Class 11 - Basic Coding in Python - 2

This document provides an overview of basic coding in Python part 2. It discusses compiled vs interpreted languages and mentions that Python is an interpreted language. It then covers Python REPL (Read Evaluate Print Loop), strings and variables in Python including assigning values to variables and concatenating strings. It also discusses slicing strings, modifying strings, boolean values and conditional statements like if/else in Python.

Basic coding in Python: part 2.

[email protected]
Python

Compiled languages Interpreted languages

1. Uses compilers (translators) to input your code into machine code 1. Directly writes source code
2. Are faster 2. Are slower (each command is executed sequentially)
3. C, C++, Pascal 3. Python, MATLAB

Each command (instruction) contains the programmed data + information on task

Eg. Print(Welcome)
Python REPL

Read
Evaluate
Print
Loop: get ready for the next input
Python in Replit

1. Hello World

2. Strings & Variables

3.Booleans

4. Data Collections & Functions

5. Loops
Variables

A variable is a location in memory where a program can store a value.

Rule Examples

Must begin with a letter or underscore. x, y, course, exams etc

Other characters can be letters, numbers or underscore. X2, x_2 etc

Variables are case sensitive student is different than Student etc

Python has keyword/reserved words that you cannot use as False, class, finally, is, return, None, continue for, try, True, def,
variable names: from, while, and, not, with, as, elif, if, or, yield, assert, else,
import, except etc

Remember that strings were enclosed by single/double quotation marks: ”class” or “exam” etc
Variables

To assign a value to a variable, use the = sign

x=3 • Do not use spaces


name = “XYZ" • Do not start with a number
price = 100.50 • Do not start with a capital letter

Remember that strings were enclosed by single/double quotation marks: ”class” or “exam” etc
Resources scarce: delay in Console when hitting Run
Variables: overwriting other variables

Variables can be overwritten with other values

Hit

RUN

Input own number


String Concatenation

In Python, there are several ways to concatenate strings

1. Plus (+) sign: print("hello" + " " + "world")


2. Comma: print("hello","world")
3. Interpolation: print("{0} {1}".format("hello","world"))
4. By using variables: greeting = "hello“
who = “world“
print(f"{greeting} {who}")
Hit Enter to go to
line code below
String Concatenation

In Python, there are several ways to concatenate strings

By using variables: greeting = "hello“


who = “world“
print(f"{greeting} {who}")

The curly braces are used to initialize dictionaries in Python


String Concatenation

{} Curly braces are used to create a dictionary and sets.

() Brackets are used for order of operations


Assign String to a Variable
Use an = sign and the string
Assign Multiline Strings to a Variable

Assign a multiline string to a variable by using three double quotes OR three single quotes
Finding string length with len() function

You can Copy-paste the Latin text from the above command line
Slicing (cutting) strings
1. Slice in between
1. Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon (:), to return a part of the string

2. Slice From the Start

2. Leave out the start index, so that the range will start at the first character:

3. Slice To the End


3. Leave out the end index, the range will go to the end:
Modify Strings
Boolean (true/false) values + Conditional statements (if/else)
Boolean (true/false) values + Conditional statements (if/else)

Choose a number for a and b


Conditional Statements (if)

Always with indentation (obtained if you hit TAB key)

Hit twice
Note the indentation
ENTER
