Python Basics Summary

Python Interpreter and Interactive Mode

Interpreter executes code line by line. Interactive mode allows quick testing by typing commands directly into

the Python shell.

Data Types

Basic: int, float, str, bool

Collection: list, tuple, dict, set

Statements

Instructions Python executes. Example:

x = 5 (assignment)

print(x) (function call)

if x > 0: (control flow)

Expressions

Code that evaluates to a value, e.g., 3 + 4 * 2 returns 11.

Boolean Values and Operators

Values: True, False

Operators: and, or, not, ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=

Strings

Sequence of characters. Immutable.

s = 'Python'

s[0] = 'P', s.upper() = 'PYTHON'

Arrays of Numbers
Python Basics Summary

Use array or numpy module. Example:

import array

a = array.array('i', [1,2,3])

Lists

Ordered, mutable collection.

lst = [1, 2, 3]

lst.append(4)

Tuples

Ordered, immutable collection.

tup = (1, 2, 3)

Dictionaries

Unordered key-value pairs.

d = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

Functions

Reusable block of code.

def greet(name):

return 'Hello ' + name

File Reading and Writing

Read:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:

content = f.read()

Write:

with open('file.txt', 'w') as f:


Python Basics Summary

f.write('Hello')
