increment ⇔ x=x+3
decrement ⇔ x=x-2
Conversions
for lists, tuples, strings, bytes…
int("15") → 15
int("3f",16) → 63 can specify integer number base in 2nd
parameter
int(15.56) → 15 truncate decimal part
float("-11.24e8") → -1124000000.0
round(15.56,1)→ 15.6 rounding to 1 decimal (0 decimal → integer number)
bool(x) False for null x, empty container x , None or False x ; True for other x
str(x)→ "…" representation string of x for display (cf. formatting on the back)
chr(64)→'@' ord('@')→64 code ↔ char
repr(x)→ "…" literal representation string of x
bytes([72,9,64]) → b'Ht@'
list("abc") → ['a','b','c']
dict([(3,"three"),(1,"one")]) → {1:'one',3:'three'}
set(["one","two"]) → {'one','two'}
separator str and sequence of str → assembled str
':'.join(['toto','12','pswd']) → 'toto:12:pswd'
str splitted on whitespaces → list of str
"words with spaces".split() → ['words','with','spaces']
str splitted on separator str → list of str
"1,4,8,2".split(",") → ['1','4','8','2']
sequence of one type → list of another type (via list comprehension)
[int(x) for x in ('1','29','-3')] → [1,29,-3]

Go over sequence's values
Algo: count

Go over sequence's index
◽ modify item at index
◽ access items around index (before / after)

for idx in range(len(lst)):
val = lst[idx]
if val > 15:
lost.append(val)

☝bewareofinfiniteloops!
initializations before the loop
loop variable, assignment managed by for statement
values to formatformating directives
Integer Sequences
Files
s = input("Instructions:")
☝ input always returns a string, convert it to required type
(cf. boxed Conversions on the other side).
range(5)→ 0 1 2 3 4 range(2,12,3)→ 2 5 8 11
range(3,8)→ 3 4 5 6 7 range(20,5,-5)→ 20 15 10
range(len(seq))→ sequence of index of values in seq
☝ range provides an immutable sequence of int constructed as needed
range([start,] end [,step])
f = open("file.txt","w",encoding="utf8")
storing data on disk, and reading it back

for operations
f.write("coucou")
f.writelines(list of lines)
writing reading
f.read([n]) → next chars
if n not specified, read up to end !
f.readlines([n]) → list of next lines
f.readline() → next line
with open(…) as f:
for line in f :
# processing ofline
cf. modules os, os.path and pathlib
f.close() ☝ dont forget to close the file after use !
Very common: opening with a guarded block
(automatic closing) and reading loop on lines
of a text file:
Function Definition
def fct(x,y,z):
"""documentation"""
# statements block, res computation, etc.
return res
function name (identifier)
result value of the call, if no computed
result to return: return None
☝ parameters and all
variables of this block exist only in the block and during the function
call (think of a “black box”)
named parameters
Function Callr = fct(3,i+2,2*i)
☝ read empty string if end of file
len(c)→ items count
min(c) max(c) sum(c)
sorted(c)→ list sorted copy
val in c → boolean, membership operator in (absence not in)
enumerate(c)→ iterator on (index, value)
zip(c1,c2…)→ iterator on tuples containing ci
items at same index
all(c)→ True if all c items evaluated to true, else False
any(c)→ True if at least one item of c evaluated true, else False
☝ modify original list
lst.append(val) add item at end
lst.extend(seq) add sequence of items at end
lst.insert(idx,val) insert item at index
lst.remove(val) remove first item with value val
lst.pop([idx])→value remove & return item at index idx (default last)
lst.sort() lst.reverse() sort / reverse liste in place
"{:+2.3f}".format(45.72793)
→'+45.728'
"{1:>10s}".format(8,"toto")
→' toto'
"{x!r}".format(x="I'm")
→'"I'm"'
☝ start default 0, end not included in sequence, step signed, default 1
◽ Conversion : s (readable text) or r (literal representation)
< > ^ = 0 at start for filling with 0
integer: b binary, c char, d decimal (default), o octal, x or X hexa…
float: e or E exponential, f or F fixed point, g or G appropriate (default),
string: s … % percent
◽ Formatting :
fill char alignment sign mini width.precision~maxwidth type
+ - space
Operations on Dictionaries Operations on Sets
Operators:
| → union (vertical bar char)
& → intersection
- ^ → difference/symmetric diff.
< <= > >= → inclusion relations
Operators also exist as methods.
d.update(d2) update/add
associations
Note: For dictionaries and sets, these
operations use keys.
Specific to ordered sequences containers (lists, tuples, strings, bytes…)
reversed(c)→ inversed iterator c*5→ duplicate c+c2→ concatenate
c.index(val)→ position c.count(val)→ events count
Operations on Lists
d[key]=value
d[key]→ value
d.keys()
d.values()
d.items()
d.clear()
del d[key]
→iterable views on
keys/values/associations
Examples
d.pop(key[,default])→ value
d.popitem()→ (key,value)
d.get(key[,default])→ value
d.setdefault(key[,default])→value
s.update(s2) s.copy()
s.add(key) s.remove(key)
s.discard(key) s.clear()
s.pop()
Loop Control
Go simultaneously over sequence's index and values:
for idx,val in enumerate(lst):
☝goodhabit :don'tmodifyloopvariable
Advanced: def fct(x,y,z,*args,a=3,b=5,**kwargs):
*args variable positional arguments (→tuple), default values,
**kwargs variable named arguments (→dict)
one argument per
parameter
storage/use of
returned value
Algo:
f.flush() write cache
f.tell()→position
reading/writing progress sequentially in the file, modifiable with:
f.seek(position[,origin])
f.truncate([size]) resize
Advanced:
*sequence
**dict
s.startswith(prefix[,start[,end]])
s.endswith(suffix[,start[,end]]) s.strip([chars])
s.count(sub[,start[,end]]) s.partition(sep)→ (before,sep,after)
s.index(sub[,start[,end]]) s.find(sub[,start[,end]])
s.is…() tests on chars categories (ex. s.isalpha())
s.upper() s.lower() s.title() s.swapcase()
s.casefold() s.capitalize() s.center([width,fill])
s.ljust([width,fill]) s.rjust([width,fill]) s.zfill([width])
s.encode(encoding) s.split([sep]) s.join(seq)
?
yes
no
next
finish
…
Input
import copy
copy.copy(c)→ shallow copy of container
copy.deepcopy(c)→ deep copy of container
☝ this is the use of function
name with parentheses
which does the call
fct()
fct
fct
☝ text mode t by default (read/write str), possible binary
mode b (read/write bytes). Convert from/to required type !
break immediate exit
continue next iteration

