 Computer programming languages are used to
communicate through instructions in to a
computer.
 They are based on syntactic and semantic rule.
 The computer can perform arithmetic
operations, Using some specialized languages
called the programming languages.
Types:
 Machine language or Low level language
 Assembly language
 High level language

Machine language:
It is a machine language here the
instruction written in binary code
The machine language consists of 0’s and
1’s.
It looks like: 10101000111 combination
0 & 1 are called as binary
Here all the operation performed by
using binary form.
Example : C , C++.

programs written in machine level
language are very difficult to read and modify.
Assembly languages uses short
descriptive word, known as mnemonic, to
represent the each instructions.
Example :
add - adding numbers
sub - subtracting numbers
add 2, 4, result

Assembly
source file
ex: add 2,
3, result
Machine code
file
0101101010
assembler

programs are written by using high level
language
It consist of normal English and easy to
learn and use.
This program run in different types of
machine.
The instruction in high level
programming language are called statement.
Example: C, C++, Java, Python.

Programming languages divided into following
category:
Interpreted programming language
Here most of the instruction executed
directly, without compiling the program.
Example: basic , python , pascal.
Functional programming language
It is defined as every calculation
performed using mathematical
evaluation(predefined function),
Example : clean , curry.
Compiled programming language
Here compiler translate source code into
machine code . Ex: c , c++ , java , visual basic.

Markup programming languages
It is a artificial language it refer how the
content will be displayed in webpage.
Example: HTML , XML.
Object oriented programming languages
it is based on the concept of object, which
may contain data , or attributes , methods ..
Example: c++ , python…

It was created by Guido Van Rossum ,
python is derived from many other language
including ABC , Modula 3, C , C++ , Algol-68 ,
Small talk , Unix.
It got name from “Monty Python Flying
Circus”.
‘python’ is a general purpose
interpreted , interactive , object oriented ,and
high level language,
Released in 1991, it support both 32 and
64 bit integers and word size.

Python is High level language:
It is look like a normal English. It is most
compatible with human language.
Python is interpreted:
Python is processed at run time by the
interpreter, you do not need to compile your
program before executing it.
Python support Object –Oriented,
Python is a beginners language.
Python is interactive :
you can type into python prompt and
interact with the interpreter directly to write
the program.

 python ’ is general purpose ,structured
programming language.
 Easy to learn.
 Easy to maintain.
 Free and open source.
 High level language.
 Extensive libraries.

The python interpreter is a program that reads
and execute python code ,
python programs stored in a file with an
extension of .py
To start the python interpreter by clicking
python icon, or by typing python(idle) on a command
line, then click file and new file.
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

An interpreter processes the
program line by line , alternatively
read the lines and perform
computation.
python Analyze and Executes
program statements at the same
time ,
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Interactive mode
In this , to type the program into
interactive mode , press enter then the
interpreter displays the result.
Here also The chevron (>>>) is a prompt
that indicates that the interpreter is ready to
enter the code.
The interpreter provides an interactive
environment to play with the language
Here the results of expressions are
printed on the same screen

writing a program that involves designing
the algorithm then convert into programming
code.
Multiplication of two numbers
A=10
B=20
C=A*B
Print(c)
Ex:2
Print(“enter into python world”)

Radius=5
Area=3.14*Radius*Radius
Print(“area of circle is”, Area)

using input() function to ask the user
input at run time.
Syntax:
Variable= eval(input(“statement”))
Description:
Variable – dummy variable name
eval() - convert the string into value
Input() - reading input from user

A=eval(input(“Enter a value”))
B=eval(input(“Enter b value”))
C=A/B
Print(“the result is”, c)
Output:
Enter a value 100
Enter b value 10
The result is 10

The character set are used to represent
information. Also the characters used to write
‘python’ program , It is basically two types.
1. Source character set
2. Execution character set
python

