 What is Python?
Popular language created for simplicity and readability

 02
VARIABLES/DATA
TYPES
 Basic Data Types

Returns a truth value. A decimal number.

- True or False - Even a regular
number with a
decimal is a float.
Booleans

Float
Regular numbers.
- No decimals, can
be positive or Line of text
negative - Set off by single
Integers quotes or double
quotes.
String
Data Conversion Functions
Bool()
- Turns a variable
into a Boolean
value

Float()
- Turns a variable
into a float
(cannot work with
letters)
Str()
- Turns a variable
into a string
Int()
- Turns a variable
into an integer
(cannot work with
letters or a float
with a decimal
value)
Applications of conversion
Input
function

Use input() to take an

input from the user.

Since it is by default a
string, you can use
float() or int() to
convert to a data type
Type
of your choice.
function

Use type() to check the

datatype of any
variable
 03
LOOPS /
CONDITIONAL
STATEMENTS
 Basics
A loop is a repeated piece of code, usually until a variable meets a
condition or a certain amount of iterations.

Source: Geeks for Geeks

 While Loops
Syntax:

while [condition]:
[action]
[update condition]

Until the condition is met, the action will keep repeating.

 For Loops

Syntax:

for [variable] in range([count)]:

[repetitive action]
Note: variable automatically updates

Range(x) - cycles through the numbers from 0 to x-1

 If - Else Statements

Syntax:

If [condition]:
[action]
elif [condition]:
[action]
else:
[action]

Conditions can be equality (==), greater than (<), less than (>), and much
more.
04
LISTS - BASICS, ACCESSION
 Lists and Tuples - Basics

Tuples - set of two values enclosed by parentheses (ex: (0,1))

Lists - set of multiple values enclosed by brackets (ex:

[1,2,3,4,5,6,7])

Tuples and Lists can be held by one variable!

 Lists

- Another type of variable/data

- Important in basic python because it holds multiple values with one
variable
- Important for keeping track of inputs or creating rudimentary
datasets
- Other data types like arrays and series are based on it
 Accession: Indexing

Index: the position of a certain item in the list

Syntax: list_name[index]
 Indexing (cont.)

More syntax:
 Basic List Functions

listname.count(item) - count the amount of times item shows up

listname.append(item) - adds the item at the end of the list

listname.remove(item) - removes item

listname.pop(index) - removes item at the specified index

05
LIST
COMPREHENSION
 What is list comprehension?

Creating lists in only one line!

- The loops, equations, and conditions you need can be

condensed into one line of code
- This makes code more organized and compact!
 Basic Syntax
Syntax = listname = [expression for variable in range ([range])]

Ex: numbers = [a for a in range(1,6)] gets the numbers from 1 to 5

The list gets saved in the ‘numbers’ variable

Source: Towards Data Science

 More examples!
Using an if statement:

even_numbers = [i for i in range (1,10) if i%2==0]

Using an if else statement to determine the expression:

even_or_odd= ["Even" if i%2==0 else "Odd" for i in range(10)]

 06
FUNCTIONS AND
LAMBDA
 Functions
block of code specified under one name (like
variable) that runs when you call the name
 Basic Syntax and Outputs
Basic syntax:

def name (parameters):

[code]
return [value] (optional!)

When calling a function to use it:

name(arguments)

Note: a parameter is the variable name used INSIDE the function

(using the letter ‘x’ to denote input) while an argument is the
ACTUAL input that gets passed to the parameter (using the input
function and getting a number (y) that you use)
 Lambda Functions

Lambda [expression]: [equation/manipulation]

Example: lambda x : x+2

Lambda functions are a great way to condense functions into one

line.
