Python Basics: Lists, Functions, and More

This document provides concise notes on key Python concepts including the differences between lists and tuples, various operators, recursion, factorial programs, file handling methods, the range() function, and the use of *args and **kwargs for function arguments. It highlights the mutability of lists versus the immutability of tuples, demonstrates recursive and iterative approaches to calculating factorials, and explains file reading techniques. Overall, it serves as a quick reference guide for fundamental Python programming elements.

Python Short Notes

1. List vs Tuple

List: Mutable, defined with [ ]. Example: [1, 2, 3]

Tuple: Immutable, defined with ( ). Example: (1, 2, 3)

Use list when data may change, tuple when fixed.

2. Operators

Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %, //, **

Comparison: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=

Logical: and, or, not

Assignment: =, +=, -=, *=, etc.

3. Recursion

Function that calls itself.

Example: def fact(n):

if n == 0: return 1

return n * fact(n-1)

4. Factorial Program

Recursive:

def fact(n):

if n <= 1: return 1

return n * fact(n-1)

Iterative:

def fact(n):

result = 1

for i in range(1, n+1): result *= i

return result

5. File Handling

read(): Read entire file

readline(): Read one line

readlines(): Read all lines as list

Example:

f = open('[Link]', 'r')

print([Link]())

[Link]()

6. range() Function

Used to generate sequences.

range(5) -> 0 to 4

range(1, 6) -> 1 to 5

range(1, 10, 2) -> 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

7. *args and **kwargs

*args: Multiple positional args

def fun(*args):

for a in args: print(a)

**kwargs: Multiple keyword args

def fun(**kwargs):

for k, v in [Link](): print(k, v)
