write a program to read 3 float numbers from the keyboard with , seperator and print
their sum.

1) a,b,c= [float(x) for x in input("Enter 3 float numbers :").split(',')]

2) print("The Sum is :", a+b+c)
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
5) Enter 3 float numbers :10.5,20.6,20.1
6) The Sum is : 51.2

eval():
eval Function take a String and evaluate the Result.

Eg: x = eval(“10+20+30”)
print(x)

Output:60

Eg: x = eval(input(“Enter Expression”))

Enter Expression: 10+2*3/4
Output11.5
[Type here]

eval() can evaluate the Input to list, tuple, set, etc based the provided Input.

Eg: Write a Program to accept list from the keynboard on the display

1) l = eval(input(“EnterList”))
2) print (type(l))
3) print(l)

Command Line Arguments

 argv is not Array it is a List. It is available sysModule.
 The Argument which are passing at the time of execution are called CommandLine
Arguments.

Eg: D:\Python_classes py test.py 10 20 30

Command Line Arguments

Within the Python Program this Command Line Arguments are available in argv. Which is
present in SYS Module.

test.py 10 20 30

Note: argv[0] represents Name of Program. But not first Command Line Argument.
argv[1] represent First Command Line Argument.

Program: To check type of argv from sys

import argv
print(type(argv))

D:\Python_classes\py test.py

Write a Program to display Command Line Arguments

1) from sys import argv
2) print(“The Number of Command Line Arguments:”, len(argv))
3) print(“The List of Command Line Arguments:”, argv)
4) print(“Command Line Arguments one by one:”)
5) for x in argv:
6) print(x)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 10 20 30
9) The Number of Command Line Arguments: 4
[Type here]

10) The List of Command Line Arguments: *‘test.py’, ‘10’,’20’,’30’+

11) Command Line Arguments one by one:
12) test.py
13) 10
14) 20
15) 30

1) from sys import argv

2) sum=0
3) args=argv[1:]
4) for x in args :
5) n=int(x)
6) sum=sum+n
7) print("The Sum:",sum)
8)
9) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 10 20 30 40
10) The Sum: 100

Note1: usually space is seperator between command line arguments. If our command line
argument itself contains space then we should enclose within double quotes(but not
single quotes)

Eg:

1) from sys import argv

2) print(argv[1])
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py Hello World
5) Hello
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 'Hello World'
8) Hello
9)
10) D:\Python_classes>py test.py "Hello World"
11) Hello World

Note2:Within the Python program command line arguments are available in the String
form. Based on our requirement,we can convert into corresponding type by using type
casting methods.

Eg:

1) from sys import argv

2) print(argv[1]+argv[2])
3) print(int(argv[1])+int(argv[2]))
[Type here]

4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 10 20
6) 1020
7) 30

Note3: If we are trying to access command line arguments with out of range index then
we will get Error.

Eg:

1) from sys import argv

2) print(argv[100])
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 10 20
5) IndexError: list index out ofrange

Note:

In Python there is argparse module to parse command line arguments and display some
help messages whenever end user enters wrong input.

input()
raw_input()

command line arguments

output statements:
We can use print() function to display output.

Form-1:print() without any argument

Just it prints new line character

Form-2:
1) print(String):
2) print("Hello World")
3) We can use escape characters also
4) print("Hello \n World")
5) print("Hello\tWorld")
6) We can use repetetion operator (*) in the string
7) print(10*"Hello")
8) print("Hello"*10)
9) We can use + operator also
10) print("Hello"+"World")
[Type here]

Note:
If both arguments are String type then + operator acts as concatenation operator.

If one argument is string type and second is any other type like int then we will get Error

If both arguments are number type then + operator acts as arithmetic additionoperator.

Note:

1) print("Hello"+"World")
2) print("Hello","World")
3)
4) HelloWorld
5) HelloWorld

Form-3:print() with variable number of arguments:

1. a,b,c=10,20,30
2. print("The Values are :",a,b,c)
3.
4. OutputThe Values are : 10 20 30

By default output values are seperated by space.If we want we can specify seperator by
using "sep" attribute

1. a,b,c=10,20,30
2. print(a,b,c,sep=',')
3. print(a,b,c,sep=':')
4.
5. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6. 10,20,30
7. 10:20:30

Form-4:print() with end attribute:

1. print("Hello")
2. print("Venkat")
3. print("Soft")

Output:

1. Hello
2. Venkat
3. Soft

If we want output in the same line with space

[Type here]

1. print("Hello",end=' ')
2. print("welcome to",end=' ')
3. print("Python Learning")

Output: Hello welcome to Python Learning

Note: The default value for end attribute is \n,which is nothing but new line character.

Form-5:print(object) statement:

We can pass any object (like list,tuple,set etc)as argument to the print() statement.

Eg:

1. l=[10,20,30,40]
2. t=(10,20,30,40)
3. print(l)
4. print(t)

Form-6:print(String,variable list):

We can use print() statement with String and any number of arguments.

Eg:

1. s="Venkat"
2. a=35
3. s1="java"
4. s2="Python"
5. print("Hello",s,"Your Age is",a)
6. print("You are teaching",s1,"and",s2)

Output:

1) Hello Venkat Your Age is 35

2) You are teaching java andPython

Form-7:print(formatted string):

%i====>int
%d====>int
%f=====>float
%s======>String type
[Type here]

Syntax:

print("formatted string" %(variable list))

Eg1:

1) a=10
2) b=20
3) c=30
4) print("a value is %i" %a)
5) print("b value is %d and c value is %d" %(b,c))
6)
7) Output
8) a value is 10
9) b value is 20 and c value is 30

Eg2:

1) s="Venkat"
2) list=[10,20,30,40]
3) print("Hello %s ...The List of Items are %s" %(s,list))
4)
5) Output Hello Venkat ...The List of Items are [10, 20, 30,40]

Form-8:print() with replacement operator {}

Eg:

1) name="Venkat"
2) salary=10000
3) gf="Sunny"
4) print("Hello {0} your salary is {1} and Your Friend {2} is waiting".format(name,salary,gf))
5) print("Hello {x} your salary is {y} and Your Friend {z} is waiting".format(x=name,y=salary,z=
gf))
6)
7) Output
8) Hello Venkat your salary is 10000 and Your Friend Sunny is waiting
9) Hello Venkat your salary is 10000 and Your Friend Sunny is waiting

II. IterativeStatements
If we want to execute a group of statements multiple times then we should go for
Iterative statements.

Python supports 2 types of iterative statements.

1. forloop
2. whileloop

1) forloop:
If we want to execute some action for every element present in some sequence(it may be
string or collection)then we should go for for loop.

Syntax:

for x in sequence :
body

where sequence can be string or any collection.

Body will be executed for every element present in the sequence.

Eg 1: To print characters present in the given string

1) s="Sunny Leone"
2) for x in s :
3) print(x)
4)
5)Output
6)S
7)u
8)n
9)n
10) y
11)
12) L
13) e
14) o
15) n
16) e
[Type here]

Eg 2: To print characters present in string index wise:

1) s=input("Enter some String: ")

2)i=0
3) for x in s :
4) print("The character present at ",i,"index is :",x)
5) i=i+1
6)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>pytest.py
9) Enter some String: Python Learning
10) The character present at 0 index is : P
11) The character present at 1 index is : y
12) The character present at 2 index is : t
13) The character present at 3 index is : h
14) The character present at 4 index is : o
15) The character present at 5 index is :n
16) The character present at 6 index is :
17) The character present at 7 index is : L
18) The character present at 8 index is : e
19) The character present at 9 index is : a
20) The character present at 10 index is : r
21) The character present at 11 index is : n
22) The character present at 10 index is : i
23) The character present at 10 index is : n
24) The character present at 10 index is : g

Eg 3: To print Hello 10 times

1) for x in range(10) :
2) print("Hello")

Eg 4: To display numbers from 0 to 10

1) for x in range(11):
print(x)

Eg 5: To display odd numbers from 0 to 20

1) for x in range(21):
2) if(x%2!=0):
print(x)

Eg 6: To display numbers from 10 to 1 in descending order

1) for x in range(10,0,-1):
2) print(x)
[Type here]

Eg 7: To print sum of numbers presenst inside list

1) list=eval(input("Enter List:"))
2) sum=0;
3) for x inlist:
4) sum=sum+x;
5) print("TheSum=",sum)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) Enter List:[10,20,30,40]
9) The Sum= 100
10)
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) Enter List:[45,67]
13) The Sum= 112

2) whileloop:
If we want to execute a group of statements iteratively until some condition false,then we
should go for while loop.

Syntax:

while condition :
body

Eg: To print numbers from 1 to 10 by using while loop

1) x=1
2) while x <=10:
3) print(x)
4) x=x+1

Eg: To display the sum of first n numbers

1) n=int(input("Enternumber:"))
2)sum=0
3)i=1
4) while i<=n:
5) sum=sum+i
6) i=i+1
7) print("The sum of first",n,"numbers is:",sum)
[Type here]

Eg: write a program to prompt user to enter some name until entering Venkat

1) name=""
2) while name!="venkat":
3) name=input("Enter Name:")
4) print("Thanks for confirmation")

Infinite Loops:
1)i=0;
2) while True :
3) i=i+1;
4) print("Hello",i)

Nested Loops:
Sometimes we can take a loop inside another loop,which are also known as nested loops.

Eg:

1) for i in range(4):
2) for j inrange(4):
3) print("i=",i,"j=",j)
4)
5)Output
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) i=0 j=0
8) i=0 j=1
9) i=0 j=2
10)i=0 j=3
11)i=1 j=0
12)i=1 j=1
13)i=1 j=2
14)i=1 j=3
15)i=2 j=0
16)i=2 j=1
17)i=2 j=2
18)i=2 j=3
19)i=3 j=0
20)i=3 j=1
21)i=3 j=2
22)i=3 j=3

11) print(" " *(n-i),end="")
12) print("* "*i)
[Type here]

III. Transfer Statements

1) break:
We can use break statement inside loops to break loop execution based on some
condition.

Eg:

1) for i inrange(10):
2) if(i==7):
3) print("processing is enough..plz break")
4) break
5) print(i)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8)0
9)1
10) 2
11)3
12) 4
13)5
14) 6
15) processing is enough..plz break

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,600,60,70]
2) for item in cart:
3) ifitem>500:
4) print("To place this order insurence must be required")
5) break
6) print(item)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9)10
10) 20
11) To place this order insurence must be required
[Type here]

2) continue:
We can use continue statement to skip current iteration and continue next iteration.

Eg 1: To print odd numbers in the range 0 to 9

1) for i in range(10):
2) ifi%2==0:
3) continue
4) print(i)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) 1
8)3
9) 5
10) 7
11) 9

Eg2:

1) cart=[10,20,500,700,50,60]
2) for item in cart:
3) ifitem>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this item :",item)
5) continue
6) print(item)
7)
8)Output
9) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
10) 10
11) 20
12) We cannot process this item : 500
13) We cannot process this item : 700
14) 50
15) 60

Eg3:

1) numbers=[10,20,0,5,0,30]
2) for n in numbers:
3) ifn==0:
4) print("Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping")
5) continue
6) print("100/{} ={}".format(n,100/n))
7)
[Type here]

8)Output
9)
10) 100/10 = 10.0
11) 100/20 = 5.0
12) Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping
13) 100/5 = 20.0
14) Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping
15) 100/30 = 3.3333333333333335

loops with else block:

Inside loop execution,if break statement not executed ,then only else part will be
executed.

else means loop without break

Eg:

1)cart=[10,20,30,40,50]
2) for item in cart:
3) ifitem>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this order")
5) break
6) print(item)
7)else:
8) print("Congrats ...all items processed successfully")
9)
10) Output
11) 10
12) 20
13) 30
14) 40
15) 50
16) Congrats ...all items processed successfully

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,600,30,40,50]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this order")
5) Break
6) print(item)
7) else:
8) print("Congrats ...all items processed successfully")
[Type here]

9)
10) Output
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) 10
13) 20
14) We cannot process this order

Q. What is the difference between for loop and while loop in Python?

We can use loops to repeat code execution

Repeat code for every item in sequence ==>for loop
Repeat code as long as condition is true ==>while loop

Q. How to exit from the loop?

by using break statement

Q. How to skip some iterations inside loop?

by using continue statement.

Q. When else part will be executed wrt loops?

If loop executed without break

3) passstatement:
pass is a keyword in Python.

In our programming syntactically if block is required which won't do anything then we can
define that empty block with pass keyword.

pass
|- It is an empty statement
|- It is null statement
|- It won't do anything

Eg:

if True:
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

if True: pass
==>valid

def m1():
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
[Type here]

def m1(): pass

use case of pass:

Sometimes in the parent class we have to declare a function with empty body and child
class responsible to provide proper implementation. Such type of empty body we can
define by using pass keyword. (It is something like abstract method in java)

Eg:
def m1(): pass

Eg:

1) for i inrange(100):
2) ifi%9==0:
3) print(i)
4) else:pass
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py

del statement:

del is a keyword in Python.

After using a variable, it is highly recommended to delete that variable if it is no longer

required,so that the corresponding object is eligible for Garbage Collection.
We can delete variable by using del keyword.

Eg:

1) x=10
2)print(x)
3) delx
[Type here]

After deleting a variable we cannot access that variable otherwise we will get NameError.

Eg:

1)x=10
2) del x
3)print(x)

NameError: name 'x' is not defined.

