Code With Harry
As the name suggests, while loops execute statements while the condition is True. As soon
as the condition becomes False, the interpreter comes out of the while loop.
Example:
count = 5
while (count > 0):
print(count)
count = count - 1
Output:
5
4
3
2
1
Here, the count variable is set to 5 which decrements after each iteration. Depending upon
the while loop condition, we need to either increment or decrement the counter variable
(the variable count, in our case) or the loop will continue forever.
break statement
The break statement enables a program to skip over a part of the code. A break statement
terminates the very loop it lies within.
Example:-
for i in range(1,101,1):
print(i ,end=" ")
if(i==50):
break
else:
print("Mississippi")
print("Thank you")
output:-
1 Mississippi
2 Mississippi
3 Mississippi
4 Mississippi
5 Mississippi

Python Functions
A function is a block of code that performs a specific task whenever it is called. In bigger
programs, where we have large amounts of code, it is advisable to create or use existing
functions that make the program flow organized and neat.
There are two types of functions:
Built-in functions
User-defined functions
Built-in functions:
These functions are defined and pre-coded in python. Some examples of built-in functions
are as follows:
min(), max(), len(), sum(), type(), range(), dict(), list(), tuple(), set(), print(), etc.
User-defined functions:
We can create functions to perform specific tasks as per our needs. Such functions are
called user-defined functions.
Syntax:
def function_name(parameters):
pass
# Code and Statements
Create a function using the def keyword, followed by a function name, followed by a
paranthesis (()) and a colon(:).
Any parameters and arguments should be placed within the parentheses.
Rules to naming function are similar to that of naming variables.
Any statements and other code within the function should be indented.
Calling a function:-
We call a function by giving the function name, followed by parameters (if any) in the
parenthesis.
Example:-
def name(fname, lname):
print("Hello,", fname, lname)
name("Sam", "Wilson")
Output:-
Hello, Sam Wilson
Keyword arguments:
We can provide arguments with key = value, this way the interpreter recognizes the
arguments by the parameter name. Hence, the the order in which the arguments are
passed does not matter.
Example:
def name(fname, mname, lname):
print("Hello,", fname, mname, lname)
name(mname = "Peter", lname = "Wesker", fname = "Jade")
Output:
Hello, Jade Peter Wesker
Required arguments:
In case we don’t pass the arguments with a key = value syntax, then it is necessary to pass
the arguments in the correct positional order and the number of arguments passed should
match with actual function definition.
Example 1: when number of arguments passed does not match to the actual function
definition.
Example 2: when number of arguments passed matches to the actual function definition.
Output:
Hello, Peter Ego Quill
Variable-length arguments:-
Sometimes we may need to pass more arguments than those defined in the actual
function. This can be done using variable-length arguments.
Arbitrary Arguments:
While creating a function, pass a * before the parameter name while defining the function.
The function accesses the arguments by processing them in the form of tuple.
Example:
def name(*name):
print("Hello,", name[0], name[1], name[2])
name("James", "Buchanan", "Barnes")
Output:
Hello, James Buchanan Barnes
return Statement
The return statement is used to return the value of the expression back to the calling
function.
Example:
Python Lists
Lists are ordered collection of data items.
They store multiple items in a single variable.
List items are separated by commas and enclosed within square brackets [].
Lists are changeable meaning we can alter them after creation.
Example 1:
lst1 = [1,2,2,3,5,4,6]
lst2 = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"]
print(lst1)
print(lst2)
Output:
[1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6]
lst1 = [1,2,2,3,5,4,6]
lst2 = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"]
print(lst1)
print(lst2)
Output:
[1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6]
['Red', 'Green', 'Blue']
Example 2:
As we can see, a single list can contain items of different data types.
Output:
Example program:-
marks = [3, 5, 6, "Harry", True, 6, 7 , 2, 32, 345, 23]
print(marks)
print(type(marks))
print(marks[0])
print(marks[1])
print(marks[2])
print(marks[3])
print(marks[4])
print(marks[5])
print(marks[-3]) # Negative index
print(marks[len(marks)-3]) # Positive index
print(marks[5-3]) # Positive index
print(marks[2]) # Positive index
if "6" in marks:
print("Yes")
else:
print("No")
print(marks[0:7])
print(marks[1:9])
print(marks[1:9:3])
List Methods
list.sort()
This method sorts the list in ascending order. The original list is updated
Example 1:
colors = ["voilet", "indigo", "blue", "green"]
colors.sort()
print(colors)
num = [4,2,5,3,6,1,2,1,2,8,9,7]
num.sort()
print(num)
Output:
['blue', 'green', 'indigo', 'voilet']\
[1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "indigo", "blue", "green"]
colors.sort(reverse=True)
print(colors)
num = [4,2,5,3,6,1,2,1,2,8,9,7]
num.sort(reverse=True)
print(num)
Output:
['voilet', 'indigo', 'green', 'blue']
[9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1]
reverse()
This method reverses the order of the list.
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "indigo", "blue", "green"]
colors.reverse()
print(colors)
num = [4,2,5,3,6,1,2,1,2,8,9,7]
num.reverse()
print(num)
Output:
['green', 'blue', 'indigo', 'voilet']
[7, 9, 8, 2, 1, 2, 1, 6, 3, 5, 2, 4]
index()
This method returns the index of the first occurrence of the list item.
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "green", "indigo", "blue", "green"]
print(colors.index("green"))
num = [4,2,5,3,6,1,2,1,3,2,8,9,7]
print(num.index(3))
Output:
1
3
count()
Returns the count of the number of items with the given value.
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "green", "indigo", "blue", "green"]
print(colors.count("green"))
num = [4,2,5,3,6,1,2,1,3,2,8,9,7]
print(colour.count(2))
Output:
2
3
copy()
Returns copy of the list. This can be done to perform operations on the list without
modifying the original list.
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "green", "indigo", "blue"]
newlist = colors.copy()
print(colors)
print(newlist)
Output:
['voilet', 'green', 'indigo', 'blue']
['voilet', 'green', 'indigo', 'blue']
append():
This method appends items to the end of the existing list.
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "indigo", "blue"]
colors.append("green")
print(colors)
Output:
['voilet', 'indigo', 'blue', 'green']
insert():
This method inserts an item at the given index. User has to specify index and the item to
be inserted within the insert() method.
Example:
colors = ["voilet", "indigo", "blue"]
colors.insert(1, "green") #inserts item at index 1
# updated list: colors = ["voilet", "green", "indigo", "blue"]
# indexs [0] [1] [2] [3]
print(colors)
Output:
['voilet', 'green', 'indigo', 'blue']
extend():
This method adds an entire list or any other collection datatype (set, tuple, dictionary) to
the existing list.
Example 1:
#add a list to a list
colors = ["voilet", "indigo", "blue"]
rainbow = ["green", "yellow", "orange", "red"]
colors.extend(rainbow)
print(colors)
Output:
['voilet', 'indigo', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow', 'orange', 'red']
Output:
['voilet', 'indigo', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow', 'orange', 'red']
Tuples:-
Tuples are ordered collection of data items. They store multiple items in a single variable.
Tuple items are separated by commas and enclosed within round brackets (). Tuples are
unchangeable meaning we can not alter them after creation.
Example 1:
tuple1 = (1,2,2,3,5,4,6)
tuple2 = ("Red", "Green", "Blue")
print(tuple1)
print(tuple2)
Output:
(1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6)
('Red', 'Green', 'Blue')
Example 2:
details = ("Abhijeet", 18, "FYBScIT", 9.8)
print(details)
Output:
('Abhijeet', 18, 'FYBScIT', 9.8)
Example program:-
tup = (1, 2, 76, 342, 32, "green", True)
# tup[0] = 90
print(type(tup), tup)
print(len(tup))
print(tup[0])
print(tup[-1])
print(tup[2])
# print(tup[34])
if 3421 in tup:
print("Yes 342 is present in this tuple")
tup2 = tup[1:4]
print(tup2)
o.p:-
<class 'tuple'> (1, 2, 76, 342, 32, 'green', True)
7
1
True
76
(2, 76, 342)
Manipulating Tuples
Tuples are immutable, hence if you want to add, remove or change tuple items, then
first you must convert the tuple to a list. Then perform operation on that list and
convert it back to tuple.
Example:
countries = ("Spain", "Italy", "India", "England", "Germany")
temp = list(countries)
temp.append("Russia") #add item
temp.pop(3) #remove item
temp[2] = "Finland" #change item
countries = tuple(temp)
print(countries)
Output:
('Spain', 'Italy', 'Finland', 'Germany', 'Russia')
Thus, we convert the tuple to a list, manipulate items of the list using list methods,
then convert list back to a tuple.
However, we can directly concatenate two tuples without converting them to list.
Example:
countries = ("Pakistan", "Afghanistan", "Bangladesh", "Sri Lanka")
countries2 = ("Vietnam", "India", "China")
southEastAsia = countries + countries2
print(southEastAsia)
Output:-
('Pakistan', 'Afghanistan', 'Bangladesh', 'SriLanka', 'Vietnam', 'India', 'China')
Ans:-
import time
t = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
hour = int(time.strftime('%H'))
# hour = int(input("Enter hour: "))
# print(hour)
output:-
good morning sir! #depends on the time you execute program
f-strings in python
It is a new string formatting mechanism introduced by the PEP 498. It is also known
as Literal String Interpolation or more commonly as F-strings (f character preceding
the string literal). The primary focus of this mechanism is to make the interpolation
easier.
When we prefix the string with the letter 'f', the string becomes the f-string itself.
The f-string can be formatted in much same as the str.format() method. The f-string
offers a convenient way to embed Python expression inside string literals for
formatting.
Example
val = 'Geeks'
print(f"{val}for{val} is a portal for {val}.")
name = 'Tushar'
age = 23
print(f"Hello, My name is {name} and I'm {age} years old.")
