 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 PYTHON

Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic

programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax
allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in
languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear
programs on both a small and large scale.

Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and

functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and
automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive standard library. Python
interpreters are available for installation on many operating systems, allowing Python code
execution on a wide variety of systems.

1.2 SCRIPTING LANGUAGE

A scripting or script language is a programming language that supports scripts,

programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that
could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator.

Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually
the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more
complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software
applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS),
embedded systems, as well as numerous games.

A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular

environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension
language. Scripting languages are also sometimes referred to as very high-level
programming languages, as they operate at a high level of abstraction, oras control language.

1
1.3 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the

concept of "objects", which may contain data, in the form of fields, often known as attributes;
and code, in the form of procedures, often known as methods. A distinguishing feature of
objects is that an object's procedures can access and often modify the data fields of the object
withwhich they are associated (objects have a notion of "this" or "self").

In OO programming, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects

that interact with one another.

1.4 HISTORY

Python was conceived in the late 1980s, and its implementation was started in
December1989 by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC
language (itself inspired by SETL) capable of exception handling and interfacing with the
Amoeba operating system. Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and his continuing
central role in deciding the direction of Python is reflected in the title given to him by the
Python community, benevolent dictator for life (BDFL).

“Python is an experiment in how much freedom programmers need. Too much freedom and

nobody can read another's code; too little and expressiveness is endangered.”
- Guido van Rossum

2
1.5 BEHIND THE SCENE OF PYTHON

About the origin of Python, Van Rossum wrote in 1996:

Over six years ago, in December 1989, I was looking for a "hobby" programming
project that would keep me occupied during the week around Christmas. My office ... would
be closed, but I had a home Computer, and not much else on my hands. I decided to write an
interpreter for the new scripting language I had been thinking about lately: a descendant of
ABC that would appeal to Unix/C hackers. I chose Python as a working title for the project,
being in a slightly irreverent mood (and a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus).

 CHAPTER 2

DOWNLOADING & INSTALLING PYTHON

2.1 DOWNLOADING PYTHON

If you don‟t already have a copy of Python installed on your computer, you will need
toopenup your Internet browser and go tothePython download page (http://www.python.org/download/).

Now that you are on the download page, select which of the software builds you
would like to download. For the purposes of this article we will use the most up to date
version available (Python 3.4.1).

Once you have clicked on that, you will be taken to a page with a description of all
the new updates and features of 3.4.1, however, you can always read that while the download
is in process. Scroll to the bottom of the page till you find the “Download” section and click
on the

link that says “download page.”

4
 Now you will scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and find the “Windows x86
MSI installer.” If you want to download the 86-64 bit MSI, feel free to do so. We believe that
even if you have a 64-bit operating system installed on your computer, the 86-bit MSI is
preferable. We say this because it will still run well and sometimes, with the 64- bit
architectures, some of the compiled binaries and

Python libraries don‟t work well.

2.2 INSTALLING PYTHON

Once you have downloaded the Python MSI, simply navigate to the download
location on your computer, double clicking the file and pressing Run when the dialog box
pops up.

5
 If you are the only person who uses your computer, simply leave the “Install for all
users” option selected. If you have multiple accounts on your PC and don‟t want toinstall it
across all accounts, select the “Install just for me” option then press “Next.”

you want to change the install location, feel free to do so; however, it is best to leave
it as is and simply select next, Otherwise.Scroll down in the window and find the “Add
Python.exe to Path” and click on the small red “x.” Choose the “Will be installed on local
hard drive” option then press “Next.”

6
Now that you have completed the installation process, click on “Finish.

2.3 SETUP THE PATH VARIABLE

Begin by opening the start menu and typing in “environment” and select the option
called “Edit the system environment variables.”When the “System Properties” window
appears, click on “Environment Variables…”

7
 Once you have the “Environment Variables” window open, direct your focus to the

bottom half. You will notice that it controls all the “System Variables” rather than just this
associatedwith your user. Click on “New…” to create a new variable forPython.

Simply enter a name for your Path and the code shown below. For the purposes of this

example, we have installed Python 2.7.3, so we will call the path: “Python path.” The string

that you will need to enter is:“C:\Python27\; C:\Python27\Scripts;”

8
2.4 RUNNING THE PYTHON IDE

Now that we have successfully completed the installation process and added
our“Environment Variable,” you are ready to create your first basic Python script. Let‟s begin
by opening Python‟s GUI by pressing “Start” and typing “Python” and selectingthe “IDLE
(Python GUI).”

