Summer Training on Python Programming

Name :-Saurav Kumar Sultania

What is Python ?

 Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and
released in 1991.
It is used for:
 web development (server-side),
 software development,
 mathematics,
 system scripting.
What can Python do?

 Python can be used on a server to create web applications.


 Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
 Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.
 Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.
 Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development
Why Python?

 Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
 Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
 Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some
other programming languages.
 Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is
written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
 Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-orientated way or a functional way.
Python Syntax compared to other programming
languages

 Python was designed for readability, and has some similarities to the English language with
influence from mathematics.
 Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other programming
languages which often use semicolons or parentheses.
 Python relies on indentation, using whitespace, to define scope; such as the scope of loops,
functions and classes. Other programming languages often use curly-brackets for this
purpose.
PYTHON FEATURES
 Python provides lots of features that are listed below.
 1) Easy to Learn and Use
Python is easy to learn and use. It is developer-friendly and high-level programming language.
 2) Expressive Language
Python language is more expressive means that it is more understandable and readable.
 3) Interpreted Language
Python is an interpreted language i.e. interpreter executes the code line by line at a time. This makes
debugging easy and thus suitable for beginners.
 4) Cross-platform Language
Python can run equally on different platforms such as Windows, Linux, Unix and Macintosh etc. So, we
can say that Python is a portable language.
 5) Free and Open Source
Python language is freely available at official web address. The source-code is also available. Therefore, it
is open source.
 6) Object-Oriented Language
Python supports object-oriented language and concepts of classes and objects come into existence.
Python Casting

 int() - constructs an integer number from an integer literal, a float literal (by rounding down
to the previous whole number), or a string literal (providing the string represents a whole
number)
 float() - constructs a float number from an integer literal, a float literal or a string literal
(providing the string represents a float or an integer)
 str() - constructs a string from a wide variety of data types, including strings, integer literals
and float literals
Example
x = int(1) # x will be 1
y = int(2.8) # y will be 2
Python Operators

 Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.


 Python divides the operators in the following groups:
 Arithmetic operators
 Assignment operators
 Comparison operators
 Logical operators
 Identity operators
 Membership operators
 Bitwise operators
Python Collections

There are four collection data types in the Python programming language:
 List is a collection which is ordered and changeable. Allows duplicate members. In Python
lists are written with square brackets.
 Example
Create a List:
thislist= ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(thislist)
 Tuple is a collection which is ordered and unchangeable.
Allows duplicate members. In Python tuples are written with
round brackets.
Example
Create a Tuple:
thistuple = ("apple", "banana", "cherry")
print(thistuple)

 Set is a collection which is unordered and unindexed. No


duplicate members. In Python sets are written with curly
brackets.
Example
Create a Set:
thisset = {"apple", "banana", "cherry"}
print(thisset)
 Dictionary is a collection which is unordered, changeable and
indexed. No duplicate members. In Python dictionaries are
written with curly brackets, and they have keys and values.
Example
Create and print a dictionary:
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
print(thisdict)
File Handling

The key function for working with files in Python is the open () function.
The open () function takes two parameters; filename, and mode.
There are four different methods (modes) for opening a file:
"r" - Read - Default value. Opens a file for reading, error if the file does not exist
"a" - Append - Opens a file for appending, creates the file if it does not exist
"w" - Write - Opens a file for writing, creates the file if it does not exist
"x" - Create - Creates the specified file, returns an error if the file exists
Syntax

To open a file for reading it is enough to specify the name of the file:

f = open("demofile.txt")
Write to an Existing File
To write to an existing file, you must add a parameter to the open() function:
"a" - Append - will append to the end of the file
"w" - Write - will overwrite any existing content
Example
Open the file "demofile2.txt" and append content to the file:
f = open ("demofile2.txt", "a")
f. write("Now the file has more content!")
f.close()
f = open("demofile2.txt", "r")
print(f.read())
LEARNING OUTCOMES

 1. To acquire programming skills in core Python.


 2. To acquire Object Oriented Skills in Python
 3. To develop the skill of designing Graphical user Interfaces in Python
 4. To develop the ability to write database applications in Python