Note:
We can delete variables which are pointing to immutable objects.But we cannot delete
the elements present inside immutable object.

Eg:

1)s="venkat"
2)print(s)
3) del s==>valid
4) del s[0] ==>TypeError: 'str' object doesn't support item deletion

Difference between del and None:

In the case del, the variable will be removed and we cannot access that variable(unbind
operation)

1)s="venkat"
2) del s
3) print(s) ==>NameError: name 's' is notdefined.

But in the case of None assignment the variable won't be removed but the corresponding
object is eligible for Garbage Collection(re bind operation). Hence after assigning with
None value,we can access that variable.

1) s="venkat"
2) s=None
3) print(s) #None

String Data Type

The most commonly used object in any project and in any programming language is String only.
Hence we should aware complete information about String data type.

What is String?
Any sequence of characters within either single quotes or double quotes is considered as a String.

Syntax:
s='venkat'
s="venkat
”

Note:In most of other languges like C, C++,Java, a single character with in single quotes is treated
as char data type value. But in Python we are not having char data type.Hence it is treated as
String only.

Eg:
>>> ch='a'
>>> type(ch)
<class 'str'>

How to define multi-line String literals:

We can define multi-line String literals by using triple single or double quotes.

Eg:
>>>
s='''venkat
software
solutions'''

We can also use triple quotes to use single quotes or double quotes as symbol inside String literal.

Eg:
s='This is ' single quote symbol' ==>invalid
s='This is \' single quote symbol' ==>valid
s="This is ' single quote symbol"====>valid
s='This is " double quotes symbol' ==>valid
s='The "Python Notes" by 'venkat' is very helpful' ==>invalid
s="The "Python Notes" by 'venkat' is very helpful"==>invalid
s='The \"Python Notes\" by \'venkat\' is very helpful'
==>valid s='''The "Python Notes" by 'venkat' is very helpful'''
==>valid

How to access characters of a String:

We can access characters of a string by using the following ways.

1. By usingindex
2. By using sliceoperator

1. By usingindex:

Python supports both +ve and -ve index.

+ve index means left to right(Forward direction)
-ve index means right to left(Backward direction)

Eg:
s='venky'

Eg:
>>> s='venky'
>>> s[0]
'v'
>>> s[4]
'y'
>>> s[-1]
'y'
>>> s[10]
IndexError: string index out of range

Note:If we are trying to access characters of a string with out of range index then we will get
error saying : IndexError

Q. Write a program to accept some string from the keyboard and display its characters by
index wise(both positive and nEgative index)

test.py:

1) s=input("Enter Some String:")

2) i=0
3) for x in s:
4) print("The character present at positive index {} and at nEgative index {} is{}".format(i,i
-len(s),x))
5) i=i+1

Output:D:\python_classes>p
y test.py Enter Some
String:venky
[Type here]

The character present at positive index 0 and at nEgative index -5 is v

The character present at positive index 1 and at nEgative index -4 is e
The character present at positive index 2 and at nEgative index -3 is n
The character present at positive index 3 and at nEgative index -2 is k
The character present at positive index 4 and at nEgative index -1 is y

2. Accessing characters by using sliceoperator:

Syntax:s[bEginindex:endindex:step]

bEginindex:From where we have to consider slice(substring)

endindex: We have to terminate the slice(substring) at endindex-1
step: incremented value

Note:If we are not specifying bEgin index then it will consider from bEginning of the string.
If we are not specifying end index then it will consider up to end of the string
The default value for step is 1

Eg:

1) >>> s="Learning Python is very very easy!!!"

2) >>> s[1:7:1]
3) 'earnin'
4) >>> s[1:7]
5) 'earnin'
6) >>> s[1:7:2]
7) 'eri'
8) >>> s[:7]
9) 'Learnin'
10) >>> s[7:]
11) 'g Python is very very easy!!!'
12) >>> s[::]
13) 'Learning Python is very veryeasy!!!'
14) >>> s[:]
15) 'Learning Python is very veryeasy!!!'
16) >>> s[::-1]
17) '!!!ysae yrev yrev si nohtyPgninraeL'

Behaviour of slice operator:

s[bEgin:end:step]

step value can be either +ve or –ve

if +ve then it should be forward direction(left to right) and we have to consider bEgin to end-1

if -ve then it should be backward direction(right to left) and we have to consider bEgin toend+1
[Type here]

***Note:
In the backward direction if end value is -1 then result is always empty.
In the forward direction if end value is 0 then result is always empty.

In forward direction:
default value for bEgin:0
default value for end: length of string
default value for step:+1

In backward direction:
default value for bEgin: -1
default value for end: -(length of string+1)

Note:Either forward or backward direction, we can take both +ve and -ve values for bEgin and
end index.

Mathematical Operators for String:

We can apply the following mathematical operators for Strings.

1. + operator for concatenation

2. * operator for repetition

print("venkat"+"soft")
#venkatsoft print("venkat"*2)
#venkatvenkat

Note:
1. To use + operator for Strings, compulsory both arguments should be strtype

2. To use * operator for Strings, compulsory one argument should be str and other argument
should beint

len() in-built function:

We can use len() function to find the number of characters present in the string.

Eg:
s='venkat'
print(len(s)) #5
[Type here]

Q.Writeaprogramtoaccesseachcharacterofstringinforwardandbackwarddirection by using
whileloop?

1) s="Learning Python is very easy !!!"

2) n=len(s)
3) i=0
4) print("Forward direction")
5) while i<n:
6) print(s[i],end='')
7) i+=1
8) print("Backward direction")
9) i=-1
10) while i>=-n:
11) print(s[i],end='')
12) i=i-1

Alternativeways:
1) s="Learning Python is very easy !!!"
2) print("Forward direction")
3) for i in s:
4) print(i,end='')
5)
6) print("Forward direction")
7) for i in s[::]:
8) print(i,end='')
9)
10) print("Backward direction")
11) for i in s[::-1]:
12) print(i,end='')

Checking Membership:
We can check whether the character or string is the member of another string or not by using in
and not in operators

s='venkat'
print('v' in s) #True
print('z' in s) #False

Program:

1) s=input("Enter main string:")

2) subs=input("Enter sub string:")
3) if subs in s:
4) print(subs,"is found in mainstring")
5) else:
[Type here]

6) print(subs,"is not found in mainstring")

Output:
D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter main
string:venkatsoftwaresolutions
Enter sub string:venkat
venkat is found in main string

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter main
string:venkatsoftwaresolutions
Enter sub string:python
python is not found in main string

Comparison of Strings:
We can use comparison operators (<,<=,>,>=) and equality operators(==,!=) for strings.

Comparison will be performed based on alphabetical order.

Eg:

1) s1=input("Enter first string:")

2) s2=input("Enter Second string:")
3) if s1==s2:
4) print("Both strings areequal")
5) elif s1<s2:
6) print("First String is less than SecondString")
7) else:
8) print("First String is greater than SecondString")

Output:
D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter first string:venkat
Enter Second
string:venkat
Both strings are equal

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter first string: deepu
Enter Second string:ravi
First String is less than Second String

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter first string:venkat
Enter Second string:anil
First String is greater than Second String
[Type here]

Removing spaces from the string:

We can use the following 3 methods

1. rstrip()===>To remove spaces at right handside

2. lstrip()===>To remove spaces at left handside
3. strip() ==>To remove spaces bothsides

Eg:

1) city=input("Enter your city Name:")

2) scity=city.strip()
3) if scity=='Hyderabad':
4) print("HelloHyderbadi.. ")
5) elif scity=='Chennai':
6) print("Hello Madrasi... ")
7) elif scity=="Bangalore":
8) print("Hello Kannadiga... ")
9) else:
10) print("your entered city isinvalid")

Finding Substrings:
We can use the following 4 methods

For forward direction:

find()
index()

For backward direction:

rfind()
rindex()

1. find():
s.find(substring)

Returns index of first occurrence of the given substring. If it is not available then we will get -1

Eg:

1) s="Learning Python is very easy"

[Type here]

2) print(s.find("Python")) #9
3) print(s.find("Java")) # -1
4) print(s.find("r"))#3
5) print(s.rfind("r"))#21

Note:By default find() method can search total string. We can also specify the boundaries to
search.

s.find(substring,bEgin,end)

It will always search from bEgin index to end-1 index

Eg:

1) s="venkyravipavanshiva"
2) print(s.find('a'))#4
3) print(s.find('a',7,15))#10
4) print(s.find('z',7,15))#-1

index() method:
index() method is exactly same as find() method except that if the specified substring is not
available then we will get ValueError.

Eg:

1) s=input("Enter main string:")

2) subs=input("Enter sub string:")
3) try:
4) n=s.index(subs)
5) except ValueError:
6) print("substring notfound")
7) else:
8) print("substringfound")

Output:
D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter main string:learning python is very easy
Enter sub string:python
substring found

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter main string:learning python is very easy
Enter sub string:java
substring not found
[Type here]

Q. Program to display all positions of substring in a given main string

1) s=input("Enter main string:")

2) subs=input("Enter sub string:")
3) flag=False
4) pos=-1
5) n=len(s)
6) while True:
7) pos=s.find(subs,pos+1,n)
8) ifpos==-1:
9) break
10) print("Found atposition",pos)
11) flag=True
12) if flag==False:
13) print("Not Found")

Output:

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter main string:abbababababacdefg
Enter sub string:a
Found at position 0
Found at position 3
Found at position 5
Found at position 7
Found at position 9
Found at position 11

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter mainstring:abbababababacdefg
Enter substring:bb
Found at position1

Counting substring in the given String:

We can find the number of occurrences of substring present in the given string by using count()
method.

1. s.count(substring) ==> It will search through out thestring

2. s.count(substring, bEgin, end) ===> It will search from bEgin index to end-1index

Eg:

1) s="abcabcabcabcadda"
2) print(s.count('a'))
3) print(s.count('ab'))
4) print(s.count('a',3,7))
[Type here]

Output:
6
4
2

Replacing a string with another string:

s.replace(oldstring,newstring)

inside s, every occurrence of oldstring will be replaced with newstring.

Eg1:
s="Learning Python is very difficult"
s1=s.replace("difficult","easy")
print(s1)

Output:
Learning Python is very easy

Eg2:All occurrences will be replaced

s="ababababababab"
s1=s.replace("a","b")
print(s1)

Output:bbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Q. String objects are immutable then how we can change the content by
using replace() method.
Once we creates string object, we cannot change the content.This non changeable behaviour is
nothing but immutability. If we are trying to change the content by using any method, then with
those changes a new object will be created and changes won't be happend in existing object.

Hence with replace() method also a new object got created but existing object won't be changed.

Eg:
s="abab"
s1=s.replace("a","b")
print(s,"is available at :",id(s))
print(s1,"is available at :",id(s1))

Output:
abab is available at : 4568672
bbbb is available at : 4568704
[Type here]

In the above example, original object is available and we can see new object which was created
because of replace() method.

Splitting of Strings:
We can split the given string according to specified seperator by using split() method.

l=s.split(seperator)

The default seperator is space. The return type of split() method is List

Eg1:

1) s="venkat softwaresolutions"
2) l=s.split()
3) for x inl:
4) print(x)

Output:
venkat
software
solutions

Eg2:

1) s="22-02-2018"
2) l=s.split('-')
3) for x inl:
4) print(x)

Output:
22
02
2018

Joining of Strings:
We can join a group of strings(list or tuple) wrt the given seperator.

s=seperator.join(group of strings)

Eg:t=('sunny','bunny','chin
ny') s='-'.join(t)
print(s)

Output: sunny-bunny-chinny
[Type here]

Eg2:
l=['hyderabad','singapore','london','dubai']
s=':'.join(l)
print(s)

hyderabad:singapore:london:dubai

Changing case of a String:

We can change case of a string by using the following 4 methods.

1. upper()===>To convert all characters to uppercase

2. lower() ===>To convert all characters to lowercase
3. swapcase()===>converts all lower casecharacters to upper case and all upper case characters to
lowercase
4. title() ===>To convert all character to title case. i.e first character in every word should be upper
case and all remaining characters should be in lowercase.
5. capitalize()==>Onlyfirstcharacterwillbeconvertedtouppercaseandallremainingcharacters can
be converted to lowercase

Eg:
s='learning Python is very Easy'
print(s.upper())
print(s.lower())
print(s.swapcase())
print(s.title())
print(s.capitalize())

Output:
LEARNING PYTHON IS VERYEASY
learning python is very easy
LEARNING pYTHON IS VERYeASY
Learning Python Is Very Easy
Learning python is very easy

Checking starting and ending part of the string:

Python contains the following methods for this purpose

1. s.startswith(substring)
2. s.endswith(substring)

Eg:
s='learning Python is very easy'
print(s.startswith('learning'))
print(s.endswith('learning'))
print(s.endswith('easy'))
[Type here]

Output:
True
False
True

To check type of characters present in a string:

Python contains the following methods for this purpose.