Output:
Hello, My name is Tushar and I'm 23 years old.
In the above code, we have used the f-string to format the string. It evaluates at
runtime; we can put all valid Python expressions in them.
Example:-
print(f"{2 * 30})"
Output:
60
Program:-
letter = "Hey my name is {1} and I am from {0}"
country = "India"
name = "Harry"
print(letter.format(country, name))
print(f"Hey my name is {name} and I am from {country}")
print(f"We use f-strings like this: Hey my name is {{name}} and I am from {{country}}")
price = 49.09999
txt = f"For only {price:.2f} dollars!"
print(txt)
# print(txt.format())
print(type(f"{2 * 30}"))
output:-
Hey my name is Harry and I am from India
Hey my name is Harry and I am from India
We use f-strings like this: Hey my name is {name} and I am from {country}
For only 49.10 dollars!
<class 'str'>
Docstrings
Python docstrings are the string literals that appear right after the definition of a
function, method, class, or module.
Example
def square(n):
'''Takes in a number n, returns the square of n'''
print(n**2)
square(5)
Here,
'''Takes in a number n, returns the square of n''' is a docstring which will not appear
in output
Output:
25
Here is another example:
This function simply wraps the ``+`` operator, and does not
do anything interesting, except for illustrating what
the docstring of a very simple function looks like.
Parameters
----------
num1 : int
First number to add.
num2 : int
Second number to add.
Returns
-------
int
The sum of ``num1`` and ``num2``.
See Also
--------
subtract : Subtract one integer from another.
Examples
--------
>>> add(2, 2)
4
>>> add(25, 0)
25
>>> add(10, -10)
0
"""
return num1 + num2
Python Comments vs Docstrings
Python Comments
Comments are descriptions that help programmers better understand the intent and
functionality of the program. They are completely ignored by the Python interpreter.
Python docstrings
As mentioned above, Python docstrings are strings used right after the definition of a
function, method, class, or module (like in Example 1). They are used to document
our code.
print(square.__doc__)
Output:
Takes in a number n, returns the square of n
Recursion in python
Recursion is the process of defining something in terms of itself.
Example:-
def factorial(num):
if (num == 1 or num == 0):
return 1
else:
return (num * factorial(num - 1))
# Driver Code
num = 7;
print("Number: ",num)
print("Factorial: ",factorial(num))
Output:-
number: 7
Factorial: 5040
Python Sets
Sets are unordered collection of data items. They store multiple items in a single
variable. Set items are separated by commas and enclosed within curly brackets {}.
Sets are unchangeable, meaning you cannot change items of the set once created.
Sets do not contain duplicate items.
Example:
info = {"Carla", 19, False, 5.9, 19}
print(info)
Output:
{False, 19, 5.9, 'Carla'}
Here we see that the items of set occur in random order and hence they cannot be
accessed using index numbers. Also sets do not allow duplicate values.
Quick Quiz: Try to create an empty set. Check using the type() function whether the
type of your variable is a set
Accessing set items:
Using a For loop
You can access items of set using a for loop.
Example:-
info = {"Carla", 19, False, 5.9}
for item in info:
print(item)
Output:-
False
Carla
19
5.9
Program :-
s = {2, 4, 2, 6}
print(s)
info = {"Carla", 19, False, 5.9, 19}
print(info)
harry = set()
print(type(harry))
for value in info:
print(value)
output:-
{2, 4, 6}
{19, False, 'Carla', 5.9}
<class 'set'>
19
False
Carla
5.9
Joining Sets
Sets in python more or less work in the same way as sets in mathematics. We can
perform operations like union and intersection on the sets just like in mathematics.
Example:
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Tokyo", "Seoul", "Kabul", "Madrid"}
cities3 = cities.union(cities2)
print(cities3)
Output:
{'Tokyo', 'Madrid', 'Kabul', 'Seoul', 'Berlin', 'Delhi'}
Example:
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Tokyo", "Seoul", "Kabul", "Madrid"}
cities.update(cities2)
print(cities)
Output:
{'Berlin', 'Madrid', 'Tokyo', 'Delhi', 'Kabul', 'Seoul'}
II. intersection and intersection_update():
The intersection() and intersection_update() methods prints only items that are
similar to both the sets. The intersection() method returns a new set whereas
intersection_update() method updates into the existing set from another set.
Example:-
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Tokyo", "Seoul", "Kabul", "Madrid"}
cities3 = cities.intersection(cities2)
print(cities3)
Output:-
{'Madrid', 'Tokyo'}
Example :-
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Tokyo", "Seoul", "Kabul", "Madrid"}
cities.intersection_update(cities2)
print(cities)
Output:-
{'Tokyo', 'Madrid'}
III. symmetric_difference and symmetric_difference_update():
The symmetric_difference() and symmetric_difference_update() methods prints only
items that are not similar to both the sets. The symmetric_difference() method
returns a new set whereas symmetric_difference_update() method updates into the
existing set from another set.
Example:
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Tokyo", "Seoul", "Kabul", "Madrid"}
cities3 = cities.symmetric_difference(cities2)
print(cities3)
Output:
{'Seoul', 'Kabul', 'Berlin', 'Delhi'}
Example:
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Tokyo", "Seoul", "Kabul", "Madrid"}
cities.symmetric_difference_update(cities2)
print(cities)
Output:
{'Kabul', 'Delhi', 'Berlin', 'Seoul'}
IV. difference() and difference_update():-
The difference() and difference_update() methods prints only items that are only
present in the original set and not in both the sets. The difference() method returns a
new set whereas difference_update() method updates into the existing set from
another set.
Example:-
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Seoul", "Kabul", "Delhi"}
cities3 = cities.difference(cities2)
print(cities3)
Output:-
{'Tokyo', 'Madrid', 'Berlin'}
Example:-
cities = {"Tokyo", "Madrid", "Berlin", "Delhi"}
cities2 = {"Seoul", "Kabul", "Delhi"}
print(cities.difference(cities2))
Output:-
{'Tokyo', 'Berlin', 'Madrid'}
Python Dictionaries
Dictionaries are ordered collection of data items. They store multiple items in a
single variable. Dictionary items are key-value pairs that are separated by commas
and enclosed within curly brackets {}.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
print(info)
Output:-
{'name': 'Karan', 'age': 19, 'eligible': True}
Accessing Dictionary items:
I. Accessing single values:
Values in a dictionary can be accessed using keys. We can access dictionary values
by mentioning keys either in square brackets or by using get method.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
print(info['name'])
print(info.get('eligible'))
Output:-
Karan
True
II. Accessing multiple values:
We can print all the values in the dictionary using values() method.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
print(info.values())
Output:-
dict_values(['Karan', 19, True])
III. Accessing keys:
We can print all the keys in the dictionary using keys() method.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
print(info.keys())
Output:
dict_keys(['name', 'age', 'eligible'])
IV. Accessing key-value pairs:
We can print all the key-value pairs in the dictionary using items() method.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
print(info.items())
Output:-
dict_items([('name', 'Karan'), ('age', 19), ('eligible', True)])
Dictionary Methods
Dictionary uses several built-in methods for manipulation.They are listed below
update()
The update() method updates the value of the key provided to it if the item already
exists in the dictionary, else it creates a new key-value pair.
Example:
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
print(info)
info.update({'age':20})
info.update({'DOB':2001})
print(info)
Output:
{'name': 'Karan', 'age': 19, 'eligible': True}
{'name': 'Karan', 'age': 20, 'eligible': True, 'DOB': 2001}
Removing items from dictionary:
There are a few methods that we can use to remove items from dictionary.
clear():
The clear() method removes all the items from the list.
Example:
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
info.clear()
print(info)
Output:
{}
pop():
The pop() method removes the key-value pair whose key is passed as a parameter.
Example:
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True}
info.pop('eligible')
print(info)
Output:
{'name': 'Karan', 'age': 19}
popitem():
The popitem() method removes the last key-value pair from the dictionary.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True, 'DOB':2003}
info.popitem()
print(info)
Output:-
{'name': 'Karan', 'age': 19, 'eligible': True}
del:-
we can also use the del keyword to remove a dictionary item.
Example:-
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True, 'DOB':2003}
del info['age']
print(info)
Output:-
{'name': 'Karan', 'eligible': True, 'DOB': 2003}
If key is not provided, then the del keyword will delete the dictionary entirely.
Example:
info = {'name':'Karan', 'age':19, 'eligible':True, 'DOB':2003}
del info
print(info)
Output:-
NameError: name 'info' is not defined
Python allows the else keyword to be used with the for and while loops too. The else
block appears after the body of the loop. The statements in the else block will be
executed after all iterations are completed. The program exits the loop only after the
else block is executed.
Syntax
for counter in sequence:
#Statements inside for loop block
else:
#Statements inside else block
Example:
for x in range(5):
print ("iteration no {} in for loop".format(x+1))
else:
print ("else block in loop")
print ("Out of loop")
Output:
iteration no 1 in for loop
iteration no 2 in for loop
iteration no 3 in for loop
iteration no 4 in for loop
iteration no 5 in for loop
else block in loop
Out of loop
Exception Handling
Exception handling is the process of responding to unwanted or unexpected events
when a computer program runs. Exception handling deals with these events to avoid
the program or system crashing, and without this process, exceptions would disrupt
the normal operation of a program.
Exceptions in Python
Python has many built-in exceptions that are raised when your program encounters
an error (something in the program goes wrong).
When these exceptions occur, the Python interpreter stops the current process and
passes it to the calling process until it is handled. If not handled, the program will
crash.
Python try...except
try….. except blocks are used in python to handle errors and exceptions. The code in
try block runs when there is no error. If the try block catches the error, then the
except block is executed.
