Language Fundamentals

Introduction
 Python is a general purpose high level programming language.

 Python was developed by Guido Van Rossam in 1989 while working at National
Research Institute at Netherlands.

 But officially Python was made available to public in 1991. The official Date of Birth for
Python is : Feb 20th 1991.

 Python is recommended as first programming language for beginners.

Eg1: To print Helloworld:

Java:

1) public class HelloWorld

2) {
3) p s v main(String[] args)
4) {
5) SOP("Hello world");
6) }
7) }

C:

1) #include<stdio.h>
2) void main()
3) {
4) print("Hello world");
5) }

Python:

print("Hello World")

Eg2: To print the sum of 2 numbers

Java:

1) public class Add

2) {
3) public static void main(String[] args)
4) {
5) int a,b;
6) a =10;
7) b=20;
8) System.out.println("The Sum:"+(a+b));
9) }
10) }

C:

1) #include <stdio.h>
2)
3) void main()
4) {
5) int a,b;
6) a =10;
7) b=20;
8) printf("The Sum:%d",(a+b));
9) }

Python:

1) a=10
2) b=20
3) print("The Sum:",(a+b))

The name Python was selected from the TV Show

"The Complete
Monty
Python's
Circus", which was broadcasted in BBC from 1969 to 1974.

Guido developed Python language by taking almost all programming features from
different languages

1. Functional Programming Features from C

2. Object Oriented Programming Features from C++
3. Scripting Language Features from Perl and Shell Script

4. Modular Programming Features from Modula-3

Most of syntax in Python Derived from C and ABC languages.

Where we can use Python:

We can use everywhere. The most common important application areas are

1. For developing Desktop Applications

2. For developing web Applications
3. For developing database Applications
4. For Network Programming
5. For developing games
6. For Data Analysis Applications
7. For Machine Learning
8. For developing Artificial Intelligence Applications
9. For IOT
...

Note:

Internally Google and Youtube use Python coding

NASA and Nework Stock Exchange Applications developed by Python.
Top Software companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Yahoo using Python.

Features of Python:
1. Simple and easy to learn:

Python is a simple programming language. When we read Python program,we can feel like
reading english statements.
The syntaxes are very simple and only 30+ kerywords are available.
When compared with other languages, we can write programs with very less number of
lines. Hence more readability and simplicity.
We can reduce development and cost of the project.

2. Freeware and Open Source:

We can use Python software without any licence and it is freeware.

Its source code is open,so that we can we can customize based on our requirement.

Eg: Jython is customized version of Python to work with Java Applications.

3. High Level Programming language:

Python is high level programming language and hence it is programmer friendly language.
Being a programmer we are not required to concentrate low level activities like memory
management and security etc..

4. Platform Independent:

Once we write a Python program,it can run on any platform without rewriting once again.
Internally PVM is responsible to convert into machine understandable form.

5. Portability:

Python programs are portable. ie we can migrate from one platform to another platform
very easily. Python programs will provide same results on any paltform.

6. Dynamically Typed:

In Python we are not required to declare type for variables. Whenever we are assigning
the value, based on value, type will be allocated automatically.Hence Python is considered
as dynamically typed language.

But Java, C etc are Statically Typed Languages b'z we have to provide type at the beginning
only.

This dynamic typing nature will provide more flexibility to the programmer.

7. Both Procedure Oriented and Object Oriented:

Python language supports both Procedure oriented (like C, pascal etc) and object oriented
(like C++,Java) features. Hence we can get benefits of both like security and reusability etc

8. Interpreted:

We are not required to compile Python programs explcitly. Internally Python interpreter
will take care that compilation.

If compilation fails interpreter raised syntax errors. Once compilation success then PVM
(Python Virtual Machine) is responsible to execute.

9. Extensible:

We can use other language programs in Python.

The main advantages of this approach are:

1. We can use already existing legacy non-Python code
2. We can improve performance of the application

10. Embedded:

We can use Python programs in any other language programs.

i.e we can embedd Python programs anywhere.

11. Extensive Library:

Python has a rich inbuilt library.

Being a programmer we can use this library directly and we are not responsible to
implement the functionality.

etc...

Limitations of Python:
1. Performance wise not up to the mark b'z it is interpreted language.
2. Not using for mobile Applications

Flavors of Python:

1.CPython:
It is the standard flavor of Python. It can be used to work with C lanugage Applications

2. Jython or JPython:
It is for Java Applications. It can run on JVM

3. IronPython:
It is for C#.Net platform

4.PyPy:
The main advantage of PyPy is performance will be improved because JIT compiler is
available inside PVM.

5.RubyPython
For Ruby Platforms

6. AnacondaPython
It is specially designed for handling large volume of data processing.

Identifiers
A name in Python program is called identifier.
It can be class name or function name or module name or variable name.

a = 10

Rules to define identifiers in Python:

1. The only allowed characters in Python are

 alphabet symbols(either lower case or upper case)

 digits(0 to 9)
 underscore symbol(_)

By mistake if we are using any other symbol like $ then we will get syntax error.

 cash = 10 √
 ca$h =20 

2. Identifier should not starts with digit

 123total 
 total123 √

3. Identifiers are case sensitive. Of course Python language is case sensitive language.

 total=10
 TOTAL=999
 print(total) #10
 print(TOTAL) #999

Identifier:
1. Alphabet Symbols (Either Upper case OR Lower case)

2. If Identifier is start with Underscore (_) then it indicates it is private.

3. Identifier should not start with Digits.

4. Identifiers are case sensitive.

5. We cannot use reserved words as identifiers

Eg: def=10 

6. There is no length limit for Python identifiers. But not recommended to use too lengthy
identifiers.

7. Dollor ($) Symbol is not allowed in Python.

Q. Which of the following are valid Python identifiers?

1) 123total 
2) total123 √
3) java2share √
4) ca$h 
5) _abc_abc_ √
6) def 
7) if 

Note:

1. If identifier starts with _ symbol then it indicates that it is private

2. If identifier starts with __(two under score symbols) indicating that strongly private
identifier.
3.If the identifier starts and ends with two underscore symbols then the identifier is
language defined special name,which is also known as magic methods.

Eg: __add__

 Reserved Words
In Python some words are reserved to represent some meaning or functionality. Such type
of words are called Reserved words.

There are 33 reserved words available in Python.

 True,False,None
 and, or ,not,is
 if,elif,else
 while,for,break,continue,return,in,yield
 try,except,finally,raise,assert
 import,from,as,class,def,pass,global,nonlocal,lambda,del,with

Note:
1. All Reserved words in Python contain only alphabet symbols.

2. Except the following 3 reserved words, all contain only lower case alphabet symbols.

 True
 False
 None

Eg: a= true 
a=True √

>>> import keyword

>>> keyword.kwlist
['False', 'None', 'True', 'and', 'as', 'assert', 'break', 'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del', 'elif', 'else',
'except', 'finally', 'for', 'from', 'global', 'if', 'import', 'in', 'is', 'lambda', 'nonlocal', 'not', 'or',
'pass', 'raise', 'return', 'try', 'while', 'with', 'yield']

Data Types
Data Type represent the type of data present inside a variable.
In Python we are not required to specify the type explicitly. Based on value provided,the
type will be assigned automatically.Hence Python is Dynamically Typed Language.

Python contains the following inbuilt data types

1. int
2. float
3.complex
4.bool
5.str
6.bytes
7.bytearray
8.range
9.list
10.tuple
11.set
12.frozenset
13.dict
14.None

10
a = 10 a
a = 20
20

a
a = 10
b = 10 10
b

Note: Python contains several inbuilt functions

1.type()
to check the type of variable

2. id()
to get address of object

3. print()
to print the value

In Python everything is object

int data type:

We can use int data type to represent whole numbers (integral values)
Eg:
a=10
type(a) #int

Note:
In Python2 we have long data type to represent very large integral values.
But in Python3 there is no long type explicitly and we can represent long values also by
using int type only.

We can represent int values in the following ways

1. Decimal form
2. Binary form
3. Octal form
4. Hexa decimal form

1. Decimal form(base-10):

It is the default number system in Python

The allowed digits are: 0 to 9
Eg: a =10

2. Binary form(Base-2):

The allowed digits are : 0 & 1

Literal value should be prefixed with 0b or 0B

Eg: a = 0B1111
a =0B123
a=b111

3. Octal Form(Base-8):

The allowed digits are : 0 to 7

Literal value should be prefixed with 0o or 0O.

Eg: a=0o123
a=0o786

4. Hexa Decimal Form(Base-16):

The allowed digits are : 0 to 9, a-f (both lower and upper cases are allowed)
Literal value should be prefixed with 0x or 0X

Eg:
a =0XFACE
a=0XBeef
a =0XBeer

Note: Being a programmer we can specify literal values in decimal, binary, octal and hexa
decimal forms. But PVM will always provide values only in decimal form.

a=10
b=0o10
c=0X10
d=0B10
print(a)10
print(b)8
print(c)16
print(d)2

Base Conversions
Python provide the following in-built functions for base conversions

1.bin():

We can use bin() to convert from any base to binary

Eg:

1) >>> bin(15)
2) '0b1111'
3) >>> bin(0o11)
4) '0b1001'
5) >>> bin(0X10)
6) '0b10000'

2. oct():

We can use oct() to convert from any base to octal

12  040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 | www.durgasoft.com
Eg:

1) >>> oct(10)
2) '0o12'
3) >>> oct(0B1111)
4) '0o17'
5) >>> oct(0X123)
6) '0o443'

3. hex():

We can use hex() to convert from any base to hexa decimal

Eg:

1) >>> hex(100)
2) '0x64'
3) >>> hex(0B111111)
4) '0x3f'
5) >>> hex(0o12345)
6) '0x14e5'

float data type:

We can use float data type to represent floating point values (decimal values)

Eg: f=1.234
type(f) float

We can also represent floating point values by using exponential form (scientific notation)

Eg: f=1.2e3
print(f) 1200.0
instead of 'e' we can use 'E'

The main advantage of exponential form is we can represent big values in less memory.

***Note:
We can represent int values in decimal, binary, octal and hexa decimal forms. But we can
represent float values only by using decimal form.

Eg:

1) >>> f=0B11.01
2) File "<stdin>", line 1
3) f=0B11.01

7) >>> f=0o123.456
8) SyntaxError: invalid syntax
9)
10) >>> f=0X123.456
11) SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Complex Data Type:

A complex number is of the form

j2 = -1
a + bj
j = √−𝟏
Real Part Imaginary Part

a and b contain intergers or floating point values

Eg:
3+5j
10+5.5j
0.5+0.1j

In the real part if we use int value then we can specify that either by decimal,octal,binary
or hexa decimal form.
But imaginary part should be specified only by using decimal form.

1) >>> a=0B11+5j
2) >>> a
3) (3+5j)
4) >>> a=3+0B11j
5) SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Even we can perform operations on complex type values.

1) >>> a=10+1.5j
2) >>> b=20+2.5j
3) >>> c=a+b
4) >>> print(c)
5) (30+4j)
6) >>> type(c)
7) <class 'complex'>

Note: Complex data type has some inbuilt attributes to retrieve the real part and
imaginary part

c=10.5+3.6j

c.real==>10.5
c.imag==>3.6

We can use complex type generally in scientific Applications and electrical engineering
Applications.

4.bool data type:

We can use this data type to represent boolean values.
The only allowed values for this data type are:
True and False

Internally Python represents True as 1 and False as 0

b=True
type(b) =>bool

Eg:
a=10
b=20
c=a<b
print(c)==>True

True+True==>2
True-False==>1

str type:
str represents String data type.

A String is a sequence of characters enclosed within single quotes or double quotes.

s1='durga'
s1="durga"

By using single quotes or double quotes we cannot represent multi line string literals.

s1="durga

15  040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 | www.durgasoft.com
 soft"

For this requirement we should go for triple single quotes(''') or triple double quotes(""")

s1='''durga
soft'''

s1="""durga
soft"""

We can also use triple quotes to use single quote or double quote in our String.

''' This is " character'''

' This i " Character '
We can embed one string in another string

'''This "Python class very helpful" for java students'''

Slicing of Strings:
slice means a piece
[ ] operator is called slice operator,which can be used to retrieve parts of String.
In Python Strings follows zero based index.
The index can be either +ve or -ve.
+ve index means forward direction from Left to Right
-ve index means backward direction from Right to Left

Note:
1. In Python the following data types are considered as Fundamental Data types

 int
 float
 complex
 bool
 str

2. In Python,we can represent char values also by using str type and explicitly char type is
not available.

Eg:

1) >>> c='a'
2) >>> type(c)
3) <class 'str'>

3. long Data Type is available in Python2 but not in Python3. In Python3 long values also
we can represent by using int type only.

4. In Python we can present char Value also by using str Type and explicitly char Type is
not available.

 Type Casting
We can convert one type value to another type. This conversion is called Typecasting or
Type coersion.
The following are various inbuilt functions for type casting.

1. int()
2. float()
3. complex()
4. bool()
5. str()

1.int():

We can use this function to convert values from other types to int

Eg:

1) >>> int(123.987)
2) 123
3) >>> int(10+5j)
4) TypeError: can't convert complex to int
5) >>> int(True)
6) 1
7) >>> int(False)
8) 0
9) >>> int("10")
10) 10
11) >>> int("10.5")
12) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '10.5'
13) >>> int("ten")
14) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'ten'
15) >>> int("0B1111")
16) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '0B1111'

Note:

1. We can convert from any type to int except complex type.

2. If we want to convert str type to int type, compulsary str should contain only integral
value and should be specified in base-10

2. float():

We can use float() function to convert other type values to float type.

1) >>> float(10)
2) 10.0
3) >>> float(10+5j)
4) TypeError: can't convert complex to float
5) >>> float(True)
6) 1.0
7) >>> float(False)
8) 0.0
9) >>> float("10")
10) 10.0
11) >>> float("10.5")
12) 10.5
13) >>> float("ten")
14) ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'ten'
15) >>> float("0B1111")
16) ValueError: could not convert string to float: '0B1111'

Note:
1. We can convert any type value to float type except complex type.

2. Whenever we are trying to convert str type to float type compulsary str should be
either integral or floating point literal and should be specified only in base-10.

3.complex():

We can use complex() function to convert other types to complex type.

Form-1: complex(x)
We can use this function to convert x into complex number with real part x and imaginary
part 0.

Eg:

1) complex(10)==>10+0j
2) complex(10.5)===>10.5+0j
3) complex(True)==>1+0j
4) complex(False)==>0j
5) complex("10")==>10+0j
6) complex("10.5")==>10.5+0j
7) complex("ten")
8) ValueError: complex() arg is a malformed string

Form-2: complex(x,y)

We can use this method to convert x and y into complex number such that x will be real
part and y will be imaginary part.