1) isalnum():Returns True if all characters are alphanumeric( a to z , A to Z ,0 to9)

2) isalpha():Returns True if all characters are only alphabet symbols(a to z,A toZ)
3) isdigit():Returns True if all characters are digits only( 0 to9)
4) islower():Returns True if all characters are lower case alphabetsymbols
5) isupper():Returns True if all characters are upper case aplhabetsymbols
6) istitle():Returns True if string is in titlecase
7) isspace():Returns True if string contains onlyspaces

Eg:
print('Venkat786'.isalnum()) #True
print('venkat786'.isalpha()) #False
print('venkat'.isalpha()) #True
print('venkat'.isdigit()) #False
print('786786'.isdigit()) #True
print('abc'.islower()) #True
print('Abc'.islower()) #False
print('abc123'.islower()) #True
print('ABC'.isupper())#True
print('Learning python is Easy'.istitle()) #False
print('Learning Python Is Easy'.istitle()) #True
print(' '.isspace()) #True

Demo Program:

1) s=input("Enter any character:")

2) if s.isalnum():
3) print("Alpha NumericCharacter")
4) ifs.isalpha():
5) print("Alphabet character")
6) ifs.islower():
7) print("Lower case alphabetcharacter")
8) else:
9) print("Upper case alphabetcharacter")
10) else:
11) print("it is adigit")
12) elif s.isspace():
13) print("It is spacecharacter")
14) else:
[Type here]

15) print("Non Space SpecialCharacter")

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter any character:7
Alpha Numeric Character
it is a digit

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter any character:a
Alpha Numeric Character
Alphabet character
Lower case alphabet character

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter any character:$
Non Space Special Character

D:\python_classes>py test.py
Enter any character:A
Alpha Numeric Character
Alphabet character
Upper case alphabet character

Formatting the Strings:

We can format the strings with variable values by using replacement operator {} and format()
method.

Eg:
name='venka
t'
salary=10000
age=48
print("{} 's salary is {} and his age is {}".format(name,salary,age))
print("{0} 's salary is {1} and his age is {2}".format(name,salary,age))
print("{x}'ssalaryis{y}andhisageis{z}".format(z=age,y=salary,x=name))

Output:
venkat 's salary is 10000 and his age is
48 venkat 's salary is 10000 and his age
is 48 venkat 's salary is 10000 and his
age is 48

Formatting the Strings:

We can format the strings with variable values by using replacement operator {} and format()
method.

The main objective of format() method to format string into meaningful output form.

Case- 1:Basic Formatting for default, positional and keyword arguments

name='venkat'
salary=10000
age=48
print("{} 's salary is {} and his age is {}".format(name,salary,age))
print("{0} 's salary is {1} and his age is {2}".format(name,salary,age))
print("{x}'ssalaryis{y}andhisageis{z}".format(z=age,y=salary,x=name))

Output:
venkat 's salary is 10000 and his age is
48 venkat 's salary is 10000 and his age
is 48 venkat 's salary is 10000 and his
age is 48

Case-2:Formatting Numbers

d--->Decimal IntEger
f ---- >Fixed point number(float).The default precision is6
b-->Binary format
o-- >OctalFormat
x-->Hexa Decimal Format(Lower case)

The float number is: 0123.457
The float number is: 0123.450
The float number is: 786786123.450

Note:
{:08.3f}

Total positions should be minimum 8.

After decimal point exactly 3 digits are allowed.If it is less then 0s will be placed in the last
positions
If total number is < 8 positions then 0 will be placed in MSBs
If total number is >8 positions then all intEgral digits will be considered.
The extra digits we can take only 0

Note:For numbers default alignment is Right Alignment(>)

Eg-3:Print Decimal value in binary, octal and hexadecimal form

print("Binary Form:{0:b}".format(153))
print("Octal Form:{0:o}".format(153))
print("Hexa decimal Form:{0:x}".format(154))
print("Hexa decimal Form:{0:X}".format(154))

Output:
Binary Form:10011001
Octal Form:231
Hexa decimal Form:9a
Hexa decimal Form:9A

Note:We can represent only int values in binary, octal and hexadecimal and it is not possible for
float values.

Note:
{:5d} It takes an intEger argument and assigns a minimum width of 5.
{:8.3f} It takes a float argument and assigns a minimum width of 8 including "." and after decimal
point excatly 3 digits are allowed with round operation if required
{:05d} The blank places can be filled with 0. In this place only 0 allowed.

Case-3:Number formatting for signed numbers

While displaying positive numbers,if we want to include + then we have to write

{:+d} and{:+f}

Using plus for -ve numbers there is no use and for -ve numbers - sign will come automatically.

print("int value with sign:{:+d}".format(123))

print("int value with sign:{:+d}".format(-123))
print("float value with sign:{:+f}".format(123.456))
print("float value with sign:{:+f}".format(-123.456))

Output:
int value with sign:+123
int value with sign:-123
float value with sign:+123.456000
float value with sign:-123.456000

Case-4:Number formatting with alignment

<,>,^ and = are used for alignment

<==>Left Alignment to the remaining space
^===>Center alignment to the remaining space
>===> Right alignment to the remaining space
= ===>Forces the signed(+) (-) to the left most position

Note:Default Alignment for numbers is RightAlignment.

Ex:

1) print("{:5d}".format(12))
2) print("{:<5d}".format(12))
3) print("{:<05d}".format(12))
4) print("{:>5d}".format(12))
5) print("{:>05d}".format(12))
6) print("{:^5d}".format(12))
7) print("{:=5d}".format(-12))
8) print("{:^10.3f}".format(12.23456))
9) print("{:=8.3f}".format(-12.23456))

Output:
12
12
12000

Case-5:String formatting with format()

Similar to numbers, we can format String values also with format() method.

s.format(string)

Eg:

1) print("{:5d}".format(12))
2) print("{:5}".format("rat"))
3) print("{:>5}".format("rat"))
4) print("{:<5}".format("rat"))
5) print("{:^5}".format("rat"))
6) print("{:*^5}".format("rat")) #Instead of * we can use any character(like +,$,a etc)

Output:
12
rat
rat
rat
rat
*rat*

Note:For numbers default alignment is right where as for strings default alignment is left

Case-6:Truncating Strings with format() method

1) print("{:.3}".format("venkatsoftware"))
2) print("{:5.3}".format("venkatsoftware"))
3) print("{:>5.3}".format("venkatsoftware"))
4) print("{:^5.3}".format("venkatsoftware"))
5) print("{:*^5.3}".format("venkatsoftware"))

Output:
dur
dur
dur
dur
*dur*

Case-7:Formatting dictionary members using format()

1) person={'age':48,'name':'venkat'}
2) print("{p[name]}'s age is: {p[age]}".format(p=person))
[Type here]

Output:
venkat's age is: 48
Note: p is alias name of dictionary
person dictionary we are passing as keyword argument

More convinient way is to use **person

Eg:

1) person={'age':48,'name':'venkat'}
2) print("{name}'s age is: {age}".format(**person))

Output:
venkat's age is: 48

Case-8:Formatting class members using format()

Eg:

1) class Person:
2) age=48
3) name="venkat"
4) print("{p.name}'s age is :{p.age}".format(p=Person()))

Output:
venkat's age is :48

Eg:

1) class Person:
2) def init(self,name,age):
3) self.name=name
4) self.age=age
5) print("{p.name}'s age is :{p.age}".format(p=Person('venkat',48)))
6) print("{p.name}'s age is :{p.age}".format(p=Person('Ravi',50)))

Note:Here Person object is passed as keyword argument. We can access by using its reference
variable in the template string

Case-9:Dynamic Formatting using format()

1) string="{:{fill}{align}{width}}"
2) print(string.format('cat',fill='*',align='^',width=5))
3) print(string.format('cat',fill='*',align='^',width=6))
4) print(string.format('cat',fill='*',align='<',width=6))
5) print(string.format('cat',fill='*',align='>',width=6))
[Type here]

Output:
*cat*
*cat**
cat***
***cat

Case-10:Dynamic Float format template

1) num="{:{align}{width}.{precision}f}"
2) print(num.format(123.236,align='<',width=8,precision=2))
3) print(num.format(123.236,align='>',width=8,precision=2))

Output:
123.24
123.24

Case-11:Formatting Date values

1) import datetime
2) #datetime formatting
3) date=datetime.datetime.now()
4) print("It's now:{:%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S}".format(date))

Output:It's now:09/03/201812:36:26

Case-12:Formatting complexnumbers

1) complexNumber=1+2j
2) print("Real Part:{0.real} and Imaginary Part:{0.imag}".format(complexNumber))

Output:Real Part:1.0 and Imaginary Part:2.0

List Data Structure

If we want to represent a group of individual objects as a single entity where insertion
order preserved and duplicates are allowed, then we should go for List.

insertion order preserved.

duplicate objects are allowed
heterogeneous objects areallowed.
List is dynamic because based on our requirement we can increase the size and decrease
the size.
In List the elements will be placed within square brackets and with comma seperator.

We can differentiate duplicate elements by using index and we can preserve insertion
order by using index. Hence index will play very important role.
Python supports both positive and negative indexes. +ve index means from left to right
where as negative index means right to left

[10,"A","B",20, 30, 10]

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
10 A B 20 30 10
0 1 2 3 4 5

List objects are mutable.i.e we can change the content.

Creation of List Objects:

1. We can create empty list object asfollows...

1) list=[]
2) print(list)
3) print(type(list))
4)
5) []
6) <class 'list'>

2. If we know elements already then we can create list asfollows

list=[10,20,30,40]
[Type here]

3. With dynamicinput:
1) list=eval(input("Enter List:"))
2) print(list)
3) print(type(list))
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) Enter List:[10,20,30,40]
7) [10, 20, 30, 40]
8) <class 'list'>

4. With list()function:

1) l=list(range(0,10,2))
2) print(l)
3) print(type(l))
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
7) <class 'list'>

Eg:

1) s="durga"
2) l=list(s)
3) print(l)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) ['d', 'u', 'r', 'g', 'a']

5. with split()function:
1) s="Learning Python is very very easy !!!"
2) l=s.split()
3) print(l)
4) print(type(l))
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) ['Learning', 'Python', 'is', 'very', 'very', 'easy', '!!!']
8) <class 'list'>

Note:

Sometimes we can take list inside another list,such type of lists are called nested lists.
[10,20,[30,40]]
[Type here]

Accessing elements of List:

We can access elements of the list either by using index or by using slice operator(:)

1. By usingindex:

List follows zero based index. ie index of first element is zero.

List supports both +ve and -ve indexes.
+ve index meant for Left to Right
-ve index meant for Right to Left

list=[10,20,30,40]

-4 -3 -2 -1
10 20 30 40
list
0 1 2 3

print(list[0]) ==>10
print(list[-1]) ==>40
print(list[10]) ==>IndexError: list index out of range

2. By using sliceoperator:

Syntax:

list2= list1[start:stop:step]

start ==>it indicates the index where slice has to start

default value is 0

stop ===>It indicates the index where slice has to end

default value is max allowed index of list ie length of the list

step ==>increment value

default value is 1

Eg:

1) n=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
2) print(n[2:7:2])
3) print(n[4::2])
4) print(n[3:7])
5) print(n[8:2:-2])
6) print(n[4:100])

7)
8) Output
9) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
10) [3, 5, 7]
11) [5, 7, 9]
12) [4, 5, 6, 7]
13) [9, 7, 5]
14) [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

List vs mutability:
Once we creates a List object,we can modify its content. Hence List objects are mutable.

Eg:

1) n=[10,20,30,40]
2) print(n)
3) n[1]=777
4) print(n)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) [10, 20, 30, 40]
8) [10, 777, 30, 40]

Traversing the elements of List:

The sequential access of each element in the list is called traversal.

1. By using whileloop:

1) n=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
2) i=0
3) while i<len(n):
4) print(n[i])
5) i=i+1
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) 0
9)1
10) 2
11)3
12) 4
13)5
14) 6
15)7
16) 8
17)9
[Type here]

18) 10

2. By using forloop:

1) n=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
2) for n1 in n:
3) print(n1)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) 0
7)1
8) 2
9) 3
10) 4
11)5
12) 6
13)7
14) 8
15)9
16) 10

3. To display only evennumbers:

1) n=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
2) for n1 in n:
3) if n1%2==0:
4) print(n1)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) 0
8) 2
9) 4
10) 6
11)8
12) 10

4. To display elements by indexwise:

1) l=["A","B","C"]
2) x=len(l)
3) for i in range(x):
4) print(l[i],"is available at positive index: ",i,"and at negative index:",i-x)
5)
6) Output
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) A is available at positive index: 0 and at negative index: -3
9) B is available at positive index: 1 and at negative index: -2
10) C is available at positive index: 2 and at negative index: -1
[Type here]

Important functions of List:

I. To get information aboutlist:

1. len():
returns the number of elements present in the list

Eg: n=[10,20,30,40]
print(len(n))==>4

2. count():
It returns the number of occurrences of specified item in the list

1) n=[1,2,2,2,2,3,3]
2) print(n.count(1))
3) print(n.count(2))
4) print(n.count(3))
5) print(n.count(4))
6)
7) Output
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) 1
10) 4
11) 2
12) 0

3. index()function:

returns the index of first occurrence of the specified item.

Eg:

1) n=[1,2,2,2,2,3,3]
2) print(n.index(1)) ==>0
3) print(n.index(2)) ==>1
4) print(n.index(3)) ==>5
5) print(n.index(4)) ==>ValueError: 4 is not inlist

Note:If the specified element not present in the list then we will get ValueError.Hence
before index() method we have to check whether item present in the list or not by using in
operator.

print( 4 in n)==>False
[Type here]

II. Manipulating elements ofList:

1. append()function:

We can use append() function to add item at the end of the list.