Syntax:
try:
#statements which could generate
#exception
except:
#Soloution of generated exception
Example:
try:
num = int(input("Enter an integer: "))
except ValueError:
print("Number entered is not an integer.")
Output:
Enter an integer: 6.022
Number entered is not an integer.
Finally Clause
The finally code block is also a part of exception handling. When we handle
exception using the try and except block, we can include a finally block at the end.
The finally block is always executed, so it is generally used for doing the concluding
tasks like closing file resources or closing database connection or may be ending the
program execution with a delightful message.
Syntax:
try:
#statements which could generate
#exception
except:
#solution of generated exception
finally:
#block of code which is going to
#execute in any situation
The finally block is executed irrespective of the outcome of try……except…..else
blocks
One of the important use cases of finally block is in a function which returns a value.
Example:
try:
num = int(input("Enter an integer: "))
except ValueError:
print("Number entered is not an integer.")
else:
print("Integer Accepted.")
finally:
print("This block is always executed.")
Output 1:
Enter an integer: 19
Integer Accepted.
This block is always executed.
Output 2:
Enter an integer: 3.142
Number entered is not an integer.
This block is always executed.
Program:-
def func1():
try:
l = [1, 5, 6, 7]
i = int(input("Enter the index: "))
print(l[i])
return 1
except:
print("Some error occurred")
return 0
finally:
print("I am always executed")
# print("I am always executed")
x = func1()
print(x)
output:-
Enter the index: 3
7
I am always executed
1
Raising Custom errors
In python, we can raise custom errors by using the raise keyword.
salary = int(input("Enter salary amount: "))
if not 2000 < salary < 5000:
raise ValueError("Not a valid salary")
In the previous tutorial, we learned about different built-in exceptions in Python and
why it is important to handle exceptions. However, sometimes we may need to
create our own custom exceptions that serve our purpose.
class CustomError(Exception):
# code ...
pass
try:
# code ...
except CustomError:
# code...
This is useful because sometimes we might want to do something when a particular
exception is raised. For example, sending an error report to the admin, calling an
api, etc.

levels = [1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 40000, 80000, 160000, 320000]

You can also have multiple else statements on the same line:
Example
One line if else statement, with 3 conditions:
a = 330
b = 330
print("A") if a > b else print("=") if a == b else print("B")
Another Example
result = value_if_true if condition else value_if_false
if condition:
result = value_if_true
else:
result = value_if_false
Conclusion
The shorthand syntax can be a convenient way to write simple if-else statements,
especially when you want to assign a value to a variable based on a condition.
However, it's not suitable for more complex situations where you need to execute multiple
statements or perform more complex logic. In those cases, it's best to use the full if-else
syntax.
# Loop over a list and print the index and value of each element
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'mango']
for index, fruit in enumerate(fruits):
print(index, fruit)
0 apple
1 banana
2 mango
As you can see, the enumerate function returns a tuple containing the index and value of
each element in the sequence. You can use the for loop to unpack these tuples and assign
them to variables, as shown in the example above.
# Loop over a list and print the index (starting at 1) and value of each element
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'mango']
for index, fruit in enumerate(fruits, start=1):
print(index, fruit)
The enumerate function is often used when you need to loop over a sequence and
perform some action with both the index and value of each element. For example, you
might use it to loop over a list of strings and print the index and value of each string in a
formatted way:
In addition to lists, you can use the enumerate function with any other sequence type in
Python, such as tuples and strings. Here's an example with a tuple:
# Loop over a tuple and print the index and value of each element
colors = ('red', 'green', 'blue')
for index, color in enumerate(colors):
print(index, color)
# Loop over a string and print the index and value of each character
s = 'hello'
for index, c in enumerate(s):
print(index, c)
Virtual Environment
A virtual environment is a tool used to isolate specific Python environments on a
single machine, allowing you to work on multiple projects with different
dependencies and packages without conflicts. This can be especially useful when
working on projects that have conflicting package versions or packages that are not
compatible with each other.
To create a virtual environment in Python, you can use the venv module that comes
with Python. Here's an example of how to create a virtual environment and activate
it:
To deactivate the virtual environment, you can use the deactivate command:
To create a requirements.txt file, you can use the pip freeze command, which
outputs a list of installed packages and their versions. For example:
To import a module in Python, you use the import statement followed by the name of
the module. For example, to import the math module, which contains a variety of
mathematical functions, you would use the following statement:
import math
Once a module is imported, you can use any of the functions and variables defined in
the module by using the dot notation. For example, to use the sqrt function from the
math module, you would write:
import math
result = math.sqrt(9)
print(result) # Output: 3.0
from keyword
You can also import specific functions or variables from a module using the from
keyword. For example, to import only the sqrt function from the math module, you
would write:
result = sqrt(9)
print(result) # Output: 3.0
You can also import multiple functions or variables at once by separating them with
a comma:
result = sqrt(9)
print(result) # Output: 3.0
result = sqrt(9)
print(result) # Output: 3.0
result = m.sqrt(9)
print(result) # Output: 3.0
import math
print(dir(math))
This will output a list of all the names defined in the math module, including
functions like sqrt and pi, as well as other variables and constants.
In summary, the import statement in Python allows you to access the functions and
variables defined in a module from within your current script. You can import the
entire module, specific functions or variables, or use the * wildcard to import
everything. You can also use the as keyword to rename a module, and the dir
function to view the contents of a module.
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
In this example, the main function contains the code that should be run when the
script is run directly. The if statement at the bottom checks whether
the __name__ variable is equal to __main__. If it is, the main function is called.
Why is it useful?
This idiom is useful because it allows you to reuse code from a script by importing it
as a module into another script, without running the code in the original script. For
example, consider the following script:
def main():
print("Running script directly")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
If you run this script directly, it will output "Running script directly". However, if you
import it as a module into another script and call the main function from the
imported module, it will not output anything:
import script
Is it a necessity?
It's important to note that the if __name__ == "__main__" idiom is not required to run
a Python script. You can still run a script without it by simply calling the functions or
running the code you want to execute directly. However, the if __name__ ==
"__main__" idiom can be a useful tool for organizing and separating code that should
be run directly from code that should be imported and used as a module.
In summary, the if __name__ == "__main__" idiom is a common pattern used in
Python scripts to determine whether the script is being run directly or being
imported as a module into another script. It allows you to reuse code from a script by
importing it as a module into another script, without running the code in the original
script.
os Module in Python
The os module in Python is a built-in library that provides functions for interacting
with the operating system. It allows you to perform a wide variety of tasks, such as
reading and writing files, interacting with the file system, and running system
commands.
Here are some common tasks you can perform with the os module:
Reading and writing files The os module provides functions for opening, reading, and
writing files. For example, to open a file for reading, you can use the open function:
import os
import os
import os
import os
import os
import os
# Run the "ls" command and get the output as a file-like object
f = os.popen("ls")
Decoding:
if the word contains less than 3 characters, reverse it else: remove 3 random
characters from start and end. Now remove the last letter and append it to the
beginning
else:
nwords = []
for word in words:
if(len(word)>=3):
stnew = word[3:-3]
stnew = stnew[-1] + stnew[:-1]
nwords.append(stnew)
else:
nwords.append(word[::-1])
print(" ".join(nwords))
x=5
y = "Hello, World!"
Now, let's talk about local and global variables.
A local variable is a variable that is defined within a function and is only accessible
within that function. It is created when the function is called and is destroyed when
the function returns.
On the other hand, a global variable is a variable that is defined outside of a function
and is accessible from within any function in your code.
x = 10 # global variable
def my_function():
y = 5 # local variable
print(y)
my_function()
print(x)
print(y) # this will cause an error because y is a local variable and is not accessible
outside of the function
In this example, we have a global variable x and a local variable y. We can access
the value of the global variable x from within the function, but we cannot access the
value of the local variable y outside of the function.
The global keyword is used to declare that a variable is a global variable and should
be accessed from the global scope. Here's an example:
x = 10 # global variable
def my_function():
global x
x = 5 # this will change the value of the global variable x
y = 5 # local variable
my_function()
print(x) # prints 5
print(y) # this will cause an error because y is a local variable and is not accessible
outside of the function
In this example, we used the global keyword to declare that we want to modify the
global variable x from within the function. As a result, the value of x is changed to 5.
It's important to note that it's generally considered good practice to avoid modifying
global variables from within functions, as it can lead to unexpected behavior and
make your code harder to debug.
I hope this tutorial has helped clarify the differences between local and global
variables and how to use the global keyword in Python. Thank you for watching!
Python provides several ways to manipulate files. Today, we will discuss how to
handle files in Python.
Opening a File
Before we can perform any operations on a file, we must first open it. Python
provides the open() function to open a file. It takes two arguments: the name of the
file and the mode in which the file should be opened. The mode can be 'r' for
reading, 'w' for writing, or 'a' for appending.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'r')
By default, the open() function returns a file object that can be used to read from or
write to the file, depending on the mode.
Modes in file
There are various modes in which we can open files.
1. read (r): This mode opens the file for reading only and gives an error if the file
does not exist. This is the default mode if no mode is passed as a parameter.
2. write (w): This mode opens the file for writing only and creates a new file if
the file does not exist.
3. append (a): This mode opens the file for appending only and creates a new
file if the file does not exist.
4. create (x): This mode creates a file and gives an error if the file already exists.
5. text (t): Apart from these modes we also need to specify how the file must be
handled. t mode is used to handle text files. t refers to the text mode. There is
no difference between r and rt or w and wt since text mode is the default. The
default mode is 'r' (open for reading text, synonym of 'rt' ).
6. binary (b): used to handle binary files (images, pdfs, etc).
Reading from a File
Once we have a file object, we can use various methods to read from the file.
The read() method reads the entire contents of the file and returns it as a string.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'r')
contents = f.read()
print(contents)
Writing to a File
To write to a file, we first need to open it in write mode.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'w')
We can then use the write() method to write to the file.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'w')
f.write('Hello, world!')
