UNIT – 1: COMPUTATIONAL THINKING AND PROGRAMMING – 2

1. FUNCTIONS IN PYTHON
A function is a block of code that performs a specific task.

Types of Functions:
• Built-in Functions – print(), len(), type()
• Functions defined in module – [Link]()
• User defined functions

Syntax:
def function_name(parameters):
statements
return value

Types of Parameters:
• Positional Parameters
• Default Parameters

Scope of Variables:
• Local Variable
• Global Variable

2. EXCEPTION HANDLING
Exception is an error that occurs during execution.

Syntax:
try:
statement
except:
statement
finally:
statement

3. FILE HANDLING
Types of Files:
• Text File
• Binary File
• CSV File

Text File Operations:


• Open file
• Read / Write
• Append
• Close file

File Modes:
r, w, a, r+, w+, a+

Reading Methods:
read(), readline(), readlines()

seek() – moves cursor


tell() – returns cursor position

4. BINARY FILE
Binary files store data in binary format.

Uses pickle module:


dump() – write
load() – read

File Modes:
rb, wb, ab, rb+, wb+, ab+

5. CSV FILE
CSV – Comma Separated Values

Write:
[Link]()
writerow()
writerows()

Read:
[Link]()

6. STACK (DATA STRUCTURE)


Stack follows LIFO principle.

Operations:
• Push
• Pop
• Peek
• isEmpty()

Implementation using list:
