Conditionals¶ Let us go through conditionals in Python. We typically use “if else” for conditionals. Let us perform a few tasks to understand how conditionals are developed.* Create a variable i with 5. Write a conditional to print whether i is even or odd. In [1]: i = 5 In [2]: # Regular if else if i …
Comments and Doc Strings¶ Let us understand how we can add doc strings and comments in Python. We use doc strings to provide instructions to use a function. Doc strings are provided immediately after function name. We can specify it as standard Python string. People typically enclose doc string with in 3 quotes (single or …
Operators in Python¶ As any programming language Python supports all types of Operations. There are several categories of operators. For now we will cover Arithmetic and Comparison Operators.* Arithmetic Operators Addition (+) Subtraction (-) Multiplication (*) Division (/) Mod (%) returns reminder + is also used for concatenation of strings. Comparison Operators – typically return …
Overview of Boolean Type¶ Let us get into the details related to Boolean. Boolean typically will have True or False. In Python it is defined as bool. You can assign boolean value by saying a = True or a = False. All comparison operators which we will be seeing as part of the next topic …
Data Types – Commonly used¶ Python has several data types which are commonly used. There are advanced data types such as Data Frames as part of modules such as pandas.* Numeric – int, float, complex Alpha Numeric – str Boolean – bool (it will be covered in another topic) Collections list set dict tuple type(VARIABLE_NAME) …
Variables and Objects¶ Let us get an overview about variables and objects in Python. In Python we need not define data types for variables or objects.* Data types are inherited based up on the values assigned to the variables. We can check the type of the variable or object using type function. Python is interpreter …