Keep in mind that writing to a file will overwrite its contents. If you want to append to
a file instead of overwriting it, you can open it in append mode.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'a')
f.write('Hello, world!')
Closing a File
It is important to close a file after you are done with it. This releases the resources
used by the file and allows other programs to access it.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'r')
# ... do something with the file
f.close()
The 'with' statement
Alternatively, you can use the with statement to automatically close the file after you
are done with it.
readlines() method
The readline() method reads a single line from the file. If we want to read multiple
lines, we can use a loop.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'r')
while True:
line = f.readline()
if not line:
break
print(line)
The readlines() method reads all the lines of the file and returns them as a list of
strings.
writelines() method
The writelines() method in Python writes a sequence of strings to a file. The
sequence can be any iterable object, such as a list or a tuple.
f = open('myfile.txt', 'w')
lines = ['line 1\n', 'line 2\n', 'line 3\n']
f.writelines(lines)
f.close()
This will write the strings in the lines list to the file myfile.txt. The \n characters are
used to add newline characters to the end of each string.
Keep in mind that the writelines() method does not add newline characters between
the strings in the sequence. If you want to add newlines between the strings, you
can use a loop to write each string separately:
f = open('myfile.txt', 'w')
lines = ['line 1', 'line 2', 'line 3']
for line in lines:
f.write(line + '\n')
f.close()
It is also a good practice to close the file after you are done with it
seek() function
The seek() function allows you to move the current position within a file to a specific
point. The position is specified in bytes, and you can move either forward or
backward from the current position.
For example:
Lambda functions can have multiple arguments, just like regular functions. Here is
an example of a lambda function with multiple arguments:
Lambda functions are often used in conjunction with higher-order functions, such as
map, filter, and reduce which we will look into later.
map
The map function applies a function to each element in a sequence and returns a
new sequence containing the transformed elements. The map function has the
following syntax:
map(function, iterable)
The function argument is a function that is applied to each element in the iterable
argument. The iterable argument can be a list, tuple, or any other iterable object.
# List of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
filter
The filter function filters a sequence of elements based on a given predicate (a
function that returns a boolean value) and returns a new sequence containing only
the elements that meet the predicate. The filter function has the following
syntax:
filter(predicate, iterable)
The predicate argument is a function that returns a boolean value and is applied to
each element in the iterable argument. The iterable argument can be a list, tuple, or
any other iterable object.
# List of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
reduce(function, iterable)
The function argument is a function that takes in two arguments and returns a single
value. The iterable argument is a sequence of elements, such as a list or tuple.
The reduce function applies the function to the first two elements in the iterable and
then applies the function to the result and the next element, and so on. The reduce
function returns the final result.
# List of numbers
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
In the above example, the reduce function applies the lambda function lambda x, y:
x + y to the elements in the numbers list. The lambda function adds the two
arguments x and y and returns the result. The reduce function applies the lambda
function to the first two elements in the list (1 and 2), then applies the function to
the result (3) and the next element (3), and so on. The final result is the sum of all
the elements in the list, which is 15.
It is important to note that the reduce function requires the functools module to be
imported in order to use it.
The is operator compares the identity of two objects, while the == operator
compares the values of the objects. This means that is will only return True if the
objects being compared are the exact same object in memory, while == will return
True if the objects have the same value.
For example:
a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [1, 2, 3]
print(a == b) # True
print(a is b) # False
In this case, a and b are two separate lists that have the same values, so == returns
True. However, a and b are not the same object in memory, so is returns False.
One important thing to note is that, in Python, strings and integers are immutable,
which means that once they are created, their value cannot be changed. This means
that, for strings and integers, is and == will always return the same result:
a = "hello"
b = "hello"
print(a == b) # True
print(a is b) # True
a=5
b=5
print(a == b) # True
print(a is b) # True
In these cases, a and b are both pointing to the same object in memory, so is and
== both return True.
For mutable objects such as lists and dictionaries, is and == can behave differently.
In general, you should use == when you want to compare the values of two objects,
and use is when you want to check if two objects are the same object in memory.
Introduction to Object-oriented
programming
Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming in Python: In programming languages,
mainly there are two approaches that are used to write program or code.
A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines the properties and
methods that an object of that class will have. Properties are the data or state of an
object, and methods are the actions or behaviors that an object can perform.
An object is an instance of a class, and it contains its own data and methods. For
example, you could create a class called "Person" that has properties such as name
and age, and methods such as speak() and walk(). Each instance of the Person class
would be a unique object with its own name and age, but they would all have the
same methods to speak and walk.
One of the key features of OOP in Python is encapsulation, which means that the
internal state of an object is hidden and can only be accessed or modified through
the object's methods. This helps to protect the object's data and prevent it from
being modified in unexpected ways.
Another key feature of OOP in Python is inheritance, which allows new classes to be
created that inherit the properties and methods of an existing class. This allows for
code reuse and makes it easy to create new classes that have similar functionality to
existing classes.
Creating a Class:
Let us now create a class using the class keyword.
class Details:
name = "Rohan"
age = 20
Creating an Object:
Object is the instance of the class used to access the properties of the class Now lets
create an object of the class.
Example:
obj1 = Details()
Now we can print values:
Example:
class Details:
name = "Rohan"
age = 20
obj1 = Details()
print(obj1.name)
print(obj1.age)
Output:
Rohan
20
An example program:-
class Person:
name = "Harry"
occupation = "Software Developer"
networth = 10
def info(self):
print(f"{self.name} is a {self.occupation}")
a = Person()
b = Person()
c = Person()
a.name = "Shubham"
a.occupation = "Accountant"
b.name = "Nitika"
b.occupation = "HR"
# print(a.name, a.occupation)
a.info()
b.info()
c.info()
Constructors
A constructor is a special method in a class used to create and initialize an object of
a class. There are different types of constructors. Constructor is invoked
automatically when an object of a class is created.
1. Parameterized Constructor
2. Default Constructor
Parameterized Constructor in Python
When the constructor accepts arguments along with self, it is known as
parameterized constructor.
These arguments can be used inside the class to assign the values to the data
members.
Example:
class Details:
def __init__(self, animal, group):
self.animal = animal
self.group = group
Example:
class Details:
def __init__(self):
print("animal Crab belongs to Crustaceans group")
obj1=Details()
Output:
animal Crab belongs to Crustaceans group
Python Decorators
Python decorators are a powerful and versatile tool that allow you to modify the
behavior of functions and methods. They are a way to extend the functionality of a
function or method without modifying its source code.
@decorator_function
def my_function():
pass
The @decorator_function notation is just a shorthand for the following code:
def my_function():
pass
my_function = decorator_function(my_function)
Decorators are often used to add functionality to functions and methods, such as
logging, memoization, and access control.
import logging
def log_function_call(func):
def decorated(*args, **kwargs):
logging.info(f"Calling {func.__name__} with args={args}, kwargs={kwargs}")
result = func(*args, **kwargs)
logging.info(f"{func.__name__} returned {result}")
return result
return decorated
@log_function_call
def my_function(a, b):
return a + b
In this example, the log_function_call decorator takes a function as an argument and
returns a new function that logs the function call before and after the original
function is called.
Conclusion
Decorators are a powerful and flexible feature in Python that can be used to add
functionality to functions and methods without modifying their source code. They are
a great tool for separating concerns, reducing code duplication, and making your
code more readable and maintainable.
Getters
Getters in Python are methods that are used to access the values of an object's
properties. They are used to return the value of a specific property, and are typically
defined using the @property decorator. Here is an example of a simple class with a
getter method:
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, value):
self._value = value
@property
def value(self):
return self._value
In this example, the MyClass class has a single property, _value, which is initialized
in the init method. The value method is defined as a getter using the @property
decorator, and is used to return the value of the _value property.
To use the getter, we can create an instance of the MyClass class, and then access
the value property as if it were an attribute:
Setters
It is important to note that the getters do not take any parameters and we cannot
set the value through getter method.For that we need setter method which can be
added by decorating method with @property_name.setter
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, value):
self._value = value
@property
def value(self):
return self._value
@value.setter
def value(self, new_value):
self._value = new_value
We can use setter method like this:
Program example:-
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, value):
self._value = value
def show(self):
print(f"Value is {self._value}")
@property
def ten_value(self):
return 10* self._value
@ten_value.setter
def ten_value(self, new_value):
self._value = new_value/10
obj = MyClass(10)
obj.ten_value = 67
print(obj.ten_value)
obj.show()
Inheritance in python
When a class derives from another class. The child class will inherit all the public and
protected properties and methods from the parent class. In addition, it can have its
own properties and methods,this is called as inheritance.
Types of inheritance:
1. Single inheritance
2. Multiple inheritance
3. Multilevel inheritance
4. Hierarchical Inheritance
5. Hybrid Inheritance
We will see the explaination and example of each type of inheritance in the later
tutorials
Program example:-
class Employee:
def __init__(self, name, id):
self.name = name
self.id = id
def showDetails(self):
print(f"The name of Employee: {self.id} is {self.name}")
class Programmer(Employee):
def showLanguage(self):
print("The default langauge is Python")
Access Specifiers/Modifiers
Access specifiers or access modifiers in python programming are used to limit the
access of class variables and class methods outside of class while implementing the
concepts of inheritance.
