Python 4

Expressions can be evaluated to a value like a+5 or a/b+c. Statements perform tasks and may or may not return a value, and can contain expressions. Comments are lines for documentation ignored by the compiler, starting with # in Python or enclosed in triple quotes. Functions perform independent subtasks and are reusable, assigned a unique name. Blocks contain groups of statements with the same indentation level. Python style rules include maximum line length of 70 characters, using indentation for blocks, and whitespace around operators.

Expressions :

It is any legal combination of tokens which can be


evaluated to a value.

a+5 a / b +c a>b
Statement :
It is a programming instruction aimed to perform some
specific task.

When an expression is evaluated, a statement is executed.


It may or may not be resulted in a value.
A statement may contain an expression.
Comments:

These are the remark lines written in a program for


documentation purpose.
These are aimed for the programmers and ignored by
the compiler.
• Any line starting with # is a comment line in Python
• A group of lines enclosed within triple quotes are
comment lines (docstrings)

# This is a comment line

‘’’ These following lines


are comment lines also
‘’’
Functions :
A function is a subprogram aimed to perform a single
independent subtask and to be reused when needed.
Every function is assigned a unique name and can be
invoked by writing the name anywhere in the program.
Blocks & Indentation :
A group of statements when written as a part of another
statement is known as a block or code-block or suite.
if a>b :
a=a+5
b=b-2
print(“Process done”)
Statements in the same block should be within the same
indentation.
Python Style Rules and Conventions :

• There is no need of any statement termination


symbol
• Maximum length of a line should be 70 characters
• Blocks of codes are denoted by line indentations
• Blank lines are used in between class / function
definitions
• Multiple statements in a line should be avoided
though it is permitted by using ; as the separator
• Whitespace characters should be used around the
operators and after the punctuators.
• Python is case sensitive and this must be kept in mind
Variables :
Variable is a named memory location that refers to a
value which may change from time to time during
program execution.
Creating Variable :
Python variables are created by assigning a value of
desired type to them.
Roll = 15
Name = ‘Abcdef’
Agg = 93.3
Python create labels referring to the values when
variables are defined.
Variables in other languages vs
Variables in Python

• Unlike other languages variables in Python are not


storage containers
• Unlike other languages variables in Python do not
have fixed locations

Multiple Assignments

• Assigning same value to multiple variables


a = b = c = 10
• Assigning multiple values to multiple variables
a, b, c = 10, 20, 30