Eg: complex(10,-2)==>10-2j
complex(True,False)==>1+0j

4. bool():

We can use this function to convert other type values to bool type.

Eg:

1) bool(0)==>False
2) bool(1)==>True
3) bool(10)===>True
4) bool(10.5)===>True
5) bool(0.178)==>True
6) bool(0.0)==>False
7) bool(10-2j)==>True
8) bool(0+1.5j)==>True
9) bool(0+0j)==>False
10) bool("True")==>True
11) bool("False")==>True

5. str():

We can use this method to convert other type values to str type

Eg:

1) >>> str(10)
2) '10'
3) >>> str(10.5)
4) '10.5'
5) >>> str(10+5j)
6) '(10+5j)'
7) >>> str(True)
8) 'True'

Fundamental Data Types vs Immutability:

All Fundamental Data types are immutable. i.e once we creates an object,we cannot
perform any changes in that object. If we are trying to change then with those changes a
new object will be created. This non-chageable behaviour is called immutability.

In Python if a new object is required, then PVM wont create object immediately. First it
will check is any object available with the required content or not. If available then
existing object will be reused. If it is not available then only a new object will be created.
The advantage of this approach is memory utilization and performance will be improved.

But the problem in this approach is,several references pointing to the same object,by
using one reference if we are allowed to change the content in the existing object then the
remaining references will be effected. To prevent this immutability concept is required.
According to this once creates an object we are not allowed to change content. If we are
trying to change with those changes a new object will be created.

Eg:

1) >>> a=10
2) >>> b=10
3) >>> a is b
4) True
5) >>> id(a)
6) 1572353952
7) >>> id(b)
8) 1572353952
9) >>>

>>> a=10 >>> a=10+5j >>> a=True >>> a='durga'

>>> b=10 >>> b=10+5j >>> b=True >>> b='durga'

>>> id(a) >>> a is b >>> a is b >>> a is b

1572353952 False True True

>>> id(b) >>> id(a) >>> id(a) >>> id(a)

1572353952 15980256 1572172624 16378848

bytes Data Type:

bytes data type represens a group of byte numbers just like an array.

Eg:

1) x = [10,20,30,40]
2) b = bytes(x)
3) type(b)==>bytes
4) print(b[0])==> 10
5) print(b[-1])==> 40
6) >>> for i in b : print(i)
7)
8) 10
9) 20
10) 30
11) 40

Conclusion 1:

The only allowed values for byte data type are 0 to 256. By mistake if we are trying to
provide any other values then we will get value error.

Conclusion 2:

Once we creates bytes data type value, we cannot change its values,otherwise we will get
TypeError.

Eg:

1) >>> x=[10,20,30,40]
2) >>> b=bytes(x)
3) >>> b[0]=100
4) TypeError: 'bytes' object does not support item assignment

bytearray Data type:

bytearray is exactly same as bytes data type except that its elements can be modified.

Eg 1:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) b = bytearray(x)
3) for i in b : print(i)
4) 10

Eg 2:

1) >>> x =[10,256]
2) >>> b = bytearray(x)
3) ValueError: byte must be in range(0, 256)

list data type:

If we want to represent a group of values as a single entity where insertion order required
to preserve and duplicates are allowed then we should go for list data type.

1. insertion order is preserved

2. heterogeneous objects are allowed
3. duplicates are allowed
4. Growable in nature
5. values should be enclosed within square brackets.

Eg:

1) list=[10,10.5,'durga',True,10]
2) print(list) # [10,10.5,'durga',True,10]

Eg:

1) list=[10,20,30,40]
2) >>> list[0]
3) 10
4) >>> list[-1]
5) 40
6) >>> list[1:3]
7) [20, 30]
8) >>> list[0]=100
9) >>> for i in list:print(i)
10) ...
11) 100
12) 20
13) 30

list is growable in nature. i.e based on our requirement we can increase or decrease the
size.

1) >>> list=[10,20,30]
2) >>> list.append("durga")
3) >>> list
4) [10, 20, 30, 'durga']
5) >>> list.remove(20)
6) >>> list
7) [10, 30, 'durga']
8) >>> list2=list*2
9) >>> list2
10) [10, 30, 'durga', 10, 30, 'durga']

Note: An ordered, mutable, heterogenous collection of eleemnts is nothing but list, where
duplicates also allowed.

tuple data type:

tuple data type is exactly same as list data type except that it is immutable.i.e we cannot
chage values.

Tuple elements can be represented within parenthesis.

Eg:

1) t=(10,20,30,40)
2) type(t)
3) <class 'tuple'>
4) t[0]=100
5) TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
6) >>> t.append("durga")
7) AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'append'
8) >>> t.remove(10)
9) AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'remove'

Note: tuple is the read only version of list

range Data Type:

range Data Type represents a sequence of numbers.
The elements present in range Data type are not modifiable. i.e range Data type is
immutable.

Form-1: range(10)
generate numbers from 0 to 9

Eg:
r=range(10)
for i in r : print(i) 0 to 9

Form-2: range(10,20)

generate numbers from 10 to 19

r = range(10,20)
for i in r : print(i) 10 to 19

Form-3: range(10,20,2)

2 means increment value

r = range(10,20,2)
for i in r : print(i) 10,12,14,16,18

We can access elements present in the range Data Type by using index.
r=range(10,20)
r[0]==>10
r[15]==>IndexError: range object index out of range

We cannot modify the values of range data type

Eg:
r[0]=100
TypeError: 'range' object does not support item assignment

We can create a list of values with range data type

Eg:

1) >>> l = list(range(10))
2) >>> l
3) [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

set Data Type:

If we want to represent a group of values without duplicates where order is not important
then we should go for set Data Type.

2. duplicates are not allowed
3. heterogeneous objects are allowed
4. index concept is not applicable
5. It is mutable collection
6. Growable in nature

Eg:

1) s={100,0,10,200,10,'durga'}
2) s # {0, 100, 'durga', 200, 10}
3) s[0] ==>TypeError: 'set' object does not support indexing

10) >>> s.remove(100)
11) >>> s
12) {0, 'durga', 200, 10, 60}

frozenset Data Type:

It is exactly same as set except that it is immutable.
Hence we cannot use add or remove functions.

1) >>> s={10,20,30,40}
2) >>> fs=frozenset(s)
3) >>> type(fs)
4) <class 'frozenset'>
5) >>> fs

dict Data Type:
If we want to represent a group of values as key-value pairs then we should go for dict
data type.

Eg:
d={101:'durga',102:'ravi',103:'shiva'}

Duplicate keys are not allowed but values can be duplicated. If we are trying to insert an
entry with duplicate key then old value will be replaced with new value.

Eg:

1. >>> d={101:'durga',102:'ravi',103:'shiva'}
2. >>> d[101]='sunny'
3. >>> d
4. {101: 'sunny', 102: 'ravi', 103: 'shiva'}
5.
6. We can create empty dictionary as follows
7. d={ }
8. We can add key-value pairs as follows
9. d['a']='apple'
10. d['b']='banana'
11. print(d)

Note: dict is mutable and the order wont be preserved.

Note:

1. In general we can use bytes and bytearray data types to represent binary information
like images,video files etc
2. In Python2 long data type is available. But in Python3 it is not available and we can
represent long values also by using int type only.
3. In Python there is no char data type. Hence we can represent char values also by using
str type.

None Data Type:

None means Nothing or No value associated.

If the value is not available,then to handle such type of cases None introduced.
It is something like null value in Java.
Eg:

print(m1())
None

Escape Characters:
In String literals we can use esacpe characters to associate a special meaning.

1) >>> s="durga\nsoftware"
2) >>> print(s)
3) durga
4) software
5) >>> s="durga\tsoftware"
6) >>> print(s)
7) durga software
8) >>> s="This is " symbol"
9) File "<stdin>", line 1
10) s="This is " symbol"
11) ^
12) SyntaxError: invalid syntax
13) >>> s="This is \" symbol"
14) >>> print(s)

 Operators
Operator is a symbol that performs certain operations.
Python provides the following set of operators

1. Arithmetic Operators
2. Relational Operators or Comparison Operators
3. Logical operators
4. Bitwise oeprators
5. Assignment operators
6. Special operators

1. Arithmetic Operators:
+ ==>Addition
- ==>Subtraction
* ==>Multiplication
/ ==>Division operator
% ===>Modulo operator

// ==>Floor Division operator

** ==>Exponent operator or power operator

Eg: test.py:

1) a=10
2) b=2
3) print('a+b=',a+b)
4) print('a-b=',a-b)
5) print('a*b=',a*b)
6) print('a/b=',a/b)
7) print('a//b=',a//b)
8) print('a%b=',a%b)
9) print('a**b=',a**b)

1) Python test.py or py test.py

2) a+b= 12
3) a-b= 8
4) a*b= 20
5) a/b= 5.0
6) a//b= 5
7) a%b= 0
8) a**b= 100

Eg:

1) a = 10.5
2) b=2
3)
4) a+b= 12.5
5) a-b= 8.5
6) a*b= 21.0
7) a/b= 5.25
8) a//b= 5.0
9) a%b= 0.5
10) a**b= 110.25

Eg:
10/2==>5.0
10//2==>5
10.0/2===>5.0
10.0//2===>5.0

Note: / operator always performs floating point arithmetic. Hence it will always returns
float value.

But Floor division (//) can perform both floating point and integral arithmetic. If
arguments are int type then result is int type. If atleast one argument is float type then
result is float type.

Note:

We can use +,* operators for str type also.

If we want to use + operator for str type then compulsory both arguments should be str
type only otherwise we will get error.

Note: For any number x,

x/0 and x%0 always raises "ZeroDivisionError"

Relational Operators:
>,>=,<,<=

Eg 1:

1) a=10
2) b=20
3) print("a > b is ",a>b)
4) print("a >= b is ",a>=b)
5) print("a < b is ",a<b)
6) print("a <= b is ",a<=b)
7)
8) a > b is False
9) a >= b is False
10) a < b is True
11) a <= b is True

We can apply relational operators for str types also

Eg 2:

1) a="durga"
2) b="durga"
3) print("a > b is ",a>b)
4) print("a >= b is ",a>=b)
5) print("a < b is ",a<b)

2) print(True>=True) True
3) print(10 >True) True
4) print(False > True) False
5)
6) print(10>'durga')

2) b=20
3) if(a>b):
4) print("a is greater than b")
5) else:
6) print("a is not greater than b")

Outputa is not greater than b

Note: Chaining of relational operators is possible. In the chaining, if all comparisons

returns True then only result is True. If atleast one comparison returns False then the
result is False

Eg:

1) 10<20 ==>True
2) 10<20<30 ==>True
3) 10<20<30<40 ==>True
4) 10<20<30<40>50 ==>False

equality operators:
== , !=

We can apply these operators for any type even for incompatible types also

1) >>> 10==20
2) False
3) >>> 10!= 20

Logical Operators:
and, or ,not

We can apply for all types.

For boolean types behaviour:

and ==>If both arguments are True then only result is True
or ====>If atleast one arugemnt is True then result is True
not ==>complement

True and False ==>False

True or False ===>True
not False ==>True

Operator Description
& If both bits are 1 then only result is 1 otherwise result is 0
| If atleast one bit is 1 then result is 1 otherwise result is 0
^ If bits are different then only result is 1 otherwise result is 0
~ bitwise complement operator i.e 1 means 0 and 0 means 1
>> Bitwise Left shift Operator
<< Bitwise Right shift Operator

bitwise complement operator(~):

We have to apply complement for total bits.

Eg: print(~5) ==>-6

Note:
The most significant bit acts as sign bit. 0 value represents +ve number where as 1
represents -ve value.
positive numbers will be repesented directly in the memory where as -ve numbers will be
represented indirectly in 2's complement form.

Shift Operators:
<< Left shift operator
After shifting the empty cells we have to fill with zero

print(10<<2)==>40

0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0

0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0

>> Right Shift operator

After shifting the empty cells we have to fill with sign bit.( 0 for +ve and 1 for -ve)

print(10>>2) ==>2

0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

We can apply bitwise operators for boolean types also

print(True & False) ==>False

print(True | False) ===>True
print(True ^ False) ==>True
print(~True) ==>-2
print(True<<2) ==>4
print(True>>2) ==>0

Assignment Operators:
We can use assignment operator to assign value to the variable.

Eg:
x=10

We can combine asignment operator with some other operator to form compound
assignment operator.

Eg: x+=10 ====> x = x+10

The following is the list of all possible compound assignment operators in Python

+=
-=
*=
/=
%=
//=
**=
&=
|=
^=

1) x=10
2) x+=20
3) print(x) ==>30

Eg:

1) x=10
2) x&=5
3) print(x) ==>0

Special operators:
Python defines the following 2 special operators

1. Identity Operators
2. Membership operators

1. Identity Operators

We can use identity operators for address comparison .

2 identity operators are available
1. is
2. is not

r1 is r2 returns True if both r1 and r2 are pointing to the same object

r1 is not r2 returns True if both r1 and r2 are not pointing to the same object

Eg:

1) a=10
2) b=10
3) print(a is b) True
4) x=True
5) y=True
6) print( x is y) True

Eg:

1) a="durga"
2) b="durga"
3) print(id(a))
4) print(id(b))
5) print(a is b)

Eg:

1) list1=["one","two","three"]
2) list2=["one","two","three"]
3) print(id(list1))
4) print(id(list2))
5) print(list1 is list2) False
6) print(list1 is not list2) True
7) print(list1 == list2) True

Note:
We can use is operator for address comparison where as == operator for content
comparison.

2. Membership operators:

We can use Membership operators to check whether the given object present in the
given collection.(It may be String,List,Set,Tuple or Dict)

in ==>Returns True if the given object present in the specified Collection

not in ==>Retruns True if the given object not present in the specified Collection

Eg:

1) x="hello learning Python is very easy!!!"

