Python Course Notes

PythonCourse_01_Intro

### Detailed Introduction to Python

Python is a versatile and powerful programming language, ideal for beginners and
experienced developers alike. This section explores the history, features, and real-world
applications of Python.

#### History of Python


- **1989**: Python was conceptualized by Guido van Rossum during his work at CWI in the
Netherlands.
- **1991**: The first version of Python was released.
- **2000**: Python 2.0 introduced new features like list comprehensions.
- **2008**: Python 3.0 was released, making significant improvements.

#### Python Applications


- **Web Development**: Frameworks like Django and Flask.
- **Data Science**: Libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib.
- **Machine Learning**: TensorFlow and PyTorch.
- **Scripting and Automation**: Used for automating repetitive tasks.

#### Exercises
1. Install Python on your machine and verify the installation.
2. Write a Python program to display your name and age.
3. Explore the Python REPL and execute basic commands.

---

### Example Code:


```python
# Python program to display name and age
name = input("Enter your name: ")
age = input("Enter your age: ")
print(f"Hello, {name}. You are {age} years old!")
```

PythonCourse_02_Expressions

### Advanced Details on Expressions


Expressions are building blocks in Python that produce values when evaluated.

#### Types of Expressions


1. **Arithmetic Expressions**
2. **Comparison Expressions**
3. **Logical Expressions**
4. **Compound Expressions**

#### Common Operators and Examples


- `//`: Floor Division
- `%`: Modulus (Remainder)
- `**`: Exponentiation

#### Example Code:


```python
# Arithmetic operations
x = 15
y=4
print("Floor Division:", x // y)
print("Exponentiation:", x ** y)
```

#### Exercises
1. Write a program to calculate the area of a circle using the formula: `Area = π * r^2`.
2. Create a program to determine whether a number is even or odd.
3. Experiment with logical operators (`and`, `or`, `not`) in multiple scenarios.

PythonCourse_03_Conditionals

### Advanced Conditional Statements

Conditional statements allow for decision-making in Python programs.

#### Syntax and Advanced Examples


- Using `elif` for multi-branch decisions.
- Handling user input with conditions.

#### Example Code:


```python
# Check grade based on score
score = int(input("Enter your score: "))
if score >= 90:
print("Grade: A")
elif score >= 75:
print("Grade: B")
elif score >= 60:
print("Grade: C")
else:
print("Grade: F")
```

#### Exercises
1. Write a program to determine if a year is a leap year.
2. Create a program that takes a number as input and outputs whether it is positive,
negative, or zero.
3. Develop a rock-paper-scissors game using conditional statements.

PythonCourse_04_Functions

### Comprehensive Guide to Functions

Functions are essential for code organization and reuse. Learn about function parameters,
scope, and best practices.

#### Example Code:


```python
# Recursive function to calculate factorial
def factorial(n):
if n == 0:
return 1
return n * factorial(n - 1)

print(factorial(5)) # Output: 120


```

#### Exercises
1. Write a function that calculates the Fibonacci sequence up to a given number.
2. Create a program with a function that checks if a string is a palindrome.
3. Develop a temperature converter function (Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa).