Example program:-
class Student:
def __init__(self):
self._name = "Harry"
def _funName(self): # protected method
return "CodeWithHarry"
obj = Student()
obj1 = Subject()
print(dir(obj))
import random
return 1
comp = random.randint(0, 2)
user = int(input("0 for Snake, 1 for water and 2 for Gun:\n"))
if(score == 0):
print("Its a draw")
elif (score == -1):
print("You Lose")
else:
print("You Won")
o.p:-
0 for Snake, 1 for water and 2 for Gun:
0
You: 0
Computer: 0
Its a draw
Static methods in Python are methods that belong to a class rather than an
instance of the class. They are defined using the @staticmethod decorator and do
not have access to the instance of the class (i.e. self). They are called on the class
itself, not on an instance of the class. Static methods are often used to create utility
functions that don't need access to instance data.
class Math:
@staticmethod
def add(a, b):
return a + b
result = Math.add(1, 2)
print(result) # Output: 3
In this example, the add method is a static method of the Math class. It takes two
parameters a and b and returns their sum. The method can be called on the class
itself, without the need to create an instance of the class.
Program :-
class Math:
def __init__(self, num):
self.num = num
@staticmethod
def add(a, b):
return a + b
# result = Math.add(1, 2)
# print(result) # Output: 3
a = Math(5)
print(a.num)
a.addtonum(6)
print(a.num)
print(Math.add(7, 2))

Class Variables
Class variables are defined at the class level and are shared among all instances of
the class. They are defined outside of any method and are usually used to store
information that is common to all instances of the class. For example, a class
variable can be used to store the number of instances of a class that have been
created.
class MyClass:
class_variable = 0
def __init__(self):
MyClass.class_variable += 1
def print_class_variable(self):
print(MyClass.class_variable)
obj1 = MyClass()
obj2 = MyClass()
obj1.print_class_variable() # Output: 2
obj2.print_class_variable() # Output: 2
In the example above, the class_variable is shared among all instances of the class
MyClass. When we create new instances of MyClass, the value of class_variable is
incremented. When we call the print_class_variable method on obj1 and obj2, we get
the same value of class_variable.
Instance Variables
Instance variables are defined at the instance level and are unique to each instance
of the class. They are defined inside the init method and are usually used to store
information that is specific to each instance of the class. For example, an instance
variable can be used to store the name of an employee in a class that represents an
employee.
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def print_name(self):
print(self.name)
obj1 = MyClass("John")
obj2 = MyClass("Jane")
Summary
In summary, class variables are shared among all instances of a class and are used
to store information that is common to all instances. Instance variables are unique to
each instance of a class and are used to store information that is specific to each
instance. Understanding the difference between class variables and instance
variables is crucial for writing efficient and maintainable code in Python.
It's also worth noting that, in python, class variables are defined outside of any
methods and don't need to be explicitly declared as class variable. They are defined
in the class level and can be accessed via classname.varibale_name or
self.class.variable_name. But instance variables are defined inside the methods and
need to be explicitly declared as instance variable by using self.variable_name.
Program :-
class Employee:
companyName = "Apple"
noOfEmployees = 0

o.p:-
The name of the Employee is Harry and the raise amount in 1 sized Apple India is 0.3
Google
The name of the Employee is Rohan and the raise amount in 2 sized Nestle is 0.02
Sample problem:-
Write a Library class with no_of_books and books as two instance variables. Write a
program to create a library from this Library class and show how you can print all
books, add a book and get the number of books using different methods. Show that
your program doesnt persist the books after the program is stopped!
class Library:
def __init__(self):
self.noBooks = 0
self.books = []
l1 = Library()
l1.addBook("Harry Potter1")
l1.addBook("Harry Potter2")
l1.addBook("Harry Potter3")
l1.showInfo()
o.p:-
The library has 3 books. The books are
Harry Potter1
Harry Potter2
Harry Potter3
class ExampleClass:
@classmethod
def factory_method(cls, argument1, argument2):
return cls(argument1, argument2)
In this example, the "factory_method" is a class method that takes two arguments,
"argument1" and "argument2." It creates a new instance of the class "ExampleClass"
using the "cls" keyword, and returns the new instance to the caller.
It's important to note that class methods cannot modify the class in any way. If you
need to modify the class, you should use a class level variable instead.
Conclusion
Python class methods are a powerful tool for defining functions that operate on the
class as a whole, rather than on a specific instance of the class. They are useful for
creating factory methods, alternative constructors, and other types of methods that
operate at the class level. With the knowledge of how to define and use class
methods, you can start writing more complex and organized code in Python.
Program to learn:-
class Employee:
company = "Apple"
def show(self):
@classmethod
cls.company = newCompany
e1 = Employee()
e1.name = "Harry"
e1.show()
e1.changeCompany("Tesla")
e1.show()
print(Employee.company)
o.p:-
Tesla
However, there are times when you may want to create an object in a different way,
or with different initial values, than what is provided by the default constructor. This
is where class methods can be used as alternative constructors.
A class method belongs to the class rather than to an instance of the class. One
common use case for class methods as alternative constructors is when you want to
create an object from data that is stored in a different format, such as a string or a
dictionary. For example, consider a class named "Person" that has two attributes:
"name" and "age". The default constructor for the class might look like this:
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
But what if you want to create a Person object from a string that contains the
person's name and age, separated by a comma? You can define a class method
named "from_string" to do this:
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
@classmethod
def from_string(cls, string):
name, age = string.split(',')
return cls(name, int(age))
Now you can create a Person object from a string like this:
person = Person.from_string("John Doe, 30")
Another common use case for class methods as alternative constructors is when you
want to create an object with a different set of default values than what is provided
by the default constructor. For example, consider a class named "Rectangle" that
has two attributes: "width" and "height". The default constructor for the class might
look like this:
class Rectangle:
def __init__(self, width, height):
self.width = width
self.height = height
But what if you want to create a Rectangle object with a default width of 10 and a
default height of 5? You can define a class method named "square" to do this:
class Rectangle:
def __init__(self, width, height):
self.width = width
self.height = height
@classmethod
def square(cls, size):
return cls(size, size)
Now you can create a square rectangle like this:
rectangle = Rectangle.square(10)
program:-
class Employee:
def __init__(self, name, salary):
self.name = name
self.salary = salary
@classmethod
def fromStr(cls, string):
return cls(string.split("-")[0], int(string.split("-")[1]))
e1 = Employee("Harry", 12000)
print(e1.name)
print(e1.salary)
string = "John-12000"
e2 = Employee.fromStr(string)
print(e2.name)
print(e2.salary)
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
@classmethod
def from_string(cls, string):
name, age = string.split(',')
return cls(name, int(age))
o.p:-
Harry
12000
John
12000
John Doe 30
class str(object)
| str(object='') -> str
| str(bytes_or_buffer[, encoding[, errors]]) -> str
|
| Create a new string object from the given object. If encoding or
| errors is specified, then the object must expose a data buffer
| that will be decoded using the given encoding and error handler.
| Otherwise, returns the result of object.__str__() (if defined)
| or repr(object).
| encoding defaults to sys.getdefaultencoding().
| errors defaults to 'strict'.
In conclusion, dir(), dict, and help() are useful built-in functions in Python that can be
used to get information about objects. They are valuable tools for introspection and
discovery.
Program:-
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
self.version = 1
p = Person("John", 30)
print(p.__dict__)
print(help(Person))
When a class inherits from a parent class, it can override or extend the methods
defined in the parent class. However, sometimes you might want to use the parent
class method in the child class. This is where the super() keyword comes in handy.
class ParentClass:
def parent_method(self):
print("This is the parent method.")
class ChildClass(ParentClass):
def child_method(self):
print("This is the child method.")
super().parent_method()
child_object = ChildClass()
child_object.child_method()
Output:
This is the child method.
This is the parent method.
In this example, we have a ParentClass with a parent_method and a ChildClass that
inherits from ParentClass and overrides the child_method. When the child_method is
called, it first prints "This is the child method." and then calls the parent_method
using the super() keyword.
The super() keyword is also useful when a class inherits from multiple parent classes.
In this case, you can specify the parent class from which you want to call the
method.
Here's an example:
class ParentClass1:
def parent_method(self):
print("This is the parent method of ParentClass1.")
class ParentClass2:
def parent_method(self):
print("This is the parent method of ParentClass2.")
child_object = ChildClass()
child_object.child_method()
Output:
This is the child method.
This is the parent method of ParentClass1.
In this example, the ChildClass inherits from both ParentClass1 and ParentClass2.
The child_method calls the parent_method of the first parent class using the super()
keyword.
In conclusion, the super() keyword is a useful tool in Python when you want to call a
parent class method in a child class. It can be used in inheritance scenarios with a
single parent class or multiple parent classes.
Magic methods, also known as “dunders” from the double underscores surrounding
their names, are powerful tools that allow you to customize the behaviour of your
classes. They are used to implement special methods such as the addition,
subtraction and comparison operators, as well as some more advanced techniques
like descriptors and properties.
Let’s take a look at some of the most commonly used magic methods in Python.
__init__ method
The init method is a special method that is automatically invoked when you create a
new instance of a class. This method is responsible for setting up the object’s initial
state, and it is where you would typically define any instance variables that you
need. Also called "constructor", we have discussed this method already
__str__ and __repr__ methods
The str and repr methods are both used to convert an object to a string
representation. The str method is used when you want to print out an object, while
the repr method is used when you want to get a string representation of an object
that can be used to recreate the object.
__len__ method
The len method is used to get the length of an object. This is useful when you want
to be able to find the size of a data structure, such as a list or dictionary.
__call__ method
The call method is used to make an object callable, meaning that you can pass it as
a parameter to a function and it will be executed when the function is called. This is
an incredibly powerful tool that allows you to create objects that behave like
functions.
These are just a few of the many magic methods available in Python. They are
incredibly powerful tools that allow you to customize the behaviour of your objects,
and can make your code much cleaner and easier to understand. So if you’re looking
for a way to take your Python code to the next level, take some time to learn about
these magic methods.
class Shape:
def area(self):
pass
In this base class, the area method is defined, but does not have any
implementation. If you want to create a derived class that represents a circle, you
can override the area method and provide an implementation that calculates the
area of a circle:
class Circle(Shape):
def __init__(self, radius):
self.radius = radius
def area(self):
return 3.14 * self.radius * self.radius
In this example, the Circle class inherits from the Shape class, and overrides the area
method. The new implementation of the area method calculates the area of a circle,
based on its radius.