Eg:

1) list=[]
2) list.append("A")
3) list.append("B")
4) list.append("C")
5) print(list)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) ['A', 'B', 'C']

Eg: To add all elements to list upto 100 which are divisible by 10

1) list=[]
2) for i in range(101):
3) ifi%10==0:
4) list.append(i)
5) print(list)
6)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]

2. insert()function:

To insert item at specified index position

1) n=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) n.insert(1,888)
3) print(n)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [1, 888, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Eg:

1) n=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) n.insert(10,777)
3) n.insert(-10,999)
4) print(n)
5)
[Type here]

6) D:\Python_classes>pytest.py
7) [999, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 777]

Note:If the specified index is greater than max index then element will be inserted at last
position. If the specified index is smaller than min index then element will be inserted at
first position.

Differences between append() and insert()

append() insert()
In List when we add any element it will In List we can insert any element in
come in last i.e. it will be last element. particular index number

3. extend()function:

To add all items of one list to another list

l1.extend(l2)
all items present in l2 will be added tol1

Eg:

1) order1=["Chicken","Mutton","Fish"]
2) order2=["RC","KF","FO"]
3) order1.extend(order2)
4) print(order1)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) ['Chicken', 'Mutton', 'Fish', 'RC', 'KF', 'FO']

Eg:

1) order=["Chicken","Mutton","Fish"]
2) order.extend("Mushroom")
3) print(order)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) ['Chicken', 'Mutton', 'Fish', 'M', 'u', 's', 'h', 'r', 'o', 'o', 'm']

4. remove()function:

We can use this function to remove specified item from the list.If the item present
multiple times then only first occurrence will be removed.
[Type here]

1) n=[10,20,10,30]
2) n.remove(10)
3) print(n)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [20, 10, 30]

If the specified item not present in list then we will get ValueError

1) n=[10,20,10,30]
2) n.remove(40)
3) print(n)
4)
5) ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list

Note:Hence before using remove() method first we have to check specified element
present in the list or not by using in operator.

5. pop()function:

It removes and returns the last element of the list.

This is only function which manipulates list and returns some element.

Eg:

1) n=[10,20,30,40]
2) print(n.pop())
3) print(n.pop())
4) print(n)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) 40
8) 30
9) [10, 20]

If the list is empty then pop() function raises IndexError

Eg:

1) n=[]
2) print(n.pop()) ==> IndexError: pop from empty list
[Type here]

Note:

1. pop() is the only function which manipulates the list and returns somevalue
2. In general we can use append() and pop() functions to implement stackdatastructure
by using list,which follows LIFO(Last In First Out)order.

In general we can use pop() function to remove last element of the list. But we can use to
remove elements based on index.

n.pop(index)===>To remove and return element present at specified index.

n.pop()==>To remove and return last element of the list

1) n=[10,20,30,40,50,60]
2) print(n.pop()) #60
3) print(n.pop(1)) #20
4) print(n.pop(10)) ==>IndexError: pop index out of range

Differences between remove() and pop()

remove() pop()
1) We can use to remove special element 1) We can use to remove last element
from the List. from the List.
2) It can’t return any value. 2) It returned removed element.
3) If special element not available then we 3) If List is empty then we get Error.
get VALUE ERROR.

Note:

List objects are dynamic. i.e based on our requirement we can increase and decrease the
size.

append(),insert() ,extend() ===>for increasing the size/growable nature

remove(), pop() ======>for decreasing the size /shrinking nature
[Type here]

III. Ordering elements ofList:

1. reverse():

We can use to reverse() order of elements of list.

1) n=[10,20,30,40]
2) n.reverse()
3) print(n)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [40, 30, 20, 10]

2. sort()function:

In list by default insertion order is preserved. If want to sort the elements of list according
to default natural sorting order then we should go for sort() method.

For numbers ==>default natural sorting order is Ascending Order

ForStrings==> default natural sorting order is AlphabeticalOrder

1) n=[20,5,15,10,0]
2) n.sort()
3) print(n) #[0,5,10,15,20]
4)
5) s=["Dog","Banana","Cat","Apple"]
6) s.sort()
7) print(s)#['Apple','Banana','Cat','Dog']

Note:To use sort() function, compulsory list should contain only homogeneous elements.
otherwise we will get TypeError

Eg:

1) n=[20,10,"A","B"]
2) n.sort()
3) print(n)
4)
5) TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and'int'

Note:In Python 2 if List contains both numbers and Strings then sort() function first sort
numbers followed by strings

1) n=[20,"B",10,"A"]
2) n.sort()
[Type here]

3) print(n)# [10,20,'A','B']

But in Python 3 it is invalid.

To sort in reverse of default natural sorting order:

We can sort according to reverse of default natural sorting order by using reverse=True
argument.

Eg:

1. n=[40,10,30,20]
2. n.sort()
3. print(n) ==>[10,20,30,40]
4. n.sort(reverse=True)
5. print(n) ===>[40,30,20,10]
6. n.sort(reverse=False)
7. print(n) ==>[10,20,30,40]

Aliasing and Cloning of List objects:

The process of giving another reference variable to the existing list is called aliasing.

Eg:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x 10 20 30 40
3) print(id(x)) x
4) print(id(y)) y

The problem in this approach is by using one reference variable if we are changing
content,then those changes will be reflected to the other reference variable.

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x 10 20 30 40
3) y[1]=777 x 777
4) print(x)==>[10,777,30,40] y

To overcome this problem we should go for cloning.

The process of creating exactly duplicate independent object is called cloning.

We can implement cloning by using slice operator or by using copy() function

[Type here]

1. By using sliceoperator:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x[:]
3) y[1]=777
4) print(x) ==>[10,20,30,40]
5) print(y) ==>[10,777,30,40]

10 20 30 40
x

10 20 30 40
777
y

2. By using copy()function:
1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x.copy()
3) y[1]=777
4) print(x) ==>[10,20,30,40]
5) print(y) ==>[10,777,30,40]

10 20 30 40
x

10 20 30 40
777
y

Q. Difference between = operator and copy() function

= operator meant for aliasing

copy() function meant for cloning
[Type here]

Using Mathematical operators for List Objects:

We can use + and * operators for List objects.

1. Concatenationoperator(+):

We can use + to concatenate 2 lists into a single list

1) a=[10,20,30]
2) b=[40,50,60]
3) c=a+b
4) print(c) ==>[10,20,30,40,50,60]

Note:To use + operator compulsory both arguments should be list objects,otherwise we

will get TypeError.

Eg:

c=a+40 ==>TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "int") tolist

c=a+[40] ==>valid

2. RepetitionOperator(*):

We can use repetition operator * to repeat elements of list specified number of times

Eg:

1) x=[10,20,30]
2) y=x*3
3) print(y)==>[10,20,30,10,20,30,10,20,30]

Comparing List objects

We can use comparison operators for List objects.

Eg:

1. x=["Dog","Cat","Rat"]
2. y=["Dog","Cat","Rat"]
3. z=["DOG","CAT","RAT"]
4. print(x==y) True
5. print(x==z) False
6. print(x!=z) True
[Type here]

Note:

Whenever we are using comparison operators(==,!=) for List objects then the following
should be considered
1. The number of elements
2. The order ofelements
3. The content of elements (casesensitive)

Note:When ever we are using relatational operators(<,<=,>,>=) between List objects,only

first element comparison will be performed.

Eg:

1. x=[50,20,30]
2. y=[40,50,60,100,200]
3. print(x>y) True
4. print(x>=y) True
5. print(x<y) False
6. print(x<=y) False

Eg:

1. x=["Dog","Cat","Rat"]
2. y=["Rat","Cat","Dog"]
3. print(x>y) False
4. print(x>=y) False
5. print(x<y) True
6. print(x<=y) True

Membership operators:
We can check whether element is a member of the list or not by using memebership
operators.

in operator
not inoperator

Eg:

1. n=[10,20,30,40]

8. True
9. False
10. False
11. True

clear() function:

We can use clear() function to remove all elements of List.

Eg:

1. n=[10,20,30,40]
2. print(n)
3. n.clear()
4. print(n)
5.
6. Output
7. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8. [10, 20, 30, 40]
9. []

Nested Lists:
Sometimes we can take one list inside another list. Such type of lists are called nested
lists.

Eg:

1. n=[10,20,[30,40]]
2. print(n)
3. print(n[0])
4. print(n[2])
5. print(n[2][0])
6. print(n[2][1])
7.
8. Output
9. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
10. [10, 20, [30, 40]]
11. 10
12. [30, 40]
13. 30
14. 40

Note:We can access nested list elements by using index just like accessing multi
dimensional array elements.

Nested List as Matrix:

In Python we can represent matrix by using nested lists.

1) n=[[10,20,30],[40,50,60],[70,80,90]]
2) print(n)
3) print("Elements by Row wise:")
4) for r in n:
5) print(r)
6) print("Elements by Matrix style:")
7) for i in range(len(n)):
8) for j inrange(len(n[i])):
9) print(n[i][j],end='')
10) print()
11)
12) Output
13) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
14) [[10, 20, 30], [40, 50, 60], [70, 80, 90]]
15) Elements by Row wise:
16) [10, 20, 30]
17) [40, 50, 60]
18) [70, 80, 90]
19) Elements by Matrix style:
20) 10 20 30
21) 40 50 60
22) 70 80 90

List Comprehensions:
It is very easy and compact way of creating list objects from any iterable objects(like
list,tuple,dictionary,range etc) based on some condition.

Syntax:
list=[expression for item in list if condition]

Eg:

1) s=[ x*x for x in range(1,11)]

2) print(s)
3) v=[2**x for x in range(1,6)]
4) print(v)
5) m=[x for x in s if x%2==0]
6) print(m)
7)
8) Output

[Type here]

11) [2, 4, 8, 16, 32]

12) [4, 16, 36, 64, 100]

Eg:

1) words=["Balaiah","Nag","Venkatesh","Chiranjeevi"]
2) l=[w[0] for w in words]
3) print(l)
4)
5) Output['B', 'N', 'V', 'C']

Eg:

1) num1=[10,20,30,40]
2) num2=[30,40,50,60]
3) num3=[ i for i in num1 if i not in num2]
4) print(num3) [10,20]
5)
6) common elements present in num1 and num2
7) num4=[i for i in num1 if i in num2]
8) print(num4) [30, 40]

Eg:

1) words="the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".split()

2) print(words)
3) l=[[w.upper(),len(w)] for w inwords]
4) print(l)
5)
6) Output
7) ['the', 'quick', 'brown', 'fox', 'jumps', 'over', 'the', 'lazy', 'dog']
8) [['THE', 3], ['QUICK', 5], ['BROWN', 5], ['FOX', 3], ['JUMPS', 5], ['OVER', 4],
9) ['THE', 3], ['LAZY', 4], ['DOG', 3]]

Tuple Data Structure

1. Tuple is exactly same as List except that it is immutable. i.e once we createsTuple
object,we cannot perform any changes in thatobject.
Hence Tuple is Read Only version of List.
2. If our data is fixed and never changes then we should go forTuple.
3. Insertion Order ispreserved
4. Duplicates areallowed
5. Heterogeneous objects areallowed.
6. Wecanpreserveinsertionorderandwecandifferentiateduplicateobjectsbyusing
index. Hence index will play very important role in Tuplealso.
Tuple support both +ve and -ve index. +ve index means forward direction(from left to
right) and -ve index means backward direction(from right to left)
7. We can represent Tuple elements within Parenthesis and with commaseperator.
Parenethesis are optional but recommended touse.

Eg:

1. t=10,20,30,40
2. print(t)
3. print(type(t))
4.
5. Output
6. (10, 20, 30, 40)
7. <class 'tuple'>
8.
9. t=()
10. print(type(t)) # tuple

Note:We have to take special care about single valued tuple.compulsary the value
should ends with comma,otherwise it is not treated as tuple.
Eg:

1. t=(10)
2. print(t)
3. print(type(t))
4.
5. Output
6. 10
7. <class 'int'>
[Type here]

Eg:

1. t=(10,)
2. print(t)
3. print(type(t))
4.
5. Output
6. (10,)
7. <class 'tuple'>

Q. Which of the following are valid tuples?

1. t=()
2. t=10,20,30,40
3. t=10
4. t=10,
5. t=(10)
6. t=(10,)
7.t=(10,20,30,40)

Tuple creation:

1. t=()
creation of empty tuple

2. t=(10,)
t=10,
creation of single valued tuple ,parenthesis are optional,should ends with comma

3.t=10,20,30
t=(10,20,30)
creation of multi values tuples & parenthesis are optional

4. By using tuple() function:

1. list=[10,20,30]
2. t=tuple(list)
3. print(t)
4.
5. t=tuple(range(10,20,2))
6. print(t)
[Type here]

Accessing elements of tuple:

We can access either by index or by slice operator

1. By usingindex:
1. t=(10,20,30,40,50,60)
2. print(t[0]) #10
3. print(t[-1]) #60
4. print(t[100]) IndexError: tuple index out ofrange

2. By using sliceoperator:
1. t=(10,20,30,40,50,60)
2. print(t[2:5])
3. print(t[2:100])
4. print(t[::2])
5.
6. Output
7. (30, 40,50)
8. (30, 40, 50, 60)
9. (10, 30,50)

Tuple vs immutability:
Once we creates tuple,we cannot change its content.
Hence tuple objects are immutable.