2) print('h' in x) True
3) print('d' in x) False
4) print('d' not in x) True
5) print('Python' in x) True

Eg:

1) list1=["sunny","bunny","chinny","pinny"]
2) print("sunny" in list1) True
3) print("tunny" in list1) False
4) print("tunny" not in list1) True

 Mathematical Functions (math Module)
A Module is collection of functions ,variables and classes etc.

math is a module that contains several functions to perform mathematical operations

If we want to use any module in Python, first we have to import that module.

import math

Once we import a module then we can call any function of that module.

import math
print(math.sqrt(16))
print(math.pi)

4.0
3.141592653589793

We can create alias name by using as keyword.

import math as m

Once we create alias name , by using that we can access functions and variables of that
module

import math as m
print(m.sqrt(16))
print(m.pi)

We can import a particular member of a module explicitly as follows

from math import sqrt

from math import sqrt,pi

If we import a member explicitly then it is not required to use module name while
accessing.

from math import sqrt,pi

print(sqrt(16))
print(pi)
print(math.pi) ==>NameError: name 'math' is not defined

 Input And Output Statements
Reading dynamic input from the keyboard:
In Python 2 the following 2 functions are available to read dynamic input from the
keyboard.

1. raw_input()
2. input()

1. raw_input():

This function always reads the data from the keyboard in the form of String Format. We
have to convert that string type to our required type by using the corresponding type
casting methods.

Eg:
x=raw_input("Enter First Number:")
print(type(x)) It will always print str type only for any input type

2. input():

input() function can be used to read data directly in our required format.We are not
required to perform type casting.

x=input("Enter Value)
type(x)

10 ===> int
"durga"===>str
10.5===>float
True==>bool

***Note: But in Python 3 we have only input() method and raw_input() method is not
available.
Python3 input() function behaviour exactly same as raw_input() method of Python2. i.e
every input value is treated as str type only.

raw_input() function of Python 2 is renamed as input() function in Python3

1) >>> type(input("Enter value:"))

2) Enter value:10
3) <class 'str'>
4)
5) Enter value:10.5
6) <class 'str'>
7)
8) Enter value:True
9) <class 'str'>

Q. Write a program to read 2 numbers from the keyboard and print sum.

1) x=input("Enter First Number:")

2) y=input("Enter Second Number:")
3) i = int(x)
4) j = int(y)
5) print("The Sum:",i+j)
6)
7) Enter First Number:100
8) Enter Second Number:200
9) The Sum: 300

-----------------------------------------------------

1) x=int(input("Enter First Number:"))

2) y=int(input("Enter Second Number:"))
3) print("The Sum:",x+y)

-----------------------------------------------------------

1) print("The Sum:",int(input("Enter First Number:"))+int(input("Enter Second Number:")))

Q. Write a program to read Employee data from the keyboard and print that data.

1) eno=int(input("Enter Employee No:"))

How to read multiple values from the keyboard in a single line:

1) a,b= [int(x) for x in input("Enter 2 numbers :").split()]

2) print("Product is :", a*b)
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
5) Enter 2 numbers :10 20
6) Product is : 200

Note: split() function can take space as seperator by default .But we can pass
anything as seperator.

Q. Write a program to read 3 float numbers from the keyboard with , seperator and print
their sum.

1) a,b,c= [float(x) for x in input("Enter 3 float numbers :").split(',')]

2) print("The Sum is :", a+b+c)
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
5) Enter 3 float numbers :10.5,20.6,20.1
6) The Sum is : 51.2

eval():
eval Function take a String and evaluate the Result.

Eg: x = eval(“10+20+30”)
print(x)

Output: 60

Eg: x = eval(input(“Enter Expression”))

Enter Expression: 10+2*3/4
Output11.5

eval() can evaluate the Input to list, tuple, set, etc based the provided Input.

Eg: Write a Program to accept list from the keynboard on the display

1) l = eval(input(“Enter List”))
2) print (type(l))
3) print(l)

Command Line Arguments

 argv is not Array it is a List. It is available sys Module.
 The Argument which are passing at the time of execution are called Command Line
Arguments.

Eg: D:\Python_classes py test.py 10 20 30

Command Line Arguments

Within the Python Program this Command Line Arguments are available in argv. Which is
present in SYS Module.

test.py 10 20 30

Note: argv[0] represents Name of Program. But not first Command Line Argument.
argv[1] represent First Command Line Argument.

Program: To check type of argv from sys

import argv
print(type(argv))

D:\Python_classes\py test.py

Write a Program to display Command Line Arguments

1) from sys import argv
2) print(“The Number of Command Line Arguments:”, len(argv))
3) print(“The List of Command Line Arguments:”, argv)
4) print(“Command Line Arguments one by one:”)
5) for x in argv:
6) print(x)

7) print("The Sum:",sum)
8)
9) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 10 20 30 40
10) The Sum: 100

Note1: usually space is seperator between command line arguments. If our command line
argument itself contains space then we should enclose within double quotes(but not
single quotes)

Eg:

1) from sys import argv

2) print(argv[1])
3)
4) D:\Python_classes>py test.py Sunny Leone
5) Sunny
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py 'Sunny Leone'
8) 'Sunny
9)
10) D:\Python_classes>py test.py "Sunny Leone"
11) Sunny Leone

Note2: Within the Python program command line arguments are available in the String
form. Based on our requirement,we can convert into corresponding type by using type
casting methods.

Eg:

1) from sys import argv

2) print(argv[1]+argv[2])
3) print(int(argv[1])+int(argv[2]))

output statements:
We can use print() function to display output.

Form-1: print() without any argument

Just it prints new line character

Form-2:
1) print(String):
2) print("Hello World")
3) We can use escape characters also
4) print("Hello \n World")
5) print("Hello\tWorld")
6) We can use repetetion operator (*) in the string
7) print(10*"Hello")
8) print("Hello"*10)
9) We can use + operator also
10) print("Hello"+"World")

Note:
If both arguments are String type then + operator acts as concatenation operator.

If one argument is string type and second is any other type like int then we will get Error

If both arguments are number type then + operator acts as arithmetic addition operator.

Note:

1) print("Hello"+"World")
2) print("Hello","World")
3)
4) HelloWorld
5) Hello World

Form-3: print() with variable number of arguments:

1. a,b,c=10,20,30
2. print("The Values are :",a,b,c)
3.
4. OutputThe Values are : 10 20 30

By default output values are seperated by space.If we want we can specify seperator by
using "sep" attribute

1. a,b,c=10,20,30
2. print(a,b,c,sep=',')
3. print(a,b,c,sep=':')
4.
5. D:\Python_classes>py test.py

II. Iterative Statements
If we want to execute a group of statements multiple times then we should go for
Iterative statements.

Python supports 2 types of iterative statements.

1. for loop
2. while loop

1) for loop:
If we want to execute some action for every element present in some sequence(it may be
string or collection)then we should go for for loop.

Syntax:

for x in sequence :
body

where sequence can be string or any collection.

Body will be executed for every element present in the sequence.

Eg 1: To print characters present in the given string

1) s="Sunny Leone"
2) for x in s :
3) print(x)
4)
5) Output
6) S
7) u
8) n
9) n
10) y
11)
12) L
13) e
14) o
15) n
16) e

Eg 2: To print characters present in string index wise:

1) s=input("Enter some String: ")

2) i=0
3) for x in s :
4) print("The character present at ",i,"index is :",x)
5) i=i+1
6)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) Enter some String: Sunny Leone
10) The character present at 0 index is : S
11) The character present at 1 index is : u
12) The character present at 2 index is : n
13) The character present at 3 index is : n
14) The character present at 4 index is : y
15) The character present at 5 index is :
16) The character present at 6 index is : L
17) The character present at 7 index is : e
18) The character present at 8 index is : o
19) The character present at 9 index is : n
20) The character present at 10 index is : e

Eg 3: To print Hello 10 times

1) for x in range(10) :
2) print("Hello")

Eg 4: To display numbers from 0 to 10

1) for x in range(11) :
2) print(x)

Eg 5: To display odd numbers from 0 to 20

1) for x in range(21) :
2) if (x%2!=0):
3) print(x)

Eg 6: To display numbers from 10 to 1 in descending order

1) for x in range(10,0,-1) :
2) print(x)

Eg 7: To print sum of numbers presenst inside list

1) list=eval(input("Enter List:"))
2) sum=0;
3) for x in list:
4) sum=sum+x;
5) print("The Sum=",sum)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) Enter List:[10,20,30,40]
9) The Sum= 100
10)
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) Enter List:[45,67]
13) The Sum= 112

2) while loop:
If we want to execute a group of statements iteratively until some condition false,then we
should go for while loop.

Syntax:

while condition :
body

Eg: To print numbers from 1 to 10 by using while loop

1) x=1
2) while x <=10:
3) print(x)
4) x=x+1

Eg: To display the sum of first n numbers

1) n=int(input("Enter number:"))
2) sum=0
3) i=1
4) while i<=n:
5) sum=sum+i
6) i=i+1
7) print("The sum of first",n,"numbers is :",sum)

Eg: write a program to prompt user to enter some name until entering Durga

1) name=""
2) while name!="durga":
3) name=input("Enter Name:")
4) print("Thanks for confirmation")

Infinite Loops:
1) i=0;
2) while True :
3) i=i+1;
4) print("Hello",i)

Nested Loops:
Sometimes we can take a loop inside another loop,which are also known as nested loops.

Eg:

1) for i in range(4):
2) for j in range(4):
3) print("i=",i," j=",j)
4)
5) Output
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py

12) i= 1 j= 1
13) i= 1 j= 2
14) i= 1 j= 3
15) i= 2 j= 0
16) i= 2 j= 1
17) i= 2 j= 2
18) i= 2 j= 3

III. Transfer Statements
1) break:
We can use break statement inside loops to break loop execution based on some
condition.

Eg:

1) for i in range(10):
2) if i==7:
3) print("processing is enough..plz break")
4) break
5) print(i)

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,600,60,70]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>500:
4) print("To place this order insurence must be required")
5) break
6) print(item)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) 10
10) 20
11) To place this order insurence must be required

2) continue:
We can use continue statement to skip current iteration and continue next iteration.

Eg 1: To print odd numbers in the range 0 to 9

1) for i in range(10):
2) if i%2==0:
3) continue
4) print(i)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) 1
8) 3
9) 5
10) 7
11) 9

Eg 2:

1) cart=[10,20,500,700,50,60]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this item :",item)
5) continue
6) print(item)
7)
8) Output
9) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
10) 10
11) 20
12) We cannot process this item : 500
13) We cannot process this item : 700
14) 50
15) 60

Eg 3:

1) numbers=[10,20,0,5,0,30]
2) for n in numbers:
3) if n==0:
4) print("Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping")
5) continue
6) print("100/{} = {}".format(n,100/n))

14) Hey how we can divide with zero..just skipping
15) 100/30 = 3.3333333333333335

loops with else block:

Inside loop execution,if break statement not executed ,then only else part will be
executed.

else means loop without break

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,30,40,50]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this order")
5) break
6) print(item)
7) else:
8) print("Congrats ...all items processed successfully")
9)
10) Output
11) 10
12) 20
13) 30
14) 40
15) 50
16) Congrats ...all items processed successfully

Eg:

1) cart=[10,20,600,30,40,50]
2) for item in cart:
3) if item>=500:
4) print("We cannot process this order")
5) break
6) print(item)
7) else:
8) print("Congrats ...all items processed successfully")

Q. What is the difference between for loop and while loop in Python?

We can use loops to repeat code execution

Repeat code for every item in sequence ==>for loop
Repeat code as long as condition is true ==>while loop

Q. How to exit from the loop?

by using break statement

Q. How to skip some iterations inside loop?

by using continue statement.

Q. When else part will be executed wrt loops?

If loop executed without break

3) pass statement:
pass is a keyword in Python.

In our programming syntactically if block is required which won't do anything then we can
define that empty block with pass keyword.

pass
|- It is an empty statement
|- It is null statement
|- It won't do anything

Eg:

if True:
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

if True: pass
==>valid

def m1():
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

def m1(): pass

use case of pass:

Sometimes in the parent class we have to declare a function with empty body and child
class responsible to provide proper implementation. Such type of empty body we can
define by using pass keyword. (It is something like abstract method in java)

Eg:
def m1(): pass

Eg:

1) for i in range(100):
2) if i%9==0:
3) print(i)
4) else:pass

17) 90
18) 99

del statement:

del is a keyword in Python.

After using a variable, it is highly recommended to delete that variable if it is no longer

required,so that the corresponding object is eligible for Garbage Collection.
We can delete variable by using del keyword.

Eg:

1) x=10
2) print(x)
3) del x

68  040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 | www.durgasoft.com
After deleting a variable we cannot access that variable otherwise we will get NameError.

Eg:

1) x=10
2) del x
3) print(x)

NameError: name 'x' is not defined.

Note:
We can delete variables which are pointing to immutable objects.But we cannot delete
the elements present inside immutable object.

Eg:

1) s="durga"
2) print(s)
3) del s==>valid
4) del s[0] ==>TypeError: 'str' object doesn't support item deletion

Difference between del and None:

In the case del, the variable will be removed and we cannot access that variable(unbind
operation)

1) s="durga"
2) del s
3) print(s) ==>NameError: name 's' is not defined.

But in the case of None assignment the variable won't be removed but the corresponding
object is eligible for Garbage Collection(re bind operation). Hence after assigning with
None value,we can access that variable.

1) s="durga"
2) s=None
3) print(s) # None

 List Data Structure
If we want to represent a group of individual objects as a single entity where insertion
order preserved and duplicates are allowed, then we should go for List.

insertion order preserved.

duplicate objects are allowed
heterogeneous objects are allowed.
List is dynamic because based on our requirement we can increase the size and decrease
the size.
In List the elements will be placed within square brackets and with comma seperator.

We can differentiate duplicate elements by using index and we can preserve insertion
order by using index. Hence index will play very important role.
Python supports both positive and negative indexes. +ve index means from left to right
where as negative index means right to left

[10,"A","B",20, 30, 10]

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
10 A B 20 30 10
0 1 2 3 4 5

List objects are mutable.i.e we can change the content.

Creation of List Objects:

1. We can create empty list object as follows...

1) list=[]
2) print(list)
3) print(type(list))
4)
5) []
6) <class 'list'>

2. If we know elements already then we can create list as follows

list=[10,20,30,40]

1) list=eval(input("Enter List:"))
2) print(list)
3) print(type(list))
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) Enter List:[10,20,30,40]
7) [10, 20, 30, 40]
8) <class 'list'>

4. With list() function:

1) l=list(range(0,10,2))
2) print(l)
3) print(type(l))
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [0, 2, 4, 6, 8]
7) <class 'list'>

Eg:

1) s="durga"
2) l=list(s)
3) print(l)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) ['d', 'u', 'r', 'g', 'a']

5. with split() function:

1) s="Learning Python is very very easy !!!"

2) l=s.split()
3) print(l)
4) print(type(l))
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) ['Learning', 'Python', 'is', 'very', 'very', 'easy', '!!!']
8) <class 'list'>

Note:

Sometimes we can take list inside another list,such type of lists are called nested lists.

