Intro To CS Lec04

The document explains Boolean expressions, which evaluate to True or False, and how they can be combined using logical operators. It also covers the concept of functions in Python, including built-in and user-defined functions, and how to define and call them. Additionally, it discusses the use of modules to import predefined functions into the workspace.

Boolean

Expressions
<class 'bool'>

True

 False
Boolean Algebra
Boolean Expressions

Boolean expressions are expressions that


evaluate to one of two Boolean values:
True or False.
Boolean Expressions

Some languages use 0 or 1

Others have a data type

Python has literals True and False


Boolean Expressions
>>> 2 < 3
True
>>> 3 < 2
False
>>> 5 - 1 > 2 + 1
True
Boolean Expressions
>>> 3 == 3
True
>>> 3 + 5 == 4 + 4
True
>>> 3 == 5 - 3
False
Boolean Expressions
>>> 3 <= 4
True
>>> 3 >= 4
False
>>> 3 != 4
True
Comparison operators
Logical Operators

Boolean expressions can be combined


together using Boolean operators and, or,
and not to form larger Boolean expressions.
Boolean Expressions

>>> 2 < 3 and 4 > 5

False

>>> 2 < 3 and True

True
Operator Precedence
a and b or c

(a and b) or c
not
a and (b or c)
Functions
Function

Function is a named sequence of


statements that performs a
computation.
Functions

Functions are “self contained”


modules of code that accomplish a
specific task.
Functions

“take in” data  process it  return result


4
(an integer)
sqrt () 2
Function components

 Name of the function

 The sequence of statements that

perform a computation
Abstraction
Function types

There are two kinds of functions in Python.

 Built-in functions that are provided as part of

Python type(), float(), int() ...


 User-defined functions that we define ourselves

and then use


Built-in Functions

abs(-2) 2

max(7,8,12) 12
“Calling” functions
Argument

>>> type(32)
Arguments
 An argument is a value we pass into the function as
its input when we call the function
 We use arguments so we can direct the function to do
different kinds of work when we call it at different
times
 We put the arguments in parenthesis after the name
of the function
Modules
Import

Includes predefined functions in


workspace

>>> import math

>>> math.sqrt(20)
Math module

>>> math.exp(math.log(10))

>>> math.cos(60)
Definitions and Uses

Once we have defined a function, we can

call (or invoke) it as many times as we like


This is the store and reuse pattern
Function Definition(Python)

def function_name (parameters):

statements
Say hello twice
def hello_twice():
print(‘hello’)
print(‘hello’)

>>> hello_twice()
def print_chorus():
print(“Girls hit your hallelujah …Woo!.”)
print(“Girls hit your hallelujah …Woo!.”)
print(“Cause uptown funk gon’ give it to you”)

>>> print(‘Break it down’)


>>> print_chorus()
>>> print_chorus()
Square function

def square(num):
print(num*num)

>>> square()
>>> square(3)
