Python is an excellent language with which to learn programming There are many reasons for this but the simple explanation is that it’s easy to read and fast to write; it doesn’t take long to come up with working code that does something meaningful Python has a very human-friendly syntax which makes writing elegant code easy

How to format text in Python 3?

    Conclusion This tutorial went over several ways to format text in Python 3 through working with strings. By using techniques such as escape characters or raw strings, we are able to ensure that the strings of our program are rendered correctly on-screen so that the end user is able to easily read all of the output text.

What is Python 3?

    Python 3 is the most current version of the language and is considered to be the future of Python. This tutorial will guide you through installing Python 3 on your local macOS machine and setting up a programming environment via the command line. Prerequisites

Can I use Python 3 instead of Python 3?

    Note: Within the virtual environment, you can use the command python instead of python3, and pip instead of pip3 if you would prefer. If you use Python 3 on your machine outside of an environment, you’ll need to use the python3 and pip3 commands exclusively, as python and pip will call an earlier version of Python.

What is a conversion type in Python?

    The conversion type refers to the the single-character type code that Python uses. The codes that we’ll be using here are s for string, d to display decimal integers (10-base), and f which we’ll use to display ?oats with decimal places. You can read more about the Format-Speci?cation Mini-Language through Python 3’s of?cial documentation.

Getting Started

Running Python Interpreter

Python comes with an interactive interpreter. When you typepythonin your shell or command prompt, the

python interpreter becomes active with a>>>prompt and waits for your commands.$ python

Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Mar 17 2011, 07:02:35)

[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>>Now you can type any valid python expression at the prompt. python reads the typed expression, evaluates it and

prints the result.>>>42 42
>>>4+ 2

6Problem 1:Open a new Python interpreter and use it to find the value of2 + 3.

Running Python Scripts

Open your text editor, type the following text and save it ashello.py.print"hello, world!"And run this program by callingpython hello.py. Make sure you change to the directory where you saved

the file before doing it.anand@bodhi ~$ python hello.py hello, world! anand@bodhi ~$Text after#character in any line is considered as comment.# This is helloworld program # run this as: # python hello.py print"hello, world!"Problem 2:Create a python script to printhello, world!four times. Problem 3:Create a python script with the following text and see the output.5

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

1 2 If it doesn"t print anything, what changes can you make to the program to print the value?

Assignments

One of the building blocks of programming is associating a name to a value. This is called assignment. The

associated name is usually called avariable.>>>x= 4 >>>x*x

16In this examplexis a variable and it"s value is4.

If you try to use a name that is not associated with any value, python gives an error message.>>>foo

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "" , line 1 , in ?

NameError

: name "foo" is not defined >>>foo= 4 >>>foo

4If you re-assign a different value to an existing variable, the new value overwrites the old value.

>>>x= 4 >>>x 4 >>>x= " hello" >>>x "hello"It is possible to do multiple assignments at once. >>>a, b= 1 ,2 >>>a 1 >>>b 2 >>>a+ b

3Swapping values of 2 variables in python is very simple.

>>>a, b= 1 ,2 >>>a, b= b, a >>>a 2 >>>b

1When executing assignments, python evaluates the right hand side first and then assigns those values to the vari-

ables specified in the left hand side. Problem 4:What will be output of the following program.x= 4 y x 1 x 2 printx, yProblem 5:What will be the output of the following program.6 Chapter 2. Table of Contents

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

x, y 2 6 x, y y, x 2 printx, yProblem 6:What will be the output of the following program.a, b= 2 ,3 c, b a, c 1 printa, b, cNumbers

We already know how to work with numbers.>>>42

42
>>>4+ 2

6Python also supports decimal numbers.

>>>4.2 4.2 >>>4.2+ 2.3

6.5Python supports the following operators on numbers.

•+addition •-subtraction *multiplication •/division **exponent •%remainder

Let"s try them on integers.>>>7+ 2

9 >>>7- 2 5 >>>7*2 14 >>>7/ 2 3 >>>7**2 49
>>>7% 2

1If you notice, the result7 / 2is3not3.5. It is because the/operator when working on integers, produces

only an integer. Lets see what happens when we try it with decimal numbers:>>>7.0/ 2.0 3.5 >>>7.0/ 2 3.5 >>>7/ 2.0

3.52.1. Getting Started7

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

The operators can be combined.

>>>7+ 2 + 5 - 3 11 >>>2*3+ 4

10It is important to understand how these compound expressions are evaluated. The operators have precedence, a

kind of priority that determines which operator is applied first. Among the numerical operators, the precedence of

operators is as follows, from low precedence to high. When we compute2 + 3*4,3*4is computed first as the precedence of*is higher than+and then the result is added to 2.>>>2+ 3 *4

14We can use parenthesis to specify the explicit groups.

>>>(2+ 3 )*4

20All the operators except

**are left-associcate, that means that the application of the operators starts from left to right.1 + 2 + 3 *4 + 5 3 + 3 *4 + 5

3 + 12 + 5

15 + 5

20Strings

Strings what you use to represent text.

Strings are a sequence of characters, enclosed in single quotes or double quotes.>>>x= " hello" >>>y= " world" print x, y

hello worldThere is difference between single quotes and double quotes, they can used interchangebly.

Multi-line strings can be written using three single quotes or three double quotes.x= """ This is a multi-line string

written in three lines. printx y multi-line strings can be written using three single quote characters as well.

The string can contain

single quotes or double quotes in side it. printy8 Chapter 2. Table of Contents

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

Functions

Just like a value can be associated with a name, a piece of logic can also be associated with a name by defining a

function.>>>def square(x): return x*x >>>square(5)

25The body of the function is indented. Indentation is the Python"s way of grouping statements.

The...is the secondary prompt, which the Python interpreter uses to denote that it is expecting some more

input. The functions can be used in any expressions.>>>square(2)+ square( 3) 13 >>>square(square(3))

81Existing functions can be used in creating new functions.

def sum_of_squares(x, y): return square(x)+ square(y) >>>sum_of_squares(2,3 )

13Functions are just like other values, they can assigned, passed as arguments to other functions etc.

>>>f= square >>>f(4) 16 def fxy(f, x, y): return f(x)+ f(y) >>>fxy(square,2 ,3 )

13It is important to understand, the scope of the variables used in functions.

Lets look at an example.x= 0

y 0 defincr(x): y x 1 returny incr( 5

printx, yVariables assigned in a function, including the arguments are called the local variables to the function. The

variables defined in the top-level are called global variables. Changing the values ofxandyinside the functionincrwon"t effect the values of globalxandy. But, we can use the values of the global variables.pi= 3.14 defarea(r): returnpi*r*r2.1. Getting Started9

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

When Python sees use of a variable not defined locally, it tries to find a global variable with that name.

However, you have to explicitly declare a variable asglobalto modify it.numcalls= 0 defsquare(x): globalnumcalls numcalls numcalls 1

returnx*xProblem 7:How many multiplications are performed when each of the following lines of code is executed?printsquare(5)

printsquare(2*5)Problem 8:What will be the output of the following program?x= 1 deff(): returnx printx printf()Problem 9:What will be the output of the following program?x= 1 deff(): x 2 returnx printx printf() printxProblem 10:What will be the output of the following program?x= 1 deff(): y x x 2 returnx+ y printx printf() printxProblem 11:What will be the output of the following program?x= 2 deff(a): x a *a returnx y f( 3 printx, yFunctions can be called with keyword arguments. def difference(x, y): return x- y >>>difference(5,2 ) 3 >>>difference(x=5, y=2) 3 >>>difference(5, y=2) 3 >>>difference(y=2, x=5)

310 Chapter 2. Table of Contents

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

And some arguments can have default values.

def increment(x, amount=1): return x+ amount >>>increment(10) 11 >>>increment(10,5 ) 15 >>>increment(10, amount=2)

12There is another way of creating functions, using thelambdaoperator.>>>cube= lambdax: x**3

>>>fxy(cube,2 ,3 ) 35
>>>fxy(lambdax: x**3,2 ,3 )

35Notice that unlike function defination, lambda doesn"t need areturn. The body of thelambdais a single

expression.

Thelambdaoperator becomes handy when writing small functions to be passed as arguments etc. We"ll see

more of it as we get into solving more serious problems.

Built-in Functions

Python provides some useful built-in functions.>>>min(2,3 ) 2 >>>max(3,4 )

4The built-in functionlencomputes length of a string.>>>len("helloworld")

10The built-in functionintconverts string to ingeter and built-in functionstrconverts integers and other type of

objects to strings.>>>int("50") 50
>>>str(123)

"123"Problem 12:Write a functioncount_digitsto find number of digits in the given number.>>>count_digits(5)

1 >>>count_digits(12345)

5Methods

Methods are special kind of functions that work on an object. For example,upperis a method available on string objects.>>>x= " hello" print x.upper()

HELLO2.1. Getting Started11

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

Asalreadymentioned, methodsarealsofunctions. Theycanbeassignedtoothervariablescanbecalledseparately. >>>f= x .upper print f()

HELLOProblem 13:Write a functionistrcmpto compare two strings, ignoring the case.>>>istrcmp("python"," Python")

True >>>istrcmp("LaTeX"," Latex") True >>>istrcmp("a"," b")

