Introduction

Hello World

>>> print("Hello, World!")
Hello, World!

The famous "Hello World" program in Python

Variables

age = 18      # age is of type int
name = "John" # name is now of type str
print(name)

Python can't declare a variable without assignment.

File Handling {.col-span-2}

with open("myfile.txt", "r", encoding='utf8') as file:
    for line in file:
        print(line)

See: File Handling

Arithmetic

result = 10 + 30 # => 40
result = 40 - 10 # => 30
result = 50 * 5  # => 250
result = 16 / 4  # => 4.0 (Float Division)
result = 16 // 4 # => 4 (Integer Division)
result = 25 % 2  # => 1
result = 5 ** 3  # => 125

The / means quotient of x and y, and the // means floored quotient of x and y, also see StackOverflow (opens in a new tab)

Plus-Equals

counter = 0
counter += 10           # => 10
counter = 0
counter = counter + 10  # => 10
 
message = "Part 1."
 
# => Part 1.Part 2.
message += "Part 2."   

f-Strings (Python 3.6+)

>>> website = 'Quickref.ME'
>>> f"Hello, {website}"
"Hello, Quickref.ME"
 
>>> num = 10
>>> f'{num} + 10 = {num + 10}'
'10 + 10 = 20'

Python Built-in Data Types

Strings

hello = "Hello World"
hello = 'Hello World'
 
multi_string = """Multiline Strings
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing elit """

See: Strings

Numbers

x = 1    # int
y = 2.8  # float
z = 1j   # complex
 
>>> print(type(x))
<class 'int'>

Booleans

my_bool = True 
my_bool = False
 
bool(0)     # => False
bool(1)     # => True

Lists

list1 = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
list2 = [True, False, False]
list3 = [1, 5, 7, 9, 3]
list4 = list((1, 5, 7, 9, 3))

See: Lists

Tuple

my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
my_tuple = tuple((1, 2, 3))

Similar to List but immutable

Set

set1 = {"a", "b", "c"}   
set2 = set(("a", "b", "c"))

Set of unique items/objects

Dictionary

>>> empty_dict = {}
>>> a = {"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}
>>> a["one"]
1
>>> a.keys()
dict_keys(['one', 'two', 'three'])
>>> a.values()
dict_values([1, 2, 3])
>>> a.update({"four": 4})
>>> a.keys()
dict_keys(['one', 'two', 'three', 'four'])
>>> a['four']
4

Key: Value pair, JSON like object

Casting

Integers

x = int(1)   # x will be 1
y = int(2.8) # y will be 2
z = int("3") # z will be 3

Floats

x = float(1)     # x will be 1.0
y = float(2.8)   # y will be 2.8
z = float("3")   # z will be 3.0
w = float("4.2") # w will be 4.2

Strings

x = str("s1") # x will be 's1'
y = str(2)    # y will be '2'
z = str(3.0)  # z will be '3.0'

Python Advanced Data Types

Heaps {.col-span-2 .row-span-3}

import heapq
 
myList = [9, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2]
heapq.heapify(myList) # turn myList into a Min Heap
print(myList)    # => [1, 3, 2, 5, 9, 4]
print(myList[0]) # first value is always the smallest in the heap
 
heapq.heappush(myList, 10) # insert 10
x = heapq.heappop(myList)  # pop and return smallest item
print(x)                   # => 1

Negate all values to use Min Heap as Max Heap

myList = [9, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2]
myList = [-val for val in myList] # multiply by -1 to negate
heapq.heapify(myList)
 
x = heapq.heappop(myList)
print(-x) # => 9 (making sure to multiply by -1 again)

Heaps are binary trees for which every parent node has a value less than or equal to any of its children. Useful for accessing min/max value quickly. Time complexity: O(n) for heapify, O(log n) push and pop. See: Heapq (opens in a new tab)

Stacks and Queues {.row-span-3}

from collections import deque
 
q = deque()          # empty
q = deque([1, 2, 3]) # with values
 
q.append(4)     # append to right side
q.appendleft(0) # append to left side
print(q)    # => deque([0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
 
x = q.pop() # remove & return from right
y = q.popleft() # remove & return from left
print(x)    # => 4
print(y)    # => 0
print(q)    # => deque([1, 2, 3])
 
q.rotate(1) # rotate 1 step to the right
print(q)    # => deque([3, 1, 2])

Deque is a double-ended queue with O(1) time for append/pop operations from both sides. Used as stacks and queues. See: Deque (opens in a new tab)

