Python Programming with
Jupyter Notebook
Presented by Dr. Noorli
Python Programming Language
Python is developed by Dutch Programmer, Guido Van Rossum (1980s)
Python is one of the most powerful modern programming languages. It has been used by
giant companies and organization such as Google, Yahoo, NASA etc.
Compared with other programming languages (e.g C++), Python allows using variables
without declaring them, and it relies on indentation as control structures.
Python is a free software developing tools and offers a lot of free source code over the
internet.
Expert programmer as well as beginners can use Python to solve interesting problems
faster than other languages.
In this course, Python 3 will be used and the up to date version is Python 3.9
Jupyter Notebook IDE
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software that is used by programmers to
create, run and debug their developed program in one application without the need to open
additional programs.
Jupyter Notebook will be used as the main IDE.
Jupyter Notebook is an open-source IDE for Python programming that allow users to
create and share document that contain live code, equation, visualization and narrative text.
It is a web-based application and run using internet browser such as Google Chrome and
Microsoft Edge.
WORKING WITH JUPYTER NOTEBOOK IDE
(1) Create a New Notebook program
Click New, and choose
Python 3 from
dropdown menu
Can be edited for file
name
Notebook editor interface
(2) Running Code in Cell
Cell is the location to write Python Code.
It can be written into multiple snippets and put them into cells so they can be executed
individually.
Type In cell ln [1] and ln [2]
Then click button
Can click + to add cell
Can add cell above and below current cell
(3) Kernel Menu
A kernel is defined as a program that executes and introspects the user’s code.
It comprises multiple selection include Interrupt, Restart, Restart & Clear Output, Restart
and Run All, Reconnect and Shutdown. Most of times, users work with Kernel menu to
debug or restarting the program.
(4) Exporting Notebook Python File
The moment when user create new notebook program, a new IPython Notebook file, with
extension . Ipynb will be automatically created at the location where user create new
notebook.
If the user want to export code from notebook to Python file;
Step 1
Step 2
EXAMPLE
Write and Run a program of additional two numbers
TYPES OF PROGRAMMING ERRORS
SYNTAX ERROR
LOGIC ERROR
RUNTIME ERROR
SYNTAX ERROR
Common mistake -
grammatical mistake due to
misplacement of punctuation,
spelling error etc.
Program will not compile and
run untill been fix by
programmer
LOGIC ERROR
Mistake in a source code of program that cause incorrect
input.
Untraceable by the compiler and no error message
Programmer shoud validate and cross checking their output to
prevent this type of error
RUNTIME ERROR
Error that occurs when program is running
Usually occurs due to insufficient amount of computer memory
Can be noticed when the program crash, unexpected terminate
while running
GOOD PROGRAMMING STYLE
Good programming style with proper documentation make the program easy to read,
prevent error and ease to maintain in the future by other programmer.
The appropriate usage of comment that initiated by symbol # help to separate the portion
of the programming statement according to each task.
Proper spacing also make program look more neat and easy to read.
For example sum=num1+num2 can be more clear if the code is written as sum = num1 +
num2
