Course description

Python is a computer programming language. It is one of the most


popular programming languages suitable for almost any task from
developing general purpose applications to data analysis and high-end
computation. This course is an introduction to Python programming
language that covers topics like data types, control structures, loops,
functions, lists, tuples, dictionaries, file input and output, and classes
and objects.

Programming basics

• Source code: The sequence of instructions in a program.


• Syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that can be used in
a particular programming language.
• Input: a data given to a program to process.
• Output: The messages printed to the user by a program.

Compiler vs Interpreter

Compiler Interpreter
• Faster development • Longer development
• Easier debugging • Harder to debug
• Takes less code to get things • Takes more code to get things
done done
• Slower programs • Faster
• Sometimes as fast as compiled, • Compiled code runs directly on
rarely faster CPU
• Less control over program • More control over program
behavior behavior

COMP 117 - UNIT 1 9


Algorithm vs Flowchart
start
Square root of a number x is y
such that y*y = x Guess g<<x

1. Start with a guess, g


2. If g*g is close enough to x, True
If g*g
stop and say g is the answer > x + e

3. Otherwise make a new guess


False
by averaging g and x/g
4. Using the new guess, repeat g = (g+x/g)2
process until close enough
Print g

stop
