Python Basics - Comprehensive Notes

1. Variables and Print Statements

No need to declare variables before assigning them.


Use print() to display output. Python code blocks are determined by indentation.

Example:
x = 10
print(x) # Output: 10

2. Arithmetic Operations

* operator can multiply strings with numbers.


Example:
print('Spam ' * 4) # Output: Spam Spam Spam Spam

3. Type Conversions

int(3.33) -> 3
float(10) -> 10.0
int('100') + 1 -> 101

4. Jupyter Notebook Shortcuts

Esc + A -> Create a new cell above


Esc + B -> Create a new cell below

5. Power Operator

a ** b calculates power.
Example:
a=2
b=3
print(a ** b) # Output: 8

6. Swapping Lists

Unlike C++, lists can be swapped directly:


a, b = [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]
a, b = b, a
print(a, b) # Output: [4, 5, 6] [1, 2, 3]

7. Functions

Use help() to get function details.


Example:
help(round)

8. Boolean Values

Example:
def can_run_for_president(age):
return age >= 35
print(can_run_for_president(19)) # Output: False

9. Lists

Lists support slicing and built-in functions like len(), sorted(), sum().

10. Loops

For and while loops help iterate over sequences.


Example:
for x in ['a', 'b', 'c']:
print(x, end=' ') # Output: a b c

11. List Comprehensions

Example:
squares = [n**2 for n in range(10)]

12. Strings

Use escaping characters and string operations like split() and join().
Example:
datestr = '1956-01-31'
year, month, day = datestr.split('-')

13. Dictionaries

Example:
numbers = {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3}
print(numbers['one']) # Output: 1

14. External Libraries

Use math and numpy for advanced operations.


Example:
import math
print(math.pi) # Output: 3.141592653589793
