Basics
Basic syntax from the python programming language

Showing Output To User

The print function is used to display or print output as follows

print("Content that you wanna print on screen")

we can display the content present in object using prit function as follows:-

var1 = "Shruti"
print("Hi my name is: ",var1)

Taking Input From the User

The input function is used to take input as string or character from the user as follows:

var1 = input("Enter your name: ")

print("My name is: ", var1)

To take input in form of other datatypes we need to typecaste them as follows:-

To take input as an integer:-

var1=int(input("enter the integer value"))

print(var1)

To take input as an float:-

var1=float(input("enter the float value"))

print(var1)

range Function
range function returns a sequence of numbers, eg, numbers starting from 0 to n-1 for range(0, n)

range(int_start_value,int_stop_value,int_step_value)

Here the start value and step value are by default 1 if not mentioned by the programmer. but int_stop_value
is the compulsory parameter in range function
example-
Display all even numbers between 1 to 100

for i in range(0,101,2):

print(i)

Comments
Comments are used to make the code more understandable for programmers, and they are not executed by
compiler or interpreter.

Single line comment

# This is a single line comment

Multi-line comment

'''This is a
multi-line
comment'''

Escape Sequence
An escape sequence is a sequence of characters; it doesn't represent itself (but is translated into another
character) when used inside string literal or character. Some of the escape sequence characters are as
follows:

Newline
Newline Character

print("\n")

Backslash
It adds a backslash

print("\\")

Single Quote
It adds a single quotation mark

print("\'")

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 2/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

Tab
It gives a tab space

print("\t")

Backspace
It adds a backspace

print("\b")

Octal value
It represents the value of an octal number

print("\ooo")

Hex value
It represents the value of a hex number

print("\xhh")

Carriage Return
Carriage return or \r will just work as you have shifted your cursor to the beginning of the string or line.

pint("\r")

Strings
Python string is a sequence of characters, and each character can be individually accessed using its index.

String
You can create Strings by enclosing text in both forms of quotes - single quotes or double quotes.

variable_name = "String Data"

example

str="Shruti"

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 3/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry
print("string is ",str)

Indexing
The position of every character placed in the string starts from 0th position ans step by step it ends at length-1
position

Slicing
Slicing refers to obtaining a sub-string from the given string. The following code will include index 1, 2, 3, and 4
for the variable named var_name
Slicing of the string can be obtained by the following syntax-

string_var[int_start_value:int_stop_value:int_step_value]

var_name[1 : 5]

here start and step value are considered 0 and 1 respectively if not mentioned by the programmmer

isalnum() method
Returns True if all the characters in the string are alphanumeric, else False

string_variable.isalnum()

isalpha() method
Returns True if all the characters in the string are alphabets

string_variable.isalpha()

isdecimal() method
Returns True if all the characters in the string are decimals

string_variable.isdecimal()

isdigit() method
Returns True if all the characters in the string are digits

string_variable.isdigit()

islower() method
Returns True if all characters in the string are lower case

string_variable.islower()

isspace() method
Returns True if all characters in the string are whitespaces

string_variable.isspace()

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 4/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

isupper() method
Returns True if all characters in the string are upper case

string_variable.isupper()

lower() method
Converts a string into lower case equivalent

string_variable.lower()

upper() method
Converts a string into upper case equivalent

string_variable.upper()

strip() method
It removes leading and trailing spaces in the string

string_variable.strip()

List
A List in Python represents a list of comma-separated values of any data type between square brackets.

var_name = [element1, element2, ...]

These elements can be of different datatypes

Indexing
The position of every elements placed in the string starts from 0th position ans step by step it ends at length-1
position
List is ordered,indexed,mutable and most flexible and dynamic collection of elements in python.

Empty List
This method allows you to create an empty list

my_list = []

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 5/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

index method
Returns the index of the first element with the specified value

list.index(element)

append method
Adds an element at the end of the list

list.append(element)

extend method
Add the elements of a given list (or any iterable) to the end of the current list

list.extend(iterable)

insert method
Adds an element at the specified position

list.insert(position, element)

pop method
Removes the element at the specified position and returns it

list.pop(position)

remove method
The remove() method removes the first occurrence of a given item from the list

list.remove(element)

clear method
Removes all the elements from the list

list.clear()

count method
Returns the number of elements with the specified value

list.count(value)

reverse method
Reverses the order of the list

list.reverse()

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 6/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

sort method
Sorts the list

list.sort(reverse=True|False)

Tuples
Tuples are represented as comma-separated values of any data type within parentheses.