Accessing elements of List:
We can access elements of the list either by using index or by using slice operator(:)

1. By using index:

List follows zero based index. ie index of first element is zero.

List supports both +ve and -ve indexes.
+ve index meant for Left to Right
-ve index meant for Right to Left

list=[10,20,30,40]

-4 -3 -2 -1
list 10 20 30 40
0 1 2 3

print(list[0]) ==>10
print(list[-1]) ==>40
print(list[10]) ==>IndexError: list index out of range

2. By using slice operator:

Syntax:

list2= list1[start:stop:step]

start ==>it indicates the index where slice has to start

default value is 0

stop ===>It indicates the index where slice has to end

default value is max allowed index of list ie length of the list

step ==>increment value

default value is 1

Eg:

1) n=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
2) print(n[2:7:2])

List vs mutability:
Once we creates a List object,we can modify its content. Hence List objects are mutable.

Eg:

1) n=[10,20,30,40]
2) print(n)
3) n[1]=777
4) print(n)

Traversing the elements of List:

The sequential access of each element in the list is called traversal.

1. By using while loop:

1) n=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
2) i=0
3) while i<len(n):
4) print(n[i])

Important functions of List:
I. To get information about list:

1. len():
returns the number of elements present in the list

Eg: n=[10,20,30,40]
print(len(n))==>4

2. count():
It returns the number of occurrences of specified item in the list

1) n=[1,2,2,2,2,3,3]
2) print(n.count(1))
3) print(n.count(2))
4) print(n.count(3))
5) print(n.count(4))
6)
7) Output
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) 1
10) 4
11) 2
12) 0

3. index() function:

returns the index of first occurrence of the specified item.

Eg:

1) n=[1,2,2,2,2,3,3]
2) print(n.index(1)) ==>0
3) print(n.index(2)) ==>1
4) print(n.index(3)) ==>5
5) print(n.index(4)) ==>ValueError: 4 is not in list

Note: If the specified element not present in the list then we will get ValueError.Hence
before index() method we have to check whether item present in the list or not by using in
operator.

print( 4 in n)==>False

II. Manipulating elements of List:

1. append() function:

We can use append() function to add item at the end of the list.

Eg:

1) list=[]
2) list.append("A")
3) list.append("B")
4) list.append("C")
5) print(list)
6)
7) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8) ['A', 'B', 'C']

Eg: To add all elements to list upto 100 which are divisible by 10

1) list=[]
2) for i in range(101):
3) if i%10==0:
4) list.append(i)
5) print(list)
6)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) [0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100]

2. insert() function:

To insert item at specified index position

1) n=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) n.insert(1,888)
3) print(n)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [1, 888, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Eg:

1) n=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) n.insert(10,777)
3) n.insert(-10,999)
4) print(n)
5)

 6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) [999, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 777]

Note: If the specified index is greater than max index then element will be inserted at last
position. If the specified index is smaller than min index then element will be inserted at
first position.

Differences between append() and insert()

append() insert()
In List when we add any element it will In List we can insert any element in
come in last i.e. it will be last element. particular index number

3. extend() function:

To add all items of one list to another list

l1.extend(l2)
all items present in l2 will be added to l1

Eg:

1) order1=["Chicken","Mutton","Fish"]
2) order2=["RC","KF","FO"]
3) order1.extend(order2)
4) print(order1)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) ['Chicken', 'Mutton', 'Fish', 'RC', 'KF', 'FO']

Eg:

1) order=["Chicken","Mutton","Fish"]
2) order.extend("Mushroom")
3) print(order)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) ['Chicken', 'Mutton', 'Fish', 'M', 'u', 's', 'h', 'r', 'o', 'o', 'm']

4. remove() function:

We can use this function to remove specified item from the list.If the item present
multiple times then only first occurrence will be removed.

77  040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 | www.durgasoft.com
 1) n=[10,20,10,30]
2) n.remove(10)
3) print(n)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [20, 10, 30]

If the specified item not present in list then we will get ValueError

1) n=[10,20,10,30]
2) n.remove(40)
3) print(n)
4)
5) ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list

Note: Hence before using remove() method first we have to check specified element
present in the list or not by using in operator.

5. pop() function:

It removes and returns the last element of the list.

This is only function which manipulates list and returns some element.

Eg:

1) n=[10,20,30,40]
2) print(n.pop())
3) print(n.pop())
4) print(n)
5)
6) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7) 40
8) 30
9) [10, 20]

If the list is empty then pop() function raises IndexError

Eg:

1) n=[]
2) print(n.pop()) ==> IndexError: pop from empty list

Note:

1. pop() is the only function which manipulates the list and returns some value
2. In general we can use append() and pop() functions to implement stack datastructure
by using list,which follows LIFO(Last In First Out) order.

In general we can use pop() function to remove last element of the list. But we can use to
remove elements based on index.

n.pop(index)===>To remove and return element present at specified index.

n.pop()==>To remove and return last element of the list

1) n=[10,20,30,40,50,60]
2) print(n.pop()) #60
3) print(n.pop(1)) #20
4) print(n.pop(10)) ==>IndexError: pop index out of range

Differences between remove() and pop()

remove() pop()
1) We can use to remove special element 1) We can use to remove last element
from the List. from the List.
2) It can’t return any value. 2) It returned removed element.
3) If special element not available then we 3) If List is empty then we get Error.
get VALUE ERROR.

Note:

List objects are dynamic. i.e based on our requirement we can increase and decrease the
size.

append(),insert() ,extend() ===>for increasing the size/growable nature

remove(), pop() ======>for decreasing the size /shrinking nature

III. Ordering elements of List:

1. reverse():

We can use to reverse() order of elements of list.

1) n=[10,20,30,40]
2) n.reverse()
3) print(n)
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) [40, 30, 20, 10]

2. sort() function:

In list by default insertion order is preserved. If want to sort the elements of list according
to default natural sorting order then we should go for sort() method.

For numbers ==>default natural sorting order is Ascending Order

For Strings ==> default natural sorting order is Alphabetical Order

1) n=[20,5,15,10,0]
2) n.sort()
3) print(n) #[0,5,10,15,20]
4)
5) s=["Dog","Banana","Cat","Apple"]
6) s.sort()
7) print(s) #['Apple','Banana','Cat','Dog']

Note: To use sort() function, compulsory list should contain only homogeneous elements.
otherwise we will get TypeError

Eg:

1) n=[20,10,"A","B"]
2) n.sort()
3) print(n)
4)
5) TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

Note: In Python 2 if List contains both numbers and Strings then sort() function first sort
numbers followed by strings

1) n=[20,"B",10,"A"]
2) n.sort()

 3) print(n)# [10,20,'A','B']

But in Python 3 it is invalid.

To sort in reverse of default natural sorting order:

We can sort according to reverse of default natural sorting order by using reverse=True
argument.

Eg:

1. n=[40,10,30,20]
2. n.sort()
3. print(n) ==>[10,20,30,40]
4. n.sort(reverse=True)
5. print(n) ===>[40,30,20,10]
6. n.sort(reverse=False)
7. print(n) ==>[10,20,30,40]

Aliasing and Cloning of List objects:

The process of giving another reference variable to the existing list is called aliasing.

Eg:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x 10 20 30 40
3) print(id(x)) x
4) print(id(y)) y

The problem in this approach is by using one reference variable if we are changing
content,then those changes will be reflected to the other reference variable.

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x 10 20 30 40
3) y[1]=777 x 777
4) print(x) ==>[10,777,30,40] y

To overcome this problem we should go for cloning.

The process of creating exactly duplicate independent object is called cloning.

We can implement cloning by using slice operator or by using copy() function

1. By using slice operator:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x[:]
3) y[1]=777
4) print(x) ==>[10,20,30,40]
5) print(y) ==>[10,777,30,40]

10 20 30 40
x

10 20 30 40
777
y

2. By using copy() function:

1) x=[10,20,30,40]
2) y=x.copy()
3) y[1]=777
4) print(x) ==>[10,20,30,40]
5) print(y) ==>[10,777,30,40]

10 20 30 40
x

10 20 30 40
777
y

Q. Difference between = operator and copy() function

= operator meant for aliasing

copy() function meant for cloning

Using Mathematical operators for List Objects:
We can use + and * operators for List objects.

1. Concatenation operator(+):

We can use + to concatenate 2 lists into a single list

1) a=[10,20,30]
2) b=[40,50,60]
3) c=a+b
4) print(c) ==>[10,20,30,40,50,60]

Note: To use + operator compulsory both arguments should be list objects,otherwise we

will get TypeError.

Eg:

c=a+40 ==>TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "int") to list

c=a+[40] ==>valid

2. Repetition Operator(*):

We can use repetition operator * to repeat elements of list specified number of times

Eg:

1) x=[10,20,30]
2) y=x*3
3) print(y)==>[10,20,30,10,20,30,10,20,30]

Comparing List objects

We can use comparison operators for List objects.

Eg:

1. x=["Dog","Cat","Rat"]
2. y=["Dog","Cat","Rat"]
3. z=["DOG","CAT","RAT"]
4. print(x==y) True
5. print(x==z) False
6. print(x != z) True

Note:

Whenever we are using comparison operators(==,!=) for List objects then the following
should be considered
1. The number of elements
2. The order of elements
3. The content of elements (case sensitive)

Note: When ever we are using relatational operators(<,<=,>,>=) between List objects,only
first element comparison will be performed.

Eg:

1. x=[50,20,30]
2. y=[40,50,60,100,200]
3. print(x>y) True
4. print(x>=y) True
5. print(x<y) False
6. print(x<=y) False

Eg:

1. x=["Dog","Cat","Rat"]
2. y=["Rat","Cat","Dog"]
3. print(x>y) False
4. print(x>=y) False
5. print(x<y) True
6. print(x<=y) True

Membership operators:
We can check whether element is a member of the list or not by using memebership
operators.

in operator
not in operator

Eg:

1. n=[10,20,30,40]
2. print (10 in n)

9. False
10. False

clear() function:

We can use clear() function to remove all elements of List.

3. n.clear()
4. print(n)
5.

7. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8. [10, 20, 30, 40]
9. []

Nested Lists:
Sometimes we can take one list inside another list. Such type of lists are called nested
lists.

Eg:

1. n=[10,20,[30,40]]
2. print(n)
3. print(n[0])
4. print(n[2])
5. print(n[2][0])
6. print(n[2][1])

14. 40

Note: We can access nested list elements by using index just like accessing multi
dimensional array elements.

List Comprehensions:
It is very easy and compact way of creating list objects from any iterable objects(like
list,tuple,dictionary,range etc) based on some condition.

Syntax:
list=[expression for item in list if condition]

Eg:

1) s=[ x*x for x in range(1,11)]

2) print(s)
3) v=[2**x for x in range(1,6)]

Tuple Data Structure
1. Tuple is exactly same as List except that it is immutable. i.e once we creates Tuple
object,we cannot perform any changes in that object.
Hence Tuple is Read Only version of List.
2. If our data is fixed and never changes then we should go for Tuple.
3. Insertion Order is preserved
4. Duplicates are allowed
5. Heterogeneous objects are allowed.
6. We can preserve insertion order and we can differentiate duplicate objects by using
index. Hence index will play very important role in Tuple also.
Tuple support both +ve and -ve index. +ve index means forward direction(from left to
right) and -ve index means backward direction(from right to left)
7. We can represent Tuple elements within Parenthesis and with comma seperator.
Parenethesis are optional but recommended to use.

Eg:

1. t=10,20,30,40
2. print(t)
3. print(type(t))
4.
5. Output
6. (10, 20, 30, 40)
7. <class 'tuple'>
8.
9. t=()
10. print(type(t)) # tuple

Note: We have to take special care about single valued tuple.compulsary the value
should ends with comma,otherwise it is not treated as tuple.
Eg:

1. t=(10)
2. print(t)
3. print(type(t))
4.
5. Output
6. 10
7. <class 'int'>

Eg:

1. t=(10,)
2. print(t)
3. print(type(t))
4.
5. Output
6. (10,)
7. <class 'tuple'>

Q. Which of the following are valid tuples?

1. t=()
2. t=10,20,30,40
3. t=10
4. t=10,
5. t=(10)
6. t=(10,)
7.t=(10,20,30,40)

Tuple creation:

1. t=()
creation of empty tuple

2. t=(10,)
t=10,
creation of single valued tuple ,parenthesis are optional,should ends with comma

3. t=10,20,30
t=(10,20,30)
creation of multi values tuples & parenthesis are optional

4. By using tuple() function:

1. list=[10,20,30]
2. t=tuple(list)
3. print(t)
4.
5. t=tuple(range(10,20,2))
6. print(t)

Accessing elements of tuple:
We can access either by index or by slice operator

1. By using index:

1. t=(10,20,30,40,50,60)
2. print(t[0]) #10
3. print(t[-1]) #60
4. print(t[100]) IndexError: tuple index out of range

2. By using slice operator:

1. t=(10,20,30,40,50,60)
2. print(t[2:5])
3. print(t[2:100])
4. print(t[::2])
5.
6. Output
7. (30, 40, 50)
8. (30, 40, 50, 60)
9. (10, 30, 50)

Tuple vs immutability:
Once we creates tuple,we cannot change its content.
Hence tuple objects are immutable.

Eg:
t=(10,20,30,40)
t[1]=70 TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment

Mathematical operators for tuple:

We can apply + and * operators for tuple

1. Concatenation Operator(+):

1. t1=(10,20,30)
2. t2=(40,50,60)
3. t3=t1+t2
4. print(t3) # (10,20,30,40,50,60)

2. Multiplication operator or repetition operator(*)

1. t1=(10,20,30)
2. t2=t1*3
3. print(t2) #(10,20,30,10,20,30,10,20,30)

Important functions of Tuple:

1. len()
To return number of elements present in the tuple

Eg:
t=(10,20,30,40)
print(len(t)) #4

2. count()
To return number of occurrences of given element in the tuple

Eg:
t=(10,20,10,10,20)
print(t.count(10)) #3

3. index()
returns index of first occurrence of the given element.
If the specified element is not available then we will get ValueError.

Eg:
t=(10,20,10,10,20)
print(t.index(10)) #0
print(t.index(30)) ValueError: tuple.index(x): x not in tuple

4. sorted()
To sort elements based on default natural sorting order

1. t=(40,10,30,20)
2. t1=sorted(t)
3. print(t1)
4. print(t)
5.
6. Output
7. [10, 20, 30, 40]
8. (40, 10, 30, 20)

We can sort according to reverse of default natural sorting order as follows

92  040 – 64 51 27 86, 80 96 96 96 96, 92 46 21 21 43 | www.durgasoft.com
t1=sorted(t,reverse=True)
print(t1) [40, 30, 20, 10]

5. min() and max() functions:

These functions return min and max values according to default natural sorting order.

