Python Programming: Detailed Notes with Short Code Examples

1. Origins and History of Python

- Creator: Guido van Rossum, 1989 (Netherlands)

- First Released: Python 0.9.0 in 1991.

- Named after: "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (comedy group).

- Goal: Easy readability, clean syntax, support for multiple programming paradigms.

2. Structure of a Python Program

- Python code flows from top to bottom.

- Organized using functions, conditionals, loops, and indentation.

Example:

def greet(name):

print("Hello", name)

greet("Salman")

3. Interpreter Shell

- Known as REPL: Read-Eval-Print Loop.

- Executes Python code line by line.

Example:

>>> 5 + 3

4. Indentation

- Used to define blocks of code.

Example:

if 5 > 2:

print("5 is greater than 2")

5. Comments

- Single-line: #

- Multi-line: ''' or """

Example:

# This is a comment

""" Multi-line comment """


6. Identifiers and Keywords

- Identifiers: variable/function names. Must start with a letter or _.

- Keywords: reserved words like if, else, for, while, True, False.

Example:

name = "Alice" # valid

# 2name = "Bob" # invalid

7. Literals

- Fixed values like: 10, "Hello", True, None.

Example:

x = 10

name = "Ali"

flag = True

8. Basic Operators

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

Relational: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=

Logical: and, or, not

Assignment: =, +=, -=, *=, /=

Bitwise: &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>

Example:

a, b = 5, 2

print(a + b)

9. Entering Expressions into the Interactive Shell

- Can test simple expressions.

Example:

>>> 10 + 20

30

>>> "Hi" * 3

'HiHiHi'

10. Data Types

Integer: x = 10

Float: pi = 3.14
String: text = "Python"

Use type() to check.

11. String Concatenation and Replication

Example:

name = "Sal"

print(name + "man") # Salman

print(name * 3) # SalSalSal

12. Storing Values in Variables

- No need to declare type.

Example:

age = 20

name = "Sara"

price = 99.99

13. Creating Python Programs: Input and Output

Input:

name = input("Enter name: ")

Output:

print("Hello", name)

14. Control Statements

Branching:

if x > 0:

print("Positive")

Looping:

for i in range(3):

print(i)

Range:

range(2, 10, 2)

Exit:

import sys; [Link]()

Break:

for i in range(5):
if i == 3: break

Continue:

for i in range(5):

if i == 2: continue

Pass:

for i in range(5): pass
