UNIT 5 : Introduction to Python

❖ What is a computer program?


➢ A computer program is a collection of instructions that perform a specific task when
executed by a computer.
➢ An algorithm is a step by step method or procedure to solve a problem.
➢ A flowchart is the graphical/pictorial representation of an algorithm using symbols,
shapes and arrows.

❖ What are the advantages of using Python?


➢ Most commonly used language for coding in AI
➢ Easy to use, Free and open source, Extensive support for libraries, Portable, User-
friendly, More functionality with less coding, Compatibility, Scalable
➢ IDE - Integrated Development Environment.

❖ Mention some applications of Python.


➢ GUI, software development, Database access, Games and 3D Graphics, Web and
internet development

❖ What are Python comments?


➢ Comments are the statements that are incorporated in the code to give a better
understanding of code statements to the user.
➢ Single line comment - one can use # and then write anything after it
➢ Multi line comment - one can use “ “ “ ” ” ” or ‘ ‘ ‘ ’ ’ ’and then write anything in
between the quotation marks.

❖ What are Python keywords?


➢ Keywords are reserved words in Python with a specific purpose in the code.
➢ Example - if, elif, else, for, while, break, continue, return, True, False, or, and, in, is,
as, try

❖ What are identifiers?


➢ Identifiers are the names given to the entities like class, variables, functions.
➢ Variable is a named location that stores data in the memory.
➢ Constants are variables with fixed value in a program.
❖ What are the different data types in Python?
➢ Numeric : int - for integer numbers, float - for decimal numbers
➢ String - str - for sequence of characters (within single quotes or double quotes)
➢ Tuple - tuple - The tuple is a collection of Python objects which are ordered &
unchangeable. It is represented by round brackets - ( ).
➢ List - list - The list is a collection of Python objects which are ordered and changeable.
It is represented by square brackets - [ ].
➢ Set - set - The set is a collection of Python objects that are unordered, changeable, &
can’t have multiple occurrences of the same item. It is represented by curly brackets - {
}.
➢ Dictionary - dict - for storing data as a key-value pair and is changeable. Eg: {Key :
Value}

❖ What are the different types of operators in Python?


➢ Arithmetic operator - for arithmetic operations
■ + (Addition), - (Subtraction), * (Multiplication), / (Division),
% (Modulus), ** (Exponent)
➢ Assignment operator - for assigning values to variables
■ =, +=, -=, *=, /=
➢ Comparison operator - to compare 2 values or variables
■ <, >, <=, >=, ==, !=
➢ Logical operator - these are the boolean operators to check conditions
■ and, or, not

❖ What are conditional statements?


➢ Conditional statements: - used for providing conditions in the code
■ if - else statements, if - elif - else statements

❖ What are loops in Python?


➢ Loops in Python: - used for repeating a set of Python statements
■ for loops, while loops, do-while loops.