Eg:

1. t=(40,10,30,20)
2. print(min(t)) #10
3. print(max(t)) #40

6. cmp():

It compares the elements of both tuples.

If both tuples are equal then returns 0
If the first tuple is less than second tuple then it returns -1
If the first tuple is greater than second tuple then it returns +1

Eg:

1. t1=(10,20,30)
2. t2=(40,50,60)
3. t3=(10,20,30)
4. print(cmp(t1,t2)) # -1
5. print(cmp(t1,t3)) # 0
6. print(cmp(t2,t3)) # +1

Note: cmp() function is available only in Python2 but not in Python 3

Tuple Packing and Unpacking:

We can create a tuple by packing a group of variables.

Eg:

a=10
b=20
c=30
d=40
t=a,b,c,d
print(t) #(10, 20, 30, 40)

Here a,b,c,d are packed into a tuple t. This is nothing but tuple packing.

Tuple unpacking is the reverse process of tuple packing
We can unpack a tuple and assign its values to different variables

Eg:

1. t=(10,20,30,40)
2. a,b,c,d=t
3. print("a=",a,"b=",b,"c=",c,"d=",d)
4.
5. Output
6. a= 10 b= 20 c= 30 d= 40

Note: At the time of tuple unpacking the number of variables and number of values
should be same. ,otherwise we will get ValueError.

Eg:
t=(10,20,30,40)
a,b,c=t #ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3)

Tuple Comprehension:
Tuple Comprehension is not supported by Python.

t= ( x**2 for x in range(1,6))

Here we are not getting tuple object and we are getting generator object.

1. t= ( x**2 for x in range(1,6))

2. print(type(t))
3. for x in t:
4. print(x)
5.
6. Output
7. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8. <class 'generator'>

Differences between List and Tuple:

List and Tuple are exactly same except small difference: List objects are mutable where as
Tuple objects are immutable.

In both cases insertion order is preserved, duplicate objects are allowed, heterogenous
objects are allowed, index and slicing are supported.

List Tuple
1) List is a Group of Comma separeated 1) Tuple is a Group of Comma separeated
Values within Square Brackets and Square Values within Parenthesis and Parenthesis
Brackets are mandatory. are optional.
Eg: i = [10, 20, 30, 40] Eg: t = (10, 20, 30, 40)

 Set Data Structure
 If we want to represent a group of unique values as a single entity then we should go
for set.
 Duplicates are not allowed.
 Insertion order is not preserved.But we can sort the elements.
 Indexing and slicing not allowed for the set.
 Heterogeneous elements are allowed.
 Set objects are mutable i.e once we creates set object we can perform any changes in
that object based on our requirement.
 We can represent set elements within curly braces and with comma seperation
 We can apply mathematical operations like union,intersection,difference etc on set
objects.

Creation of Set objects:

Eg:

1. s={10,20,30,40}
2. print(s)
3. print(type(s))
4.
5. Output
6. {40, 10, 20, 30}
7. <class 'set'>

We can create set objects by using set() function

s=set(any sequence)

Eg 1:

1. l = [10,20,30,40,10,20,10]
2. s=set(l)
3. print(s) # {40, 10, 20, 30}

Eg 2:

1. s=set(range(5))
2. print(s) #{0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Note: While creating empty set we have to take special care.

Compulsory we should use set() function.

Eg:

1. s=set()
2. print(s)
3. print(type(s))
4.
5. Output
6. set()
7. <class 'set'>

Important functions of set:

1. add(x):

Adds item x to the set

Eg:

1. s={10,20,30}
2. s.add(40);
3. print(s) #{40, 10, 20, 30}

2. update(x,y,z):

To add multiple items to the set.

Arguments are not individual elements and these are Iterable objects like List,range etc.
All elements present in the given Iterable objects will be added to the set.

Eg:

1. s={10,20,30}
2. l=[40,50,60,10]
3. s.update(l,range(5))
4. print(s)

6. Output
7. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 40, 10, 50, 20, 60, 30}

Q. What is the difference between add() and update() functions in set?

We can use add() to add individual item to the Set,where as we can use update() function
to add multiple items to Set.
add() function can take only one argument where as update() function can take any
number of arguments but all arguments should be iterable objects.

Q. Which of the following are valid for set s?

1. s.add(10)
2. s.add(10,20,30) TypeError: add() takes exactly one argument (3 given)
3. s.update(10) TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
4. s.update(range(1,10,2),range(0,10,2))

3. copy():

Returns copy of the set.

It is cloned object.

s={10,20,30}
s1=s.copy()
print(s1)

4. pop():

It removes and returns some random element from the set.

Eg:

1. s={40,10,30,20}
2. print(s)
3. print(s.pop())
4. print(s)

Dictionary Data Structure
We can use List,Tuple and Set to represent a group of individual objects as a single entity.

If we want to represent a group of objects as key-value pairs then we should go for

Dictionary.

Eg:
rollno----name
phone number--address
ipaddress---domain name

Duplicate keys are not allowed but values can be duplicated.

Hetrogeneous objects are allowed for both key and values.
insertion order is not preserved
Dictionaries are mutable
Dictionaries are dynamic
indexing and slicing concepts are not applicable

Note: In C++ and Java Dictionaries are known as "Map" where as in Perl and Ruby it is
known as "Hash"

How to create Dictionary?

d={} or d=dict()
we are creating empty dictionary. We can add entries as follows

d[100]="durga"
d[200]="ravi"
d[300]="shiva"
print(d) #{100: 'durga', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}

If we know data in advance then we can create dictionary as follows

d={100:'durga' ,200:'ravi', 300:'shiva'}

d={key:value, key:value}

How to access data from the dictionary?
We can access data by using keys.

d={100:'durga' ,200:'ravi', 300:'shiva'}

print(d[100]) #durga
print(d[300]) #shiva

If the specified key is not available then we will get KeyError

print(d[400]) # KeyError: 400

We can prevent this by checking whether key is already available or not by using
has_key() function or by using in operator.

d.has_key(400) ==> returns 1 if key is available otherwise returns 0

But has_key() function is available only in Python 2 but not in Python 3. Hence
compulsory we have to use in operator.

if 400 in d:
print(d[400])

How to update dictionaries?

d[key]=value

If the key is not available then a new entry will be added to the dictionary with the
specified key-value pair

If the key is already available then old value will be replaced with new value.

Eg:

1. d={100:"durga",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. d[400]="pavan"
4. print(d)
5. d[100]="sunny"
6. print(d)
7.
8. Output
9. {100: 'durga', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
10. {100: 'durga', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva', 400: 'pavan'}
11. {100: 'sunny', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva', 400: 'pavan'}

How to delete elements from dictionary?

del d[key]

It deletes entry associated with the specified key.

If the key is not available then we will get KeyError

Eg:

1. d={100:"durga",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. del d[100]
4. print(d)
5. del d[400]

10. KeyError: 400

d.clear()

To remove all entries from the dictionary

Eg:

1. d={100:"durga",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. d.clear()
4. print(d)
5.
6. Output
7. {100: 'durga', 200: 'ravi', 300: 'shiva'}
8. {}

del d

To delete total dictionary.Now we cannot access d

Eg:

1. d={100:"durga",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}
2. print(d)
3. del d
4. print(d)
5.
6. Output

8. NameError: name 'd' is not defined

Important functions of dictionary:

1. dict():

To create a dictionary

d=dict() ===>It creates empty dictionary

d=dict({100:"durga",200:"ravi"}) ==>It creates dictionary with specified elements
d=dict([(100,"durga"),(200,"shiva"),(300,"ravi")])==>It creates dictionary with the given
list of tuple elements

4. get():

To get the value associated with the key

d.get(key)
If the key is available then returns the corresponding value otherwise returns None.It
wont raise any error.

d.get(key,defaultvalue)
If the key is available then returns the corresponding value otherwise returns default
value.

Eg:

print(d.get(400,"Guest")) ==>Guest

3. pop():

d.pop(key)
It removes the entry associated with the specified key and returns the corresponding
value
If the specified key is not available then we will get KeyError

Eg:

1) d={100:"durga",200:"ravi",300:"shiva"}

FUNCTIONS
If a group of statements is repeatedly required then it is not recommended to write these
statements everytime seperately.We have to define these statements as a single unit and
we can call that unit any number of times based on our requirement without rewriting.
This unit is nothing but function.

The main advantage of functions is code Reusability.

Note: In other languages functions are known as methods,procedures,subroutines etc

Python supports 2 types of functions

1. Built in Functions
2. User Defined Functions

1. Built in Functions:
The functions which are coming along with Python software automatically,are called built
in functions or pre defined functions

Eg:
id()
type()
input()
eval()
etc..

2. User Defined Functions:

The functions which are developed by programmer explicitly according to business
requirements ,are called user defined functions.

Syntax to create user defined functions:

def function_name(parameters) :
""" doc string"""
----
-----
return value

Note: While creating functions we can use 2 keywords
1. def (mandatory)
2. return (optional)

Eg 1: Write a function to print Hello

test.py:
1) def wish():
2) print("Hello Good Morning")
3) wish()
4) wish()
5) wish()

Parameters
Parameters are inputs to the function. If a function contains parameters,then at the time
of calling,compulsory we should provide values otherwise,otherwise we will get error.

Eg: Write a function to take name of the student as input and print wish message by
name.

1. def wish(name):
2. print("Hello",name," Good Morning")
3. wish("Durga")
4. wish("Ravi")
5.
6.
7. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
8. Hello Durga Good Morning
9. Hello Ravi Good Morning

Eg: Write a function to take number as input and print its square value

1. def squareIt(number):
2. print("The Square of",number,"is", number*number)
3. squareIt(4)
4. squareIt(5)
5.
6. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
7. The Square of 4 is 16
8. The Square of 5 is 25

Return Statement:
Function can take input values as parameters and executes business logic, and returns
output to the caller with return statement.

Q. Write a function to accept 2 numbers as input and return sum.

1. def add(x,y):
2. return x+y
3. result=add(10,20)
4. print("The sum is",result)
5. print("The sum is",add(100,200))
6.
7.
8. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9. The sum is 30
10. The sum is 300

If we are not writing return statement then default return value is None

Eg:

1. def f1():
2. print("Hello")
3. f1()
4. print(f1())
5.
6. Output
7. Hello
8. Hello
9. None

Q. Write a function to check whether the given number is even or odd?

1. def even_odd(num):
2. if num%2==0:
3. print(num,"is Even Number")
4. else:
5. print(num,"is Odd Number")
6. even_odd(10)
7. even_odd(15)
8.
9. Output
10. D:\Python_classes>py test.py
11. 10 is Even Number
12. 15 is Odd Number

1) def fact(num):
2) result=1
3) while num>=1:
4) result=result*num
5) num=num-1
6) return result
7) for i in range(1,5):

10) Output
11) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
12) The Factorial of 1 is : 1
13) The Factorial of 2 is : 2
14) The Factorial of 3 is : 6
15) The Factorial of 4 is : 24

Returning multiple values from a function:

In other languages like C,C++ and Java, function can return atmost one value. But in
Python, a function can return any number of values.

Eg 1:

1) def sum_sub(a,b):
2) sum=a+b
3) sub=a-b
4) return sum,sub
5) x,y=sum_sub(100,50)
6) print("The Sum is :",x)
7) print("The Subtraction is :",y)
8)
9) Output
10) The Sum is : 150
11) The Subtraction is : 50

Eg 2:

1) def calc(a,b):
2) sum=a+b
3) sub=a-b
4) mul=a*b
5) div=a/b
6) return sum,sub,mul,div
7) t=calc(100,50)
8) print("The Results are")

Types of arguments
def f1(a,b):
------
------
------
f1(10,20)

a,b are formal arguments where as 10,20 are actual arguments

There are 4 types are actual arguments are allowed in Python.

1. positional arguments
2. keyword arguments
3. default arguments
4. Variable length arguments

1. positional arguments:

These are the arguments passed to function in correct positional order.

def sub(a,b):
print(a-b)

sub(100,200)
sub(200,100)

The number of arguments and position of arguments must be matched. If we change the
order then result may be changed.

If we change the number of arguments then we will get error.

2. keyword arguments:

We can pass argument values by keyword i.e by parameter name.

Eg:

1. def wish(name,msg):
2. print("Hello",name,msg)
3. wish(name="Durga",msg="Good Morning")
4. wish(msg="Good Morning",name="Durga")
5.
6. Output
7. Hello Durga Good Morning
8. Hello Durga Good Morning

Here the order of arguments is not important but number of arguments must be matched.

Note:

We can use both positional and keyword arguments simultaneously. But first we have to
take positional arguments and then keyword arguments,otherwise we will get
syntaxerror.

def wish(name,msg):
print("Hello",name,msg)
wish("Durga","GoodMorning") ==>valid
wish("Durga",msg="GoodMorning") ==>valid
wish(name="Durga","GoodMorning") ==>invalid
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument

3. Default Arguments:

Sometimes we can provide default values for our positional arguments.

Eg:

1) def wish(name="Guest"):
2) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")
3)
4) wish("Durga")
5) wish()
6)
7) Output
8) Hello Durga Good Morning
9) Hello Guest Good Morning

If we are not passing any name then only default value will be considered.

***Note:

After default arguments we should not take non default arguments

def wish(name="Guest",msg="Good Morning"): ===>Valid

def wish(name,msg="Good Morning"): ===>Valid
def wish(name="Guest",msg): ==>Invalid

SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

4. Variable length arguments:

Sometimes we can pass variable number of arguments to our function,such type of

arguments are called variable length arguments.

We can declare a variable length argument with * symbol as follows

def f1(*n):

We can call this function by passing any number of arguments including zero number.
Internally all these values represented in the form of tuple.

Eg:

1. def sum(*n):
2. total=0
3. for n1 in n:
4. total=total+n1
5. print("The Sum=",total)
6.
7. sum()
8. sum(10)
9. sum(10,20)
10. sum(10,20,30,40)
11.
12. Output
13. The Sum= 0
14. The Sum= 10
15. The Sum= 30
16. The Sum= 100

Note:
We can mix variable length arguments with positional arguments.

17. A
18. 30
19. B

Note: After variable length argument,if we are taking any other arguments then we
should provide values as keyword arguments.

Eg:

1. def f1(*s,n1):
2. for s1 in s:
3. print(s1)
4. print(n1)
5.
6. f1("A","B",n1=10)
7. Output
8. A
9. B
10. 10

f1("A","B",10) ==>Invalid

keyword arguments will be stored inside a dictionary.