Eg:
t=(10,20,30,40)
t[1]=70 TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support itemassignment

Mathematical operators for tuple:

We can apply + and * operators for tuple

1. ConcatenationOperator(+):
1. t1=(10,20,30)
2. t2=(40,50,60)
3. t3=t1+t2
4. print(t3) #(10,20,30,40,50,60)
[Type here]

2. Multiplication operator or repetitionoperator(*)

1. t1=(10,20,30)
2. t2=t1*3
3. print(t2) #(10,20,30,10,20,30,10,20,30)

Important functions of Tuple:

1. len()
To return number of elements present in the tuple

Eg:
t=(10,20,30,40)
print(len(t))#4

2. count()
To return number of occurrences of given element in the tuple

Eg:
t=(10,20,10,10,20)
print(t.count(10)) #3

3. index()
returns index of first occurrence of the given element.
If the specified element is not available then we will get ValueError.

Eg:
t=(10,20,10,10,20)
print(t.index(10)) #0
print(t.index(30)) ValueError: tuple.index(x): x not in tuple

4. sorted()
To sort elements based on default natural sorting order

1. t=(40,10,30,20)
2. t1=sorted(t)
3. print(t1)
4. print(t)
5.
6. Output
7. [10, 20, 30,40]
8. (40, 10, 30, 20)

We can sort according to reverse of default natural sorting order as follows

[Type here]

t1=sorted(t,reverse=True)
print(t1) [40, 30, 20, 10]

5. min() and max()functions:

These functions return min and max values according to default natural sorting order.

Eg:

1. t=(40,10,30,20)
2. print(min(t)) #10
3. print(max(t)) #40

6. cmp():

It compares the elements of both tuples.

If both tuples are equal then returns 0
If the first tuple is less than second tuple then it returns -1
If the first tuple is greater than second tuple then it returns +1

Eg:

1. t1=(10,20,30)
2. t2=(40,50,60)
3. t3=(10,20,30)
4. print(cmp(t1,t2)) # -1
5. print(cmp(t1,t3)) # 0
6. print(cmp(t2,t3)) # +1

Note:cmp() function is available only in Python2 but not in Python 3

Tuple Packing and Unpacking:

We can create a tuple by packing a group of variables.

Eg:

a=10
b=20
c=30
d=40
t=a,b,c,d
print(t) #(10, 20, 30, 40)

Here a,b,c,d are packed into a tuple t. This is nothing but tuple packing.
[Type here]

Tuple unpacking is the reverse process of tuple packing

We can unpack a tuple and assign its values to different variables

Eg:

1. t=(10,20,30,40)
2. a,b,c,d=t
3. print("a=",a,"b=",b,"c=",c,"d=",d)
4.
5. Output
6. a= 10 b= 20 c= 30 d= 40

Note:At the time of tuple unpacking the number of variables and number of values
shouldbesame. ,otherwise we will getValueError.

Eg:
t=(10,20,30,40)
a,b,c=t #ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected3)

Tuple Comprehension:
Tuple Comprehension is not supported by Python.

t= ( x**2 for x in range(1,6))

Here we are not getting tuple object and we are getting generator object.

1. t= ( x**2 for x in range(1,6))

2. print(type(t))
3. for x in t:
4. print(x)
5.
6. Output
7. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8. <class 'generator'>
9.1
10. 4
11.9
12. 16
13. 25

Q. Write a program to take a tuple of numbers from the keyboard and print its sum and
average?

1. t=eval(input("Enter Tuple of Numbers:"))

2. l=len(t)
3. sum=0
4. for x in t:
5. sum=sum+x
6. print("The Sum=",sum)
7. print("The Average=",sum/l)
8.
9. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
10. Enter Tuple of Numbers:(10,20,30,40)
11. The Sum= 100
12. The Average= 25.0
13.
14. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
15. Enter Tuple of Numbers:(100,200,300)
16. The Sum= 600
17. The Average= 200.0

Differences between List and Tuple:

List and Tuple are exactly same except small difference: List objects are mutable where as
Tuple objects are immutable.

In both cases insertion order is preserved, duplicate objects are allowed, heterogenous
objects are allowed, index and slicing are supported.

List Tuple
1) List is a Group of Comma separeated 1) Tuple is a Group of Comma separeated
Values within Square Brackets and Square Values within Parenthesis and Parenthesis
Brackets are mandatory. are optional.
Eg: i = [10, 20, 30, 40] Eg: t = (10, 20, 30, 40)
t = 10, 20, 30, 40
2) List Objects are Mutable i.e. once we 2) Tuple Objeccts are Immutable i.e. once
creates List Object we can perform any we creates Tuple Object we cannot change
changes in that Object. its content.
Eg: i[1] = 70 t[1] = 70 ValueError: tuple object does
not support item assignment.
3) If the Content is not fixed and keep on 3) If the content is fixed and never changes
changing then we should go for List. then we should go for Tuple.
4) List Objects can not used as Keys for 4) Tuple Objects can be used as Keys for

Set DataStructure
 If we want to represent a group of unique values as a single entity thenwe should go
for set.
 Duplicates are notallowed.
 Insertion order is not preserved.But we can sort theelements.
 Indexing and slicing not allowed for theset.
 Heterogeneous elements areallowed.
 Setobjectsaremutablei.eoncewecreatessetobjectwecanperformanychangesin that
object based on ourrequirement.
 We can represent set elements within curly braces and with commaseperation
 We can apply mathematical operations like union,intersection,difference etc onset
objects.

Creation of Set objects:

Eg:

1. s={10,20,30,40}
2. print(s)
3. print(type(s))
4.
5. Output
6. {40, 10, 20, 30}
7. <class 'set'>

We can create set objects by using set() function

s=set(any sequence)

Eg 1:

1. l = [10,20,30,40,10,20,10]
2. s=set(l)
3. print(s) # {40, 10, 20, 30}

Eg 2:

1. s=set(range(5))
2. print(s) #{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Note:While creating empty set we have to take special care.

Compulsory we should use set() function.
[Type here]

s={} ==>It is treated as dictionary but not empty set.

Eg:

1. s={}
2. print(s)
3. print(type(s))
4.
5. Output
6. {}
7. <class 'dict'>

Eg:

1. s=set()
2. print(s)
3. print(type(s))
4.
5. Output
6. set()
7. <class 'set'>

Important functions of set:

1. add(x):

Adds item x to the set

Eg:

1. s={10,20,30}
2. s.add(40);
3. print(s) #{40, 10, 20, 30}

2. update(x,y,z):

To add multiple items to the set.

Arguments are not individual elements and these are Iterable objects like List,range etc.
All elements present in the given Iterable objects will be added to the set.

Eg:

1. s={10,20,30}
2. l=[40,50,60,10]
3. s.update(l,range(5))
4. print(s)
[Type here]

5.

7. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 40, 10, 50, 20, 60,30}

Q. What is the difference between add() and update() functions in set?

We can use add() to add individual item to the Set,where as we can use update() function
to add multiple items to Set.
add() function can take only one argument where as update() function can take any
number of arguments but all arguments should be iterable objects.

Q. Which of the following are valid for set s?

1.s.add(10)
2. s.add(10,20,30) TypeError: add() takes exactly one argument (3given)
3. s.update(10) TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
4.s.update(range(1,10,2),range(0,10,2))

3. copy():

Returns copy of the set.

It is cloned object.

s={10,20,30}
s1=s.copy()
print(s1)

4. pop():

It removes and returns some random element from the set.

Eg:

1. s={40,10,30,20}
2. print(s)
3. print(s.pop())
4. print(s)
5.
6. Output
7. {40, 10, 20, 30}
8. 40
9. {10, 20, 30}
[Type here]

5. remove(x):

It removes specified element from the set.

If the specified element not present in the Set then we will get KeyError

s={40,10,30,20}
s.remove(30)
print(s) # {40, 10,20}
s.remove(50) ==>KeyError: 50

6. discard(x):

It removes the specified element from the set.

If the specified element not present in the set then we won't get any error.

s={10,20,30}
s.discard(10)
print(s) ===>{20, 30}
s.discard(50)
print(s) ==>{20,30}

Q. What is the difference between remove() and discard() functions in Set?

Q. Explain differences between pop(),remove() and discard() functionsin Set?

7.clear():

To remove all elements from the Set.

1. s={10,20,30}
2. print(s)
3. s.clear()
4. print(s)
5.
6. Output
7. {10, 20, 30}
8. set()

Mathematical operations on the Set:

1. union():

x.union(y) ==>We can use this function to return all elements present in both sets

x.union(y)or x|y

Eg:
x={10,20,30,40}
y={30,40,50,60}
print(x.union(y)) #{10, 20, 30, 40, 50,60}
print(x|y) #{10, 20, 30, 40, 50,60}

2. intersection():

x.intersection(y) orx&y

Returns common elements present in both x and y

Eg:

x={10,20,30,40}
y={30,40,50,60}
print(x.intersection(y)) #{40,30}
print(x&y) #{40, 30}

3. difference():

x.difference(y) or x-y
returns the elements present in x but not in y

Eg:

x={10,20,30,40}
y={30,40,50,60}
print(x.difference(y)) #{10, 20}
print(x-y) #{10,20}
print(y-x) #{50,60}

4. symmetric_difference():

x. symmetric_difference(y) or x^y

Returns elements present in either x or y but not in both

print(x.symmetric_difference(y)) #{10, 50, 20,60}
print(x^y) #{10, 50, 20,60}

Membershipoperators: (in , notin)

Eg:

1. s=set("venkat")

4. print('z' in s)
5.
6. Output
7. {'u', 'g', 'r', 'd', 'a'}
8. True
9. False

Set Comprehension:
Set comprehension is possible.

s={x*xforx in range(5)}
print(s) #{0, 1, 4, 9,16}

s={2**x for x in range(2,10,2)}

print(s) #{16, 256, 64,4}

set objects won't support indexing and slicing:

Eg:
s={10,20,30,40}
print(s[0]) ==>TypeError: 'set' object does not supportindexing
print(s[1:3]) ==>TypeError: 'set' object is notsubscriptable

Dictionary Data Structure

We can use List,Tuple and Set to represent a group of individual objects as a single entity.

If we want to represent a group of objects as key-value pairs then we should go for

Dictionary.

Eg:
rollno --- name
phone number--address
ipaddress -- domainname

Duplicate keys are not allowed but values can be duplicated.

Hetrogeneous objects are allowed for both key and values.
insertion order is not preserved
Dictionaries are mutable
Dictionaries are dynamic
indexing and slicing concepts are not applicable

Note:In C++ and Java Dictionaries are known as "Map" where as in Perl and Ruby it is
known as "Hash"

How to create Dictionary?

d={} or d=dict()
we are creating empty dictionary. We can add entries as follows

d[100]="venkat
" d[200]="ravi"
d[300]="shiva"
print(d) #{100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}

If we know data in advance then we can create dictionary as follows

d={100:'venkat' ,200:'ravi', 300:'shiva'}

d={key:value, key:value}
[Type here]

How to access data from the dictionary?

We can access data by using keys.

d={100:'venkat' ,200:'ravi',
300:'shiva'} print(d[100])
#venkat
print(d[300]) #shiva

If the specified key is not available then we will get KeyError

print(d[400]) # KeyError: 400

We can prevent this by checking whether key is already available or not by using
has_key() function or by using in operator.

d.has_key(400) ==> returns 1 if key is available otherwise returns 0

But has_key() function is available only in Python 2 but not in Python 3. Hence
compulsory we have to use in operator.

if 400 in d:
print(d[400])

How to update dictionaries?

d[key]=value

If the key is not available then a new entry will be added to the dictionary with the
specified key-value pair

If the key is already available then old value will be replaced with new value.

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. d[400]="pavan"
4. print(d)
5. d[100]="sunny"
6. print(d)
7.
8. Output
9. {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
10. {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva', 400: 'pavan'}
11. {100: 'sunny', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva', 400: 'pavan'}

How to delete elements from dictionary?

deld[key]

It deletes entry associated with the specified key.

If the key is not available then we will get KeyError

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. del d[100]
4. print(d)
5. del d[400]
6.
7. Output
8. {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
[Type here]

9. {200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}

10. KeyError: 400

d.clear()

To remove all entries from the dictionary

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. d.clear()
4. print(d)
5.
6. Output
7. {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
8. {}

del d

To delete total dictionary.Now we cannot access d

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. del d
4. print(d)
5.
6. Output
7. {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
8. NameError: name 'd' is not defined

Important functions of dictionary:

1. dict():

To create a dictionary

d=dict() ===>It creates empty dictionary

d=dict({100:"venkat",200:"ravi"}) ==>It creates dictionary with specified elements
d=dict([(100,"venkat"),(200,"shiva"),(300,"ravi")])==>It creates dictionary with the
given list of tuple elements
[Type here]

2. len()

Returns the number of items in the dictionary

3. clear():

To remove all elements from the dictionary

4. get():

To get the value associated with the key

d.get(key)
If the key is available then returns the corresponding value otherwise returns None.It
wont raise any error.

d.get(key,defaultvalue)
If the key is available then returns the corresponding value otherwise returns default
value.

Eg:

d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva
"} print(d[100]) ==>venkat
print(d[400]) ==>KeyError:400
print(d.get(100)) ==venkat
print(d.get(400)) ==>None
print(d.get(100,"Guest")) ==venkat
print(d.get(400,"Guest")) ==>Guest

3. pop():

d.pop(key)
It removes the entry associated with the specified key and returns the corresponding
value
If the specified key is not available then we will get KeyError

Eg:

1) d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2) print(d.pop(100))
3) print(d)
4) print(d.pop(400))
5)
6) Output
[Type here]

7) venkat
8) {200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
9) KeyError: 400

4. popitem():

It removes an arbitrary item(key-value) from the dictionaty and returns it.