Once the GUI is open, we will begin by using the simplest directive possible. This is
the “print” directive which simply prints whatever you tell it to, into a new line. Start by
typing a printdirective like the one shown in the image below or copy and pastethis text then
press“Enter”:print (“Congratulations on executing your first print directive!”)

9
 Python Code Execution. Python‟s traditional runtime execution model: source code
you type is translated to byte code, which is then run by the Python Virtual Machine. Your
code is automatically compiled,but then it is interpreted.

Fig: 2.4 Running The Python Ide

Source code extension is .pyByte code extension is .pyc (compiled python code)

 CHAPTER 3

DATA TYPES & OPERATOR

3.1 DATA TYPE

(this is called dynamic typing). Data types determine whether an object can do
something, or whether it just would not make sense. Other programming languages often
determine whether an operation makes sense for an object by making sure the object can
never be stored somewhere where the operation will be performed on the object (this type
system is called static typing). Python does not do that. Instead it stores the type of an object
with the object, and checks when the operation is performed whether that operation makes
sense for that object

Python has many native data types. Here are the important ones:

Booleans are either true or false.

Numbers can be integers (1 and 2), floats (1.1 and 1.2), fractions (1/2 and 2/3), or even
complex numbers.

Strings are sequences of Unicode characters, e.g. an HTML document.

Bytes and byte arrays, e.g. a JPEG image file.

Lists are ordered sequences of values.

Tuples are ordered, immutable sequences of values.

Sets are unordered bags of values.

11
3.2 VARIABLE

Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that
when you create a variable you reserve some space in memory.

Based on the data type of a variable, the interpreter allocates memory and decides
what can be stored in the reserved memory. Therefore, by assigning different data types to
variables, you can store integers, decimals or characters in these variables.

# An integer
Ex: counter = 100

assignment miles = 1000.0 # A floating

point name = "John"

# A string

3.3 STRING
In programming terms, we usually call text a string. When you think of a string as a
collection of letters, the term makes sense.All the letters, numbers, and symbols in this book
could be a string. For that matter, your name could be a string, and so could your address.

Creating Strings

In Python, we create a string by putting quotes around text. For example, we could
take our otherwise useless

Fig: 3.3 String

12
1 “hello”+”world” “helloworld” Concatenation

•2 "hello"*3 "hellohellohello" # repetition

•3 "hello"[0] "h" # indexing

•4 "hello"[-1] "o" # (from end)

•5 "hello"[1:4] "ell" # slicing

•6 len("hello") 5 # size

•7 "hello" < "jello" 1 # comparison

•8 "e" in "hello" 1 # search

 CHAPTER 4

TUPLE & LIST

4.1 TUPLE

A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects. Tuples are sequences, just like
lists. The differences between tuples and lists are, the tuples cannot be changed unlike lists
and tuples use parentheses.

4.1.1 Accessing Values in Tuples:

To access values in tuple, use the square brackets for slicing along with the index or
indices to obtain value available at that index. For example − tup1 = ('physics','chemistry',
1997, 2000); tup2 = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ); print "tup1[0]: ", tup1[0] print"tup2[1:5]: ",
tup2[1:5]When the above code is executed, it produces the following result − tup1[0]:physics
tup2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]

4.1.2 Built in operation

Tuples respond to the + and * operators much like strings; they mean concatenation
and repetition here too, except that the result is a new tuple, not a string. In fact, tuples
respond to all of the general sequence operations we used on strings in the prior chapter −

PYTHON RESULTS DESCRIPTION

EXPRESSION

len((1, 2, 3)) 3 Length

(1, 2, 3) + (4, 5, 6) (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) Concatenation

('Hi!',) * 4 ('Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!', 'Hi!') Repetition

3 in (1, 2, 3) True Membership

for x in (1, 2, 3): print x, 123 Iteration

15
4.1.3 BUILT-IN TUPLE FUNCTIONS

Python includes the following tuple functions −

SN FUNCTION WITH DESCRIPTION

1 cmp(tuple1, tuple2)Compares elements of both tuples.

2 len(tuple)Gives the total length of the tuple.

3 max(tuple)Returns item from the tuple with max value.

4 min(tuple)Returns item from the tuple with min value.

5 tuple(seq)Converts a list into tuple.

16
4.2 LISTS

The list is a most versatile datatype available in Python which can be

written as a list of comma- separated values (items) between square brackets.
Important thing about a list is that items in a list need not be of the same type.

