6. Exception Handling
7. Topics Mentioned But Not Covered

📌 1. Introduction
 Begins with a simple Hello World example.
 Introduces the Zen of Python by Tim Peters:

“Readability counts.”
“Simple is better than complex.”
“There should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it.”

🧮 2. Variables
 Variables are references to objects (not containers of data).
 Example of reassignment:
 x = 3
 y = x
 x = 2 # y stays as 3
 Conditional assignment using if and inline expressions:
 label = 'Pos' if x > 0 else 'Neg'
🔤 3. Basic Types
➤ Strings

 Strings are immutable, iterable, and support many built-in methods.


 Examples: .replace(), .upper(), .format(), and f-strings.

➤ Enums

 Used to define sets of named constants:


 from enum import Enum
 class Action(Enum):
 SAVE = 1
 LOAD = 2

📦 4. Containers
➤ Lists

 Mutable, ordered collections.


 Features: append, extend, slice, and sort with keys and reverse.

➤ Tuples

 Like lists but immutable — great for fixed structures.

➤ Sets

 Unordered collections with unique elements.


 Support operations like union, intersection, difference.

➤ Dictionaries

 Key-value pairs with fast lookup.


 Common operations: .items(), .get(), and dictionary comprehensions.

🔧 5. Functions
➤ Arguments

 Use of default values, *args, **kwargs, and keyword-only arguments.


➤ Recursion

 Classic example:
 def factorial(n):
 return n * factorial(n-1) if n > 1 else 1

➤ Memoization

 Improves performance by caching results.

➤ Decorators

 Wrap functions to modify behavior without altering core logic.

➤ Context Managers

 Using with statements for safe resource handling.

🚨 6. Exception Handling
 Encourages handling errors gracefully with try/except/finally.
 Promotes “asking forgiveness over permission” — Python’s error-handling philosophy.

📘 7. Topics Mentioned But Not Detailed


 Object-Oriented Programming
 Packaging
 Documentation
 Unit Testing
 Continuous Integration