Eg:

1) d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2) print(d)
3) print(d.popitem())
4) print(d)
5)
6) Output
7) {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
8) (300, 'shiva')
9) {100: 'venkat', 200: 'ravi'}

If the dictionary is empty then we will get KeyError

d={}
print(d.popitem()) ==>KeyError: 'popitem(): dictionary is empty'

5. keys():

It returns all keys associated eith dictionary

Eg:

1) d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2) print(d.keys())
3) for k in d.keys():
4) print(k)
5)
6) Output
7) dict_keys([100, 200, 300])
8) 100
9) 200
10) 300

6. values():

It returnsall values associated with thedictionary

[Type here]

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d.values())

4. print(v)
5.
6. Output
7. dict_values(['venkat', 'ravi', 'shiva'])
8. venkat
9. ravi
10. shiva

7. items():

It returns list of tuples representing key-value pairs.

[(k,v),(k,v),(k,v)]

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}

3. print(k,"--",v)
4.
5. Output
6. 100 -- venkat
7. 200 -- ravi
8. 300 -- shiva

8. copy():

To create exactly duplicate dictionary(cloned copy)

d1=d.copy();

9. setdefault():

d.setdefault(k,v)
If the key is already available then this function returns the corresponding value.
If the key is not available then the specified key-value will be added as new item to the
dictionary.
[Type here]

Eg:

1. d={100:"venkat",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}

FUNCTIONS
If a group of statements is repeatedly required then it is not recommended to write these
statements everytime seperately.We have to define these statements as a single unit and
we can call that unit any number of times based on our requirement withoutrewriting.
This unit is nothing but function.

The main advantage of functions is code Reusability.

Note: In other languages functions are known as methods,procedures,subroutines etc

Python supports 2 types of functions

1. Built inFunctions
2. User DefinedFunctions

1. Built inFunctions:
The functions which are coming along with Python software automatically,are called built
in functions or pre definedfunctions

Eg:
id()
type()
input()
eval()
etc..

2. User DefinedFunctions:
The functions which are developed by programmer explicitly according to business
requirements ,are called user defined functions.

Syntax to create user defined functions:

def function_name(parameters) :
""" docstring"""
----
-----
return value
[Type here]

Note:While creating functions we can use 2 keywords

1. def (mandatory)
2. return (optional)

Eg 1: Write a function to print Hello

test.py:
1) defwish():
2) print("Hello GoodMorning")
3) wish()
4) wish()
5) wish()

Parameters
Parameters are inputs to the function. If a function contains parameters,then at the time
of calling,compulsory we should provide values otherwise,otherwise we will get error.

Eg: Write a function to take name of the student as input and print wish message by
name.

1. def wish(name):
2. print("Hello",name," Good Morning")
3. wish("Venkat")
4. wish("Ravi")
5.
6.
7. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8. Hello Venkat Good Morning
9. Hello Ravi GoodMorning

Eg: Write a function to take number as input and print its square value

1. def squareIt(number):
2. print("The Square of",number,"is", number*number)
3. squareIt(4)
4. squareIt(5)
5.
6. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7. The Square of 4 is 16
8. The Square of 5 is 25
[Type here]

Return Statement:
Function can take input values as parameters and executes business logic, and returns
output to the caller with return statement.

Q. Write a function to accept 2 numbers as input and return sum.

1. def add(x,y):
2. returnx+y
3. result=add(10,20)
4. print("The sum is",result)
5. print("The sum is",add(100,200))
6.
7.
8. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9. The sum is 30
10. The sum is 300

If we are not writing return statement then default return value is None

Eg:

1. def f1():
2. print("Hello")
3. f1()
4. print(f1())
5.
6. Output
7. Hello
8. Hello
9. None

Q. Write a function to check whether the given number is even or odd?

1. def even_odd(num):
2. ifnum%2==0:
3. print(num,"is EvenNumber")
4. else:
5. print(num,"is OddNumber")
6. even_odd(10)
7. even_odd(15)
8.
9. Output
10. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
11. 10 is Even Number
12. 15 is Odd Number
[Type here]

Q. Write a function to find factorial of given number?

1) def fact(num):
2) result=1
3) whilenum>=1:
4) result=result*num
5) num=num-1
6) returnresult
7) for i in range(1,5):
8) print("The Factorial of",i,"is:",fact(i))
9)
10) Output
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) The Factorial of 1 is : 1
13) The Factorial of 2 is : 2
14) The Factorial of 3 is : 6
15) The Factorial of 4 is : 24

Returning multiple values from a function:

In other languages like C,C++ and Java, function can return atmost one value. But in
Python, a function can return any number of values.

Eg1:

1) def sum_sub(a,b):
2) sum=a+b
3) sub=a-b
4) returnsum,sub
5) x,y=sum_sub(100,50)
6) print("The Sum is :",x)
7) print("The Subtraction is :",y)
8)
9) Output
10) The Sum is : 150
11) The Subtraction is : 50

Eg2:

1) def calc(a,b):
2) sum=a+b
3) sub=a-b
4) mul=a*b
5) div=a/b
6) return sum,sub,mul,div
7) t=calc(100,50)
8) print("The Results are")
[Type here]

9) for i in t:
10) print(i)
11)
12) Output
13) The Results are
14) 150
15) 50
16) 5000
17) 2.0

Types of arguments
def f1(a,b):
------
------
------
f1(10,20)

a,b are formal arguments where as 10,20 are actual arguments

There are 4 types are actual arguments are allowed in Python.

1. positional arguments
2. keyword arguments
3. default arguments
4. Variable lengtharguments

1. positional arguments:

These are the arguments passed to function in correct positional order.

def sub(a,b):
print(a-b)

sub(100,200)
sub(200,100)

The number of arguments and position of arguments must be matched. If we change the
order then result may be changed.

If we change the number of arguments then we will get error.

[Type here]

2. keywordarguments:

We can pass argument values by keyword i.e by parameter name.

Eg:

1. def wish(name,msg):
2. print("Hello",name,msg)
3. wish(name="Venkat",msg="Good Morning")
4. wish(msg="Good Morning",name="Venkat")
5.
6. Output
7. Hello Venkat Good Morning
8. Hello Venkat Good Morning

Here the order of arguments is not important but number of arguments must be matched.

Note:

We can use both positional and keyword arguments simultaneously. But first we have to
take positional arguments and then keyword arguments,otherwise we will get
syntaxerror.

def wish(name,msg):
print("Hello",name,msg)
wish("Venkat","GoodMorning") ==>valid
wish("Venkat",msg="GoodMorning") ==>valid
wish(name="Venkat","GoodMorning") ==>invalid
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keywordargument

3. DefaultArguments:

Sometimes we can provide default values for our positional arguments.

Eg:

1) def wish(name="Guest"):
2) print("Hello",name,"GoodMorning")
3)
4) wish("Venkat")
5) wish()
6)
7) Output
8) Hello Venkat Good Morning
9) Hello Guest Good Morning
[Type here]

If we are not passing any name then only default value will be considered.

***Note:

After default arguments we should not take non default arguments

def wish(name="Guest",msg="Good Morning"): ===>Valid

def wish(name,msg="Good Morning"): ===>Valid
def wish(name="Guest",msg): ==>Invalid

SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

4. Variable lengtharguments:

Sometimes we can pass variable number of arguments to our function,such type of

arguments are called variable length arguments.

We can declare a variable length argument with * symbol as follows

def f1(*n):

We can call this function by passing any number of arguments including zero number.
Internally all these values represented in the form of tuple.

Eg:

1) def sum(*n):
2) total=0
3) for n1 inn:
4) total=total+n1
5) print("TheSum=",total)
6)
7) sum()
8) sum(10)
9) sum(10,20)
10) sum(10,20,30,40)
11)
12) Output
13) The Sum= 0
14) The Sum= 10
15) The Sum= 30
16) The Sum= 100

Note:
We can mix variable length arguments with positional arguments.
[Type here]

Eg:

1) def f1(n1,*s):
2) print(n1)
3) for s1 in
4) print(s1)
s:5)
6) f1(10)
7) f1(10,20,30,40)
8) f1(10,"A",30,"B")
9)
10) Output
11)10
12) 10
13)20
14) 30
15)40
16) 10
17)A
18) 30
19)B

Note:After variable length argument,if we are taking any other arguments then we
should provide values as keyword arguments.

Eg:

1) def f1(*s,n1):
2) for s1 ins:
3) print(s1)
4) print(n1)
5)
6) f1("A","B",n1=10)
7) Output
8) A
9) B
10) 10

f1("A","B",10)==>Invalid
TypeError: f1() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'n1'

Note:We can declare key word variable length arguments also.

For this we have to use **.

def f1(**n):
[Type here]

We can call this function by passing any number of keyword arguments. Internally these
keyword arguments will be stored inside a dictionary.

Eg:

1) def display(**kwargs):
2) for k,v inkwargs.items():
3) print(k,"=",v)
4) display(n1=10,n2=20,n3=30)
5) display(rno=100,name="Venkat",marks=70,subject="Java")
6)
7) Output
8) n1 = 10
9) n2 = 20
10) n3 = 30
11) rno = 100
12) name = Venkat
13) marks = 70
14) subject = Java

Case Study:
def f(arg1,arg2,arg3=4,arg4=8):
print(arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4)

1.f(3,2) ==> 3 2 48

2. f(10,20,30,40) ===>10 20 30 40

3. f(25,50,arg4=100) ==>25 50 4100

4. f(arg4=2,arg1=3,arg2=4)===>3 4 4 2
5. f()===>Invalid
TypeError: f() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'arg1' and 'arg2'

6.f(arg3=10,arg4=20,30,40) ==>Invalid
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument
[After keyword arguments we should not take positional arguments]

7. f(4,5,arg2=6)==>Invalid
TypeError: f() got multiple values for argument 'arg2'

8. f(4,5,arg3=5,arg5=6)==>Invalid
TypeError: f() got an unexpected keyword argument 'arg5'

Types of Variables
Python supports 2 types of variables.

1. GlobalVariables
2. LocalVariables

1. Global Variables

The variables which are declared outside of function are called global variables.
These variables can be accessed in all functions of that module.

Eg:

1) a=10 # global variable

2) def f1():
3) print(a)
4)
5) def f2():
6) print(a)
7)
8) f1()
9) f2()
10)
11) Output
12) 10
13) 10
[Type here]

2. LocalVariables:

The variables which are declared inside a function are called local variables.
Local variables are available only for the function in which we declared it.i.e from outside
of function we cannot access.

Eg:

1) def f1():
2) a=10
3) print(a) #valid
4)
5) def f2():
6) print(a) #invalid
7)
8) f1()
9) f2()
10)
11) NameError: name 'a' is not defined

global keyword:
We can use global keyword for the following 2 purposes:

1. To declare global variable insidefunction

2. Tomakeglobalvariableavailabletothefunctionsothatwecanperformrequired
modifications

Eg 1:

1) a=10
2) def f1():
3) a=777
4) print(a)
5)
6) def f2():
7) print(a)
8)
9) f1()
10) f2()
11)
12) Output
13) 777
14) 10
[Type here]

Eg2:

1) a=10
2) def f1():
3) globala
4) a=777
5) print(a)
6)
7) def f2():
8) print(a)
9)
10) f1()
11)f2()
12)
13)
14) 777
Output15)77

Eg3:7

1) def f1():
2) a=10
3) print(a)
4)
5) def f2():
6) print(a)
7)
8) f1()
9) f2()
10)
11) NameError: name 'a' is not defined

Eg4:

1) def f1():
2) global a
3) a=10
4) print(a)
5)
6) def f2():
7) print(a)
8)
9) f1()
10) f2()
11)
12) Output
13) 10
14) 10
[Type here]

Note:If global variable and local variable having the same name then we can access
global variable inside a function as follows

1) a=10 #globalvariable
2) def f1():
3) a=777 #localvariable
4) print(a)
5)
6) f1()
print(globals()['a'])
8)
7)
10) 777
9) Output

11) 10
Recursive Functions
A function that calls itself is known as Recursive Function.

Eg:
factorial(3)=3*factorial(2)
=3*2*factorial(1)
=3*2*1*factorial(0)
=3*2*1*1
=6
factorial(n)= n*factorial(n-1)

The main advantages of recursive functions are:

1. We can reduce length of the code and improvesreadability

2. We can solve complex problems veryeasily.

Q. Write a Python Function to find factorial of given number with recursion.

Eg:

1) deffactorial(n):
2) ifn==0:
3) result=1
4) else:
5) result=n*factorial(n-1)
6) returnresult
7) print("Factorial of 4 is :",factorial(4))
8) print("Factorial of 5 is :",factorial(5))
9)
10) Output
[Type here]

11) Factorial of 4 is : 24
12) Factorial of 5 is : 120

Anonymous Functions:
Sometimes we can declare a function without any name,such type of nameless functions
are called anonymous functions or lambda functions.

The main purpose of anonymous function is just for instant use(i.e for one time usage)

Normal Function:
We can define by using def keyword.
def squareIt(n):
return n*n

lambda Function:
We can define by using lambda keyword

lambda n:n*n

Syntax of lambda Function:

lambda argument_list : expression

Note:By using Lambda Functions we can write very concise code so that readability of
the program will be improved.

Q. Write a program to create a lambda function to find square of given

number?

