Add Two Numbers
num1 = 1.5
num2 = 6.3
sum = float(num1) + float(num2)
print('The sum of {0} and {1} is {2}'.format(num1, num2, sum))
Swap Two Variables
x=5
y = 10
temp = x
x=y
y = temp
print('The value of x after swapping: {}'.format(x))
print('The value of y after swapping: {}'.format(y))
Find the Square Root
num = 8
#num = float(input('Enter a number: '))
num_sqrt = num ** 0.5
print('The square root of %0.3f is %0.3f'%(num ,num_sqrt))
Generate a Random Number
# importing the random module
import random
print(random.randint(0,9))
Convert Kilometers to Miles
kilometers = float(input("Enter value in kilometers: "))
# conversion factor
conv_fac = 0.621371
# calculate miles
miles = kilometers * conv_fac
print('%0.2f kilometers is equal to %0.2f miles' %(kilometers,miles))
Check if a Number is Odd or Even
# A number is even if division by 2 gives a remainder of 0.
# If the remainder is 1, it is an odd number.
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
if (num % 2) == 0:
print("{0} is Even".format(num))
else:
print("{0} is Odd".format(num))
Find the Sum of Natural Numbers
num = 5
if num < 0:
print("Enter a positive number")
else:
sum = 0
# use while loop to iterate until zero
while(num > 0):
sum += num
num -= 1
print("The sum is", sum)
Convert Decimal to Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal
dec = 15
print("The decimal value of", dec, "is:")
print(bin(dec), "in binary.")
print(oct(dec), "in octal.")
print(hex(dec), "in hexadecimal.")
Find ASCII Value of Character
ord()
c = ‘a'
print("The ASCII value of '" + c + "' is", ord(c))
_________________________________________________
chr()
>>> chr(65)
'A'
>>> chr(ord('S') + 1)
'T'
Calculate the Area of a Triangle
a=5
b=6
c=7
# a = float(input('Enter first side: '))
# b = float(input('Enter second side: '))
# c = float(input('Enter third side: '))
s = (a + b + c) / 2
area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5
print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)
Calculate the Area of a Triangle
s = (a + b + c) / 2
area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5
Find the Factors of a Number
# This function computes the factor of the argument passed
def print_factors(x):

for i in range(1, x + 1):
if x % i == 0: Do your self
print(i)
num = 10
print_factors(num
def add(x, y): Simple Calculator
return x + y

Sort words alphabetically
my_str = "Hello this Is an Example With cased letters"
words = my_str.split()
words.sort()
print("The sorted words are:")
for word in words:
print(word)