K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

 a - bell alert - beep sound
 t - ,horizontal tab
 n - new line
 v - vertical tab

Identifiers are names given to the
different program elements,
Example: - variables , functions , list…etc
Rules for naming identifiers:
1. It consist of letters and digits.
2. First character must be letter, or begin with _
3. _ underscore also consider as character.
4. Both upper/lower character accepted.
5. No special character allowed.
6. identifier cannot be keyword.
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Definition:
A variable is an identifier,
A variable is nothing but a reserved
memory location (or) place holder to store
values.
Rules for naming variables:
1. It consist of letters and digits.
2. First character must be letter, or begin with _
3. _ underscore also consider as character.
4. Both upper/lower character accepted.
5. No special character allowed.
6. Variables cannot be keyword
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Variable declaration:
syntax: v1,v2,v3…….etc
Example:
>>> a , b
Initializing variables:(assignment statement)
Initialization of variable can be done
using assignment operator (=) ,variable can be
initialized while declaration itself
Syntax: variable name =value
Example:
>>> radius=10
>>> cutoff=198.4
>>> c=‘a’
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Local variables:
A variable which is declared
inside a function is called as local
variable.
Global variables/external variables:
A variable which is declared
outside a function is called as
global variable.
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Expression
Expression is defined as combination of
variables or constants are interconnected with
operators.
Syntax:
variable=expression;
There are following expression are:
1.Arithmetic expression
It perform only arithmetic operation(+,-,/,%)
Example:
Num1=10
num2 = 20
sum=Num1+Num2
Print(sum)
Output: 30
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

2.Relational expression
it perform operation by using relational operator.
(<, > <= , >= , == ,!=)
Example:
A=10
B=20
If(A>B):
print(“a is big”)
Else:
print(“b is big”)
Output:
b is big
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

3.Logical expression
it perform the operation by using logical
operators
Example:
if((a>b)and (a>c)):
4.Conditional expression
Here also we use relational operator
to perform conditional operation.
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

In python we assign the various values
into multiple variable at same time
Example:
Var1,var2,….. Var n=exp1,exp2…….exp n
Example: swapping of two numbers
A=11 A,B=11,20
B=20
A,B=B,A
Print(“after swapping A and B value is”, A,B)

Data type Description Memory

K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Data type of an variable determines
what values it holds and also what
operation performed on it.
There are following data types are:
1.Integer (int)
2. Floating point type (float)
3. String type (string)
4.Booleans (bool type)
5. List (list [])
6.Tuple (tuple ())
7.None type (None)
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Integer:
An integer type (int ) represents signed
whole numbers . without decimal point.
They can be positive or negative numbers.
The range is -2 , 147 to +2 , 147
1. Normal integer numbers:
It is a signed whole numbers it may be
positive or negative
>>> a = 27
>>> b = -23
>>> c = 3435
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

2. Octal literals (base 8)
To indicate integer in octal numbers, you
can use the prefix of 0o or 0O(zero followed by
upper or lower case o)
>>> x = 0o56
>>> print(x)
46)
3. Hexadecimal literals( base 16):
To indicate integer in hexadecimal
numbers, you can use the prefix 0x or 0X(zero
followed by upper or lower case x)
>>> y = 0x9A
>>> print(y)
>>>154
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

4. Binary literals( base 2):
To indicate integer in binary
numbers,
you can use the prefix 0b or
0B(zero followed by upper or lower case
b)
>>> s = 0b1111
>>> print(s)
15
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Definition:
Floating point type represent numbers
with fractional part (or) real numbers with
decimal point.
They can be positive or negative
numbers, It will take 4 bytes of memory.
Example:
>>> a = 3.14
>>> b = -15.45
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Strings in python are identified as a
nearby set of characters represented in the
quotation marks.
python allows either pairs of single or
double quotes,
Ex: ‘Hi’ or “Hello” or ‘“Hi’’’
Slicing in string:
subsets of strings can be taken using the
slice operator( [] and [:] )
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Definition
Boolean is a data type, Having two values it is
denoted by True and False , It is defined by
“George Boole”
The most common way to produce a Boolean
value is with a relational operator
>>> print(2==2)
True
>>> print (2<3)
True
Print(2!=2)
False
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