Eg:

1) def display(**kwargs):
2) for k,v in kwargs.items():
3) print(k,"=",v)
4) display(n1=10,n2=20,n3=30)
5) display(rno=100,name="Durga",marks=70,subject="Java")

Types of Variables
Python supports 2 types of variables.

1. Global Variables
2. Local Variables

1. Global Variables

The variables which are declared outside of function are called global variables.
These variables can be accessed in all functions of that module.

Eg:

1) a=10 # global variable

2) def f1():
3) print(a)
4)
5) def f2():
6) print(a)
7)
8) f1()
9) f2()
10)
11) Output
12) 10
13) 10

2. Local Variables:

The variables which are declared inside a function are called local variables.
Local variables are available only for the function in which we declared it.i.e from outside
of function we cannot access.

Eg:

1) def f1():
2) a=10
3) print(a) # valid
4)
5) def f2():
6) print(a) #invalid
7)
8) f1()
9) f2()
10)
11) NameError: name 'a' is not defined

global keyword:
We can use global keyword for the following 2 purposes:

1. To declare global variable inside function

2. To make global variable available to the function so that we can perform required
modifications

Eg 1:

1) a=10
2) def f1():
3) a=777
4) print(a)
5)
6) def f2():
7) print(a)
8)
9) f1()
10) f2()
11)
12) Output
13) 777
14) 10

Note: If global variable and local variable having the same name then we can access
global variable inside a function as follows

1) a=10 #global variable

2) def f1():
3) a=777 #local variable
4) print(a)
5) print(globals()['a'])
6) f1()

Recursive Functions
A function that calls itself is known as Recursive Function.

Eg:
factorial(3)=3*factorial(2)
=3*2*factorial(1)
=3*2*1*factorial(0)
=3*2*1*1
=6
factorial(n)= n*factorial(n-1)

The main advantages of recursive functions are:

1. We can reduce length of the code and improves readability

2. We can solve complex problems very easily.

Q. Write a Python Function to find factorial of given number with recursion.

Eg:

1) def factorial(n):
2) if n==0:
3) result=1
4) else:
5) result=n*factorial(n-1)
6) return result
7) print("Factorial of 4 is :",factorial(4))
8) print("Factorial of 5 is :",factorial(5))
9)
10) Output

 11) Factorial of 4 is : 24
12) Factorial of 5 is : 120

Anonymous Functions:
Sometimes we can declare a function without any name,such type of nameless functions
are called anonymous functions or lambda functions.

The main purpose of anonymous function is just for instant use(i.e for one time usage)

Normal Function:
We can define by using def keyword.
def squareIt(n):
return n*n

lambda Function:
We can define by using lambda keyword

lambda n:n*n

Syntax of lambda Function:

lambda argument_list : expression

Note: By using Lambda Functions we can write very concise code so that readability of
the program will be improved.

Q. Write a program to create a lambda function to find square of given

number?

1) s=lambda n:n*n
2) print("The Square of 4 is :",s(4))
3) print("The Square of 5 is :",s(5))
4)
5) Output
6) The Square of 4 is : 16
7) The Square of 5 is : 25

Q. Lambda function to find sum of 2 given numbers

1) s=lambda a,b:a+b
2) print("The Sum of 10,20 is:",s(10,20))

4)
5) Output
6) The Sum of 10,20 is: 30
7) The Sum of 100,200 is: 300

Q. Lambda Function to find biggest of given values.

1) s=lambda a,b:a if a>b else b

2) print("The Biggest of 10,20 is:",s(10,20))
3) print("The Biggest of 100,200 is:",s(100,200))
4)
5) Output
6) The Biggest of 10,20 is: 20
7) The Biggest of 100,200 is: 200

Note:
Lambda Function internally returns expression value and we are not required to write
return statement explicitly.

Note: Sometimes we can pass function as argument to another function. In such cases
lambda functions are best choice.

We can use lambda functions very commonly with filter(),map() and reduce() functions,b'z
these functions expect function as argument.

filter() function:
We can use filter() function to filter values from the given sequence based on some
condition.

filter(function,sequence)

where function argument is responsible to perform conditional check

sequence can be list or tuple or string.

Q. Program to filter only even numbers from the list by using filter()
function?

without lambda Function:

1) def isEven(x):
2) if x%2==0:
3) return True
4) else:

 5) return False
6) l=[0,5,10,15,20,25,30]
7) l1=list(filter(isEven,l))
8) print(l1) #[0,10,20,30]

with lambda Function:

1) l=[0,5,10,15,20,25,30]
2) l1=list(filter(lambda x:x%2==0,l))
3) print(l1) #[0,10,20,30]
4) l2=list(filter(lambda x:x%2!=0,l))
5) print(l2) #[5,15,25]

map() function:
For every element present in the given sequence,apply some functionality and generate
new element with the required modification. For this requirement we should go for
map() function.

Eg: For every element present in the list perform double and generate new list of doubles.

Syntax:

map(function,sequence)

The function can be applied on each element of sequence and generates new sequence.

Eg: Without lambda

1) l=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) def doubleIt(x):
3) return 2*x
4) l1=list(map(doubleIt,l))
5) print(l1) #[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

with lambda
1) l=[1,2,3,4,5]
2) l1=list(map(lambda x:2*x,l))
3) print(l1) #[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

Eg 2: To find square of given numbers

1. l=[1,2,3,4,5]
2. l1=list(map(lambda x:x*x,l))
3. print(l1) #[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

We can apply map() function on multiple lists also.But make sure all list should have same
length.

Syntax: map(lambda x,y:x*y,l1,l2))

x is from l1 and y is from l2
Eg:

1. l1=[1,2,3,4]
2. l2=[2,3,4,5]
3. l3=list(map(lambda x,y:x*y,l1,l2))
4. print(l3) #[2, 6, 12, 20]

reduce() function:
reduce() function reduces sequence of elements into a single element by applying the
specified function.

reduce(function,sequence)

reduce() function present in functools module and hence we should write import
statement.

Eg:

1) from functools import *

2) l=[10,20,30,40,50]
3) result=reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,l)
4) print(result) # 150

Eg:

1) result=reduce(lambda x,y:x*y,l)
2) print(result) #12000000

Eg:

1) from functools import *

2) result=reduce(lambda x,y:x+y,range(1,101))
3) print(result) #5050

Function Decorators:
Decorator is a function which can take a function as argument and extend its functionality
and returns modified function with extended functionality.

Input Function new(add some functionality)

Decorator
wish()
inner()

Input Function Decorator Output Function with

Function extended Functionality

The main objective of decorator functions is we can extend the functionality of existing
functions without modifies that function.

1) def wish(name):
2) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")

This function can always print same output for any name

Hello Durga Good Morning

Hello Ravi Good Morning
Hello Sunny Good Morning

But we want to modify this function to provide different message if name is Sunny.
We can do this without touching wish() function by using decorator.

Eg:

1) def decor(func):
2) def inner(name):
3) if name=="Sunny":
4) print("Hello Sunny Bad Morning")
5) else:
6) func(name)
7) return inner
8)
9) @decor
10) def wish(name):
11) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")
12)
13) wish("Durga")
14) wish("Ravi")
15) wish("Sunny")
16)

 17) Output
18) Hello Durga Good Morning
19) Hello Ravi Good Morning
20) Hello Sunny Bad Morning

In the above program whenever we call wish() function automatically decor function will
be executed.

How to call same function with decorator and without decorator:

We should not use @decor

1) def decor(func):
2) def inner(name):
3) if name=="Sunny":
4) print("Hello Sunny Bad Morning")
5) else:
6) func(name)
7) return inner
8)
9)
10) def wish(name):
11) print("Hello",name,"Good Morning")
12)
13) decorfunction=decor(wish)
14)
15) wish("Durga") #decorator wont be executed
16) wish("Sunny") #decorator wont be executed
17)
18) decorfunction("Durga")#decorator will be executed
19) decorfunction("Sunny")#decorator will be executed
20)
21) Output
22) Hello Durga Good Morning
23) Hello Sunny Good Morning
24) Hello Durga Good Morning
25) Hello Sunny Bad Morning

Eg 2:

1) def smart_division(func):
2) def inner(a,b):
3) print("We are dividing",a,"with",b)
4) if b==0:
5) print("OOPS...cannot divide")
6) return

10)
11) @smart_division
12) def division(a,b):
13) return a/b
14)
15) print(division(20,2))
16) print(division(20,0))
17)
18) without decorator we will get Error.In this case output is:
19)
20) 10.0
21) Traceback (most recent call last):
22) File "test.py", line 16, in <module>
23) print(division(20,0))
24) File "test.py", line 13, in division
25) return a/b
26) ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

with decorator we won't get any error. In this case output is:

We are dividing 20 with 2

10.0
We are dividing 20 with 0
OOPS...cannot divide
None

Decorator Chaining
We can define multiple decorators for the same function and all these decorators will
form Decorator Chaining.

Eg:
@decor1
@decor
def num():

For num() function we are applying 2 decorator functions. First inner decorator will work
and then outer decorator.

Eg:

1) def decor1(func):
2) def inner():
3) x=func()
4) return x*x

6)
7) def decor(func):
8) def inner():
9) x=func()
10) return 2*x
11) return inner
12)
13) @decor1
14) @decor
15) def num():
16) return 10
17)
18) print(num())

Generators
Generator is a function which is responsible to generate a sequence of values.
We can write generator functions just like ordinary functions, but it uses yield keyword to
return values.

Generator A Sequence of Values

Function

yield

Eg 1:

1) def mygen():
2) yield 'A'
3) yield 'B'
4) yield 'C'
5)
6) g=mygen()
7) print(type(g))
8)
9) print(next(g))
10) print(next(g))
11) print(next(g))
12) print(next(g))
13)
14) Output
15) <class 'generator'>
16) A
17) B
18) C

4) yield num
5) num=num-1
6)
7) values=countdown(5)
8) for x in values:
9) print(x)
10)
11) Output
12) Start Countdown
13) 5
14) 4
15) 3
16) 2
17) 1

Eg 3: To generate first n numbers:

1) def firstn(num):
2) n=1
3) while n<=num:
4) yield n
5) n=n+1
6)
7) values=firstn(5)
8) for x in values:
9) print(x)
10)
11) Output
12) 1
13) 2
14) 3
15) 4
16) 5

We can convert generator into list as follows:

values=firstn(10)
l1=list(values)
print(l1) #[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

The next is the sum of previous 2 numbers

Eg: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,...

1) def fib():
2) a,b=0,1
3) while True:
4) yield a
5) a,b=b,a+b
6) for f in fib():
7) if f>100:
8) break

Advantages of generator functions:

1. when compared with class level iterators, generators are very easy to use
2. Improves memory utilization and performance.
3. Generators are best suitable for reading data from large number of large files
4. Generators work great for web scraping and crawling

 Modules
A group of functions ,variables and classes saved to a file,which is nothing but module.

Every Python file(.py) acts as a module.

Eg: durgamath.py

1) x=888
2)
3) def add(a,b):
4) print("The Sum:",a+b)
5)
6) def product(a,b):
7) print("The Product:",a*b)

durgamath module contains one variable and 2 functions.

If we want to use members of module in our program then we should import that module.

import modulename

We can access members by using module name.

modulename.variable
modulename.function()

test.py:

1) import durgamath
2) print(durgamath.x)
3) durgamath.add(10,20)
4) durgamath.product(10,20)
5)
6) Output
7) 888
8) The Sum: 30
9) The Product: 200

Note:
whenever we are using a module in our program, for that module compiled file will be
generated and stored in the hard disk permanently.

Renaming a module at the time of import (module aliasing):

Eg:
import durgamath as m

here durgamath is original module name and m is alias name.

We can access members by using alias name m

test.py:

1) import durgamath as m
2) print(m.x)
3) m.add(10,20)
4) m.product(10,20)

from ... import:

We can import particular members of module by using from ... import .

The main advantage of this is we can access members directly without using module
name.

Eg:
from durgamath import x,add
print(x)
add(10,20)
product(10,20)==> NameError: name 'product' is not defined

We can import all members of a module as follows

from durgamath import *

test.py:

1) from durgamath import *

2) print(x)
3) add(10,20)

import module1 as m
import module1 as m1,module2 as m2,module3
from module import member
from module import member1,member2,memebr3
from module import memeber1 as x
from module import *

member aliasing:
from durgamath import x as y,add as sum
print(y)
sum(10,20)

Once we defined as alias name,we should use alias name only and we should not use
original name

Eg:
from durgamath import x as y
print(x)==>NameError: name 'x' is not defined

Reloading a Module:
By default module will be loaded only once eventhough we are importing multiple
multiple times.

module1.py:

print("This is from module1")

test.py

1) import module1
2) import module1
3) import module1
4) import module1
5) print("This is test module")
6)
7) Output
8) This is from module1
9) This is test module

In the above program test module will be loaded only once eventhough we are importing
multiple times.

The problem in this approach is after loading a module if it is updated outside then
updated version of module1 is not available to our program.

We can solve this problem by reloading module explicitly based on our requirement.
We can reload by using reload() function of imp module.

import imp
imp.reload(module1)

test.py:

1) import module1
2) import module1
3) from imp import reload
4) reload(module1)
5) reload(module1)
6) reload(module1)
7) print("This is test module")

In the above program module1 will be loaded 4 times in that 1 time by default and 3 times
explicitly. In this case output is

1) This is from module1

2) This is from module1
3) This is from module1
4) This is from module1
5) This is test module

The main advantage of explicit module reloading is we can ensure that updated version is
always available to our program.

Finding members of module by using dir() function:

Python provides inbuilt function dir() to list out all members of current module or a
specified module.

dir() ===>To list out all members of current module

dir(moduleName)==>To list out all members of specified module

Eg 1: test.py

1) x=10
2) y=20

7) Output
8) ['__annotations__', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__nam

Eg 2: To display members of particular module:

durgamath.py:

1. x=888
2.
3. def add(a,b):
4. print("The Sum:",a+b)
5.
6. def product(a,b):
7. print("The Product:",a*b)

test.py:

1. import durgamath
2. print(dir(durgamath))
3.
4. Output
5. ['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__',
6. '__package__', '__spec__', 'add', 'product', 'x']

Note: For every module at the time of execution Python interpreter will add some special
properties automatically for internal use.

Eg: __builtins__,__cached__,'__doc__,__file__, __loader__, __name__,__package__,

__spec__

Based on our requirement we can access these properties also in our program.