Tuple Creation

variable_name = (element1, element2, ...)

These elements can be of different datatypes

Indexing
The position of every elements placed in the string starts from 0th position ans step by step it ends at length-1
position
Tuples are ordered,indexing,immutable and most secured collection of elements
Lets talk about some of the tuple methods:

count method
It returns the number of times a specified value occurs in a tuple

tuple.count(value)

index method
It searches the tuple for a specified value and returns the position.

tuple.index(value)

Sets
A set is a collection of multiple values which is both unordered and unindexed. It is written in curly brackets.

Set Creation: Way 1

var_name = {element1, element2, ...}

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 7/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

Set Creation: Way 2

var_name = set([element1, element2, ...])

Set is unordered,immutable,non-indexed type of collection.Duplicate elements are not allowed in sets.

Set Methods
Lets talk about some of the methods of sets:

add() method
Adds an element to a set

set.add(element)

clear() method
Remove all elements from a set

set.clear()

discard() method
Removes the specified item from the set

set.discard(value)

intersection() method

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 8/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry
Returns the union of two or more sets

set.union(set1, set2...)

Dictionaries
The dictionary is an unordered set of comma-separated key:value pairs, within {}, with the requirement that
within a dictionary, no two keys can be the same.

Dictionary

<dictionary-name> = {<key>: value, <key>: value ...}

Dictionary is ordered and mutable collection of elements.Dictionary allows duplicate values but not duplicate
keys.

Empty Dictionary
By putting two curly braces, you can create a blank dictionary

mydict={}

Adding Element to a dictionary

By this method, one can add new elements to the dictionary

Updating Element in a dictionary

If a specified key already exists, then its value will get updated

Deleting an element from a dictionary

del keyword is used to delete a specified key:value pair from the dictionary as follows:

del <dictionary>[<key>]

Dictionary Functions & Methods

Below are some of the methods of dictionaries

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 9/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

len() method
It returns the length of the dictionary, i.e., the count of elements (key: value pairs) in the dictionary

len(dictionary)

clear() method
Removes all the elements from the dictionary

dictionary.clear()

get() method
Returns the value of the specified key

dictionary.get(keyname)

items() method
Returns a list containing a tuple for each key-value pair

dictionary.items()

dictionary.keys()

values() method
Returns a list of all the values in the dictionary

dictionary.values()

update() method
Updates the dictionary with the specified key-value pairs

dictionary.update(iterable)

Indentation
In Python, indentation means the code is written with some spaces or tabs into many different blocks of
code to indent it so that the interpreter can easily execute the Python code.
Indentation is applied on conditional statements and loop control statements. Indent specifies the block of
code that is to be executed depending on the conditions.

Conditional Statements
The if, elif and else statements are the conditional statements in Python, and these implement selection
constructs (decision constructs).

Loops in Python
A loop or iteration statement repeatedly executes a statement, known as the loop body, until the controlling
expression is false (0).

For Loop
The for loop of Python is designed to process the items of any sequence, such as a list or a string, one by one.

for <variable> in <sequence>:

statements_to_repeat

example-

for i in range(1,101,1):
print(i)

While Loop
A while loop is a conditional loop that will repeat the instructions within itself as long as a conditional remains
true.

while <logical-expression>:
loop-body

example-

i=1
while(i<=100):
print(i)
i=i+1

Break Statement
The break statement enables a program to skip over a part of the code. A break statement terminates the very
loop it lies within.

for <var> in <sequence>:

statement1
if <condition>:
break
statement2
statement_after_loop

example-

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 12/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

for i in range(1,101,1):
print(i ,end=" ")
if(i==50):
break
else:
print("Mississippi")
print("Thank you")

Continue Statement
The continue statement skips the rest of the loop statements and causes the next iteration to occur.

for <var> in <sequence>:

statement1
if <condition> :
continue
statement2
statement3
statement4

example-

for i in [2,3,4,6,8,0]:
if (i%2!=0):
continue
print(i)

Functions
A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. You can pass parameters into a function. It helps us
to make our code more organized and manageable.

Function Definition

def my_function():
#statements

def keyword is used before defining the function.

