Essentials of Python - Unit 1 Revision Sheet

Introduction

- What can Python do?

Web development, AI/ML, automation, data analysis, gaming, etc.

- Why Python?

Easy syntax, readable, portable, vast libraries, interpreted language.

- Python Syntax vs Other Languages

Uses indentation instead of braces {} or semicolons.

- Python Installation

From python.org, install and verify with python --version.

- Basic Elements

- print() -> Display output

- Comments: # single line, ''' multi-line '''

- Data Structures: List, Tuple, Set, Dictionary

- Data Types: int, float, str, bool, complex

- String Operations: Concatenation (+), Slicing ([:]), Methods (.upper(), .lower(), etc.)

- Input & Output

- input() -> takes input as string

- print() -> displays output

- Output Formatting

name = "Priyanshu"

print(f"Hello {name}")

print("Hello {}".format(name))

- Operators

Arithmetic (+, -, *, /, //, %, **)

Relational (>, <, ==, !=, >=, <=)

Logical (and, or, not)

Assignment (=, +=, -=, etc.)

Bitwise, Membership (in, not in), Identity (is, is not)

Python Program Flow

- Indentation: Controls program block (4 spaces standard)


- Decision Making

if condition:

# code

elif condition:

# code

else:

# code

- Loops

while loop

for loop with range()

Break: Exit loop

Continue: Skip iteration

- range() Syntax

range(start, stop, step)

- Assert

assert 5 > 2 # True -> no error

- Loop Example

for i in range(5):

print(i)

Functions & Modules

- Defining a Function

def greet():

print("Hello")

- Parameters: Default, Keyword, Variable-length (*args, **kwargs)

- Scope of Variables: Local & Global

- Function Documentation

def func():

'''This is a docstring'''

pass

- Lambda Functions

square = lambda x: x*x

- map() Function
result = list(map(lambda x: x+2, [1, 2, 3]))

- Modules

Importing modules:

import math

print(math.sqrt(16))

Create your own modules as .py files.