Eg: test.py:

1. print(__builtins__ )
2. print(__cached__ )
3. print(__doc__)
4. print(__file__)
5. print(__loader__)
6. print(__name__)
7. print(__package__)

The Special variable __name__:

For every Python program , a special variable __name__ will be added internally.
This variable stores information regarding whether the program is executed as an
individual program or as a module.

If the program executed as an individual program then the value of this variable is
__main__
If the program executed as a module from some other program then the value of this
variable is the name of module where it is defined.

Hence by using this __name__ variable we can identify whether the program executed
directly or as a module.

Demo program:
module1.py:

1) def f1():
2) if __name__=='__main__':
3) print("The code executed as a program")
4) else:
5) print("The code executed as a module from some other program")
6) f1()

Working with math module:

Python provides inbuilt module math.
This module defines several functions which can be used for mathematical operations.
The main important functions are

1. sqrt(x)
2. ceil(x)
3. floor(x)
4. fabs(x)
5.log(x)
6. sin(x)
7. tan(x)
....

Eg:

1) from math import *

2) print(sqrt(4))
3) print(ceil(10.1))
4) print(floor(10.1))
5) print(fabs(-10.6))
6) print(fabs(10.6))

It is an encapsulation mechanism to group related modules into a single unit.
package is nothing but folder or directory which represents collection of Python modules.

Any folder or directory contains __init__.py file,is considered as a Python package.This file
can be empty.

A package can contains sub packages also.

 Exception Handling
In any programming language there are 2 types of errors are possible.

1. Syntax Errors
2. Runtime Errors

1. Syntax Errors:

The errors which occurs because of invalid syntax are called syntax errors.

Eg 1:

x=10
if x==10
print("Hello")

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Eg 2:
print "Hello"

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Note:
Programmer is responsible to correct these syntax errors. Once all syntax errors are
corrected then only program execution will be started.

2. Runtime Errors:

Also known as exceptions.

While executing the program if something goes wrong because of end user input or
programming logic or memory problems etc then we will get Runtime Errors.

Eg: print(10/0) ==>ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

print(10/"ten") ==>TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'int' and 'str'

x=int(input("Enter Number:"))
print(x)

 Enter Number:ten
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'ten'

Note: Exception Handling concept applicable for Runtime Errors but not for syntax errors

What is Exception:
An unwanted and unexpected event that disturbs normal flow of program is called
exception.

Eg:

ZeroDivisionError
TypeError
ValueError
FileNotFoundError
EOFError
SleepingError
TyrePuncturedError

It is highly recommended to handle exceptions. The main objective of exception handling

is Graceful Termination of the program(i.e we should not block our resources and we
should not miss anything)

Exception handling does not mean repairing exception. We have to define alternative way
to continue rest of the program normally.

Eg:

For example our programming requirement is reading data from remote file locating at
London. At runtime if london file is not available then the program should not be
terminated abnormally. We have to provide local file to continue rest of the program
normally. This way of defining alternative is nothing but exception handling.

try:

read data from remote file locating at london

except FileNotFoundError:
use local file and continue rest of the program normally

Default Exception Handing in Python:
Every exception in Python is an object. For every exception type the corresponding classes
are available.

Whevever an exception occurs PVM will create the corresponding exception object and
will check for handling code. If handling code is not available then Python interpreter
terminates the program abnormally and prints corresponding exception information to
the console.
The rest of the program won't be executed.

Eg:

1) print("Hello")
2) print(10/0)
3) print("Hi")
4)
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) Hello
7) Traceback (most recent call last):
8) File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
9) print(10/0)
10) ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Every Exception in Python is a class.

All exception classes are child classes of BaseException.i.e every exception class extends
BaseException either directly or indirectly. Hence BaseException acts as root for Python
Exception Hierarchy.

Most of the times being a programmer we have to concentrate Exception and its child
classes.

Customized Exception Handling by using try-except:

It is highly recommended to handle exceptions.

The code which may raise exception is called risky code and we have to take risky code
inside try block. The corresponding handling code we have to take inside except block.

case-2: If an exception raised at stmt-2 and corresponding except block matched
1,4,5 Normal Termination

case-3: If an exception raised at stmt-2 and corresponding except block not matched
1, Abnormal Termination

case-4: If an exception raised at stmt-4 or at stmt-5 then it is always abnormal

termination.

Conclusions:
1. within the try block if anywhere exception raised then rest of the try block wont be
executed eventhough we handled that exception. Hence we have to take only risky code
inside try block and length of the try block should be as less as possible.

2. In addition to try block,there may be a chance of raising exceptions inside except and
finally blocks also.

3. If any statement which is not part of try block raises an exception then it is always
abnormal termination.

How to print exception information:

try:

1. print(10/0)
2. except ZeroDivisionError as msg:
3. print("exception raised and its description is:",msg)
4.
5. Output exception raised and its description is: division by zero

try with multiple except blocks:

The way of handling exception is varied from exception to exception.Hence for every
exception type a seperate except block we have to provide. i.e try with multiple except
blocks is possible and recommended to use.

Eg:
try:
-------
-------
-------
except ZeroDivisionError:
perform alternative
arithmetic operations

except FileNotFoundError:
use local file instead of remote file

If try with multiple except blocks available then based on raised exception the
corresponding except block will be executed.

Eg:

1) try:
2) x=int(input("Enter First Number: "))
3) y=int(input("Enter Second Number: "))
4) print(x/y)
5) except ZeroDivisionError :
6) print("Can't Divide with Zero")
7) except ValueError:
8) print("please provide int value only")
9)
10) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
11) Enter First Number: 10
12) Enter Second Number: 2
13) 5.0
14)
15) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
16) Enter First Number: 10
17) Enter Second Number: 0
18) Can't Divide with Zero
19)
20) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
21) Enter First Number: 10
22) Enter Second Number: ten
23) please provide int value only

If try with multiple except blocks available then the order of these except blocks is
important .Python interpreter will always consider from top to bottom until matched

Single except block that can handle multiple exceptions:

We can write a single except block that can handle multiple different types of exceptions.

except (Exception1,Exception2,exception3,..): or
except (Exception1,Exception2,exception3,..) as msg :

Parenthesis are mandatory and this group of exceptions internally considered as tuple.

Eg:

1) try:
2) x=int(input("Enter First Number: "))
3) y=int(input("Enter Second Number: "))
4) print(x/y)
5) except (ZeroDivisionError,ValueError) as msg:
6) print("Plz Provide valid numbers only and problem is: ",msg)
7)
8) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
9) Enter First Number: 10
10) Enter Second Number: 0
11) Plz Provide valid numbers only and problem is: division by zero
12)
13) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
14) Enter First Number: 10
15) Enter Second Number: ten
16) Plz Provide valid numbers only and problem is: invalid literal for int() with b
17) ase 10: 'ten'

Default except block:

We can use default except block to handle any type of exceptions.
In default except block generally we can print normal error messages.

Syntax:
except:

Eg:

1) try:
2) x=int(input("Enter First Number: "))
3) y=int(input("Enter Second Number: "))
4) print(x/y)

The following are various possible combinations of except blocks

1. except ZeroDivisionError:
1. except ZeroDivisionError as msg:
3. except (ZeroDivisionError,ValueError) :
4. except (ZeroDivisionError,ValueError) as msg:
5. except :

finally block:

1. It is not recommended to maintain clean up code(Resource Deallocating Code or

Resource Releasing code) inside try block because there is no guarentee for the execution
of every statement inside try block always.

2. It is not recommended to maintain clean up code inside except block, because if there
is no exception then except block won't be executed.

Hence we required some place to maintain clean up code which should be executed
always irrespective of whether exception raised or not raised and whether exception
handled or not handled. Such type of best place is nothing but finally block.

Hence the main purpose of finally block is to maintain clean up code.

try:
Risky Code
except:
Handling Code
finally:
Cleanup code

The speciality of finally block is it will be executed always whether exception raised or not
raised and whether exception handled or not handled.

Various possible combinations of try-except-else-finally:

1. Whenever we are writing try block,compulsory we should write except or finally
block.i.e without except or finally block we cannot write try block.

2. Wheneever we are writing except block,compulsory we should write try block. i.e
except without try is always invalid.

3. Whenever we are writing finally block,compulsory we should write try block. i.e finally
without try is always invalid.

4.We can write multiple except blocks for the same try,but we cannot write multiple
finally blocks for the same try

5. Whenever we are writing else block compulsory except block should be there. i.e
without except we cannot write else block.

6. In try-except-else-finally order is important.

Types of Exceptions:
In Python there are 2 types of exceptions are possible.
1. Predefined Exceptions
2. User Definded Exceptions

1. Predefined Exceptions:

Also known as Inbuilt exceptions

The exceptions which are raised automatically by Python virtual machine whenver a
particular event occurs ,are called pre defined exceptions.

Eg 1: Whenever we are trying to perform Division by zero,automatically Python will raise
ZeroDivisionError.
print(10/0)

Eg 2: Whenever we are trying to convert input value to int type and if input value is not
int value then Python will raise ValueError automatically

x=int("ten")===>ValueError

2. User Defined Exceptions:

Also known as Customized Exceptions or Programatic Exceptions

Some time we have to define and raise exceptions explicitly to indicate that something
goes wrong ,such type of exceptions are called User Defined Exceptions or Customized
Exceptions

Programmer is responsible to define these exceptions and Python not having any idea
about these. Hence we have to raise explicitly based on our requirement by using "raise"
keyword.

Eg:

InSufficientFundsException
InvalidInputException
TooYoungException
TooOldException

How to Define and Raise Customized Exceptions:

Every exception in Python is a class that extends Exception class either directly or
indirectly.

Syntax:
class classname(predefined exception class name):
def __init__(self,arg):
self.msg=arg

Eg:

1) class TooYoungException(Exception):
2) def __init__(self,arg):
3) self.msg=arg

TooYoungException is our class name which is the child class of Exception

We can raise exception by using raise keyword as follows
raise TooYoungException("message")

Eg:

1) class TooYoungException(Exception):
2) def __init__(self,arg):
3) self.msg=arg
4)
5) class TooOldException(Exception):
6) def __init__(self,arg):
7) self.msg=arg
8)
9) age=int(input("Enter Age:"))
10) if age>60:
11) raise TooYoungException("Plz wait some more time you will get best match soon!!!")
12) elif age<18:
13) raise TooOldException("Your age already crossed marriage age...no chance of getting ma
rriage")
14) else:
15) print("You will get match details soon by email!!!")
16)
17) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
18) Enter Age:90
19) __main__.TooYoungException: Plz wait some more time you will get best match soon!!!
20)
21) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
22) Enter Age:12
23) __main__.TooOldException: Your age already crossed marriage age...no chance of g
24) etting marriage
25)
26) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
27) Enter Age:27
28) You will get match details soon by email!!!

Note:
raise keyword is best suitable for customized exceptions but not for pre defined
exceptions

Logging the Exceptions:

It is highly recommended to store complete application flow and exceptions information
to a file. This process is called logging.

The main advantages of logging are:

1. We can use log files while performing debugging
2. We can provide statistics like number of requests per day etc
To implement logging,Python provides one inbuilt module logging.

logging levels:
Depending on type of information,logging data is divided according to the following 6
levels in Python.
table

1. CRITICAL==>50==>Represents a very serious problem that needs high attention

2. ERROR===>40===>Represents a serious error
3. WARNING==>30==>Represents a warning message ,some caution needed.it is alert to
the programmer
4. INFO===>20===>Represents a message with some important information
5. DEBUG===>10==>Represents a message with debugging information
6. NOTSET==>0==>Rrepresents that the level is not set.

By default while executing Python program only WARNING and higher level messages will
be displayed.

How to implement logging:

To perform logging,first we required to create a file to store messages and we have to
specify which level messages we have to store.

We can do this by using basicConfig() function of logging module.

logging.basicConfig(filename='log.txt',level=logging.WARNING)

The above line will create a file log.txt and we can store either WARNING level or higher
level messages to that file.

After creating log file,we can write messages to that file by using the following methods.

logging.debug(message)
logging.info(message)
logging.warning(message)
logging.error(message)
logging.critical(message)

Debugging Python Program by using assert keyword:

The process of identifying and fixing the bug is called debugging.
Very common way of debugging is to use print() statement. But the problem with the
print() statement is after fixing the bug,compulsory we have to delete the extra added
print() statments,otherwise these will be executed at runtime which creates performance
problems and disturbs console output.

To overcome this problem we should go for assert statement. The main advantage of
assert statement over print() statement is after fixing bug we are not required to delete
assert statements. Based on our requirement we can enable or disable assert statements.

Hence the main purpose of assertions is to perform debugging. Usully we can perform
debugging either in development or in test environments but not in production
environment. Hence assertions concept is applicable only for dev and test environments
but not for production environment.

Types of assert statements:

There are 2 types of assert statements

1. Simple Version
2. Augmented Version

1. Simple Version:

assert conditional_expression

2. Augmented Version:

assert conditional_expression,message

conditional_expression will be evaluated and if it is true then the program will be

continued.
If it is false then the program will be terminated by raising AssertionError.

By seeing AssertionError,programmer can analyze the code and can fix the problem.

Eg:

1) def squareIt(x):
2) return x**x
3) assert squareIt(2)==4,"The square of 2 should be 4"
4) assert squareIt(3)==9,"The square of 3 should be 9"
5) assert squareIt(4)==16,"The square of 4 should be 16"
6) print(squareIt(2))
7) print(squareIt(3))
8) print(squareIt(4))
9)
10) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
11) Traceback (most recent call last):
12) File "test.py", line 4, in <module>
13) assert squareIt(3)==9,"The square of 3 should be 9"
14) AssertionError: The square of 3 should be 9
15)
16) def squareIt(x):
17) return x*x
18) assert squareIt(2)==4,"The square of 2 should be 4"
19) assert squareIt(3)==9,"The square of 3 should be 9"
20) assert squareIt(4)==16,"The square of 4 should be 16"

Exception Handling vs assertions:

Assertions concept can be used to alert programmer to resolve development time errors.

Exception Handling can be used to handle runtime errors.

File Handling:
As the part of programming requirement,we have to store our data permanently for
future purpose. For this requirement we should go for files.

Files are very common permanent storage areas to store our data.

Types of Files:
There are 2 types of files

1. Text Files:

Usually we can use text files to store character data

eg: abc.txt

2. Binary Files:

Usually we can use binary files to store binary data like images,video files, audio files etc...

Opening a File:
Before performing any operation (like read or write) on the file,first we have to open that
file.For this we should use Python's inbuilt function open()

But at the time of open,we have to specify mode,which represents the purpose of opening
file.

f=open(filename,mode)

The allowed modes in Python are

1. r--->open an existing file for read operation. The file pointer is positioned at the
beginning of the file.If the specified file does not exist then we will get
FileNotFoundError.This is default mode.