It's important to note that when you override a method, the new implementation
must have the same method signature as the original method. This means that the
number and type of arguments, as well as the return type, must be the same.
Another way to customize the behavior of a class is to call the base class method
from the derived class method. To do this, you can use the super function. The super
function allows you to call the base class method from the derived class method, and
can be useful when you want to extend the behavior of the base class method,
rather than replace it.
class Shape:
def area(self):
print("Calculating area...")
In this base class, the area method prints a message indicating that the area is being
calculated. If you want to create a derived class that represents a circle, and you
also want to print a message indicating the type of shape, you can use the super
function to call the base class method, and add your own message:
class Circle(Shape):
def __init__(self, radius):
self.radius = radius
def area(self):
print("Calculating area of a circle...")
super().area()
return 3.14 * self.radius * self.radius
In this example, the Circle class overrides the area method, and calls the base class
method using the super function. This allows you to extend the behavior of the base
class method, while still maintaining its original behavior.
Program:-
Write a program to clear the clutter inside a folder on your computer. You should use
os module to rename all the png images from 1.png all the way till n.png where n is
the number of png files in that folder. Do the same for other file formats. For
example:
import os
files = os.listdir("clutteredFolder")
i=1
for file in files:
if file.endswith(".png"):
print(file)
os.rename(f"clutteredFolder/{file}", f"clutteredFolder/{i}.png")
i=i+1
o.p:-

p1 = Point(1, 2)
p2 = Point(3, 4)
p3 = p1 + p2
print(p3.x, p3.y) # prints 4, 6
How to overload an operator in Python?
You can overload an operator in Python by defining special methods in your class.
These methods are identified by their names, which start and end with double
underscores (__). Here are some of the most commonly overloaded operators and
their corresponding special methods:
+ : __add__
- : __sub__
* : __mul__
/ : __truediv__
< : __lt__
> : __gt__
== : __eq__
For example, if you want to overload the + operator to add two instances of a
custom class, you would define the add method:
class Point:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
Conclusion
Operator overloading is a powerful feature in Python that allows you to create more
readable and intuitive code. By redefining the behavior of mathematical and
comparison operators for custom data types, you can write code that is both concise
and expressive. However, it's important to use operator overloading wisely, as
overloading the wrong operator or using it inappropriately can lead to confusing or
unexpected behavior.
Program:-
class Vector:
def __init__(self, i, j, k):
self.i = i
self.j = j
self.k = k
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.i}i + {self.j}j + {self.k}k"
v2 = Vector(1, 2, 9)
print(v2)
print(v1 + v2)
print(type(v1 + v2))
o.p:-
3i + 5j + 6k
1i + 2j + 9k
4i + 7j + 15k
<class '__main__.Vector'>
Syntax
The syntax for single inheritance in Python is straightforward and easy to
understand. To create a new class that inherits from a parent class, simply specify
the parent class in the class definition, inside the parentheses, like this:
class ChildClass(ParentClass):
# class body
Example
Let's consider a simple example of single inheritance in Python. Consider a class
named "Animal" that contains the attributes and behaviors that are common to all
animals.
class Animal:
def __init__(self, name, species):
self.name = name
self.species = species
def make_sound(self):
print("Sound made by the animal")
If we want to create a new class for a specific type of animal, such as a dog, we can
create a new class named "Dog" that inherits from the Animal class.
class Dog(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, breed):
Animal.__init__(self, name, species="Dog")
self.breed = breed
def make_sound(self):
print("Bark!")
The Dog class inherits all the attributes and behaviors of the Animal class, including
the __init__ method and the make_sound method. Additionally, the Dog class has its
own __init__ method that adds a new attribute for the breed of the dog, and it also
overrides the make_sound method to specify the sound that a dog makes.
Single inheritance is a powerful tool in Python that allows you to create new classes
based on existing classes. It allows you to reuse code, extend it to fit your needs,
and make it easier to manage complex systems. Understanding single inheritance is
an important step in becoming proficient in object-oriented programming in Python.
Program:-
class Animal:
def __init__(self, name, species):
self.name = name
self.species = species
def make_sound(self):
print("Sound made by the animal")
class Dog(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, breed):
Animal.__init__(self, name, species="Dog")
self.breed = breed
def make_sound(self):
print("Bark!")
d = Dog("Dog", "Doggerman")
d.make_sound()
a = Animal("Dog", "Dog")
a.make_sound()
# Quick Quiz: Implement a Cat class by using the animal class. Add some methods specific
to cat
o.p:-
Bark!
Sound made by the animal
Syntax
In Python, multiple inheritance is implemented by specifying multiple parent classes
in the class definition, separated by commas.
def make_sound(self):
print("Sound made by the animal")
class Mammal:
def __init__(self, name, fur_color):
self.name = name
self.fur_color = fur_color
def make_sound(self):
print("Bark!")
In this example, the Dog class inherits from both the Animal and Mammal classes, so
it can use attributes and methods from both parent classes.
Program:-
class Employee:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def show(self):
print(f"The name is {self.name}")
class Dancer:
def __init__(self, dance):
self.dance = dance
def show(self):
print(f"The dance is {self.dance}")
o = DancerEmployee("Kathak", "Shivani")
print(o.name)
print(o.dance)
o.show()
print(DancerEmployee.mro())
O.P:-
Shivani
Kathak
The name is Shivani
[<class '__main__.DancerEmployee'>, <class '__main__.Employee'>, <class
'__main__.Dancer'>, <class 'object'>]
Multilevel Inheritance in Python
Multilevel inheritance is a type of inheritance in object-oriented programming where
a derived class inherits from another derived class. This type of inheritance allows
you to build a hierarchy of classes where one class builds upon another, leading to a
more specialized class.
In Python, multilevel inheritance is achieved by using the class hierarchy. The syntax
for multilevel inheritance is quite simple and follows the same syntax as single
inheritance.
Syntax
class BaseClass:
# Base class code
class DerivedClass1(BaseClass):
# Derived class 1 code
class DerivedClass2(DerivedClass1):
# Derived class 2 code
In the above example, we have three classes: BaseClass, DerivedClass1,
and DerivedClass2. The DerivedClass1 class inherits from the BaseClass, and
the DerivedClass2 class inherits from the DerivedClass1 class. This creates a hierarchy
where DerivedClass2 has access to all the attributes and methods of
both DerivedClass1 and BaseClass.
Example
Let's take a look at an example to understand how multilevel inheritance works in
Python. Consider the following classes:
class Animal:
def __init__(self, name, species):
self.name = name
self.species = species
def show_details(self):
print(f"Name: {self.name}")
print(f"Species: {self.species}")
class Dog(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, breed):
Animal.__init__(self, name, species="Dog")
self.breed = breed
def show_details(self):
Animal.show_details(self)
print(f"Breed: {self.breed}")
class GoldenRetriever(Dog):
def __init__(self, name, color):
Dog.__init__(self, name, breed="Golden Retriever")
self.color = color
def show_details(self):
Dog.show_details(self)
print(f"Color: {self.color}")
In this example, we have three classes: Animal, Dog, and GoldenRetriever.
The Dog class inherits from the Animal class, and the GoldenRetriever class inherits
from the Dog class.
Now, when we create an object of the GoldenRetriever class, it has access to all the
attributes and methods of the Animal class and the Dog class. We can also see that
the GoldenRetriever class has its own attributes and methods that are specific to the
class.
dog = GoldenRetriever("Max", "Golden")
dog.show_details()
Output:
Name: Max
Species: Dog
Breed: Golden Retriever
Color: Golden
As we can see from the output, the GoldenRetriever object has access to all the
attributes and methods of the Animal and Dog classes, and, it has also added its own
unique attributes and methods. This is a powerful feature of multilevel inheritance,
as it allows you to create more complex and intricate classes by building upon
existing ones.
Another important aspect of multilevel inheritance is that it allows you to reuse code
and avoid repeating the same logic multiple times. This can lead to better
maintainability and readability of your code, as you can abstract away complex logic
into base classes and build upon them.
Program:-
class Animal:
def __init__(self, name, species):
self.name = name
self.species = species
def show_details(self):
print(f"Name: {self.name}")
print(f"Species: {self.species}")
class Dog(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, breed):
Animal.__init__(self, name, species="Dog")
self.breed = breed
def show_details(self):
Animal.show_details(self)
print(f"Breed: {self.breed}")
class GoldenRetriever(Dog):
def __init__(self, name, color):
Dog.__init__(self, name, breed="Golden Retriever")
self.color = color
def show_details(self):
Dog.show_details(self)
print(f"Color: {self.color}")
o = Dog("tommy", "Black")
o.show_details()
print(GoldenRetriever.mro())
O.P:-
Name: tommy
Species: Dog
Breed: Black
[<class '__main__.GoldenRetriever'>, <class '__main__.Dog'>, <class '__main__.Animal'>,
<class 'object'>]
Syntax
The syntax for implementing Hybrid Inheritance in Python is the same as for
implementing Single Inheritance, Multiple Inheritance, or Hierarchical Inheritance.
class BaseClass1:
# attributes and methods
class BaseClass2:
# attributes and methods
def show_details(self):
print("Name:", self.name)
print("Age:", self.age)
class Person(Human):
def __init__(self, name, age, address):
Human.__init__(self, name, age)
self.address = address
def show_details(self):
Human.show_details(self)
print("Address:", self.address)
class Program:
def __init__(self, program_name, duration):
self.program_name = program_name
self.duration = duration
def show_details(self):
print("Program Name:", self.program_name)
print("Duration:", self.duration)
class Student(Person):
def __init__(self, name, age, address, program):
Person.__init__(self, name, age, address)
self.program = program
def show_details(self):
Person.show_details(self)
self.program.show_details()
In this example, the Student class inherits from the Person class, which in turn
inherits from the Human class. The Student class also has an association with
the Program class. This is an example of Hybrid Inheritance in action, as it uses both
Single Inheritance and Association to achieve the desired inheritance structure.
