Basic Knowledge of Python part 2

Strings using python -

Other than numbers python can also handle strings which can be expressed by several ways. In programming a string is a contiguous sequence of symbols or values such as a character string or digit string. Strings is declared in a '....' (single quotes) or "...." (double quotes). 

  

By using '\n' you can insert the string to the new line by using print() command. For example:


 We can concatenate string by using + operator. Concatenate means we can merge two or more separate strings by using + operator. For example:


We see another example of multiple concatenate.


Here 3*'py' means the string 'py' repeats 3 times and same for the 'thon' string.

Now we another method to concatenate two or more strings. In this method you have write strings next to each other without any operator. For example:


In the python string is stored in indexes. The index is start from 0 (zero). In python indexes also be calculated from reverse side and this index is start from -1. Lets see example

str = 'Python'

Indexes
 01 2 3 4 5 
 Py t h o n 
 -6 -5 -4-3  -2-1 
Indexes

With the help of indexing you can separate out the string means that you can get some part of main string using indexes. For example:


Related to the indexing now we see the slicing. In slicing you get a substring of the main string instead of getting single character. If we want 'tho' substring from 'Python' main string we use slicing. For these please refer above indexing table. 

 

Here value before colon is the starting index and value after colon is ending index so that you can get the values between these two indexes. 

We see some more examples on slicing.

If you want first two and last two characters from main string you should write this code:



We will learn more about strings in the different section.

Python | Introduction

Python is developed by Guido van Rossum . Guido van Rossum started implementing python in 1989. Python is very simple programming language so if you are new to programming, you can learn python without facing any issue. Features of Python Free and Open Source -                                                                                      Python is a open source language. We can easily install python.It is freely available at python's official website . High level language -                                                                                     ...

Python | Recursive Function

Python - Recursive Function Recursive function means the function call themselves within the function body until a certain condition is matched then this function is recursive function. For example:-  def fact(n):      if n==0 or n==1:           return 1      else:           return n*fact(n-1) print(fact(8)) Output:- 40320 This is the example of recursive function. In this program we create a function named as fact and we call this function within the same function. How this program works? We give the value of n is 8 so n=8. In the first if condition, 8 is not equal to 0 and 1 so it goes to the else part in the else part the sentence is return n*fact(n-1) that means 8*fact(7) now here value of n become 7 to find fact(7) again same procedure repeat up to fact(1).   Because fact(1)=1   we give this condition. Then  fact(2) => 2*fact(1) =>  2*1 =>  2   ...

Python | Control Flow Tools

Control Flow Tools In this session we will see about control flow tools of python. 1) if Statement:- In the programming language if statement is important statement. Now we see how to write if statement in the python program. For Example:- >>> x = int(input("Please Enter an integer")) Please Enter an integer 50 >>> if x<0:      x=0      print("Negative change to zero") elif x==0: print("Zero") elif x==1: print("One") else: print("More") More >>>  Here is the program of if statement. You can add one or more elif part in the program. else part is the optional.      In the program we take the value of x is 50. In the if statement we write x<0 condition which is false because 50 is not less than 0 so it will go to the next part of the code which is first elif part, here we give condition x==0 this condition is also false so it will go to the second elif part which is x==1 this condition is also f...