Python Strings

Array-like

>>> hello = "Hello, World"
>>> print(hello[1])
e
>>> print(hello[-1])
d

Get the character at position 1 or last

Looping

>>> for char in "foo":
...     print(char)
f
o
o

Loop through the letters in the word "foo"

Slicing string {.row-span-4}

 ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
 | m | y | b | a | c | o | n |
 └───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘
 0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
-7  -6  -5  -4  -3  -2  -1

>>> s = 'mybacon'
>>> s[2:5]
'bac'
>>> s[0:2]
'my'
>>> s = 'mybacon'
>>> s[:2]
'my'
>>> s[2:]
'bacon'
>>> s[:2] + s[2:]
'mybacon'
>>> s[:]
'mybacon'
>>> s = 'mybacon'
>>> s[-5:-1]
'baco'
>>> s[2:6]
'baco'

With a stride

>>> s = '12345' * 5
>>> s
'1234512345123451234512345'
>>> s[::5]
'11111'
>>> s[4::5]
'55555'
>>> s[::-5]
'55555'
>>> s[::-1]
'5432154321543215432154321'

String Length

>>> hello = "Hello, World!"
>>> print(len(hello))
13

The len() function returns the length of a string

Multiple copies

>>> s = '===+'
>>> n = 8
>>> s * n
'===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+'

Check String

>>> s = 'spam'
>>> s in 'I saw spamalot!'
True
>>> s not in 'I saw The Holy Grail!'
True
 

Concatenates

>>> s = 'spam'
>>> t = 'egg'
>>> s + t
'spamegg'
>>> 'spam' 'egg'
'spamegg'

Formatting {.col-span-2}

name = "John"
print("Hello, %s!" % name)
name = "John"
age = 23
print("%s is %d years old." % (name, age))

format() Method

txt2 = "My name is {0}, I'm {1}".format("John", 36)
txt3 = "My name is {}, I'm {}".format("John", 36)

Input

>>> name = input("Enter your name: ")
Enter your name: Tom
>>> name
'Tom'

Get input data from console

Join

>>> "#".join(["John", "Peter", "Vicky"])
'John#Peter#Vicky'

Endswith

>>> "Hello, world!".endswith("!")
True

for index in range(10):
    x = index * 10
    if index == 5:
    	break
    print(x)

Continue

for index in range(3, 8): 
    x = index * 10
    if index == 5:
    	continue
    print(x)

Prints: 30 40 60 70

Range

for i in range(4):
    print(i) # Prints: 0 1 2 3

    print(i) # Prints: 4 5 6 7
 
for i in range(4, 10, 2):
    print(i) # Prints: 4 6 8

With zip()

words = ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed']
nums = [1, 2, 3]
# Use zip to pack into a tuple list
for w, n in zip(words, nums):
    print('%d:%s, ' %(n, w))

Prints: 1:Mon, 2:Tue, 3:Wed,

for/else

Positional argument

def calc_summary(*args: int):
    return sum(args)
 
print(calc_summary(3, 1, 4))  # => 8

Indicate all arguments' type is int.

Returned

def say_hello(name) -> str:
    return "Hello, " + name
 
var = "Python"
print(say_hello(var))  # => Hello, Python

Union returned

from typing import Union
 
def resp200(meaningful) -> Union[int, str]:
    return "OK" if meaningful else 200

Means returned value type may be int or str.

Keyword argument

def calc_summary(**kwargs: int):
    return sum(kwargs.values())
 
print(calc_summary(a=1, b=2))  # => 3

Indicate all parameters' value type is int.

Multiple returns

def resp200() -> (int, str):
    return 200, "OK"
 
returns = resp200()
print(returns)  # => (200, 'OK')
print(type(returns))  # tuple

Union returned (3.10+)

def resp200(meaningful) -> int | str:
    return "OK" if meaningful else 200

Generators

def double_numbers(iterable):
    for i in iterable:
        yield i + i

Generators help you make lazy code.

Generator to list

values = (-x for x in [1,2,3,4,5])
gen_to_list = list(values)
 
# => [-1, -2, -3, -4, -5]
print(gen_to_list)

Handle exceptions {.col-span-3}

except IndexError as e:
    pass                 # Pass is just a no-op. Usually you would do recovery here.
except (TypeError, NameError):
    pass                 # Multiple exceptions can be handled together, if required.
else:                    # Optional clause to the try/except block. Must follow all except blocks
    print("All good!")   # Runs only if the code in try raises no exceptions
finally:                 # Execute under all circumstances
    print("We can clean up resources here")