FalseConditional Expressions

Python provides various operators for comparing values. The result of a comparison is a boolean value, either

TrueorFalse.>>>2< 3

False >>>2> 3 TrueHere is the list of available conditional operators. •==equal to •!=not equal to •greater than •<=less than or equal to •>=greater than or equal to It is even possible to combine these operators.>>>x= 5 >>>2< x < 10 True >>>2< 3 < 4 < 5 < 6 TrueThe conditional operators work even on strings - the ordering being the lexical order. >>>"python"> " perl" True >>>"python"> " java" TrueThere are few logical operators to combine boolean values. •a and bisTrueonly if bothaandbare True. •a or bis True if eitheraorbis True. •not ais True only ifais False.>>>TrueandTrue True >>>TrueandFalse False >>>2< 3 and5< 4 12 Chapter 2. Table of Contents

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

False >>>2< 3 or5< 4 TrueProblem 14:What will be output of the following program?print2< 3 and3> 1 print2< 3 or3> 1 print2< 3 ornot 3> 1 print2< 3 andnot 3> 1 Problem 15:What will be output of the following program?x= 4 y 5 p x y orx< z printpProblem 16:What will be output of the following program?True,False = False ,True printTrue,False print2< 3 The if statement Theifstatement is used to execute a piece of code only when a boolean expression is true.>>>x= 42 if x% 2 == 0 :print"even" even >>>In this example,print "even"is executed only whenx % 2 == 0isTrue.

The code associated withifcan be written as a separate indented block of code, which is often the case when

there is more than one statement to be executed.>>>if x% 2 == 0 : print "even" even

>>>Theifstatement can have optionalelseclause, which is executed when the boolean expression isFalse.>>>x= 3

if x% 2 == 0 : print "even" else : print "odd" odd >>>Theifstatement can have optionalelifclauses when there are more conditions to be checked. Theelif keyword is short forelse if, and is useful to avoid excessive indentation.>>>x= 42 if x< 10 : print "one digit number" elif x< 100 : print "two digit number" else :2.1. Getting Started13

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

print "big number" two digit number

>>>Problem 17:What happens when the following code is executed? Will it give any error? Explain the reasons.x= 2

ifx== 2 : printx else:

printyProblem 18:What happens the following code is executed? Will it give any error? Explain the reasons.x= 2

ifx== 2 : printx else: x + Lists

Lists are one of the great datastructures in Python. We are going to learn a little bit about lists now. Basic

knowledge of lists is requrired to be able to solve some problems that we want to solve in this chapter.

Here is a list of numbers.>>>x= [ 1,2 ,3 ]And here is a list of strings.

>>>x= [ "hello"," world"]List can be heterogeneous. Here is a list containings integers, strings and another list.

>>>x= [ 1,2 ," hello"," world", ["another"," list"]]The built-in functionlenworks for lists as well.>>>x= [ 1,2 ,3 ]

>>>len(x)

3The[]operator is used to access individual elements of a list.>>>x= [ 1,2 ,3 ]

>>>x[1] 2 >>>x[1]= 4 >>>x[1]

4The first element is indexed with0, second with1and so on.

We"ll learn more about lists in the next chapter.

Modules

Modules are libraries in Python. Python ships with many standard library modules. A module can be imported using theimportstatement. Lets look attimemodule for example:14 Chapter 2. Table of Contents

Python Practice Book, Release 2014-08-10

import time >>>time.asctime()

"Tue Sep 11 21:42:06 2012"Theasctimefunction from thetimemodule returns the current time of the system as a string.

Thesysmodule provides access to the list of arguments passed to the program, among the other things.

Thesys.argvvariable contains the list of arguments passed to the program. As a convention, the first element

of that list is the name of the program. Lets look at the following programecho.pythat prints the first argument passed to it.importsys printsys.argv[1]Lets try running it. $ python echo.py hello hello $ python echo.py hello world

helloThere are many more interesting modules in the standard library. We"ll learn more about them in the coming

chapters.

Problem 19:Write a programadd.pythat takes 2 numbers as command line arguments and prints its sum.$ python add.py 3 5

8 $ python add.py 2 9

11Working with Data

Lists We"ve already seen quick introduction to lists in the previous chapter.>>>[1,2 ,3 ,4 ] [1, 2, 3, 4] >>>["hello"," world"] ["hello", "world"] >>>[0,1.5 ," hello"] [0, 1.5, "hello"] >>>[0,1.5 ," hello"] [0, 1.5, "hello"]A List can contain another list as member. >>>a= [ 1,2 ] >>>b= [ 1.5,2 , a] >>>b [1.5, 2, [1, 2]]The built-in functionrangecan be used to create a list of integers.>>>range(4)quotesdbs_dbs14.pdfusesText_20