To create a Student object, we can do the following:
program = Program("Computer Science", 4)
student = Student("John Doe", 25, "123 Main St.", program)
student.show_details()
Output
Name: John Doe
Age: 25
Address: 123 Main St.
Program Name: Computer Science
Duration: 4
As we can see from the output, the Student object has access to all the attributes
and methods of the Person and Human classes, as well as the Program class through
association.
In this way, hybrid inheritance allows for a flexible and powerful way to inherit
attributes and behaviors from multiple classes in a hierarchy or chain.
Hierarchical Inheritance
Hierarchical Inheritance is a type of inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming
where multiple subclasses inherit from a single base class. In other words, a single
base class acts as a parent class for multiple subclasses. This is a way of establishing
relationships between classes in a hierarchical manner.
class Animal:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def show_details(self):
print("Name:", self.name)
class Dog(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, breed):
Animal.__init__(self, name)
self.breed = breed
def show_details(self):
Animal.show_details(self)
print("Species: Dog")
print("Breed:", self.breed)
class Cat(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, color):
Animal.__init__(self, name)
self.color = color
def show_details(self):
Animal.show_details(self)
print("Species: Cat")
print("Color:", self.color)
In the above code, the Animal class acts as the base class for two
subclasses, Dog and Cat. The Dog class and the Cat class inherit the attributes and
methods of the Animal class. However, they can also add their own unique attributes
and methods.
Here's an example of creating objects of the Dog and Cat classes and accessing their
attributes and methods:
dog = Dog("Max", "Golden Retriever")
dog.show_details()
cat = Cat("Luna", "Black")
cat.show_details()
Output:
Name: Max
Species: Dog
Breed: Golden Retriever
Name: Luna
Species: Cat
Color: Black
As we can see from the outputs, the Dog and Cat classes have inherited the
attributes and methods of the Animal class, and have also added their own unique
attributes and methods.
In conclusion, hierarchical inheritance is a way of establishing relationships between
classes in a hierarchical manner. It allows multiple subclasses to inherit from a single
base class, which helps in code reuse and organization of code in a more structured
manner.
Program:-
Write a program to manipulate pdf files using pyPDF. Your programs should be able
to merge multiple pdf files into a single pdf. You are welcome to add more
functionalities
Program:-
from PyPDF2 import PdfWriter
import os
merger = PdfWriter()
files = [file for file in os.listdir() if file.endswith(".pdf")]
merger.write("merged-pdf.pdf")
merger.close()
time.sleep()
The time.sleep() function suspends the execution of the current thread for a specified
number of seconds. This function can be used to pause the program for a certain
period of time, allowing other parts of the program to run, or to synchronize the
execution of multiple threads. Here's an example:
import time
print("Start:", time.time())
time.sleep(2)
print("End:", time.time())
# Output:
# Start: 1602299933.233374
# End: 1602299935.233376
As you can see, the function time.sleep() suspends the execution of the program for
2 seconds, allowing other parts of the program to run during that time.
time.strftime()
The time.strftime() function formats a time value as a string, based on a specified
format. This function is particularly useful for formatting dates and times in a human-
readable format, such as for display in a GUI, a log file, or a report. Here's an
example:
import time
t = time.localtime()
formatted_time = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", t)
print(formatted_time)
# Output: 2022-11-08 08:45:33
As you can see, the function time.strftime() formats the current time (obtained
using time.localtime()) as a string, using a specified format. The format string
contains codes that represent different parts of the time value, such as the year, the
month, the day, the hour, the minute, and the second.
Conclusion
The time module in Python provides a set of functions to work with time-related
operations, such as timekeeping, formatting, and time conversions. Whether you are
writing a script, a library, or an application, the time module is a powerful tool that
can help you perform time-related tasks with ease and efficiency. So, if you haven't
already, be sure to check out the time module in Python and see how it can help you
write better, more efficient code.

import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.positional)
Adding arguments with type
The following example shows how to add an argument with a specified type:
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args.n)
Conclusion
Creating command line utilities in Python is a straightforward and flexible process
thanks to the argparse module. With a few lines of code, you can create powerful and
customizable command line tools that can make your development workflow easier
and more efficient. Whether you're working on small scripts or large applications,
the argparse module is a must-have tool for any Python developer.
Program:-
import argparse
import requests
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
The Walrus Operator is represented by the := syntax and can be used in a variety of
contexts including while loops and if statements.
Here's an example of how you can use the Walrus Operator in a while loop:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# walrus operator :=
# happy = True
# print(happy)
# print(happy := True)
# foods = list()
# while True:
# food = input("What food do you like?: ")
# if food == "quit":
# break
# foods.append(food)
foods = list()
while (food := input("What food do you like?: ")) != "quit":
foods.append(food)
In this example, the user input is assigned to the variable name using the Walrus
Operator. The value of name is then used in the if statement to determine whether it
is in the names list. If it is, the corresponding message is printed, otherwise, a
different message is printed.
It is important to note that the Walrus Operator should be used sparingly as it can
make code less readable if overused.
In conclusion, the Walrus Operator is a useful tool for Python developers to have in
their toolkit. It can help streamline code and reduce duplication, but it should be
used with care to ensure code readability and maintainability.
Importing shutil
The syntax for importing the shutil module is as follows:
import shutil
Functions
The following are some of the most commonly used functions in the shutil module:
shutil.copy(src, dst): This function copies the file located at src to a new
location specified by dst. If the destination location already exists, the original
file will be overwritten.
shutil.copy2(src, dst): This function is similar to shutil.copy, but it also
preserves more metadata about the original file, such as the timestamp.
shutil.copytree(src, dst): This function recursively copies the directory located
at src to a new location specified by dst. If the destination location already
exists, the original directory will be merged with it.
shutil.move(src, dst): This function moves the file located at src to a new
location specified by dst. This function is equivalent to renaming a file in most
cases.
shutil.rmtree(path): This function recursively deletes the directory located at
path, along with all of its contents. This function is similar to using the rm -rf
command in a shell.
Examples
Here are some examples of how you can use the shutil module in your Python code:
import shutil
# Copying a file
shutil.copy("src.txt", "dst.txt")
# Copying a directory
shutil.copytree("src_dir", "dst_dir")
# Moving a file
shutil.move("src.txt", "dst.txt")
# Deleting a directory
shutil.rmtree("dir")
As you can see, the shutil module provides a simple and efficient way to perform
common file and directory-related tasks in Python. Whether you need to copy, move,
delete, or preserve metadata about files and directories, the shutil module has you
covered.
In conclusion, the shutil module is a powerful tool for automating file and directory-
related tasks in Python. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Python
developer, the shutil module is an essential tool to have in your toolbox.
Program:-
Write a program to pronounce list of names using win32 API. If you are given a list l
as follows:
l = ["Rahul", "Nishant", "Harry"]
Your program should pronouce:
Shoutout to Rahul
Shoutout to Nishant
Shoutout to Harry
Note: If you are not using windows, try to figure out how to do the same thing using
some other package
# For Mac
Installation
pip install requests
Get Request
Once you have installed the Requests module, you can start using it to send HTTP
requests. Here is a simple example that sends a GET request to the Google
homepage:
import requests
response = requests.get("https://www.google.com")
print(response.text)
Post Request
Here is another example that sends a POST request to a web service and includes a
custom header:
import requests
url = "https://api.example.com/login"
headers = {
"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
"username": "myusername",
"password": "mypassword"
}
print(response.text)
In this example, we send a POST request to a web service to authenticate a user. We
include a custom User-Agent header and a JSON payload with the user's credentials.
bs4 Module
There is another module called BeautifulSoup which is used for web scraping in
Python. I have personally used bs4 module to finish a lot of freelancing task
Program:-
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = "https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/django-cheatsheet/"
r = requests.get(url)
# print(r.text)
# data = {
# "title": 'harry',
# "body": 'bhai',
# "userId": 12,
# }
# headers = {
# 'Content-type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
# }
# response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
# print(response.text)
Generators in Python
Generators in Python are special type of functions that allow you to create an
iterable sequence of values. A generator function returns a generator object, which
can be used to generate the values one-by-one as you iterate over it. Generators are
a powerful tool for working with large or complex data sets, as they allow you to
generate the values on-the-fly, rather than having to create and store the entire
sequence in memory.
Creating a Generator
In Python, you can create a generator by using the yield statement in a function.
The yield statement returns a value from the generator and suspends the execution
of the function until the next value is requested. Here's an example:
def my_generator():
for i in range(5):
yield i
gen = my_generator()
print(next(gen))
print(next(gen))
print(next(gen))
print(next(gen))
print(next(gen))
# Output:
#0
#1
#2
#3
#4
As you can see, the generator function my_generator() returns a generator object,
which can be used to generate the values in the range 0 to 4. The next() function is
used to request the next value from the generator, and the generator resumes its
execution until it encounters another yield statement or until it reaches the end of
the function.
Using a Generator
Once you have created a generator, you can use it in a variety of ways, such as in a
for loop, a list comprehension, or a generator expression. Here's an example:
gen = my_generator()
for i in gen:
print(i)
# Output:
#0
#1
#2
#3
#4
As you can see, the generator can be used in a for loop, just like any other iterable
sequence. The generator is used to generate the values one-by-one as the loop
iterates over it.