1) s=lambda n:n*n
2) print("The Square of 4 is :",s(4))
3) print("The Square of 5 is :",s(5))
4)
5) Output
6) The Square of 4 is : 16
7) The Square of 5 is : 25

Q. Lambda function to find sum of 2 given numbers

1) s=lambda a,b:a+b
2) print("The Sum of 10,20 is:",s(10,20))
[Type here]

3) print("The Sum of 100,200 is:",s(100,200))

4)
5) Output
6) The Sum of 10,20 is: 30
7) The Sum of 100,200 is: 300

Q. Lambda Function to find biggest of given values.

1) s=lambda a,b:a if a>b elseb

2) print("The Biggest of 10,20 is:",s(10,20))
3) print("The Biggest of 100,200 is:",s(100,200))
4)
5) Output
6) The Biggest of 10,20 is: 20
7) The Biggest of 100,200 is: 200

Note:
Lambda Function internally returns expression value and we are not required to write
return statement explicitly.

Note:Sometimes we can pass function as argument to another function. In such cases

lambda functions are best choice.

We can use lambda functions very commonly with filter(),map() and reduce() functions,b'z
these functions expect function as argument.

filter() function:
We can use filter() function to filter values from the given sequence based on some
condition.

filter(function,sequence)

where function argument is responsible to perform conditional check

sequence can be list or tuple or string.

Q. Program to filter only even numbers from the list by using filter()
function?

without lambda Function:

1) def isEven(x):
2) ifx%2==0:
3) returnTrue
4) else:
[Type here]

5) returnFalse
6) l=[0,5,10,15,20,25,30]
7) l1=list(filter(isEven,l))
8) print(l1) #[0,10,20,30]

with lambda Function:

1) l=[0,5,10,15,20,25,30]
2) l1=list(filter(lambda x:x%2==0,l))
3) print(l1) #[0,10,20,30]
4) l2=list(filter(lambda x:x%2!=0,l))
5) print(l2) #[5,15,25]

map() function:
For every element present in the given sequence,apply some functionality and generate
new element with the required modification. For this requirement we should go for
map() function.

Eg: For every element present in the list perform double and generate new list of doubles.

Syntax:

map(function,sequence)

The function can be applied on each element of sequence and generates new sequence.

Eg:Without lambda
1) l=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) def doubleIt(x):
3) return2*x
4) l1=list(map(doubleIt,l))
5) print(l1) #[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

with lambda
1) l=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) l1=list(map(lambda x:2*x,l))
3) print(l1) #[2, 4, 6, 8,10]

-------------------------------------------------------------
[Type here]

Eg 2: To find square of given numbers

1. l=[1,2,3,4,5]
2. l1=list(map(lambda x:x*x,l))
3. print(l1) #[1, 4, 9, 16,25]

We can apply map() function on multiple lists also.But make sure all list should have same
length.

Syntax: map(lambda x,y:x*y,l1,l2))

x is from l1 and y is froml2
Eg:

1. l1=[1,2,3,4]
2. l2=[2,3,4,5]
3. l3=list(map(lambdax,y:x*y,l1,l2))
4. print(l3) #[2, 6, 12,20]

reduce() function:
reduce() function reduces sequence of elements into a single element by applying the
specified function.

reduce(function,sequence)

reduce() function present in functools module and hence we should write import
statement.

Eg:

1) from functools import *

2) l=[10,20,30,40,50]
3) result=reduce(lambdax,y:x+y,l)
4) print(result) # 150

Eg:

1) result=reduce(lambda x,y:x*y,l)
2) print(result) #12000000

Eg:

1) from functools import *

2) result=reduce(lambdax,y:x+y,range(1,101))
3) print(result) #5050
[Type here]

Note:
 In Python every thing is treated asobject.
 Even functions also internally treated as objectsonly.

Eg:

1) def f1():
2) print("Hello")
3) print(f1)
4) print(id(f1))

Output
<function f1 at 0x00419618>
4298264

Function Aliasing:
For the existing function we can give another name, which is nothing but function aliasing.

Eg:

1) def wish(name):
2) print("GoodMorning:",name)
3)
4) greeting=wish
5) print(id(wish))
6) print(id(greeting))
7)
8) greeting('Venkat')
9) wish('Venkat')

Output
4429336
4429336
Good Morning:
Venkat Good
Morning: Venkat

Note:In the above example only one function is available but we can call that function by using
either wish name or greeting name.

If we delete one name still we can access that function by using alias name

Eg:

1) def wish(name):
2) print("GoodMorning:",name)
[Type here]

3)
4) greeting=wish
5)
6) greeting('Venkat')
7) wish('Venkat')
8)
9) del wish
10) #wish('Venkat') ==>NameError: name 'wish' is not defined
11) greeting('Pavan')

Output
Good Morning:
Venkat Good
Morning: Venkat
Good Morning: Pavan

Nested Functions:
We can declare a function inside another function, such type of functions are called Nested
functions.

Eg:

1) def outer():
2) print("outer function started")
3) def inner():
4) print("inner function execution")
5) print("outer function calling inner function")
6) inner()
7) outer()
8) #inner() ==>NameError: name 'inner' is notdefined

Output
outer function started
outer function calling inner function
inner function execution

In the above example inner() function is local to outer() function and hence it is not possible to call
directly from outside of outer() function.

Note:A function can return another function.

Eg:

1) def outer():
2) print("outer function started")
3) def inner():
4) print("inner function execution")
[Type here]

5) print("outer function returning innerfunction")

6) return inner
7) f1=outer()
8) f1()
9) f1()
10) f1()

Output
outer function started
outer function returning inner function
inner functionexecution
inner function execution
inner functionexecution

Q. What is the differenece between the following lines?

f1 =outer
f1 =outer()

 In the first case for the outer() function we are providing another name f1(functionaliasing).
 Butinthesecondcasewecallingouter()function,whichreturnsinnerfunction.Forthatinner
function() we are providing another namef1

Note:We can pass function as argument to another function

Eg:filter(function,sequence)
map(function,sequence)
reduce(function,sequence)
[Type here]

Function Decorators:
Decorator is a function which can take a function as argument and extend its functionality
and returns modified function with extended functionality.

Input Function new(add some functionality)

Decorator
wish()
inner()

Input Function Decorator Output Function with

Function extended Functionality

The main objective of decorator functions is we can extend the functionality of existing
functions without modifies that function.

1) defwish(name):
2) print("Hello",name,"GoodMorning")

This function can always print same output for any name

Hello Venkat Good

Morning Hello Ravi Good
Morning Hello Sunny Good
Morning

But we want to modify this function to provide different message if name is Sunny.
We can do this without touching wish() function by using decorator.

Eg:

1) def decor(func):
2) definner(name):
3) if name=="Sunny":
4) print("Hello Sunny Bad Morning")
5) else:
6) func(name)
7) returninner
8)
9) @decor
10) def wish(name):
11) print("Hello",name,"GoodMorning")
12)
13)wish("Venkat")
14) wish("Ravi")
15)wish("Sunny")
16)
[Type here]

17) Output
18) Hello Venkat Good Morning
19) Hello Ravi Good Morning
20) Hello Sunny Bad Morning

In the above program whenever we call wish() function automatically decor function will
be executed.

How to call same function with decorator and without decorator:

We should not use @decor

1) def decor(func):
2) definner(name):
3) if name=="Sunny":
4) print("Hello Sunny Bad Morning")
5) else:
6) func(name)
7) returninner
8)
9)
10) def wish(name):
11) print("Hello",name,"GoodMorning")
12)
13) decorfunction=decor(wish)
14)
15) wish("Venkat") #decorator wont be executed
16) wish("Sunny") #decorator wont be executed
17)
18) decorfunction("Venkat")#decorator will be executed
19) decorfunction("Sunny")#decorator will be executed
20)
21) Output
22) Hello Venkat Good Morning
23) Hello Sunny Good Morning
24) Hello Venkat Good Morning
25) Hello Sunny Bad Morning

Eg 2:

1) def smart_division(func):
2) def inner(a,b):
3) print("We are dividing",a,"with",b)
4) if b==0:
5) print("OOPS...cannot divide")
6) return
7) else:
8) return func(a,b)
[Type here]

9) return inner
10)
11) @smart_division
12) def division(a,b):
13) return a/b
14)
15) print(division(20,2))
16) print(division(20,0))
17)
18) without decorator we will get Error.In this case output is:
19)
20) 10.0
21) Traceback (most recent call last):
22) File "test.py", line 16, in <module>
23) print(division(20,0))
24) File "test.py", line 13, in division
25) return a/b
26) ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

with decorator we won't get any error. In this case output is:

We are dividing 20 with 2

10.0
We are dividing 20 with 0
OOPS...cannot divide
None

Decorator Chaining
We can define multiple decorators for the same function and all these decorators will
form Decorator Chaining.

Eg:
@decor1
@decor
def num():

For num() function we are applying 2 decorator functions. First inner decorator will work
and then outer decorator.

Eg:

1) def decor1(func):
2) definner():
3) x=func()
4) returnx*x
[Type here]

5) return inner
6)
7) def decor(func):
8) definner():
9) x=func()
10) return2*x
11) return inner
12)
13) @decor1
14) @decor
15) def num():
16) return10
17)
18) print(num())

Demo Program for decorator Chaining:

1) def decor(func):
2) def inner(name):
3) print("First Decor(decor) Function Execution")
4) func(name)
5) return inner
6)
7) def decor1(func):
8) def inner(name):
9) print("Second Decor(decor1) Execution")
10) func(name)
11) return inner
12)
13) @decor1
14) @decor
15) def wish(name):
16) print("Hello",name,"GoodMorning")
17)
18) wish("Venkat")

Generators
Generator is a function which is responsible to generate a sequence of values.
We can write generator functions just like ordinary functions, but it uses yield keyword to
return values.

Generator A Sequence of Values

Function

yield

Eg1:

1) def mygen():
2) yield'A'
3) yield'B'
4) yield'C'
5)
6) g=mygen()
7) print(type(g))
8)
9) print(next(g))
10) print(next(g))
11) print(next(g))
12) print(next(g))
13)
14) Output
15) <class 'generator'>
16) A
17) B
18) C
19) Traceback (most recent call last):
20) File "test.py", line 12, in <module>
21) print(next(g))
22) StopIteration

Eg2:

1) def countdown(num):
2) print("Start Countdown")
3) while(num>0):
4) yield num
5) num=num-1
6)
7) values=countdown(5)
8) for x in values:
[Type here]

9) print(x)
10)
11) Output
12) Start Countdown
13)5
14) 4
15)3
16) 2
17)1

Eg 3: To generate first n numbers:

1) def firstn(num):
2) n=1
3) whilen<=num:
4) yieldn
5) n=n+1
6)
7) values=firstn(5)
8) for x in values:
9) print(x)
10)
11) Output
12) 1
13) 2
14) 3
15) 4
16) 5

We can convert generator into list as follows:

values=firstn(10)
l1=list(values)
print(l1) #[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10]
Eg 4: To generate Fibonacci Numbers...

The next is the sum of previous 2 numbers

Eg: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,...

1) def fib():
2) a,b=0,1
3) whileTrue:
4) yield a
5) a,b=b,a+b
6) for f in fib():
7) iff>100:
8) break
9) print(f)
[Type here]

10)
11) Output
12) 0
13) 1
14) 1
15) 2
16) 3
17) 5
18) 8
19) 13
20) 21
21) 34
22) 55
23) 89

Advantages of Generator Functions:

1. when compared with class level iterators, generators are very easy touse
2. Improves memory utilization andperformance.
3. Generators are best suitable for reading data from large number of largefiles
4. Generators work great for web scraping andcrawling.

Generators vs Normal Collections wrt performance:

1) import random
2) import time
3)
4) names = ['Sunny','Bunny','Chinny','Vinny']
5) subjects = ['Python','Java','Blockchain']
6)
7) defpeople_list(num_people):
8) results =[]
9) for i inrange(num_people):
10) person = {
11) 'id':i,
12) 'name': random.choice(names),
13) 'subject':random.choice(subjects)
14) }
15) results.append(person)
16) returnresults
17)
18) def people_generator(num_people):
19) for i inrange(num_people):
20) person = {
21) 'id':i,
22) 'name': random.choice(names),
23) 'major':random.choice(subjects)
[Type here]

24) }
25) yieldperson
26)
27) '''''t1 = time.clock()
28) people = people_list(10000000)
29) t2 = time.clock()'''
30)
31) t1 = time.clock()
32) people = people_generator(10000000)
33) t2 = time.clock()
34)
35) print('Took {}'.format(t2-t1))

Note:In the above program observe the differnce wrt execution time by using list and generators

Generators vs Normal Collections wrt Memory Utilization:

Normal Collection:
l=[x*x for x in range(10000000000000000)]
print(l[0])

We will get MemoryError in this case because all these values are required to store in the memory.

Generators:
g=(x*x for x in range(10000000000000000))
print(next(g))

Output: 0
We won't get any MemoryError because the values won't be stored at the beginning
[Type here]

Modules
A group of functions, variables and classes saved to a file, which is nothing but module.

Every Python file (.py) acts as a module.

Eg: venkatmath.py

1) x=888
2)
3) def add(a,b):
4) print("TheSum:",a+b)
5)
6) def product(a,b):
7) print("TheProduct:",a*b)

venkatmath module contains one variable and 2 functions.

