Python 2

This document outlines an introductory Python session covering various topics such as data sets, variables, loops, functions, and object-oriented programming. It includes assignments focused on counting elements in a deck of cards and student data, as well as structured thinking approaches like flowcharts and pseudocode. Additionally, it provides resources for further learning and instructions for setting up accounts on relevant platforms.

Introduction to Python

Session 2
What will you learn ?

• Introduction • Literals
• Introduction to Data Sets • Conditionals
• Concepts of Variables, Iterations & • Loops
Filtering • Functions
• Data Types • Lists & Tupules
• Sanity of Data • Sets & Dictionaries
• Introduction to Complex Data Types • File Handling
• Hands – On Python • Object Oriented Programming
Introduction to Data Sets
1. Data Sets –
1. Student Performance
2. Deck of Cards

2. Assignment 1-
1. Count the no of Cards in a Deck
2. Count the no of Red cards in a deck
3. Count the no of students in the data set
4. Count the no of students from North India
Assignment -1

1. Start :- the counting process

2. Iterate :- Going through the sequence of objects as you go on from one object to
another keep a count- It will always have a condition – till when to iterate …

3. Initialisation :- To keep a count – Initialise a variable = Say Count = 0

4. Increment :- Every time you move an object = you increment the count by 1

5. Stop - When you run out of cards


Assignment -2

1. Start :- the counting process

2. Iterate :- Going through the sequence of objects as you go on from one object to
another keep a count

3. Initialisation-1 :- To keep a count – Initialise a Variable1 = Say Count = 0


4. Initialisation-2:- Variable -2= Red Count=0

5. Increment :- Every time you move an object = you increment the Count by 1
6. Increment :- Every time you find a red card while moving an object = you
increment the Red Count by 1

7. Stop - When you run out of cards


Structured Thinking Approaches

The first approach to structured thinking is to put steps to the business problems

There are typically two ways to organize a process


• Flow Chart
• Steps Involved
• Pseudocode

• Flow Chart
• Pictorial representation of computational process
• Let us take an simple illustration:- Counting the number of cards
Flow Charts
• Node types
1. Process or Activity - Rectangular box Activities which
the value of a variable
2. Arrows indicate operation flow- Flow Line or the
order or the direction
3. Decision- Diamond Box- You take a decision in which
direction the program would take
4. Terminal- Oval shaped – Beginning or end of the
program

• Advantage
1. Visual representation of computation
2. Easy to understand

• Disadvantages
1. Size: Complex processes generate large flowcharts
2. Collaboration: Sharing pictures in editable format
3. Versions: Compare changes between flow charts
From Visuals to Steps & Words

Describe the process in words


Step 0 Start
Step 1 Initialize Count to 0
Step 2 Check cards in Pile 1
Step 3 If no more cards, go Step 8
Step 4 Pick a card X from Pile 1
Step 5 Move X to Pile 2
Step 6 Increment Count
Step 7 Go back to Step 2
Step 8 End
From Visuals to Steps & Words

• Succinct notation for computational processes


• Better textual representation for
• Conditional execution
• Step 3 If no more cards, go to Step 8
• Step 4 Pick a card X from Pile 1
• Repeated execution
• Step 2 Check cards in Pile 1
• ...
• Step 7 Go back to Step 2
General Flowchart
Start
Mark Items as Visited

Initialize
Update Variables

No - False
Unvisited
End
elements ?

Yes – True

Pick an Unvisited Element


Pseudocode

Start
Count = 0
while (Pile 1 has more cards) {
Pick a card X from Pile 1
Move X to Pile 2
Increment Count
}
End
Pseudocode

Start
Count = 0
while (Pile 1 has more cards) {
Pick a card X from Pile 1
Move X to Pile 2
Increment Count
}
End
Pseudocode

Start
Count = 0
while (Pile 1 has more cards) {
Pick a card X from Pile 1
Move X to Pile 2
Increment Count
}
End
1- Assign a Value to a Variable
Pseudocode

Start
Count = 0
while (Pile 1 has more cards) {
Pick a card X from Pile 1
Move X to Pile 2
Increment Count
}
End
1- Assign a Value to a Variable
2- Repeat steps while conditions holds
Pseudocode

Start
Count = 0
while (Pile 1 has more cards) {
Pick a card X from Pile 1
Move X to Pile 2
Increment Count
}
End
1- Assign a Value to a Variable
2- Repeat steps while conditions holds
3- Mark Start & End of A Repeated Block
Summary

• Flowcharts are easy to read, visual descriptions of procedures.


. . but they are cumbersome, hard to share and edit
• Writing down steps in text is an alternative
• Tune the notation to capture standard features
• Assigning values to variables
• Conditional execution
• Repeated execution
