Python Beginner Notes with Examples & Exercises

1. Strings - Working with Text

Strings are used to store text.

Examples:

message = "Hello World"

print(message) # Hello World

Common String Functions:

- len("Hello") => 5

- "Hello".lower() => "hello"

- "hello".upper() => "HELLO"

- "hello".count("l") => 2

- "hello world".find("world") => 6

- "hello world".replace("world", "Python") => "hello Python"

Formatted String:

name = "John"

greeting = f"Hello, {name}!" # f-string

print(greeting) # Hello, John!

2. Numbers - Integers and Floats

Numbers in Python are either integers (whole) or floats (decimals).

Examples:

num = 3.14

print(type(num)) # <class 'float'>

Arithmetic Operations:

- 3 + 2 => 5

- 3 - 2 => 1

- 3 * 2 => 6
Python Beginner Notes with Examples & Exercises

- 3 / 2 => 1.5

- 3 // 2 => 1 (floor division)

- 3 ** 2 => 9 (exponent)

- 3 % 2 => 1 (modulus)

Useful Functions:

- abs(-5) => 5

- round(3.75) => 4

- round(3.75, 1) => 3.8

3. Lists, Tuples, and Sets

Lists:

courses = ["Math", "History", "Art"]

courses.append("Physics")

courses.insert(0, "Biology")

courses.remove("Math")

courses.pop() # Removes last

courses.sort()

courses.reverse()

Tuple:

Immutable list (can't change)

tup = ("Math", "Art")

Set:

No duplicates, unordered

subjects = {"Math", "Art", "Math"} # Only one "Math"

Set Functions:

- intersection()

- difference()
Python Beginner Notes with Examples & Exercises

- union()

4. Exercises

1. Create a string variable called `greeting` with value "Hi There", and print its uppercase version.

2. Use math operators to calculate: (4 + 5) * 3
