6. Add sufficient comment lines in complete sentences. Block comments are indented to the same
level as that code. Inline comments wherever necessary.
7. Use meaningful names for variables, functions and constants.
8. Follow the snake case for naming variables and functions, capitalize the first alphabet of
each word for classes, constants should be in upper case and follow the snake case
convention.

Step 4: On completion submit the python notebook in LMS. Ensure that you submit well within the
deadline.
Step 5: Show the Python notebooks and results to the instructors during program execution check.

• If a student misses a lab class, he/she must ensure the experiment is completed.
• Questions for lab tests and examinations are not necessarily limited to the questions in the manual
but may involve some variations and/or combinations of the questions.
• Since this is an introductory course on Python programming and data visualization, the students
cannot use AI tools to generate code.
• Please do not copy code from others.

Additional Package: Seaborn: For advanced visualization

5. Introduction to Anaconda, Jupyter Notebook

5.1 Anaconda

Anaconda is a open-source distribution for Python and R, specifically for data science. It can be used
to create an isolated environment for making data intensive applications. It simplifies the process of
managing packages and dependencies. Anaconda has over 1,500 packages, including essential tools
like Jupyter Notebook, Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib, making it a one-stop solution for developers
and researchers. Its package manager, Conda, allows seamless installation, updating, and management
of software, ensuring compatibility and reducing conflicts.

5.2 Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter is a freely available web application that enables creation and sharing of documents containing
equations, live coding, visualizations, and narrative text. Jupyter provides an interactive computing
environment and it supports multiple programming languages, including Python, R, Julia. The major
components of the Jupyter project is the notebook, a type of interactive document for code, text
(including Markdown), data visualizations, and other output. The Jupyter notebook interacts with
kernels, which are implementations of the Jupyter interactive computing protocol specific to different
programming languages. Jupyter integrates data science libraries and frameworks, such as NumPy,
Pandas, Matplotlib, sci-kit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch. This allows users to leverage the full power
of these tools within the notebook environment for tasks like data manipulation, visualization, machine
learning, and deep learning.

Step 3: Renaming the new folder. The new folder will be created with the default name “Untitled
folder”. Click on rename and rename the folder appropriately as shown in Figure 3.

Fig 3: Renaming the new folder.

Step 4: Creating a new notebook inside the newly created folder. Click on New-> Python

Step 5: Renaming the python notebook. Initially, the python program will be created with the default
name “Untitled” as shown in Figure 5. Click on it to rename the notebook appropriately.

Fig 5: Renaming the python notebook.

Step 6: Start running the python program using notebook cells. After renaming the notebook cells, we
can start coding. A sample print statement is displayed in Figure 6. After typing the code, press the run
button to run the appropriate cell. The output is displayed below the cell.

 6. Python Basics
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language with simple and readable syntax. Python is
dynamically typed, and variable types are determined at runtime. Its numerous third-party packages
make it suitable for various applications, such as web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence,
and scientific computing. For data manipulation, libraries like Pandas and NumPy provide efficient
tools for handling structured and unstructured data, performing calculations, and managing large
datasets. Python also offers various data visualization libraries, such as Matplotlib and Seaborn, to
create interactive charts, graphs, and dashboards. Machine learning and statistical modeling can
seamlessly integrate using libraries like Scikit-learn and Statsmodels. Jupyter Notebook enhances the
workflow by allowing live coding, visualization, and storytelling in a single environment. Python's
scalability, active community support, and compatibility with big data frameworks (e.g., PySpark) make
it a go-to language for data-driven projects across industries. Important features of Python are as
follows:
• Python uses whitespace (tabs or spaces) to structure code.
• To add comments to code use the hash mark (pound sign) #.
• Variables in Python have no inherent type associated with them; a variable can refer to a
different type of object simply by doing an assignment.
• Every number, string, data structure, function, class, module etc. exists in the Python interpreter
as a Python object. Each object has an associated type (e.g., integer, string, or function) and
internal data.
• Objects in Python typically have both attributes (other Python objects stored “inside” the
object) and methods (functions associated with an object that can have access to the object’s
internal data).
• In Python, a module is a file with the .py extension containing Python code.
• Python’s data structures like tuples, lists, dictionaries, sets, and sequences, are important
aspects of Python programming.
• Vectorization in Python refers to performing operations on entire arrays or data sequences
without iterating through individual elements using loops. Vectorised operations are supported
in packages like NumPy and Pandas. Python is optimized for vectorized operations and it is
much faster than looping constructs.
• Python provides an array of specialized libraries for creating a variety of data visualizations.
The most important packages are Matplotlib and Seaborn.
