Installing Python

We’ll be using the Anaconda Python distribution,


which can downloaded through this link:

Variables

? Declaring variables in Python is easy. You don’t need to


specify the datatype, you just type the variable name and
assign a value to it.
x=1
y = 1.99
check = True
name = “Ahmed”
favorites = [“Apples”, 3, True]
info = {“name”: “Mostafa”, “age”: 24, “hobby”: “Video games” }

10
Printing a variable or a message

? Using the print function, you can output a message, a


variable, or a combination to the console.

print(name)

Result : Ahmed

11
Accessing items in lists or dictionaries

? To access an item in a list, you specify the index between


square brackets. While to access an item in a dictionary, you
specify the name of the key of the value you want.

print(favorites[1])
print(info[“name”])

Result :
3
Mostafa

12
Arithmetic Operators

Operator Description
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Modulus
** Exponentiation (power)
// Floor division

13
Arithmetic Operators

print(1 + 1)
print(1 – 1)
print(2 * 3)
print(6 / 2)
print(4 % 2)
print(5 // 2)

Result :
2
0

0

Conditionals

? If conditionals in Python are similar to other languages,


but instead of curly brackets, white space is used.
Also, else if statements are called elif.
if(check):
print(“This is true”)
if(x < 0):
print(“Less than 0”)
elif(x == 0):
print(“Equals 0”)
else:
print(“Greater than 0”)

Result :
This is true 15
Greater than 0
Logical Operators

Operator Equivalent to
and &&
or ||
not !

if ((x == 1 and y == 1.99) or (not(check))):


print(“One of the conditions above is true.”)

16
Loops

? While while loops stays the same, for loops on the other
hand are a bit different.
while(check):
print(“This is an infinite loop”)

for i in range(10):
print(“This will loop 10 times”)

for x in favorites:
print(x)

for key, value in info.items(): 17


print(“Key: ” + key + “ Value: ” + value)
Comments

? In Python, # is used for single line comments, while three “


are used for multi-line comments
# This is a single line comments
“””
This
is
a
multi-line
comment
“””

18
Example

list_of_favorites = [
{“name”: “Ahmed”, “likes”: ”watermelon”},
{“name”: “Michael”, “likes”: “apples”},
{“name”: “Sara”, “likes”: “grapes”}
{“name”: “Mariam”, “likes”: “mango”}
]

for person in list_of_favorites:


print(person["name"] + " likes " + person["likes"])
