===== LESSON 1: STRING =====

myString = "This is a Python program."

#to print the whole string

print (myString)

#to print the elements in index 0 until 9

print (myString[0:10])

#to print the elements in index 15 until end of string

print (myString[15:])

#to print the elements from index 0 until 14

print (myString[:15])

#to print the string twice

print (myString * 2)

#to print the concatenation of 2 strings

print (myString + " And it is fun.")

Code 1: Several string operations in Python

Method Description Syntax

lower The lower() method returns the lowercased string.lower()

string from the given string. It converts
all uppercase characters to lowercase.

If no uppercase characters exist, it

returns the original string.

upper The upper() method returns the uppercased string.upper()

string from the given string. It converts
all lowecase characters to uppercase.

If no lowercase characters exist, it

returns the original string.

capitalize The capitalize() returns a string with string.capitalize()

first letter capitalized and all other
characters lowercased. It does not modify
the original string.

===== LESSON 2: LIST =====

myList = [11, 44, 99.56, 100, 245, 67, 'Mango', 'Turtles', 'Girls', 'Y']

#to print the whole list

print (myList)

#to print the elements in index 0 until 6

print (myList[0:7])

#to print the elements in index 5 until end of list

print (myList[5:])

#to print the elements from index 0 until 6

print (myList[:7])

#to print the list twice

print (myList * 2)

#to print the concatenation of 2 lists

print (myList + ['Pineapple', 'Fox', 98.78, 'P', 7])

Code 2: Several list operations in Python

Method Description Syntax

append The append() method adds a single item to list.append(item)

the existing list. It does not return a new
list; rather it modifies the original list.

insert The insert() method inserts an element to list.insert(index,

the list at a given index. element)

remove The remove() method searches for the given list.remove(element)

element in the list and removes the first
matching element.

reverse The reverse() method reverses the elements list.reverse()

of a given list.

===== LESSON 3: TUPLE =====

myTuple = ("Orange", "Honeydew", 89.08, 11.45, 678, 'A', 'c', 98.65,

"Earth", "Pluto")

#to print the whole tuple

print (myTuple)

#to print the elements in index 0 until 6

print (myTuple[0:7])

#to print the elements in index 5 until end of tuple

print (myTuple[5:])

#to print the elements from index 0 until 6

print (myTuple[:7])

#to print the tuple twice

print (myTuple * 2)

#to print the concatenation of 2 tuple

print (myTuple + ('Y', 'T', 'Cat', 65.11, 0.98))

Code 3: Several tuple operations in Python

Lists Tuples
Lists are enclosed in brackets ([ ]) Tuples are enclosed in parentheses ( )
Their elements & size can be changed Their elements cannot be updated

===== LESSON 4: DICTIONARY =====

myDictionary = {"ID": 1011, "Name": "Aminah", "Part": 3, "Program":

"CS110"}
Key (must be Value
#to print the whole dictinary
print (myDictionary) unique)

#to print all the keys

print (myDictionary.keys())

#to print all the values

print (myDictionary.values())

#to print the value of ID

print (myDictionary["ID"])

#to add a new key and its value to the existing dictionary
myDictionary["CGPA"] = 3.45
print (myDictionary)

===== LESSON 5: FUNCTION =====

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

float sphereVol(float);

const float PI = 3.142; //global variable

int main()
{
float radius;

cout<<"Enter the radius: ";

cin>>radius;

float volume = sphereVol(radius);

cout<<"The volume is "<<volume<<endl;
}

float sphereVol(float r)
{
float vol = 4.0 / 3.0 * PI * r * r * r;

}

PI = 3.142

def sphereVol(r):
return 4.0 / 3.0 * PI * radius ** 3

Power of 3
#main function
radius_ = input("Enter the radius: ")
radius = float (radius_)

volume = sphereVol(radius)
print ("The volume of the sphere is ", volume)

Code 5: A function in C++ and its equivalent in Python

Exercise Question #1

Predict the output for the given codes:

myList = ['UiTM', 'Perlis', 40, 'Tahun']

print (myList[1:3])

['Perlis', 40]

Exercise Question #2

Write a program in Python that is able to display the air pollution level based on
Air Pollutant Index (API) input by the user.

Table given below might help you in writing your program:

API Air Pollution Level

0 - 50 Good
51 - 100 Moderate
101 - 200 Unhealthy
201 - 300 Very unhealthy
301+ Hazardous

Here are the requirements for the program:

i) The user will input the API in the main function
ii) A function named air_pollution_level() with determine the air pollution
level and display the appropriate message to the user

def air_pollution_level(index):
if index <= 50:
print ("Good")
elif index <= 100:
print ("Moderate")
elif index <= 200:
print ("Unhealthy")
elif index <= 300:
print ("Very Unhealthy")

else:
print ("Hazardous")

#main function
API = int(input("Enter API: "))

#func call
air_pollution_level(API)

Exercise Question #3

Given the following dictionary definition:

myDictionary =
{'Name':'Mohd Ali', 'ID Number': '2011889941', 'Group': 'CSD5Af'}

Expand the codes by:

i) Adding a new key named ‘Program’ whose value is ‘CS110’ to the dictionary
ii) Adding a new key named ‘Part’ whose value is ‘5’ to the dictionary
iii) Print all the items in the dictionary

myDictionary = {'Name':'Mohd Ali', 'ID Number': '2011889941', 'Group': 'CSD5Af'}

myDictionary["Program"] = "CS110"
myDictionary["Part"] = 5

print(myDictionary)

Exercise Question #4

Convert the given code segment written in C++ into its equivalent code segment in
Python.

char gender[10];
int countF, countM;
countF = countM = 0;

for (int counter = 0; counter < 10; counter++)

{
cout<<"Enter the gender: ";
cin.getline(gender, 10);

if(strcmp(gender, "male") == 0)
countM++;
else
countF++;
}

cout<<"\nNumber of male in the class = "<<countM<<endl;

cout<<"Number of female in the class = "<<countF<<endl;

countF = countM = 0

for counter in range(0,10):

gender = input("Enter the gender (male or female): ")

if gender.lower() == "male":

print("The number of female in the class = ", {countF})
