Python is...

A dynamic,open source
programming language with a focus on
simplicity and productivity. It has an
elegant syntax that is natural to
read and easy to write.

Quick and Easy

Intrepreted Scripting Language

Variable declarations are unnecessary

Variables are not typed

Syntax is simple and consistent

Memory management is automatic

Object Oriented Programming

      Classes
         Methods

         Inheritance

         Modules

         etc.,

print “Hello World”

You have to follow
the Indentation
Correctly.

Otherwise,

Python will beat
you !

Discipline

Makes

Good

Variables

colored_index_cards

No Need to Declare Variable Types !

Python Knows Everything !

value = 10

print value

value = 100.50

print value

value = “This is String”

print value * 3

name = raw_input(“What is Your name?”)

print "Hello" , name , "Welcome"

if score >= 5000 :
print “You win!”
elif score <= 0 :
print “Game over.”
else:
print “Current score:”,score

print “Donen”

for  i   in   range(1, 5):
        print    i
else:
        print    'The for loop is over'

number = 23

while True :
        guess = int(raw_input('Enter an integer : '))
        if  guess == number :
                print 'Congratulations, you guessed it.'
                running = False
        elif  guess < number :
                print 'No, it is a little higher than that.'
        else:
                print 'No, it is a little lower than that.'

print  'Done'

List = Array

numbers = [ "zero", "one", "two", "three",
"FOUR" ]

Sort List

primes = [ 11, 5, 7, 2, 13, 3 ]

Sort List

primes = [ 11, 5, 7, 2, 13, 3 ]

primes.sort()

Sort List

primes = [ 11, 5, 7, 2, 13, 3 ]

primes.sort()

>>> [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13]

Sort List

names = [ "Shrini", "Bala", "Suresh",
"Arul"]
names.sort()

>>> ["Arul", "Bala","Shrini","Suresh"]

names.reverse()

>>> ["Suresh","Shrini","Bala","Arul"]

Mixed List

names = [ "Shrini", 10, "Arul", 75.54]

names[1]+10
>>> 20

names[2].upper()

>>> ARUL

Append on List

Numbers = [ 1,3,5,7]

numbers.append(9)

>>> [1,3,5,7,9]

names = ('Arul','Dhastha','Raj')

name.append('Selva')

Error : Can not modify the tuple

Tuple is immutable type
