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 | Data Structures or Data Types (List)

Data Type of Python In Python there are two types of data types which are Mutable and Immutable. Mutable data type contains List and Dictionary data types. And Immutable data type contains String,Tuple and Sets data types. Now we see what is Mutable and Immutable data type? The main object get changed permanently after applying methods of data type this data type is called as Mutable data type. And the main object will not be changed permanently after applying methods of data type this data type is called as Immutable data types. Now we see data types one by one! 1) List - List is an ordered collection of mutable datatype. Lists are hashable, iterable. List contain any kind of data. List are declared in square braces[]. Empty List-  L = [ ] List with multiple elements -  L1 = [10, 15.10, 'Python', [10,20] ] In the above list you can add any data type as shown above. In list L1 there is Integer, float,String,list data types. To add string data type you must have to declared in ...

Basic Knowledge of Python part 1

Basic Mathematics equations using Python- As we know python is a simple and easy to learn programming language. In this section we learn how to done mathematics equations using python. To perform this we use our basic operators +,-,/,* .  To perform python we have to open python interpreter. In this interpreter you can type simple equation like 5+5, 4/2 etc. For example: The integer number (e.g. 1,2,3....) have type int and the number with fractional part (e.g. 2.5,2.1,4.5...) have type float. Note:-  The division type always returns float. To get only an integer result of division you can use the // operator and to get remainder from division result you can use % operator. In python you can easily calculate power of the number by using ** operator. Like this you can easily calculate mathematics equation. Now we see how to find area of rectangle. Area = length*width is the formula to find area of rectangle. Here '=' sign is used to store value to the variable. You can als...