Benefits of Generators
Generators offer several benefits over other types of sequences, such as lists, tuples,
and sets. One of the main benefits of generators is that they allow you to generate
the values on-the-fly, rather than having to create and store the entire sequence in
memory. This makes generators a powerful tool for working with large or complex
data sets, as you can generate the values as you need them, rather than having to
store them all in memory at once.
Another benefit of generators is that they are lazy, which means that the values are
generated only when they are requested. This allows you to generate the values in a
more efficient and memory-friendly manner, as you don't have to generate all the
values up front.
Conclusion
Generators in Python are a powerful tool for working with large or complex data sets,
allowing you to generate the values on-the-fly and store only what you need in
memory. Whether you are working with a large dataset, performing complex
calculations, or generating a sequence of values, generators are a must-have tool in
your programming toolkit. So, if you haven't already, be sure to check out
generators in Python and see how they can help you write better, more efficient
code.
import functools
@functools.lru_cache(maxsize=None)
def fib(n):
if n < 2:
return n
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
print(fib(20))
# Output: 6765
As you can see, the functools.lru_cache decorator is used to cache the results of
the fib function. The maxsize parameter is used to specify the maximum number of
results to cache. If maxsize is set to None, the cache will have an unlimited size.
Benefits of Function Caching
Function caching can have a significant impact on the performance of a program,
particularly for computationally expensive functions. By caching the results of a
function, you can avoid having to recompute the results every time the function is
called, which can save a significant amount of time and computational resources.
Another benefit of function caching is that it can simplify the code of a program by
removing the need to manually cache the results of a function. With
the functools.lru_cache decorator, the caching is handled automatically, so you can
focus on writing the core logic of your program.
Conclusion
Function caching is a technique for improving the performance of a program by
storing the results of a function so that you can reuse the results instead of
recomputing them every time the function is called. In Python 3, function caching
can be achieved using the functools.lru_cache decorator, which provides an easy and
efficient way to cache the results of a function. Whether you're writing a
computationally expensive program, or just want to simplify your code, function
caching is a great technique to have in your toolbox.
Program:-
from functools import lru_cache
import time
@lru_cache(maxsize=None)
def fx(n):
time.sleep(5)
return n*5
print(fx(20))
print("done for 20")
print(fx(2))
print("done for 2")
print(fx(6))
print("done for 6")
print(fx(20))
print("done for 20")
print(fx(2))
print("done for 2")
print(fx(6))
print("done for 6")
print(fx(61))
print("done for 61")
Output: 6765
100
done for 20
10
done for 2
30
done for 6
100
done for 20
10
done for 2

related to different topics. Go to: https://newsapi.org/ and explore the various options
to build you application
import requests
import json
if match:
print("Match found!")
else:
print("Match not found.")
Searching for a pattern in re using re.findall() Method
You can also use the re.findall function to find all occurrences of the pattern in a
string:
import re
pattern = r"expression"
text = "The cat is in the hat."
print(matches)
# Output: ['cat', 'hat']
Replacing a pattern
The following example shows how to replace a pattern in a string:
import re
pattern = r"[a-z]+at"
text = "The cat is in the hat."
print(new_text)
# Output: "The dog is in the dog."
Extracting information from a string
The following example shows how to extract information from a string using regular
expressions:
import re
pattern = r"\w+@\w+\.\w+"
if match:
email = match.group()
print(email)
# Output: [email protected]
Conclusion
Regular expressions are a powerful tool for working with strings and text data in
Python. Whether you're matching patterns, replacing text, or extracting information,
regular expressions make it easy to perform complex string operations with just a
few lines of code. With a little bit of practice, you'll be able to use regular
expressions to solve all sorts of string-related problems in Python.
Program:-
# https://regexr.com/
import re
pattern = r"[A-Z]+yclodne"
text = '''Cyclone Dumazile was a strong tropical cyclone in the South-West Indian Ocean
that affected Madagascar and Réunion in early March 2018. Dumazile originated from a
cyclone Dyclone low-pressure area that formed near Agaléga on 27 February. It became a
tropical disturbance on 2 March, and was named the next day after attaining tropical
storm status. Dumazile reached its peak intensity on 5 March, with 10-minute sustained
winds of 165 km/h (105 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 205 km/h (125 mph), and a
central atmospheric pressure of 945 hPa (27.91 inHg). As it tracked southeastwards,
Dumazile weakened steadily over the next couple of days due to wind shear, and became
a post-tropical cyclone on 7 March

print(match)
Async IO in Python
Asynchronous I/O, or async for short, is a programming pattern that allows for high-
performance I/O operations in a concurrent and non-blocking manner. In Python,
async programming is achieved through the use of the asyncio module and
asynchronous functions.
Syntax
Here is the basic syntax for creating an asynchronous function in Python:
import asyncio
asyncio.run(main())
Another way to schedule tasks concurrently is as follows:
L = await asyncio.gather(
my_async_function(),
my_async_function(),
my_async_function(),
)
print(L)
Async IO is a powerful programming pattern that allows for high-performance and
concurrent I/O operations in Python. With the asyncio module and asynchronous
functions, you can write efficient and scalable code that can handle large amounts of
data and I/O operations without blocking the main thread. Whether you're working
on web applications, network services, or data processing pipelines, async IO is an
essential tool for any Python developer.
Program:-
import time
import asyncio
import requests
return "Harry"
asyncio.run(main())
O.P:-
func 1
func 2
func 3
['Harry', None, None]
Multithreading in Python
Multithreading is a technique in programming that allows multiple threads of
execution to run concurrently within a single process. In Python, we can use the
threading module to implement multithreading. In this tutorial, we will take a closer
look at the threading module and its various functions and how they can be used in
Python.
Importing Threading
We can use threading by importing the threading module.
import threading
Creating a thread
To create a thread, we need to create a Thread object and then call its start()
method. The start() method runs the thread and then to stop the execution, we use
the join() method. Here's how we can create a simple thread.
import threading
def my_func():
print("Hello from thread", threading.current_thread().name)
thread = threading.Thread(target=my_func)
thread.start()
thread.join()
Functions
The following are some of the most commonly used functions in the threading
module:
threading.Thread(target, args): This function creates a new thread that runs the
target function with the specified arguments.
threading.Lock(): This function creates a lock that can be used to synchronize
access to shared resources between threads.
Creating multiple threads
Creating multiple threads is a common approach to using multithreading in Python.
The idea is to create a pool of worker threads and then assign tasks to them as
needed. This allows you to take advantage of multiple CPU cores and process tasks
in parallel.
import threading
def thread_task(task):
# Do some work here
print("Task processed:", task)
if __name__ == '__main__':
tasks = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
threads = []
for task in tasks:
thread = threading.Thread(target=thread_task, args=(task,))
threads.append(thread)
thread.start()
import threading
if __name__ == '__main__':
counter = 0
lock = threading.Lock()
threads = []
for i in range(2):
thread = threading.Thread(target=increment, args=(counter, lock))
threads.append(thread)
thread.start()
Program:-
import threading
import time
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
def main():
time1 = time.perf_counter()
# Normal Code
# func(4)
# func(2)
# func(1)
t1.join()
t2.join()
t3.join()
# Calculating Time
time2 = time.perf_counter()
print(time2 - time1)
def poolingDemo():
with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
# future1 = executor.submit(func, 3)
# future2 = executor.submit(func, 2)
# future3 = executor.submit(func, 4)
# print(future1.result())
# print(future2.result())
# print(future3.result())
l = [3, 5, 1, 2]
results = executor.map(func, l)
for result in results:
print(result)
poolingDemo()

Multiprocessing in Python
Multiprocessing is a Python module that provides a simple way to run multiple
processes in parallel. It allows you to take advantage of multiple cores or processors
on your system and can significantly improve the performance of your code. In this
repl, we'll take a closer look at the multiprocessing module and its various functions
and how they can be used in Python.
Importing Multiprocessing
We can use multiprocessing by importing the multiprocessing module.
import multiprocessing
Now, to use multiprocessing we need to create a process object which calls
a start() method. The start() method runs the process and then to stop the execution,
we use the join() method. Here's how we can create a simple process.
Creating a process
import multiprocessing
def my_func():
print("Hello from process", multiprocessing.current_process().name)
process = multiprocessing.Process(target=my_func)
process.start()
process.join()
Functions
The following are some of the most commonly used functions in the multiprocessing
module:
def process_task(task):
# Do some work here
print("Task processed:", task)
if __name__ == '__main__':
tasks = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
def producer(queue):
for i in range(10):
queue.put(i)
def consumer(queue):
while True:
item = queue.get()
print(item)
queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
p1 = multiprocessing.Process(target=producer, args=(queue,))
p2 = multiprocessing.Process(target=consumer, args=(queue,))
p1.start()
p2.start()
Using a lock to synchronize access to shared resources
When working with multiprocessing in python, locks can be used to synchronize
access to shared resources among multiple processes. A lock is an object that acts
as a semaphore, allowing only one process at a time to execute a critical section of
code. The lock is released when the process finishes executing the critical section.
if __name__ == '__main__':
counter = multiprocessing.Value('i', 0)
lock = multiprocessing.Lock()
p1 = multiprocessing.Process(target=increment, args=(counter, lock))
p2 = multiprocessing.Process(target=increment, args=(counter, lock))
p1.start()
p2.start()
p1.join()
p2.join()
Program:-
import concurrent.futures
import requests
url = "https://picsum.photos/2000/3000"
# pros = []
# for i in range(50):
# # downloadFile(url, i)
# p = multiprocessing.Process(target=downloadFile, args=[url, i])
# p.start()
# pros.append(p)
# for p in pros:
# p.join()
import os
import time
while True:
command = "osascript -e \'say \"Hey Harry drink water\"\'; osascript -e \'display
alert \"Hey Harry, Drink water\"\'"
os.system(command)
time.sleep(REPEAT_INTERVAL)