Creating a list is as simple as putting different comma-separated values

between square brackets. For example − list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997,
2000]; list2 = [1,2, 3, 4, 5 ]; list3 = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];Similar to string indices,
list indices start at 0, and lists can be sliced, concatenated and so on.

4.2.1 ACCESSING VALUES IN LISTS:

To access values in lists, use the square brackets for slicing along with the
index or indices to obtain value available at that index. For example − list1 =
['physics', 'chemistry', 1997,2000]; list2 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]; print "list1[0]: ", list1[0]
print "list2[1:5]: ", list2[1:5]

Output: list1[0]: physicslist2[1:5]: [2, 3, 4, 5]

Update: list = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; print"Value available at index 2 : " print
list[2] list[2] = 2001; print"New value available at index 2 : " print list[2]

Output: Value available at index 2 :1997 New value available at index 2 :2001

Delete: list1 = ['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]; print list1 del list1[2]; print "After deleting
value at index 2 : " print list1['physics', 'chemistry', 1997, 2000]

Output: After deleting value at index 2 :['physics', 'chemistry', 2000]

LOOPS & CONDITIONAL STATEMENT

5.1 LOOP

5.1.1 LOOP DEFINITION

Programming languages provide various control structures that allow for more
complicated execution paths.

A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple

times. The following diagram illustrates a loop statement −

> Greater that - True if left operand is greater than the right x>y
< Less that - True if left operand is less than the right x<y

== Equal to - True if both operands are equal x == y

!= Not equal to - True if operands are not equal x != y

>= Greater than or equal to - True if left operand is greater than or equal to the right x >= y

<= Less than or equal to - True if left operand is less than or equal to the right +x <=
y

Fig: 5.1.1 Loop Definition

20
Python programming language provides following types of loops to handle looping
requirements.

LOOP TYPE DESCRIPTION

while loop Repeats a statement or group of statements while a given

condition is TRUE. It tests the condition before executing the
loop body.

for loop Executes a sequence of statements multiple times and

abbreviates the code that manages the loop variable.

nested loops You can use one or more loop inside any another while, for or
do. While loop.

5.1.2 Loop Example:

For Loop:
>>> for mynum in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]: print ("Hello", mynum )

Hello 1

Hello 2

Hello 3

Hello 4

Hello 5

While Loop:
>>> count = 0 >>while(count< 4):

print 'The count is:', count count = count + 1

The count is: 0

The count is: 1

The count is: 2

The count is: 3

21
5.2 Conditional Statements:

Decision making is anticipation of conditions occurring while execution of the

program and specifying actions taken according to the conditions.

Decision structures evaluate multiple expressions which produce TRUE or FALSE as

outcome. You need to determine which action to take and which statements to execute if
outcome is TRUE or FALSE otherwise.

Fig: 5.2 Conditional Statements:

Python programming language provides following types of decision-making

statements. Click the following links to check their detail.

STATEMENT DESCRIPTION

if statements An if statement consists of a boolean expression followed

by one or more statements.

if...else statements An if statement can be followed by an optional else

statement, which executes when the boolean expression
is FALSE.

nested if statements You can use one if or else if statement inside another if or
else if statement(s).

22
 Example:
If Statement: a=33 b=200
If b>a: print(“b”)

If...Else Statement: a=200 b=33

if b>a: print(“b is greater than a”) else: print(“a is greater than b”)

5.3 FUNCTION

Function blocks begin with the keyword def followed by the function name and
parentheses ( ( )).

Any input parameters or arguments should be placed within these parentheses. You
can also define parameters inside these parentheses.

The first statement of a function can be an optional statement - the documentation

string of the function.

The code block within every function starts with a colon (:) and is indented.

The statement returns [expression] exits a function, optionally passing back an

expression to the caller. A return statement with no arguments is the same as return None.

5.3.1 Syntax:

Def functionname(parameters):

“function_docstring”

Function_suite

Return[expression]

Example:

Def printme(str):
“Thisprint a passed string into this function” print str return
1. # Function definition is here def printme (str ):

"This prints a passed string into this function" print str return;

# Now you can call printme function printme("I'm first call to user defined function!")
printme("Again second call to the same function")

CONCLUSION

I believe the trial has shown conclusively that it is both possible and desirable to use Python
as the principal teaching language:

o It is Free (as in both cost and source code).

o It is trivial to install on a Windows PC allowing students to take their interest further. For
many the hurdle of installing a Pascal or C compiler on a Windows machine is either too
expensive or too complicated;