• A list contains items separated by commas and
enclosed with square bracket [ ] .
• List holds heterogeneous values
• List and arrays are same in python.
• values stored in list is accessed by using its index
or its value by slicing.
Syntax
List_name=[ ]
Or
List_name= [ value1, value2 …. Value n]
Example 1:
>>> a = [ ] - empty list
>>> b = [“ram”, 31 , 54 , 12 , 47 ]
>>> print( b )
[“ram”, 31 , 54 , 12 , 47]
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

tuple contains items(elements) separated by
commas and enclosed with parenthesis().
After creation of tuple those values cannot be
modified and also cannot insert a new element with in
those tuple
In tuple also possible to assign more than one
values into more than one variable at a time.
Example:
>>> s=(“ram”, 54 , 656 , 50)
>>> print(s)
‘ram’ , 54 , 656 , 50
>>> print(s[0])
‘ram’
>>> a , b =(10 , 20)
>>> print (a,b)
>>> 10 20
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Arithmetic expression are evaluated by using
it’s precedence(PEMDAS).
When an expression contains more than one
operator , then the order of evaluation depends
on it’s operator precedence.
Parentheses having highest precedence , it is
executed first with in the expression.
Example:
5*(5+3) = 40
In this expression first execute parenthesis ,
then multiply with five and produce 40 as result.
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Next highest precedence is exponentiation
Next highest precedence is multiplication and
division ( * , / , % )
The lowest precedence is addition and
subtraction.( + , -)
Operator with the same precedence are
evaluated from left to right.
EXAMPLE:
Workout this expression and write
correct answer .
3 – 9*(3 + 7)+7 * 3 - 1
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

The value of variable is may change
during the execution of a program,
But the named constant represents
permanent data that never changes.
python does not have any special syntax
for creating named constant.
you can simply create a variable and
named as constant.
for difference we use upper character
letter to a constant variable
Example:
PI=3.14

Operators
An operator is symbol that specifies an
operation to be performed on the operands.
Types of operator:
1. Arithmetic operator. + , - , / , *, %
2. Relational Operator.
3. Logical Operator.
4. Assignment Operator.
5. Bitwise Operator.
6. Membership Operators
7. Identity Operators
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Arithmetic operators are used to
perform mathematical operation like
addition , subtraction , division ….etc
it require two operands
+ - addition operator
- - Subtraction operator
* - multiplication operator
/ - division operator
% - Modulo division operator
** - Exponent (x**y )
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Example program:
a = int ( input (“Enter the a value”))
b= int ( input ( “enter the b value”))
sum = (a + b)
print("Sum of two number is :", sum)
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Relational Operator:
These operators compare the values on
either sides of them and decide the relation
among them. They are also known as
Relational operators .
< - less than
<= - less than or equal to
>= -greater than or equal to
> -greater than
= = - is equal to
! = - not equal to
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Example:
a= int ( input ( “enter a value”))
b= int (input (“enter b value”))
if (a>b):
else:
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Python logical operator are used to
combine two or more conditions and perform
the logical operations using Logical AND,
Logical OR and Logically NOT.
Logical (and )
(a>c) and (a>b)
Logical ( or )
(a>b) or (a>d)
Logical NOT
29!=29
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Example:
a= int ( input ( “enter a value”))
b= int (input (“enter b value”))
c = int (input (“enter c value”))
if (a>b) and (a>c):
elif (b>c):
else:
print(“c is big”)
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Assignment operator used assign a
values of a variable.
Python allows you to combine
assignment and addition operation using an
augmented assignment operator
+= Addition assignment
-= Subtraction assignment
*= Multiplication assignment
/= Float division assignment
//= integer division assignment
**= Exponent assignment
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Syntax:
variable= expression or value;
Example:
a=10
b=20
c= a+b
print(“sum of two number is”,c)

Bitwise operator used to manipulate the
data at bit level, it operates on integers only.
it not applicable to float or real.
operator meaning
& Bitwise AND
| Bitwise OR
^ Bitwise XOR
<< Shift left
>> Shift right
~ One’s complement
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Bitwise AND (&)
Here operate with two operand bit by bit.
Truth table for & is:
x= 7= 0000 0111
y= 8 = 0000 1000
a&b
Output: 0000 0000
Bitwise OR ( |)
x= 7= 0000 0111
y= 8 = 0000 1000
a I b
Output: 0000 1111
Bitwise exclusive OR (^)
x= 7= 0000 0111
y= 8 = 0000 1000
& 0 1
0 0 0
1 0 1
| 0 1
0 0 1
1 1 1
^ 0 1
0 0 1
1 1 0

