Computer Language (Python)

Introduction to Python:
It is a programming language which is used to give instruction to machines.
Python language is used in many placed due to its vocabulary (keywords/readymade
solutions/libraries) which can be used in any domain for that matter.

Python is so popular for following reason:


 Readability (easiest language)
 Multipurpose
 Object oriented
 Open source
 Portable/Platform Independent
 Libraries

Comparison:

Data in Python:
Data are different types of variables in which the data are stored and for future reference
and coding. Below are few data types used in Python language.

 String:
String is denoted as str. It is a data type in which we can store Text data within
single/double/triple quotes.

 Integer:
Integer is denoted as int. It is a data type in which whole numbers can be stored without
any single/double/triple quotes.

 Float:
Integer is denoted as float. It is a data type in which decimal numbers can be stored
without any single/double/triple quotes
 Boolean:
Integer is denoted as bool. It is a data type in which either True/Fales results can be
stored without any single/double/triple quotes

Data structures in Python:


Data are small and simple in nature, however in real/production environment data will be
complex and huge and there will be few challenges in accessing such data. Below are the challenges
in simple data type.

 Storing the data


 Search for a particular row(data)
 Insert a new row(data)
 Update a particular row(data)
 Delete a particular row(data)
 Sort the data.

Data structures is an efficient way of storing and organising data in such a way so that we as
developer can easily access and manage the data.

There are 2 types in Data Structure, as below:

 List:
 Integer is denoted as list.
 A list is represented by []
 A list can contain values of any data type
 A list allows manipulation (add/delete/or make any kind of changes)
 Indexing is supported in list

 Tuple:
 Integer is denoted as tuple.
 A tuple is represented by ()
 A tuple can contain values of any data type
 A tuple is a read only data structure, which means it is non-manipulative (cannot
add/delete/or make any kind of changes)
 Indexing is supported in tuple
 Set:
 Integer is denoted as set.
 A set is represented by {}
 A set is known for sorting unique/distinct values only, in other words set do not
allow duplicates
 Set is unordered in nature; hence indexing is not supported in Set.
 Set can be used to implement mathematical sets.

 Dictionaries:
 Integer is denoted as dict.
 It is a special data structure
 It follows Key-Value format {key:value, key:value}
 A Key is always immutable type, i.e. (int/float/str/bool/tuple). Using list as key will
result in error
 Value can be of any data type
 A dict is also represented using {K:V}

Few commonly used functions and their Syntax

1. If-Elif-Else:
This is a conditional statement which can be used as dissension making while coding.

Numpy
It is that part of Python which is used for Data science

Agenda:
Introduction:
It is an extension to Python. It is very powerful and basic libraries for mathematical work
which will allow be used for scientific/engineering/ mathematical approach.