# processing ofline
cf. modules os, os.path and pathlib
f.close() ☝ dont forget to close the file after use !
Very common: opening with a guarded block
(automatic closing) and reading loop on lines
of a text file:
Function Definition
def fct(x,y,z):
"""documentation"""
# statements block, res computation, etc.
return res
function name (identifier)
result value of the call, if no computed
result to return: return None
☝ parameters and all
variables of this block exist only in the block and during the function
call (think of a “black box”)
named parameters
Function Callr = fct(3,i+2,2*i)
☝ read empty string if end of file
len(c)→ items count
min(c) max(c) sum(c)
sorted(c)→ list sorted copy
val in c → boolean, membership operator in (absence not in)
enumerate(c)→ iterator on (index, value)
zip(c1,c2…)→ iterator on tuples containing ci
items at same index
all(c)→ True if all c items evaluated to true, else False
any(c)→ True if at least one item of c evaluated true, else False
☝ modify original list
lst.append(val) add item at end
lst.extend(seq) add sequence of items at end
lst.insert(idx,val) insert item at index
lst.remove(val) remove first item with value val
lst.pop([idx])→value remove & return item at index idx (default last)
lst.sort() lst.reverse() sort / reverse liste in place
"{:+2.3f}".format(45.72793)
→'+45.728'
"{1:>10s}".format(8,"toto")
→' toto'
"{x!r}".format(x="I'm")
→'"I'm"'
☝ start default 0, end not included in sequence, step signed, default 1
◽ Conversion : s (readable text) or r (literal representation)
< > ^ = 0 at start for filling with 0
integer: b binary, c char, d decimal (default), o octal, x or X hexa…
float: e or E exponential, f or F fixed point, g or G appropriate (default),
string: s … % percent
◽ Formatting :
fill char alignment sign mini width.precision~maxwidth type
+ - space
Operations on Dictionaries Operations on Sets
Operators:
| → union (vertical bar char)
& → intersection
- ^ → difference/symmetric diff.
< <= > >= → inclusion relations
Operators also exist as methods.
d.update(d2) update/add
associations
Note: For dictionaries and sets, these
operations use keys.
Specific to ordered sequences containers (lists, tuples, strings, bytes…)
reversed(c)→ inversed iterator c*5→ duplicate c+c2→ concatenate
c.index(val)→ position c.count(val)→ events count
Operations on Lists
d[key]=value
d[key]→ value
d.keys()
d.values()
d.items()
d.clear()
del d[key]
→iterable views on
keys/values/associations
Examples
d.pop(key[,default])→ value
d.popitem()→ (key,value)
d.get(key[,default])→ value
d.setdefault(key[,default])→value
s.update(s2) s.copy()
s.add(key) s.remove(key)
s.discard(key) s.clear()
s.pop()
Loop Control
Go simultaneously over sequence's index and values:
for idx,val in enumerate(lst):
☝goodhabit :don'tmodifyloopvariable
Advanced: def fct(x,y,z,*args,a=3,b=5,**kwargs):
*args variable positional arguments (→tuple), default values,
**kwargs variable named arguments (→dict)
one argument per
parameter
storage/use of
returned value
Algo:
f.flush() write cache
f.tell()→position
reading/writing progress sequentially in the file, modifiable with:
f.seek(position[,origin])
f.truncate([size]) resize
Advanced:
*sequence
**dict
s.startswith(prefix[,start[,end]])
s.endswith(suffix[,start[,end]]) s.strip([chars])
s.count(sub[,start[,end]]) s.partition(sep)→ (before,sep,after)
s.index(sub[,start[,end]]) s.find(sub[,start[,end]])
s.is…() tests on chars categories (ex. s.isalpha())
s.upper() s.lower() s.title() s.swapcase()
s.casefold() s.capitalize() s.center([width,fill])
s.ljust([width,fill]) s.rjust([width,fill]) s.zfill([width])
s.encode(encoding) s.split([sep]) s.join(seq)
?
yes
no
next
finish
…
Input
import copy
copy.copy(c)→ shallow copy of container
copy.deepcopy(c)→ deep copy of container
☝ this is the use of function
name with parentheses
which does the call
fct()
fct
fct
☝ text mode t by default (read/write str), possible binary
mode b (read/write bytes). Convert from/to required type !
break immediate exit
continue next iteration
☝ else block for normal
loop exit.
