Python Basics Summary

Python Interpreter and Interactive Mode

Python Interpreter executes code line by line.

Interactive Mode allows quick testing.

Example:

>>> 2 + 2

Data Types

Common Python Data Types:

- int: a = 10

- float: b = 3.14

- str: c = 'Hello'

- bool: d = True

- list: e = [1, 2, 3]

- tuple: f = (1, 2)

- dict: g = {'key': 'value'}

- set: h = {1, 2, 3}

Statements

Python statements are instructions.

Examples:

- Assignment: x = 5

- Conditional: if x > 0:

print('Positive')

- Loop: for i in range(3):

print(i)

Expressions

An expression is a combination of values, variables, and operators.


Python Basics Summary

Example:

- result = 3 + 4 * 2 # evaluates to 11

Boolean Values and Operators

Boolean Values: True, False

Operators:

- and: True and False -> False

- or: True or False -> True

- not: not True -> False

- Comparison: 5 > 3 -> True, 5 == 5 -> True

Strings

Strings are sequences of characters.

Examples:

s = 'Python'

- s[0] -> 'P'

- len(s) -> 6

- s.upper() -> 'PYTHON'

- 'Py' in s -> True

Arrays of Numbers

Use 'array' module or 'numpy'.

Example with array module:

import array

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

print(arr[0]) -> 1

Lists

Lists are mutable sequences.


Python Basics Summary

lst = [1, 2, 3]

lst.append(4)

print(lst) -> [1, 2, 3, 4]

lst[1] = 5

print(lst) -> [1, 5, 3, 4]

Tuples

Tuples are immutable sequences.

tup = (1, 2, 3)

print(tup[0]) -> 1

Dictionaries

Dictionaries store key-value pairs.

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

print(d['name']) -> 'Alice'

d['age'] = 26

Functions

Functions are defined using 'def'.

Example:

def greet(name):

return 'Hello, ' + name

print(greet('Vincy')) -> 'Hello, Vincy'

File Reading and Writing

Reading a file:

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

content = f.read()

Writing to a file:
Python Basics Summary

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

f.write('Hello World')
