Programming

1.3.1. Variables
Points to know
Python is dynamically typed, which means that you don't have to declare
what type each variable is. In Python, variables are a storage placeholder for
texts and numbers. It must have a name so that you are able to find it again.
The variable is always assigned with the equal sign, followed by the value of
the variable.
Syntax
6
x=10
str='abcd'
arr_t=[3,8,1]
1.3.2. Keywords
Point to know
some Keywords are reserve words in python and we can use for variable
declaration.
Some of the keyworkds in python are
1.3.3. Operators
1.3.4. Decisions
1.3.5. Loops
1.3.6. Numbers
1.3.7. Characters
1.3.8. Arrays

1.3.9. Strings
1.3.10. Functions
1.3.11. File I/O
1.4. STEP 4: Let's Understand Programming Paradigms
1.4.1. Procedural Programming
Procedural Programming in which a program is represented as a sequence of
instructions that tell the computer what it should do explicitly. Procedures and/
or functions are used to provide structure to the program; with control
structures
such as if statements and loop constructs to manage which steps are executed
and how many times. Languages typifying this approach include C and Pascal.
1.4.2. Declarative Programming
8
Declarative Programming languages, such as Prolog, that allow developers to
describe how a problem should be solved, with the language/environment
determining how the solution should be implemented. SQL (a database query
language) is one of the most common declarative languages that you are likely
to encounter
1.4.3. Object Oriented Programming
Object Oriented Programming approaches that represent a system in terms of
the objects that form that system. Each object can hold its own data (also
known
as state) as well as define behaviour that defines what the object can do.
A computer program is formed from a set of these objects co-operating
9
together.
Languages such as Java and C# typify the object oriented approach.
1.4.4. Functional Programming
Functional Programming languages decompose a problem into a set of
functions. Each function is independent of any external state, operating only on
the inputs they received to generate their outputs. The programming language
Haskell is an example of a functional programming language
1.4.5. Hybrid Programming
Some programming languages are considered to be hybrid languages; that is
they allow developers to utilise a combination of difference approaches within
the
same program. Python is an example of a hybrid programming language as it
10
allows
you to write very procedural code, to use objects in an object oriented manner
and
to write functional programs.
