CO Mapping CO2: Demonstrate basic concepts of python programming.

Objective of Experiment: The aim of this experiment is to introduce and apply the fundamental concepts of
Python programming in the context of creative coding. This experiment will explore how core programming
constructs—such as variables, operators , control flow, loops, functions, and data structures—can be utilized to
create dynamic, expressive, and responsive digital art or generative designs.

Pre-Requisite:
Tools: Any IDLE, Juypter Notebook / google colab

Theory:
1.1. Introduction to Python 1.2. Basic Syntax and Variables 1. Integers (int)

● Data types: int, float, str,
IDLE or use an print(x + y) # Output: 5
IDE (e.g., VSCode bool.
print(x * 3) # Output: 30
or PyCharm). ● Basic input/output:
o Brief on running
Python scripts and name = input("Enter your name: ")
using Python shell. print(f"Hello, {name}!")

Common Operations: 2. Floating-point Numbers Common Operations:

(float)
● + (addition) ● Same as integers: +, -,
● Floats represent real *, /, etc., but results can
● - (subtraction)
numbers with a decimal have decimal points.
● * (multiplication) point.

● / (division, returns a float) a = 10.5

b = 3.2
● // (integer division, discards print(a + b) # Output: 13.7
the decimal part) print(a / b) # Output: 3.28125
 ● % (modulus, returns the
remainder)
● ** (exponentiation, e.g., x
** y means x to the power
of y)

3. Strings (str) Common Operations: word = "Python"

print(word[0]) # Output: P
● Strings are sequences of ● Concatenation (+):
(first character)
characters, enclosed in Combining strings. print(word[-1]) # Output: n
single or double quotes. (last character)
● Repetition (*): Repeating
print(word[1:4]) # Output: yth
greeting = "Hello" a string multiple times.
(slicing)
name = 'Alice' ● Indexing: Accessing print(word * 2) # Output:
message = greeting + ", " + PythonPython
individual characters
name + "!"
using an index (starting at
print(message) # Output:
0).
Hello, Alice!
● Slicing: Extracting
substrings using
[start:end].

String Methods: text = "Hello, World!" 4. Boolean (bool)

print(len(text)) # Output: 13
● len(): Returns the length of ● Booleans represent True
print(text.upper()) # Output:

lowercase.
# Output: False (both must be
● .replace(): Replaces a True)
substring. print(is_active or is_logged_in)
# Output: True (one must be True)

Logical Operations: x = 10 5. Type Checking and

y=5 Conversion
● and: Returns True if both
print(x > y) # Output: True
operands are true. ● type(): Used to check the
(comparison results in boolean)
print(x == y) # Output: False type of a variable.
● or: Returns True if at least
(equality check) ● int(), float(), str():
one operand is true.
print(not x > y) # Output: False
Convert between types.
● not: Inverts the boolean (inverted result)

x = "123" user_input = input("Enter a

y = int(x) # Converts string to number: ")
integer converted_number =
z = float(x) # Converts string to float int(user_input) # Convert string
print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'str'> input to integer
print(type(y)) # Output: <class 'int'> print(converted_number * 2) #
print(type(z)) # Output: <class Perform operations on the
'float'> converted number
 Control Flow

If-Else Statements Using elif 2. For Loops

If-else statements are used to make You can have multiple conditions For loops are used to iterate over
decisions based on conditions. using elif (else-if). sequences like lists, strings, or
ranges.
age = 18 marks = 75
Example 1: Looping over a
if age >= 18: if marks >= 90: range()
print("You are an adult.") print("Grade: A")
else: elif marks >= 75: # Print numbers from 0 to 4
print("You are a minor.") print("Grade: B") for i in range(5):
elif marks >= 60: print(i)
Output: print("Grade: C")
You are an adult. else: Output: 0 1 2 3 4
print("Grade: F")

Output: Grade B

Example 2: Iterating through a list Example 3: Looping through a Example 4: Nested for loop
string (Multiplication table)
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for letter in "Python": for i in range(1, 4):
for fruit in fruits: print(letter) for j in range(1, 4):
print(fruit) print(f"{i} * {j} = {i * j}")
Output: P y t h o n
Output: apple,banana,cherry Output:
1*1=1
1*2=2
1*3=3
2*1=2
2*2=4
2*3=6
3*1=3
3*2=6
3*3=9

3. While Loops Example 2: Using break in a Example 3: Using continue in a

While loops keep executing a block while loop loop
of code as long as a given condition break is used to exit the loop continue is used to skip the rest
is True. early. of the current iteration and
Example 1: Basic while loop count = 0 move to the next.
while count < 10: count = 0
count = 0 print(count) while count < 5:
while count < 5: if count == 5: count += 1
print(count) break # Exit loop when if count == 3:
count += 1 # increment count count reaches 5 continue # Skip the iteration
count += 1 # when count is 3
Output: 0 1 2 3 4 print(count)
Output: 0 1 2 3 4
Output: 1 2 4 5

4.Functions Functions can have default

Functions in Python are defined arguments, return values, and
using the def keyword. accept multiple parameters.

def greet(name): def add_numbers(a, b=5):

return f"Hello, {name}!" return a + b
message = greet("Alice") print(add_numbers(3)) # Output:
print(message) 8 (uses default value of b)

Output:Hello Alice!