If we want to use members of module in our program then we should import that module.

import modulename

We can access members by using module name.

modulename.variable
modulename.function()

test.py:

1) import venkatmath
2) print(venkatmath.x)
3) venkatmath.add(10,20)
4) venkatmath.product(10,20)
5)
6) Output
7) 888
8) The Sum: 30
9) The Product: 200
[Type here]

Note:
whenever we are using a module in our program, for that module compiled file will be
generated and stored in the hard disk permanently.

Renaming a module at the time of import (module aliasing):

Eg:
import venkatmath as m

here venkatmath is original module name and m is alias name.

We can access members by using alias name m

test.py:

1) import venkatmath as m
2) print(m.x)
3) m.add(10,20)
4) m.product(10,20)

from ... import:

We can import particular members of module by using from ... import .

The main advantage of this is we can access members directly without using module
name.

Eg:
from venkatmath import
x,add print(x)
add(10,20)
product(10,20)==> NameError: name 'product' is not defined

We can import all members of a module as follows

from venkatmath import *

test.py:

1) from venkatmath import *

2) print(x)
3) add(10,20)
4) product(10,20)
[Type here]

Various possibilties of import:

import modulename
import module1,module2,module3
import module1 as m
import module1 as m1,module2 as m2,module3
from module import member
from module import member1,member2,memebr3
from module import memeber1 as x
from module import *

member aliasing:
from venkatmath import x as y,add as
sum print(y)
sum(10,20)

Once we defined as alias name,we should use alias name only and we should not use
original name

Eg:
from venkatmath import x as y
print(x)==>NameError: name 'x' is not defined

Reloading a Module:
By default module will be loaded only once eventhough we are importing multiple
multiple times.

Demo Program for module reloading:

1) import time
2) from imp import reload
3) import module1
4) time.sleep(30)
5) reload(module1)
6) time.sleep(30)
7) reload(module1)
8) print("This is test file")

Note: In the above program, everytime updated version of module1 will be available to
our program
[Type here]

module1.py:

print("This is from module1")

test.py

1) importmodule1
2) import module1
3) importmodule1
4) import module1
5) print("This is test module")
6)
7) Output
8) This is from module1
9) This is test module

In the above program test module will be loaded only once eventhough we are importing
multiple times.

The problem in this approach is after loading a module if it is updated outside then
updated version of module1 is not available to our program.

We can solve this problem by reloading module explicitly based on our requirement.
We can reload by using reload() function of imp module.

import imp
imp.reload(module1)

test.py:

1) import module1
2) import module1
3) from imp import reload
4) reload(module1)
5) reload(module1)
6) reload(module1)
7) print("This is test module")

In the above program module1 will be loaded 4 times in that 1 time by default and 3 times
explicitly. In this case output is

1) This is frommodule1
2) This is from module1
3) This is frommodule1
4) This is from module1
5) This is test module
[Type here]

The main advantage of explicit module reloading is we can ensure that updated version is
always available to our program.

Finding members of module by using dir() function:

Python provides inbuilt function dir() to list out all members of current module or a
specified module.

dir() ===>To list out all members of current module

dir(moduleName)==>To list out all members of specified module

Eg 1: test.py

1) x=10
2) y=20
3) def f1():
4) print("Hello")
5) print(dir()) # To print all members of current module
6)
7) Output
8) ['annotations', 'builtins', 'cached', 'doc', 'file', 'loader', 'nam
e', 'package', 'spec', 'f1', 'x', 'y']

Eg 2: To display members of particular module:

venkatmath.py:

1) x=888
2)
3) def add(a,b):
4) print("TheSum:",a+b)
5)
6) def product(a,b):
7) print("TheProduct:",a*b)

test.py:

1) import venkatmath
2) print(dir(venkatmath))
3)
4) Output
5) ['builtins', 'cached', 'doc', 'file', 'loader', 'name',
6) ' package ', ' spec ', 'add', 'product', 'x']

Note: For every module at the time of execution Python interpreter will add some special
properties automatically for internal use.
[Type here]

Eg: builtins, cached,'doc, file, loader,name, package,

spec

Based on our requirement we can access these properties also in our program.

Eg: test.py:

1) print(builtins )
2) print(cached )
3) print( doc )
4) print( file )
5) print( loader )
6) print( name )
7) print( package )
8) print( spec )
9)
10) Output
11) <module 'builtins' (built-in)>
12) None
13) None

test.py

1) <_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x00572170>

2) main
3) None
4) None

TheSpecialvariable name :
For every Python program , a special variablenamewill be added internally. This
variable stores information regarding whether the program is executed asan
individual program or as amodule.

If the program executed as an individual program then the value of this variable is
main
If the program executed as a module from some other program then the value of this
variable is the name of module where it is defined.

Hence by usingthis name variable we can identify whether the program executed
directly or as amodule.

Demo program:
module1.py:

1) def f1():
2) if name ==' main':
3) print("The code executed as aprogram")
4) else:
5) print("The code executed as a module from some otherprogram")
6) f1()

test.py:

1) import module1
2) module1.f1()
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py module1.py
5) The code executed as a program

7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) The code executed as a module from some other program
9) The code executed as a module from some other program

Working with math module:

Python provides inbuilt module math.
This module defines several functions which can be used for mathematical operations.
The main important functions are

Packages
It is an encapsulation mechanism to group related modules into a single unit.
package is nothing but folder or directory which represents collection of Python modules.

Any folder or directory containsinit.py file,is considered as a Python package.This file

can beempty.

A package can contains sub packages also.

init.py

File 1

File 1 File 1

init.py init.py

The main advantages of package statement are

1. We can resolve namingconflicts

2. We can identify our componentsuniquely
3. It improves modularity of theapplication

Eg1:

|-test.py
|-pack1
|-module1.py
|-init.py

init.py:

empty file

module1.py:
def f1():
print("Hello this is from module1 present in pack1")

File Handling
As the part of programming requirement, we have to store our data permanently for
future purpose. For this requirement we should go for files.

Files are very common permanent storage areas to store our data.

Types of Files:
There are 2 types of files

1. TextFiles:

Usually we can use text files to store character data

eg: abc.txt

2. BinaryFiles:

Usually we can use binary files to store binary data like images,video files, audio files etc...

Opening a File:
Before performing any operation (like read or write) on the file,first we have to open that
file.For this we should use Python's inbuilt function open()

But at the time of open, we have to specify mode,which represents the purpose of
opening file.

f = open(filename, mode)

The allowed modes in Python are

1. ropenanexistingfileforreadoperation.Thefilepointerispositionedatthe
beginning of the file.If the specified file does not exist then we will get
FileNotFoundError.This is defaultmode.
[Type here]

2. w open an existing file for write operation. If the file already contains some data
thenitwillbeoverridden.Ifthespecifiedfileisnotalreadyavaialblethenthismodewill create
thatfile.

3. a open an existing file for append operation. It won't override existing data.If the
specified file is not already avaialble then this mode will create a newfile.

4. r+Toread andwritedataintothefile.Thepreviousdatain thefilewillnotbe

deleted.The file pointer is placed at the beginning of thefile.

5. w+ To write and read data. It will override existingdata.

6. a+ To append and read data from the file.It wont override existingdata.

7. x To open a file in exclusive creation mode for write operation. If the filealready
exists then we will getFileExistsError.

Note: All the above modes are applicable for text files. If the above modes suffixed with
'b' then these represents for binary files.

Eg: rb,wb,ab,r+b,w+b,a+b,xb

f = open("abc.txt","w")

We are opening abc.txt file for writing data.

Closing a File:
After completing our operations on the file,it is highly recommended to close the file.
For this we have to use close() function.

f.c lose()

Various properties of File Object:

Once we opend a file and we got file object,we can get various details related to that file
by using its properties.

name Name of opened file

mode Mode in which the file is opened
closed Returns boolean value indicates that file is closed or not
readable()Retruns boolean value indicates that whether file is readable or not
writable()Returns boolean value indicates that whether file is writable or not.
[Type here]

Eg:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'w')
2) print("File Name: ",f.name)
3) print("File Mode: ",f.mode)
4) print("Is File Readable: ",f.readable())
5) print("Is File Writable: ",f.writable())
6) print("Is File Closed : ",f.closed)
7) f.close()
8) print("Is File Closed : ",f.closed)
9)
10)
11) Output
12) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
13) File Name: abc.txt
14) File Mode: w
15) Is File Readable: False
16) Is File Writable: True
17) Is File Closed : False
18) Is File Closed : True

Writing data to text files:

We can write character data to the text files by using the following 2 methods.

write(str)
writelines(list of lines)

Eg:

1) f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2) f.write("Venkat\n")
3) f.write("Software\n")
4) f.write("Solutions\n")
5) print("Data written to the file successfully")
6) f.close()

abcd.txt:
Venkat
Software
Solutions

Note: In the above program, data present in the file will be overridden everytime if we
run the program. Instead of overriding if we want append operation then we should open
the file as follows.

f = open("abcd.txt","a")
[Type here]

Eg 2:

1) f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2) list=["sunny\n","bunny\n","vinny\n","chinny"]
3) f.writelines(list)
4) print("List of lines written to the file successfully")
5) f.close()

abcd.txt:
sunny
bunny
vinny
chinny

Note: while writing data by using write() methods, compulsory we have to provide line
seperator(\n),otherwise total data should be written to a single line.

Reading Character Data from text files:

We can read character data from text file by using the following read methods.

read()To read total data from the file

read(n) To read 'n' characters from the file
readline()To read only one line
readlines()To read all lines into a list

Eg 1: To read total data from the file

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) data=f.read()
3) print(data)
4) f.close()
5)
6) Output
7) sunny
8) bunny
9) chinny
10) vinny

Eg 2: To read only first 10 characters:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) data=f.read(10)
3) print(data)
4) f.close()
5)
[Type here]

6) Output
7) Sunny
8) Bunn

Eg 3: To read data line by line:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) line1=f.readline()
3) print(line1,end='')
4) line2=f.readline()
5) print(line2,end='')
6) line3=f.readline()
7) print(line3,end='')
8) f.close()
9)
10) Output
11) sunny
12) bunny
13) chinny

Eg 4: To read all lines into list:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) lines=f.readlines()
3) for line in lines:
4) print(line,end='')
5) f.close()
6)
7) Output
8) sunny
9) bunny
10) chinny
11) vinny

Eg 5:

1) f=open("abc.txt","r")
2) print(f.read(3))
3) print(f.readline())
4) print(f.read(4))
5) print("Remaining data")
6) print(f.read())
7)
8) Output
9) sun
10) ny
11)
12) bunn
13) Remaining data
[Type here]

14) y
15) chinny
16) vinny

The with statement:

The with statement can be used while opening a file.We can use this to group file
operation statements within a block.
The advantage of with statement is it will take care closing of file,after completing all
operations automatically even in the case of exceptions also, and we are not required to
close explicitly.
Eg:

1) with open("abc.txt","w") as f:
2) f.write("Venkat\n")
3) f.write("Software\n")
4) f.write("Solutions\n")
5) print("Is File Closed:",f.closed)
6) print("Is File Closed: ",f.closed)
7)
8) Output
9) Is File Closed: False
10) Is File Closed: True

The seek() and tell() methods:

tell():

==>We can use tell() method to return current position of the cursor(file pointer) from
beginning of the file. [ can you plese telll current cursor position]
The position(index) of first character in files is zero just like string index.

Eg:

1) f=open("abc.txt","r")
2) print(f.tell())
3) print(f.read(2))
4) print(f.tell())
5) print(f.read(3))
6) print(f.tell())

abc.txt:
sunny
bunny
chinny
vinny
[Type here]

Output:
0
su
2
nny
5

seek():

We can use seek() method to move cursor(file pointer) to specified location.

[Can you please seek the cursor to a particular location]

f.seek(offset, fromwhere)

offset represents the number ofpositions

The allowed values for second attribute(from where)are

0--- >From beginning of file(defaultvalue)
1 >From current position
2 >From end of the file

Note:Python 2 supports all 3 values but Python 3 supports only zero.

Eg:

1) data="All Students areSTUPIDS"

2) f=open("abc.txt","w")
3) f.write(data)
4) with open("abc.txt","r+") as f:
5) text=f.read()
6) print(text)
7) print("The Current Cursor Position:",f.tell())
8) f.seek(17)
9) print("The Current Cursor Position:",f.tell())
10) f.write("GEMS!!!")
11) f.seek(0)
12) text=f.read()
13) print("Data AfterModification:")
14) print(text)
15)
16) Output
17)
18) All Students are STUPIDS
19) The Current Cursor Position: 24
20) The Current Cursor Position: 17
21) Data After Modification:

How to check a particular file exists or not?

We can use os library to get information about files in our computer.

os module has path sub module,which contains isFile() function to check whether a
particular file exists or not?
os.path.isfile(fname)

Q. Write a program to check whether the given file exists or not. If it is

available then print its content?

1) import os,sys
2) fname=input("Enter File Name: ")
3) if os.path.isfile(fname):
4) print("Fileexists:",fname)
5) f=open(fname,"r")
6) else:
7) print("File does not exist:",fname)
8) sys.exit(0)
9) print("The content of file is:")
10) data=f.read()
11) print(data)
12)
13) Output
14) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
15) Enter File Name: venkat.txt
16) File does not exist: venkat.txt
17)
18) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
19) Enter File Name: abc.txt
20) File exists: abc.txt
21) The content of file is:
22) All Students are GEMS!!!
23) All Students areGEMS!!!
24) All Students are GEMS!!!
25) All Students areGEMS!!!
26) All Students are GEMS!!!
