PYTHON EXAM NOTES

1. History & Features of Python:

Python was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991. It is simple, readable, portable, open■source,
and supports multiple paradigms with a large standard library.

2. Python Variables:

Variables store data. Rules: start with letter/_ , no spaces, case■sensitive, no keywords.

Examples: age=20, name="Riya", price=99.5

3. Numeric Data Types:

int: 10, -5

float: 3.14, -9.8

complex: 3+4j, -2j

4. String Operations:

Concatenation (a+b), slicing (s[1:3]), comparison ("a"=="a").

5. Date & Time:

Use datetime module: [Link](), [Link](2024,5,20)

6. Lists vs Dictionaries:

List: ordered mutable collection → [10,20,30]

Dictionary: key■value pairs → {"name":"Amit", "age":20}

7. List Operations:

append(), insert(), remove(), slicing, len()

8. Operator Precedence:

(), **, *,/,%, +,-

Example: 10+5*2 = 20

9. Coding Blocks & Indentation:


Indentation defines scope. Example:

if x>10:

print("Big")

10. List Slicing:

nums[1:4], nums[::-1]

11. Tuples:

Immutable sequences.

t=(10,20); t[1]=5 → ERROR
