Basics
Variables
# define a number time_elapsed_s = 12.34 #define a string first_name = "John" #define a boolean - True/False is_online = True
Input and Output
first_name = input("What is your name? ") print("Hello " + first_name)
Type Conversions
Python has the following functions for type conversion:
- int(),
- float(),
- bool(),
- str()
#Convert String to int birth_year = input("What is your birth year: ") age = 2021 - int(birth_year) print(age) # or another way birth_year = int(input("What is your birth year: ")) age = 2021 - birth_year print("Age: " - str(age))
Strings
When we define a string, it becomes an object of type string. We can call any methods of the object string.
course = "Course Name" index = course.find("u") print(index) #or to get True/False if an substring exists using IN found = "Name" in course print (found)
Arithmetic Operators
Operator | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
+ | plus | 10 + 3 = 13 |
- | minus | 10 - 3 = 7 |
* | multiply | 10 * 3 = 30 |
/ | divide - returns float | 10 / 3 = 3.333 |
// | divide (whole number) | 10 // 3 = 3 |
% | modulus - remainder of division | 10 % 3 = 1 |
** | exponent | 10 ** 3 = 1000 |
+=, *=, ... | Augmented Assignment Operators | x+=3 = x=x+3 |