2. w--->open an existing file for write operation. If the file already contains some data
then it will be overridden. If the specified file is not already avaialble then this mode will
create that file.

3. a--->open an existing file for append operation. It won't override existing data.If the
specified file is not already avaialble then this mode will create a new file.

4. r+ --->To read and write data into the file. The previous data in the file will not be
deleted.The file pointer is placed at the beginning of the file.

5. w+--->To write and read data. It will override existing data.

6. a+--->To append and read data from the file.It wont override existing data.

7. x--->To open a file in exclusive creation mode for write operation. If the file already
exists then we will get FileExistsError.

Note: All the above modes are applicable for text files. If the above modes suffixed with
'b' then these represents for binary files.

Eg: rb,wb,ab,r+b,w+b,a+b,xb

f=open("abc.txt","w")

We are opening abc.txt file for writing data.

Closing a File:
After completing our operations on the file,it is highly recommended to close the file.
For this we have to use close() function.

f.close()

Various properties of File Object:

Once we opend a file and we got file object,we can get various details related to that file
by using its properties.

name--->Name of opened file

mode---->Mode in which the file is opened
closed---->returns boolean value indicates that file is closed or not
readable()--->Retruns boolean value indicates that whether file is readable or not
writable()----->Returns boolean value indicates that whether file is writable or not.

Eg:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'w')
2) print("File Name: ",f.name)
3) print("File Mode: ",f.mode)
4) print("Is File Readable: ",f.readable())
5) print("Is File Writable: ",f.writable())
6) print("Is File Closed : ",f.closed)
7) f.close()
8) print("Is File Closed : ",f.closed)
9)
10)
11) Output
12) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
13) File Name: abc.txt

 14) File Mode: w
15) Is File Readable: False
16) Is File Writable: True
17) Is File Closed : False
18) Is File Closed : True

Writing data to text files:

We can write character data to the text files by using the following 2 methods.

write(str)
writelines(list of lines)

Eg:

1. f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2. f.write("Durga\n")
3. f.write("Software\n")
4. f.write("Solutions\n")
5. print("Data written to the file successfully")
6. f.close()

abcd.txt:

Durga
Software
Solutions

Note: In the above program,data present in the file will be overridden everytime if we
run the program. Instead of overriding if we want append operation then we should open
the file as follows.

f=open("abcd.txt","a")

Eg 2:

1) f=open("abcd.txt",'w')
2) list=["sunny\n","bunny\n","vinny\n","chinny"]
3) f.writelines(list)
4) print("List of lines written to the file successfully")
5) f.close()

abcd.txt:
sunny
bunny
vinny

chinny

Note: while writing data by using write() methods, compulsory we have to provide line
seperator(\n),otherwise total data should be written to a single line.

Reading Character Data from text files:

We can read character data from text file by using the following read methods.

read()===>To read total data from the file

read(n)===>To read 'n' characters from the file
readline()==>To read only one line
readlines()==>To read all lines into a list

Eg 1: To read total data from the file

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) data=f.read()
3) print(data)
4) f.close()
5)
6) Output
7) sunny
8) bunny
9) chinny
10) vinny

Eg 2: To read only first 10 characters:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) data=f.read(10)
3) print(data)
4) f.close()
5)
6) Output
7) sunny
8) bunn

Eg 3: To read data line by line:

1) f=open("abc.txt",'r')
2) line1=f.readline()
3) print(line1,end='')
4) line2=f.readline()
5) print(line2,end='')
6) line3=f.readline()

The with statement:

The with statement can be used while opening a file.We can use this to group file
operation statements within a block.
The advantage of with statement is it will take care closing of file,after completing all
operations automatically even in the case of exceptions also, and we are not required to
close explicitly.

The seek() and tell() methods:

tell():

==>We can use tell() method to return current position of the cursor(file pointer) from
beginning of the file. [ can you plese telll current cursor position]

The position(index) of first character in files is zero just like string index.

Eg:

1) f=open("abc.txt","r")
2) print(f.tell())
3) print(f.read(2))
4) print(f.tell())

seek():

We can use seek() method to move cursor(file pointer) to specified location.

[Can you please seek the cursor to a particular location]

f.seek(offset,fromwhere)

offset represents the number of positions

The allowed values for second attribute(from where) are

0---->From beginning of file(default value)
1---->From current position
2--->From end of the file

Note: Python 2 supports all 3 values but Python 3 supports only zero.

Eg:

1) data="All Students are STUPIDS"

2) f=open("abc.txt","w")
3) f.write(data)
4) with open("abc.txt","r+") as f:

Handling Binary Data:

It is very common requirement to read or write binary data like images,video files,audio
files etc.

Q. Program to read image file and write to a new image file?

Handling csv files:
CSV==>Comma seperated values

As the part of programming,it is very common requirement to write and read data wrt csv
files. Python provides csv module to handle csv files.

Writing data to csv file:

1) import csv
2) with open("emp.csv","w",newline='') as f:
3) w=csv.writer(f) # returns csv writer object
4) w.writerow(["ENO","ENAME","ESAL","EADDR"])
5) n=int(input("Enter Number of Employees:"))
6) for i in range(n):
7) eno=input("Enter Employee No:")
8) ename=input("Enter Employee Name:")
9) esal=input("Enter Employee Salary:")
10) eaddr=input("Enter Employee Address:")
11) w.writerow([eno,ename,esal,eaddr])
12) print("Total Employees data written to csv file successfully")

Note: Observe the difference with newline attribute and without

with open("emp.csv","w",newline='') as f:
with open("emp.csv","w") as f:

Note: If we are not using newline attribute then in the csv file blank lines will be included
between data. To prevent these blank lines, newline attribute is required in Python-3,but
in Python-2 just we can specify mode as 'wb' and we are not required to use newline
attribute.

Reading Data from csv file:

1) import csv
2) f=open("emp.csv",'r')
3) r=csv.reader(f) #returns csv reader object
4) data=list(r)
5) #print(data)
6) for line in data:

Zipping and Unzipping Files:

It is very common requirement to zip and unzip files.

The main advantages are:

1. To improve memory utilization

2. We can reduce transport time
3. We can improve performance.

To perform zip and unzip operations, Python contains one in-bulit module zip file.
This module contains a class : ZipFile

To create Zip file:

We have to create ZipFile class object with name of the zip file,mode and constant
ZIP_DEFLATED. This constant represents we are creating zip file.

f=ZipFile("files.zip","w","ZIP_DEFLATED")

Once we create ZipFile object,we can add files by using write() method.

f.write(filename)

Eg:

1) from zipfile import *

2) f=ZipFile("files.zip",'w',ZIP_DEFLATED)
3) f.write("file1.txt")
4) f.write("file2.txt")
5) f.write("file3.txt")
6) f.close()
7) print("files.zip file created successfully")

To perform unzip operation:

We have to create ZipFile object as follows

f=ZipFile("files.zip","r",ZIP_STORED)

ZIP_STORED represents unzip operation. This is default value and hence we are not
required to specify.

Once we created ZipFile object for unzip operation,we can get all file names present in
that zip file by using namelist() method.

names =f.namelist()

Eg:

1) from zipfile import *

2) f=ZipFile("files.zip",'r',ZIP_STORED)
3) names=f.namelist()
4) for name in names:
5) print( "File Name: ",name)
6) print("The Content of this file is:")
7) f1=open(name,'r')
8) print(f1.read())
9) print()

Working with Directories:

It is very common requirement to perform operations for directories like

1. To know current working directory

2. To create a new directory
3. To remove an existing directory
4. To rename a directory
5. To list contents of the directory
etc...

To perform these operations,Python provides inbuilt module os,which contains several

functions to perform directory related operations.

Q1. To Know Current Working Directory:

import os
cwd=os.getcwd()
print("Current Working Directory:",cwd)

Q2. To create a sub directory in the current working directory:

import os
os.mkdir("mysub")
print("mysub directory created in cwd")

Q3. To create a sub directory in mysub directory:

cwd
|-mysub
|-mysub2

import os
os.mkdir("mysub/mysub2")
print("mysub2 created inside mysub")

Note: Assume mysub already present in cwd.

Q4. To create multiple directories like sub1 in that sub2 in that sub3:

import os
os.makedirs("sub1/sub2/sub3")
print("sub1 and in that sub2 and in that sub3 directories created")

Q5. To remove a directory:

import os
os.rmdir("mysub/mysub2")
print("mysub2 directory deleted")

Q6. To remove multiple directories in the path:

import os
os.removedirs("sub1/sub2/sub3")
print("All 3 directories sub1,sub2 and sub3 removed")

Q7. To rename a directory:

import os
os.rename("mysub","newdir")
print("mysub directory renamed to newdir")

Q8. To know contents of directory:

os module provides listdir() to list out the contents of the specified directory. It won't
display the contents of sub directory.

DURGASOFT, # 202, 2nd Floor, HUDA Maitrivanam, Ameerpet, Hyderabad - 500038,

Eg:

1) import os
2) print(os.listdir("."))
3)
4) Output
5) D:\Python_classes>py test.py
6) ['abc.py', 'abc.txt', 'abcd.txt', 'com', 'demo.py', 'durgamath.py', 'emp.csv', '
7) file1.txt', 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt', 'files.zip', 'log.txt', 'module1.py', 'myl
8) og.txt', 'newdir', 'newpic.jpg', 'pack1', 'rossum.jpg', 'test.py', '__pycache__'
9) ]

The above program display contents of current working directory but not contents of sub
directories.

If we want the contents of a directory including sub directories then we should go for
walk() function.

Q9. To know contents of directory including sub directories:

We have to use walk() function

[Can you please walk in the directory so that we can aware all contents of that directory]

os.walk(path,topdown=True,onerror=None,followlinks=False)

It returns an Iterator object whose contents can be displayed by using for loop

path-->Directory path. cwd means .

topdown=True --->Travel from top to bottom
onerror=None --->on error detected which function has to execute.
followlinks=True -->To visit directories pointed by symbolic links

Eg: To display all contents of Current working directory including sub directories:
1) import os
2) for dirpath,dirnames,filenames in os.walk('.'):
3) print("Current Directory Path:",dirpath)
4) print("Directories:",dirnames)
5) print("Files:",filenames)
6) print()
7)
8)
9) Output
10) Current Directory Path: .
11) Directories: ['com', 'newdir', 'pack1', '__pycache__']
12) Files: ['abc.txt', 'abcd.txt', 'demo.py', 'durgamath.py', 'emp.csv', 'file1.txt'
13) , 'file2.txt', 'file3.txt', 'files.zip', 'log.txt', 'module1.py', 'mylog.txt', '

16) Current Directory Path: .\com
17) Directories: ['durgasoft', '__pycache__']
18) Files: ['module1.py', '__init__.py']
19)
20) ...

Note: To display contents of particular directory,we have to provide that directory name
as argument to walk() function.

os.walk("directoryname")

Q. What is the difference between listdir() and walk() functions?

In the case of listdir(), we will get contents of specified directory but not sub directory
contents. But in the case of walk() function we will get contents of specified directory and
its sub directories also.

Running Other programs from Python program:

os module contains system() function to run programs and commands.

It is exactly same as system() function in C language.

os.system("commad string")
The argument is any command which is executing from DOS.

Eg:

import os
os.system("dir *.py")
os.system("py abc.py")

How to get information about a File:

We can get statistics of a file like size, last accessed time,last modified time etc by using
stat() function of os module.

stats=os.stat("abc.txt")

The statistics of a file includes the following parameters:

st_mode==>Protection Bits
st_ino==>Inode number
st_dev===>device

st_uid===>userid of owner
st_gid==>group id of owner
st_size===>size of file in bytes
st_atime==>Time of most recent access
st_mtime==>Time of Most recent modification
st_ctime==> Time of Most recent meta data change

Note:

st_atime, st_mtime and st_ctime returns the time as number of milli seconds since Jan 1st
1970 ,12:00AM. By using datetime module fromtimestamp() function,we can get exact
date and time.

Pickling and Unpickling of Objects:
Sometimes we have to write total state of object to the file and we have to read total
object from the file.

The process of writing state of object to the file is called pickling and the process of
reading state of an object from the file is called unpickling.

We can implement pickling and unpickling by using pickle module of Python.

pickle module contains dump() function to perform pickling.

pickle.dump(object,file)

pickle module contains load() function to perform unpickling

obj=pickle.load(file)
pickling
pickle.dump
eno: 100 (e1, f)
ename: Durga
esal: 10000
eaddr: HYD
e1 eno: 100
ename: Durga
esal: 10000
eaddr: HYD

eno: 100 abc.txt

ename: Durga pickle load (f)
esal: 10000
eaddr: HYD unpickling
e2

Writing and Reading State of object by using pickle Module:

1) import pickle
2) class Employee:
3) def __init__(self,eno,ename,esal,eaddr):
4) self.eno=eno;
5) self.ename=ename;
6) self.esal=esal;
7) self.eaddr=eaddr;
8) def display(self):

 9) print(self.eno,"\t",self.ename,"\t",self.esal,"\t",self.eaddr)
10) with open("emp.dat","wb") as f:
11) e=Employee(100,"Durga",1000,"Hyd")
12) pickle.dump(e,f)
13) print("Pickling of Employee Object completed...")
14)
15) with open("emp.dat","rb") as f:
16) obj=pickle.load(f)
17) print("Printing Employee Information after unpickling")
18) obj.display()

Writing Multiple Employee Objects to the file:

emp.py:

1) class Employee:
2) def __init__(self,eno,ename,esal,eaddr):
3) self.eno=eno;
4) self.ename=ename;
5) self.esal=esal;
6) self.eaddr=eaddr;
7) def display(self):
8)
9)
10) print(self.eno,"\t",self.ename,"\t",self.esal,"\t",self.eaddr)

pick.py:

1) import emp,pickle
2) f=open("emp.dat","wb")
3) n=int(input("Enter The number of Employees:"))
4) for i in range(n):
5) eno=int(input("Enter Employee Number:"))
6) ename=input("Enter Employee Name:")
7) esal=float(input("Enter Employee Salary:"))
8) eaddr=input("Enter Employee Address:")
9) e=emp.Employee(eno,ename,esal,eaddr)
10) pickle.dump(e,f)
11) print("Employee Objects pickled successfully")

unpick.py:

1) import emp,pickle
2) f=open("emp.dat","rb")
3) print("Employee Details:")
4) while True:
5) try:
6) obj=pickle.load(f)