Function Call

my_function()

Whenever we need that block of code in our program simply call that function name whenever neeeded. If
parameters are passed during defing the function we have to pass the parameters while calling that function
example-

def add(): #function defination

a=10
b=20
print(a+b)
add() #function call

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 13/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

Return statement in Python function

The function return statement return the specified value or data item to the caller.

return [value/expression]

Arguments in python function

Arguments are the values passed inside the parenthesis of the function while defining as well as while calling.

def my_function(arg1,arg2,arg3....argn):
#statements
my_function(arg1,arg2,arg3....argn)

example-

def add(a,b):
return a+b
x=add(7,8)
print(x)

File Handling
File handling refers to reading or writing data from files. Python provides some functions that allow us to
manipulate data in the files.

open() function

var_name = open("file name", " mode")

modes-
1. r - to read the content from file
2. w - to write the content into file
3. a - to append the existing content into file
4. r+: To read and write data into the file. The previous data in the file will be overridden.
5. w+: To write and read data. It will override existing data.
6. a+: To append and read data from the file. It won’t override existing data.

close() function

var_name.close()

read () function
The read functions contains different methods, read(),readline() and readlines()

read() #return one big string

It returns a list of lines

readlines() #returns a list

It returns one line at a time

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 14/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

readline #returns one line at a time

write function
This function writes a sequence of strings to the file.

write() #Used to write a fixed sequence of characters to a file

It is used to write a list of strings

writelines()

Exception Handling
An exception is an unusual condition that results in an interruption in the flow of a program.

try and except

A basic try-catch block in python. When the try block throws an error, the control goes to the except block.

try:
[Statement body block]
raise Exception()
except Exceptionname:
[Error processing block]

else
The else block is executed if the try block have not raise any exception and code had been running successfully

try:
#statements
except:
#statements
else:
#statements

finally
Finally block will be executed even if try block of code has been running successsfully or except block of code is
been executed. finally block of code will be executed compulsory

Object Oriented Programming (OOPS)

It is a programming approach that primarily focuses on using objects and classes. The objects can be any
real-world entities.

class
The syntax for writing a class in python

class class_name:
pass #statements

Creating an object

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 15/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry
Instantiating an object can be done as follows:

self parameter
The self parameter is the first parameter of any function present in the class. It can be of different name but
this parameter is must while defining any function into class as it is used to access other data members of the
class

class with a constructor

Constructor is the special function of the class which is used to initialize the objects. The syntax for writing a
class with the constructor in python

class CodeWithHarry:

# Default constructor
def __init__(self):
self.name = "CodeWithHarry"

# A method for printing data members

def print_me(self):
print(self.name)

Inheritance in python
By using inheritance, we can create a class which uses all the properties and behavior of another class. The
new class is known as a derived class or child class, and the one whose properties are acquired is known as a
base class or parent class.
It provides the re-usability of the code.

class Base_class:
pass
class derived_class(Base_class):
pass

Types of inheritance-
Single inheritance
Multiple inheritance
Multilevel inheritance
Hierarchical inheritance

filter function
The filter function allows you to process an iterable and extract those items that satisfy a given condition

filter(function, iterable)

issubclass function
Used to find whether a class is a subclass of a given class or not as follows

issubclass(obj, classinfo) # returns true if obj is a subclass of classinfo

8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry

Iterators and Generators

Here are some of the advanced topics of the Python programming language like iterators and generators

Iterator
Used to create an iterator over an iterable

iter_list = iter(['Harry', 'Aakash', 'Rohan'])

print(next(iter_list))
print(next(iter_list))
print(next(iter_list))

Generator
Used to generate values on the fly

# A simple generator function

def my_gen():
n = 1
print('This is printed first')
# Generator function contains yield statements
yield n
n += 1
print('This is printed second')
yield n
n += 1
print('This is printed at last')
yield n

Decorators
Decorators are used to modifying the behavior of a function or a class. They are usually called before the
definition of a function you want to decorate.

property Decorator (getter)

@property
def name(self):
return self.__name

setter Decorator
It is used to set the property 'name'

@name.setter
def name(self, value):
self.__name=value

deleter Decorator
It is used to delete the property 'name'

@name.deleter #property-name.deleter decorator

def name(self, value):

https://www.codewithharry.com/blogpost/python-cheatsheet/ 17/22
8/16/24, 2:38 PM Python CheatSheet | CodeWithHarry
print('Deleting..')
del self.__name
