13. Parameter and Arguments

variables used in function definition are called parameters
values passed to a function call are called arguments
Parameters that are assigned a value in the function definition are called default parameters.
Default parameters always come at the end of the parameter list in a function definition.
The argument corresponding to a default parameter is optional in a function call.
14. Call By Value (Inside Fn Vs Outside Fn)
Passing arguments like whole numbers, strings or tuples* to a function, you can not change the value of these as they are constant
literals
tuple should be formed using int , float or strings or using immutable objects (HASHABLE)
values (elements) that are changed INSIDE the function, are NOT changed OUTSIDE the function.
In [42]: def double(x):
x=x*2
return x

a = 4
print(double(a))
print(a)

8
4

In [43]: def double(x):

x=x*2
return x

a = 's'
print(double('s'))
print(a)

ss
s

15. Call By Reference (Inside Fn Vs Outside Fn)

passing mutable objects like list can be considered as call by reference because when their values (elements) are changed INSIDE
the function, then it will ALSO be reflected OUTSIDE the function.
In [44]: def double(l):
return l.append(100)

l = [1,23,45,7]
print(f'before: {l}')
double(l)
print(f'after: {l}')
print(l)

before: [1, 23, 45, 7]

after: [1, 23, 45, 7, 100]
[1, 23, 45, 7, 100]

16. Create Global Variable inside a function

When we create a variable inside a function, it is local by default.
When we define a variable outside of a function, it is global by default. You don't have to use global keyword. If we do not declare a
variable as a global inside function, We can only access the global variable but cannot modify it.
We use global keyword to create a global variable or modify a global variable inside a function.
Local variable takes over global inside the function if the global variable and local variable have the same name
Use of global keyword outside a function has no effect.
In [45]: def foo():
global x
x = 'global'
print("x inside:", x)
foo()
print("x outside:", x)

x inside: global
x outside: global

In [ ]: # #Example1:
# def foo﴾﴿:
# # print﴾x﴿ # UnboundLocalError: local variable 'x' referenced before assignment
# x = "local"
# print﴾f'x inside foo = {x}'﴿
# x = "global"
# foo﴾﴿
# print﴾f'x outside foo = {x}'﴿

# #Example 2:
# def foo﴾﴿:
# global x
# print﴾f'x inside foo = {x}'﴿
# x=x+1
# print﴾f'x inside foo = {x}'﴿
# x = 10

# print﴾f'x outside foo = {x}'﴿

# #Example 3:

27. lambda functions

writing functions without function name
also known as anonymous functions
using lambda function you are creating varaibles which are of type function
In [69]: x = 5
y = 10

add = lambda x,y: x+y

sub = lambda x,y: x­y
mul = lambda x,y: x*y
div = lambda x,y: x/y

print(add, sub, mul, div)

print(type(add))
result = add(10,20)
print(result)
print(sub(10,20))

size = [5, 4, 2, 3, 6]

print(type(zip(msg, size)))

<class 'zip'>

In [72]: print((zip(msg, size)))

<zip object at 0x7fd35a55c280>

In [73]: print(list(zip(msg, size))) #list of tuples from corresponding elements from 2 lists

[('hello', 5), ('mars', 4), ('we', 2), ('are', 3), ('coming', 6)]

In [74]: print(dict(zip(msg, size))) #2 lists ­­­>into a dictionary

{'hello': 5, 'mars': 4, 'we': 2, 'are': 3, 'coming': 6}

In [75]: print(tuple(zip(msg, size)))

(('hello', 5), ('mars', 4), ('we', 2), ('are', 3), ('coming', 6))

29. map()
map function takes 2 different types of parameters a) function name b) parameters of that function
b)parameters of that function in the below example is a list ‑‑> the value gets reflected as it interates over each element
In [83]: a = [10,20,30,40,50]
b = [1,2,3,4,5]

def sub(x,y):
return x ­ y
c = map(sub, a,b) #example ­ 1

Some Cool Tricks: (ROUTINES)

1. print(*L, sep=", ")
The only downside of this is ‑ you can only print it cannot be saved to a variable
to save it to a variable use the join method as below:
In [90]: L=[1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,­1,2.1,3.2,4.0001,­5.3]
M=["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"]

print(*L, sep=", ")

print(*M, sep=", ")

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, ­1, 2.1, 3.2, 4.0001, ­5.3

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec

In [91]: ##Example1:
words = ['this', 'is', 'false'] # a list of words
s = ''
for word in words:
s += word + ' ' # appends words to string variable s
print(s) # a string with multiple words

#All the above in 1 line of code as below:

print(*words, sep=' ')

this is false
this is false

In [92]: ##Example2:
words = ['this', 'sentence', 'is', 'false']
s = ' '.join(words)
print(s)

#All the above in 1 line of code as below:

print(*words, sep=' ')

this sentence is false

this sentence is false

2. Create Matrix from user input

In [93]: dim = 3 #can also be made user input
mat = []
for i in range(dim):
mat.append([]) #initializing an empty matrix
for num in input().split(): #space seperated input
mat[­1].append(int(num))
print(mat)

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

3. Unpack the user input to variables

string
list
tuple
range
In [94]: eq1 = [int(word)for word in input().split()]
x,y,z = eq1
print(eq1)
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

num1, num2, num3 = [1, 2, 3] # list
b1, b2 = (True, False) # tuple
x, y, z = range(3) # range
print(l1,l2,l3,l4)
print(num1,num2,num3)
print(b1,b2)
print(x,y,z)

g o o d
1 2 3
True False
0 1 2

4. List/Tuple with str elements to String

In [96]: l = ['1','2','76']
x = ''.join(l)
print(x)
print(*l,sep='')

1276
1276

In [97]: t = ('1','2','76')
x = ''.join(t)
print(x)

1276

In [98]: d = {'1': 123,'2':456,'76':890}

x = ''.join(d)
print(x)

1276

In [99]: d = {'1': 123,'2':456,'76':890}

x = ''.join(d.keys()) #same as above code d.items﴾﴿, d.values﴾﴿ throws error
print(x)

1276

5. Sort a String
In [100… l = ['c','d','a']
x = ''.join(sorted(l))
print(x)

acd

In [101… x = ''.join(sorted(input()))
print(x)

row = [int(num) for num in line.strip().split(',')]
In [102… f = open('test.txt')

print(lines)

1.1 On the Fly

Object attributes can be created ON THE FLY
In [107… class Foo:
def __init__(self):
print('Foo object created')
obj = Foo()
obj.x = 10
print(obj.x)

In [108… class Foo:

x=0
obj = Foo()
print(obj.x)
obj.x = obj.x + 10
print(obj.x, Foo.x)

0
10 0

Some important lessons from above 2 code blocks(1.1):

A class attribute's state can never be explicitly altered by an object. However, it can be changed by using methods.
A class attribute can be referenced by an object, provided there is no object attribute with the same name.
If the same variable name is shared by a class attribute and an object attribute, while trying to access attributes using an object,
Python gives precedence to the object attribute.

Selected Problems from the Course

Recommended
code method: Read the Question and without looking solution just keep writing the
The main goal(s) of these selected problems from the course are the following:
1. Fixing time and practising in one go will act as warm up
2. Warm up before an exam
3. Warm up of Python after short or long gap of non‑use of Python
4. To increase confidence/morale
5. To develop programming intuition
