Python is a Programming Language

There are so many
Programming
Languages.
Why Python?

Python is simple and beautiful

Python is Free Open Source Software

Can Do
 Text Handling
 System Administration
 GUI programming
 Web Applications
 Database Apps
 Scientific Applications
 Games
 NLP
 ...

Python is...
A dynamic,open source programming
language with a focus on
simplicity and productivity. It has an
elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy
to write.

Quick and Easy
Intrepreted Scripting Language
Variable declarations are unnecessary
Variables are not typed
Syntax is simple and consistent
Memory management is automatic

Object Oriented Programming
Classes
Methods
Inheritance
Modules
etc.,

You have to follow the
Indentation
Correctly.
Otherwise,
Python will beat you !

No Need to Declare Variable Types !
Python Knows Everything !

value = 10
print(value)
value = 100.50
print(value)
value = “This is String”
print(value * 3)

name = input(“What is Your name?”)
print("Hello" ,name , "Welcome")

score=int(input(“ type a number”))
if score >= 5000 :
print(“You win!”)
elif score <= 0 :
print(“Game over.”)
else:
print(“Current score:”,score)
print(“Donen”)

for i in range(1, 5):
print (i)
print('The for loop is over')

number = 23
running = True
while running :
guess = int(input('Enter an integer : '))
if guess == number :
print('Congratulations, you guessed it.')
running = False
elif guess < number :
print('No, it is a little higher than that.')
else:
print('No, it is a little lower than that.')
print('Done')

List = Array
numbers = [ "zero", "one", "two", "three",
"FOUR" ]

List = Array
numbers = [ "zero", "one", "two", "three",
"FOUR" ]
numbers[0]
>>> zero
numbers[4] numbers[-1]
>>> FOUR >>> FOUR
numbers[-2]
>>> three

Multi Dimension List
numbers = [ ["zero", "one"],["two", "three",
"FOUR" ]]
numbers[0]
>>> ["zero", "one"]
numbers[0][0] numbers[-1][-1]
>>> zero >>> FOUR
len(numbers)
>>> 2

Sort List
primes = [ 11, 5, 7, 2, 13, 3 ]

Sort List
primes = [ 11, 5, 7, 2, 13, 3 ]
primes.sort()

Sort List
primes = [ 11, 5, 7, 2, 13, 3 ]
>>> primes.sort()
>>> print(primes)
[2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13]

Sort List
names = [ "Shrini", "Bala", "Suresh",
"Arul"]
names.sort()
print(names)
>>> ["Arul", "Bala","Shrini","Suresh"]
names.reverse()
print(names)
>>> ["Suresh","Shrini","Bala","Arul"]

Mixed List
names = [ "Shrini", 10, "Arul", 75.54]
names[1]+10
>>> 20
names[2].upper()
>>> ARUL

Append on List
numbers = [ 1,3,5,7]
numbers.append(9)
>>> [1,3,5,7,9]

names = ('Arul','Dhastha','Raj')
name.append('Selva')
Error : Can not modify the tuple
Tuple is immutable type

name = 'Arul'
name[0]
>>>'A'
myname = 'Arul' + 'alan'
>>> 'Arulalan'

name = 'This is python string'
name.split(' ')
>>>['This','is','python','string']
comma = 'Shrini,Arul,Suresh'
comma.split(',')
>>> ['Shrini','Arul','Suresh']
split

li = ['a','b','c','d']
s = '-'
new = s.join(li)
>>> a-b-c-d
new.split('-')
>>>['a','b','c','d']
join

'small'.upper()
>>>'SMALL'
'BIG'.lower()
>>> 'big'
'mIxEd'.swapcase()
>>>'MiXwD'
