Need For Programming

?
 NEED FOR PROGRAMMING - EXAMPLE
Railway Ticket Booking System

Can reserve railway

tickets only from the But because of
Can only book
quota of that station programming, two-
tickets from that
Stand in long queues Even if other way tickets can be
station and cannot
stations quota is not booked from
book return tickets
filled, we can not anywhere
reserve the tickets
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES

Languages
 WHY PYTHON FOR DATA SCIENCE?

 Simple syntax
 Multiple libraries for data science
applications
 GETTING STARTED WITH PYTHON

Anaconda Jupyter Notebook

 Open-Source distribution  Main environment for writing Python code

throughout this program
 Simplifies package management and
deployment  Can write both code and normal text in the
Notebooks
 Notebooks are easy to read and share
Jupyter Notebook Walk-
Through: Demo
WRITE YOUR FIRST PROGRAM IN PYTHON
Arithmetic Operations
ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS AND OPERATOR PRECEDENCE
Python Arithmetic Operators

Addition (+) % Modulus

Subtraction (-) (/) Division

Multiplication (*) (**) Exponentiation

(//)

Floor division
Arithmetic Operations: Demo
OPERATOR PRECEDENCE
Poll 3 (20 Sec)

precedence.
print (6 * 2 // 3)
 2
 4
 12
Poll 3 (Answer)
Solve the expression given below on the basis of your understanding of operator
precedence.
print (6 * 2 // 3)
 2
 4
 12
Variables and Data Types
 VARIABLES

 There is a need to store the value obtained after the computation to be used later, and this is
when variables come into play
 DATA TYPES

 A classification that specifies

 The type of value a variable has, and
 The type of mathematical, relational or logical operations that can be applied to it without
causing an error
Integer

Numeric Complex Number

Dictionary Float
Python
Data Boolean

Set Strings

Sequence Type List

Tuple
 EXAMPLES OF DATA
