1. Introduction to Programming Languages:
● Definition of Programming Language:
● A formal language that prescribes a set of instructions for producing specific
outputs.
● Characteristics of Programming Languages:
● Vocabulary: Set of terms and symbols.
● Grammatical Rules: Syntax defining the structure of programs.
● Common Programming Languages:
● BASIC, Pascal, C, C++, Java, Haskell, Ruby, Python.
2. Introduction to Python:
● Python Overview:
● Cross-platform programming language.
● Downloading and Setting up Python:
● Python is cross-platform, supporting Windows, MacOS, Linux, and more.
● Installation steps: Download Python from python.org, select OS, and follow
installation steps.
● Applications of Python:
● Web and Internet Development.
● Business Applications.
● Games and 3D Graphics.
● Database Access.
● Software Development.
● Desktop GUI Applications.
3. Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE):
● Installing Python using Python IDLE:
● Python IDLE (Integrated Development Environment) is installed along with
Python.
● Provides an interface for coding and running Python programs.
● Running Python in Interactive and Script Mode:
● Interactive mode for quick testing and single commands.
● Script mode for writing and executing complete programs.
● IDLE Features:
● Editing, running, browsing, and debugging Python programs in a single interface.
4. Python Basic Operations:
● Arithmetic Operators:
● + Addition, - Subtraction, Multiplication, / Division, // Integer Division, %
Remainder, Exponentiation.
● Comparison Operators:
● > Greater Than, < Less Than, == Equal To, != Not Equal To, >= Greater Than or
Equal To, <= Less Than or Equal To.
● Logical Operators:
● and Logical AND, or Logical OR, not Logical NOT.
● Assignment Operators:
● = Assignment, += Add and Assign, -= Subtract and Assign, = Multiply and Assign,
/= Divide and Assign.
5. Python Input and Output:
● Using print() for Output:
● Displaying output on the console.
● Taking User Input with input():
● Collecting user input during program execution.
● Type Conversion:
● Converting data types using int(), float(), str().
6. Python Variables and Constants:
● Variables:
● Named memory locations holding data.
● Constants:
● Immutable values that don't change during program execution.
7. Python Data Types:
● Numeric Types:
● int for integers, float for floating-point numbers.
● Boolean Type:
● bool representing True or False.
● Sequence Types:
● str for strings, list for lists, tuple for tuples.
● Set and Mapping Types:
● set for sets, dict for dictionaries.
8. Python Type Conversion:
● Implicit Type Conversion:
● Automatic conversion by Python based on context.
● Explicit Type Conversion:
● Using functions like str(), int(), float() for manual conversion.
9. Python Operators (Comparison and Logical):
● Comparison Operators:
● >, <, ==, !=, >=, <=.
● Logical Operators:
● and, or, not.
10. Python Assignment Operators:
- =, +=, -=, =, /=.
11. Practical Code Applications:
# Calculations
area_rectangle = length breadth
perimeter_rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
# Output
print("Area of the rectangle:", area_rectangle)
print("Perimeter of the rectangle:", perimeter_rectangle)
```
# Calculation
area_triangle = 0.5 base height
# Output
print("Area of the triangle:", area_triangle)
```
12. Summary:
● Key Features of Python:
● Cross-platform, easy syntax, high-level, dynamically typed.
● Different Coding Modes:
● Interactive and Script Mode.
● Comments in Python:
● Using # for single-line comments, '''...''' for multi-line comments.
● Identifier Properties and Naming Rules:
● Case-sensitive, meaningful names, no special symbols.
● Python Input and Output:
● print() for output, input() for user input.
● Type Conversion:
● Implicit and Explicit.
● Variables and Constants:
● Named memory locations and immutable values.
● Python Data Types:
● Numeric, Boolean, Sequence, Set, Mapping.
● Python Operators:
● Arithmetic, Comparison, Logical, Assignment.
# Using append()
my_list.append(5)
print("After append(5):", my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# Using insert()
my_list.insert(2, 6)
print("After insert(2, 6):", my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5]
# Using extend()
my_list.extend([7, 8, 9])
print("After extend([7, 8, 9]):", my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9]
```
# Using remove()
my_list.remove(3)
print("After remove(3):", my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 4, 5]
# Using pop()
popped_element = my_list.pop()
print("After pop():", my_list) # Output: [1, 2, 4]
print("Popped element:", popped_element) # Output: 5
```
Summary:
● Lists are versatile and can contain elements of different types.
● Creation, access, addition, and removal of elements are essential list operations.
● Slicing allows extracting specific ranges or reversing a list.