Python’s membership operators test for
membership in a sequence, such as strings,
lists, or tuples. There are two membership
operators as explained below
in - Evaluates to true if it finds a variable in the
specified sequence and false otherwise.
not in - Evaluates to true if it does not finds a
variable in the specified sequence and false
otherwise
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

>>> s1="welcome"
>>> for word in s1:
print(s1)
Output:
welcome
welcome
welcome
welcome
welcome
welcome
welcome
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Identity operators compare the memory
locations of two objects. There are two Identity
operators explained below:
is
is not
Example:
x=20 ; y=25
if ( x is not y):
print (“different identity”)
else:
print (“same identity”)
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Example 2:
x=15 ; y=20
if ( x is not y):
print (“different identity”)
else:
print (“same identity”)
K.ANGURAJU , AP/CSE

Type conversion is the process of convert
one data type into another type.
if an integer and float are involved in a
binary operation, python automatically
converts the integer to a float value. This is
called type conversion.
so 3*4.5 is converted as 3.0 * 4.5
sometimes to convert the float value as
integer we use int(value) function.

Example:
>>>Value=6.5
>>>Int(value)
6
>>>
You can also use round(value) function
to round a number to the nearest whole
number.
>>>value=5.6
>>>round(value)
6

A function is a group of statements that
perform a specific task.
Python having lot of predefined library
functions Ex: eval(), input(), print()…etc
These are build in function they are
always available in the python interpreter.
you don’t have to import any modules to
use the functions additionally.
Ex: abs, max, min, pow, and round,…etc

Simple python build in function
abs(x) - return absolute value for x
Ex: abs(-2) >>>2
max(x1,x2) - return largest among x1,x2
Ex:max(10,20) >>>20
min(x1,x2) - return smallest among x1,x2
Ex:min(10,23) >>>10
Pow(a,b) - return a**b value
Ex:pow(2,3) >>>8
Round(x) - return an integer nearest to
x
Ex:round(10.6) >>>11

Mathematical function
The python math module provides the
mathematical function. listed below
sin(x) -returns the sine of x
cos(x) - returns the cosine of x
tan(x) - returns the tangent of x
exp(x) -returns the exponential of x
Log(x) -returns the logarithm of x
degrees() - convert angle x from radians to
degree
radians() - converts the angle x from degrees
to radians.
Example: import math
Math.sin(x)

a string is a sequence of character.
Python treat strings and character same way.
String values must be enclosed in single
or double quotes.
Python does not have a data type for
character.
Example:
>>>name=“ramkumar”
>>>initial=“m”

AscII code
a character is stored in a computer as a
sequence of 0s and 1s.
There are different ways to encode a
character.
One popular standard is ASCII(American
Standard code for Information Interchange)
It provide 7 bit encoding scheme for
representing all uppercase and lowercase
letters, digits, …etc.
ASCII uses 0 through 127 to represent
character.

Unicode:
Python also support Unicode
Unicode is an encoding scheme for
representing international character.
ASCII is small subset of Unicode.
Unicode was established by the unicode
consortium to support interchange,
processing, and display the written text in the
word’s diverse language.

Python provides the ord(ch) function for returning
the ASCII code for the character ch
The chr(ch) function for returning the character
represented by the code.
Example:
>>> ch='a'
>>> ord(ch)
97
>>> chr(98)
'b'
>>> ord('A')
65
>>>

Python uses special notation, which
consist of a backslash (/) followed by a letter or
combination of digit.
Example:
n - linefeed
b -Backspace
t -Tab
-backslash

To print the multiple values or character
with in single line using end statement.
Example:
Print(“ram”, end=“ “)
Print(“kumar”, end=‘ ‘)
Print(“mani”, end=‘***’)
Output:
ram kumar ***

this function is used to convert a number into a
string.
Example:
>>>S=str(3.4)
>>>Print(s)
>>>‘3.4’
