Day 3: Variables and Data Types

Variables

 Variables are used to store values that can be accessed and manipulated later.
 In Python, you don’t need to explicitly declare variables or specify their data types. The
type is inferred based on the assigned value.

Data Types

 Python has built-in data types such as integers, floating-point numbers, strings, booleans,
lists, tuples, dictionaries, and more.
 Each data type has its own characteristics and operations associated with it.

Code Snippet: Variable Assignment and Data Types

# Integer
age = 25
# Float
salary = 2500.50
# String
name = "John Doe"
# Boolean
is_student = True
# List
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
# Tuple
point = (5, 10)
# Dictionary
person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}

Questions and Answers:

Q1: Can I change the value of a variable after it has been assigned?
A1: Yes, you can change the value of a variable by assigning a new value to it. Python allows
reassignment of variables.

Q2: How do I determine the data type of a variable?

A2: You can use the type() function to determine the data type of a variable. For example,
type(age) will return <class 'int'> for an integer variable.

Day 4: Operators and Expressions

Arithmetic Operators

 Python provides various arithmetic operators such as +, -, *, /, // (floor division), %

(modulus), and ** (exponentiation).
 These operators are used to perform mathematical calculations.

Comparison Operators

 Comparison operators are used to compare values and return boolean results (True or
False).
 Examples of comparison operators include == (equal to), != (not equal to), >, <, >=, and
<=.

Code Snippet: Arithmetic and Comparison Operators

x = 10
y = 3
# Arithmetic Operators
print(x + y) # Addition: 13
print(x - y) # Subtraction: 7
print(x * y) # Multiplication: 30
print(x / y) # Division: 3.3333333333333335
print(x // y) # Floor Division: 3
print(x % y) # Modulus: 1
print(x ** y) # Exponentiation: 1000
# Comparison Operators
print(x == y) # False
print(x != y) # True
print(x > y) # True
print(x < y) # False

Questions and Answers:

Q1: What is the difference between / and // operators?

A1: The / operator performs regular division and returns a floating-point result. The // operator
performs floor division, which divides the operands and returns the largest integer less than or
equal to the quotient.

Q2: What does the % operator (modulus) do?

A2: The % operator returns the remainder after division. For example, 7 % 3 will return 1, as the
remainder of dividing 7 by 3 is 1.

Day 5: Control Flow and Loops

Conditional Statements (if-else)

 Conditional statements are used to execute different blocks of code based on certain
conditions.
 The if statement is followed by a condition.Continued...

If the condition is true, the code block under the if statement is executed. Otherwise, the code
block under the else statement is executed.

Looping Statements (for and while)

 Loops are used to repeat a block of code multiple times.

 The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence (such as a list or a string) or a range of
numbers.
 The while loop is used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a certain
condition is true.
Code Snippet: Conditional Statements and Loops

# Conditional Statements
age = 18
if age >= 18:
print("You are an adult.")
else:
print("You are not yet an adult.")
# For Loop
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)
# While Loop
count = 0
while count < 5:
print("Count:", count)
count += 1

Questions and Answers:

Q1: Can an if statement be used without an else statement?

A1: Yes, an if statement can be used without an else statement. If the condition in the if
statement is true, the code block under the if statement is executed. If the condition is false, the
execution continues to the next block of code after the if statement.

Q2: How does the for loop work with a range of numbers?

A2: The for loop can be used with the range() function to iterate over a sequence of numbers.
For example, for i in range(5): will execute the code block five times, with i taking the
values 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 in each iteration.

Day 6: Functions and Modules

Functions
  Functions are blocks of reusable code that perform a specific task.

programs.
 They provide a way to organize and reuse code across multiple files and projects.

Code Snippet: Function Definition and Module Import

# Function Definition
def greet(name):
print("Hello, " + name + "!")

# Function Call
greet("Alice")
# Module Import
import math
print(math.sqrt(16)) # 4.0

Questions and Answers:

Q1: How do I define a function in Python?

A1: To define a function, use the def keyword followed by the function name, a pair of
parentheses, and a colon. The code block of the function is indented below. Here's an example:

def my_function():
# Code block
# ...

Q2: How can I use functions from a module?

A2: To use functions from a module, you need to import the module first using the import
keyword. After importing, you can access the functions using the module name followed by a
dot (.) and the function name. For example, math.sqrt(16) calls the sqrt() function from the
math module and returns the square root of 16.

Day 7: File Handling

Reading and Writing Files

 Python provides built-in functions for reading and writing files.

 You can open a file using the open() function andContinued...

specify the file mode ("r" for reading, "w" for writing, "a" for appending, and more).

 After opening a file, you can perform various operations such as reading its contents,
writing data to it, and closing the file.

Code Snippet: Reading and Writing Files

# Reading a File
file = open("data.txt", "r")
content = file.read()
print(content)
file.close()
# Writing to a File
file = open("output.txt", "w")
file.write("This is some text.")
file.close()

Questions and Answers:

Q1: How can I read only a specific number of characters or lines from a file?
A1: After opening a file, you can use the read() function with an optional argument specifying
the number of characters to read. For example, file.read(10) will read the first 10 characters
from the file. You can also use the readline() function to read a single line from the file.

Q2: What happens if I open a file in write mode ("w") that doesn't exist?

A2: If the file doesn’t exist, it will be created when you open it in write mode ("w"). If the file
already exists, opening it in write mode will overwrite its contents. It's important to be cautious
when using write mode to avoid unintentionally losing data.

Day 8: Object-Oriented Programming

# Class Definition
class Car:
def __init__(self, make, model, year):
self.make = make
self.model = model
self.year = year
def drive(self):
print("The car is driving.")
# Object Creation
my_car = Car("Toyota", "Camry", 2022)
# Accessing Object Attributes
print(my_car.make) # Toyota
print(my_car.model) # Camry
print(my_car.year) # 2022
# Calling Object Methods
my_car.drive() # The car is driving.

Questions and Answers:

Q1: What is the purpose of the __init__() method in a class?

A1: The __init__() method is a special method called the constructor. It is automatically
invoked when an object is created from a class. It initializes the object's attributes and sets their
initial values.

Q2: How can I access an object’s attributes and methods?

A2: You can access an object’s attributes using the dot (.) operator followed by the attribute
name. For example, my_car.make accesses the make attribute of the my_car object. Similarly,
you can call an object's methods using the dot operator and parentheses. For example,
my_car.drive() calls the drive() method of the my_car object.

Day 30: Error Handling and Exceptions

Error Handling with Try-Except

 Error handling allows you to catch and handle exceptions that may occur during program
execution.
 In Python, you can use the try and except statements to handle exceptions and prevent
program crashes.

Code Snippet: Error Handling with Try-Except

try:
# Code block that may raise an exception
x = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero.")
except Exception as e:
print("An error occurred:", str(e))

Questions and Answers:

Q1: What is an exception in Python?

A1: An exception is an error that occurs during the execution of a program. It interrupts the
normal flow of the program and can be caused by various factors, such as invalid input,
unexpected conditions, or runtime errors. Python provides built-in exceptions and allows you to
define custom exceptions to handle specific errors.

Q2: What is the purpose of the try and except statements?

A2: The try and except statements are used for error handling in Python. The try block
contains the code that may raise an exception. If an exception occurs within the try block, it is
caught by the corresponding except block. The except block specifies the type of exception to
handle and the code to execute when that exception occurs.
