Day 1 - What is Programming and Python?

What is Programming
Programming is a way for us to tell computers what to do.
Computer is a very dumb machine and it only does what we tell
it to do. Hence we learn programming and tell computers to do
what we are very slow at - computation. If I ask you to calculate
5+6, you will immediately say 11. How about 23453453 X
56456?
You will start searching for a calculator or jump to a new tab to
calculate the same. This 100 days of code series will help you
learn python from starting to the end. We will start from 0 and
by the time we end this course, I promise you will be a Job
ready Python developer!

What is Python?
Python is a dynamically typed, general purpose programming
language that supports an object-oriented programming
approach as well as a functional programming approach.
Python is an interpreted and a high-level programming
language.
It was created by Guido Van Rossum in 1989.
Features of Python
 Python is simple and easy to understand.
 It is Interpreted and platform-independent which makes
debugging very easy.
 Python is an open-source programming language.
 Python provides very big library support. Some of the
popular libraries include NumPy, Tensorflow, Selenium,
OpenCV, etc.
 It is possible to integrate other programming languages
within python.

What is Python used for


 Python is used in Data Visualization to create plots and
graphical representations.
 Python helps in Data Analytics to analyze and understand
raw data for insights and trends.
 It is used in AI and Machine Learning to simulate human
behavior and to learn from past data without hard coding.
 It is used to create web applications.
 It can be used to handle databases.
 It is used in business and accounting to perform complex
mathematical operations along with quantitative and
qualitative analysis.
Day 2 - My Python Success Story
Why I love python (And you will too...)
Welcome to Day 2 of 100 days of code. Let me start with a
story! Back in my college, I used to learn C and C++
programming in depth, used to score good marks. I created a
bunch of printing, conditionals and loop program. Now what? I
wanted to benefit from the same In my second year of college, I
started working (I mean actually working in the industry) with
the python programming language. I was not so good with it
but I used to write code for a singaporean client and actually
make good money without having to actually master Python.
Harry then got curious and started working on his Python skills
even more. I then got into web scraping and trust me I made
some good easy money on Fiverr just by writing some python
programs and charging on per webpage basis to my clients ( I
used to automate scraping)
I then learnt flask and got to work with Flask with a university
professor abroad. Long story short, Python made a huge impact
in my career.

What can Python do for you?


I want to show you some python programs I created which will
surely inspire you to create your own versions of the same as
we progress through this tutorial. Do not try to recreate them
just yet if you are a beginner and just started working on
Python. We will make progress gradually trust me.
Day 3 - Modules and pip in Python!
Module is like a code library which can be used to borrow code
written by somebody else in our python program. There are
two types of modules in python:
Built in Modules - These modules are ready to import and use
and ships with the python interpreter. there is no need to install
such modules explicitly.
External Modules - These modules are imported from a third
party file or can be installed using a package manager like pip or
conda. Since this code is written by someone else, we can install
different versions of a same module with time.

The pip command


It can be used as a package manager pip to install a python
module. Lets install a module called pandas using the following
command
pip install pandas

Using a module in Python (Usage)


We use the import syntax to import a module in Python. Here is
an example code:
import pandas
# Read and work with a file named 'words.csv'
df = pandas.read_csv('words.csv')
print(df) # This will display first few rows from the words.csv file
Similarly we can install other modules and look into their
documentations for usage instructions.
We will find ourselved doing this often in the later part of this
course

Day 4 - Our First Program


Today we will write our first ever python program from scratch.
It will consist of a bunch of print statements. print can be used
to print something on the console in python

Quick Quiz
Write a program to print a poem in Python. Choose the poem of
your choice and publish your repl
print("---Your poem here---")
Please make sure you attempt this. Might be easy for some of
you but please finish each and every task
