PYTHON INTRODUCTION

 Python was created by Guido Rossum in 1989.


 Its very easy to learn.
 Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming
language with dynamic semantics; Supports both oop and
procedure oriented programming.
PYTHON INTRODUCTION

 Procedure oriented: written in a small part using functions/data


e.g. C language.
 Object-oriented: Written in small part using objects e.g. Java and
the concepts of encapsulation/classes/objects.
 In OOP such as Java, data is encapsulated in object. i.e. data is
hidden in the object (abstraction); More concern for data than
functions.
 Procedure oriented programming: step by step approach to
breaking down tasks into a collection of variables through a
sequence of instructions; Use functions to store code; less
concern for data.
WHY PYTHON

 Simple and Easy to Learn.


 Great popularity and high salary.
 Used greatly in Data Science.
 Used with Big Data.
 Computer Graphics in Python.
 Used in Web Development.
 Portable and Extensible.
WHY PYTHON: BIG DATA/AI

 Big data: huge sizes e.g petabytes; complex; highly dimensional;


real time data (requiring high speed processing).
 Sources of Big data: FB, IoT e.g censors, Satelites.
 These generate time each and every time.
 Big Data essentially means complex.
 Machine learning is used for predictions; Examples of AI – Sophia
(First to get citizenship of Qatar).
 Who uses Python: Netflix for video recommendation using
machine learning capabilities.
PYTHON ENVIRONMENT

 IDE-INTERGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT (IDE).


 We will use ANACONDA.
 Search for “Anaconda Navigator” on GOOGLE.
 We used Jupyter Notebook as a web-based environment for
python.
 Each Jupyter Notebook has its own namespace. i.e. folder and
subfolder.
BEFORE GETTING STARTED

 PYTHON ENVIRONMENT SETUP


 Install anaconda navigator for data science:

• https://www.anaconda.com/download/
LESSON 1:VARIABLES AND DATA
TYPES
 A variable is a small memory location.
 A variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it.
 Variables do not need to be declared with any particular type and
can even change type after they have been set.
 Example:
Rules for Python variables:

 A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore


character

 A variable name cannot start with a number

 A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters


and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )

 Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are three
different variables)
Data Types

 Python is loosely typed language. Therefore, no need to define the datatype of


variables ; No need to declare variables before using them .
Data Types

 N/B. Immutable: Cannot be changed e.g Tuples.

 For numeric variables, we may have the following data types:


STRINGS

 Strings are sequence of one-character strings

 Example: Str=“Welcome to Python Workshop” Or Str=‘Welcome to


Python Workshop’

 Multi-line strings can be denoted using triple quotes, “” or “””

 Example: Str=“””Welcome to Python Workshop”””

 N/B. Python is Case Sensitive!!!


STRING OPERATIONS

 Concatenation: “Jack” + “Son” =“Jackson”


 Repetition: “Miguna”*2=“MigunaMiguna”
 Slicing: Str=“Miguna”
Str[1:5]=“igun”
 Indexing: “Miguna”
Str[-1]+Str[1]=“ai”
 Find(): Str.find(“igun”)
 Replace(): Str.replace(‘Mi’,’J’)
 Strip(): Str.strip()
 Count: Str.count(‘i’)
