Basic Introduction To Python II

Study

Tuple: Tuples are an ordered sequence.

Ratings = (10, 9, 6, 5, 10)

tpl1 = (‘Hello’, 9, 0.5)

type(tpl1) -> tuple

tpl1[0] -> Hello

-30Hello
-219
-120.5

tpl1[-3] = Hello

tpl2 = tpl1 + (“Hi”, 10)

tpl2 = (‘Hello’, 9, 0.5, ‘Hi’, 10)

Now,

tp1  = (‘Hello’, 9, 0.5)

tp2 = tp1 + (1)

print(tp2)

But this will give TypeError as it can only concatenate tuple.  Not int to tuple. So single item in tuple gives an error whether it is string, float or int.

So, tp1 = (1) -> type(tp1) = int
tp1 = (‘Hi’) -> type(tp1) = str
tp1 = (9.9) -> type(tp1) = float

Now, tpl2 =  (‘dance’, 9, 0.5, ‘hip hop’, 99)

tpl2[0:3] -> (‘dance’, 9, 0.5)

tpl2[3:5] -> (‘hip hop’, 99)

len(tpl2) -> 5

Note: Tuples are immutable.

Rating = (10, 9, 6, 5, 10, 8, 9, 6, 2)

RatingSorted = sorted(Rating)

 RatingSorted = (2, 5, 6, 6, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10)

Tuples Nesting:

NT = (1,2, (‘pop’, ‘song’), (3,4), (‘dance’, (8, 9)))

NT[2] = (‘pop’, ‘song’)

NT[2][1] = ‘song’

List: Lists are also ordered sequences.

L = [“Captain Planets”, 9.99, 9]

Major difference between list and tuple is that list is mutable.

List can also contain tuples.

Lst = [“Hello”, 9.9, 007, [1,2], (‘Hi’, 5) ]

Lst= [“Hello”, 1, 2 ]

-30Hello
-211
-122

Lst.extend([“World”, 365 ])

So, Lst = [“Hello”, 1, 2, [“World”, 365]]

A = [“Hi”, 1, 2]

A[0] = “Hello”

A = [“Hello”, 1, 2]

del(A[1])

A  = [“Hello”, 2]

Convert string to list

“Hello World”.split() = [“Hello”, “World”]

“A, B, C, D”.split(“,”) = [“A”, “B”, “C”, “D”]

Aliasing

A =[“Hi”, 9, 1.1]

B = A (reference is created)

A —————-> [“Hi”, 9, 1.1] <———————- B                  

A & B both are alias.

So, A[0] = “Hello”

Then , B[0] also becomes “Hello”

A =[“Hello”, 9, 1.1]

B =[“Hello”, 9, 1.1]

Clone list

A = [“Hi”, 9, 365]

B = A[:]

So,

A -> [“Hi”, 9, 365]
B -> [“Hi”, 9, 365]
Now A[0] = “Hello”
So, now A[0] becomes “Hello” but B[0] remains “Hi”
A -> [“Hello”, 9, 365]
B -> [“Hi”, 9, 365]

Dictionary: Type of collection

Key is index by label

key1value1
key2value2
key3value3

Dictionaries denoted by { }

Keys have to be immutable and unique.

{“key1”:9, “key2”:”hello”, “key3”:[9, 9], “key4”: (7, 8, 9), (‘key5’):5}

Value can immutable, mutable & duplicates.

Key                      Value

Hi1960
Hello1980
Bye2100

DICT[“Hello”] = 1980

DICT[“Hi”] = 1960

Adding new value to dictionary DICT[“Again”, 2110]

Hi1960
Hello1980
Bye2100
Again2110

del(DICT(“Hi”)) -> deletes both – Hi key entry & value of Hi key
‘Hi’ in DICT -> returns true if found else returns false.
DICT.keys() = [“Hi”, “Hello”, “Bye”, “Again”]
DICT.values() -> [1960, 1980, 2100, 2110] returns values list

Sets : also type of collection

Unlike lists & tuples, they are unordered.

Sets only have unique element.

Sets uses { } bracket.

st = {“A”, “A”}

when created set st has {“A”}.

Converting list to set called type casting.

A = [“Hello”, 99, “Hello”, 1.0]

Aset = set(A)

Aset = { “Hello”, 99, 1.0}

Set operation
A.add(“World”) -> adding new element
A.remove(“Hello”) -> removing element
‘Hello’ in A -> if in set returns true else returns false
A = {“Hi”, “Hello”, “Again”}
B = {“Bye”, “Hi”}
A&B -> intersection
A.union(B) -> union
B.issubset(A) -> subset check

String to List convert

spacelight = ‘Earth is our home planet’
print(‘Given string:’, spacelight)
lst= spacelight.split(‘ ‘)
print(‘Required List:’, lst)

output

Given string: Earth is our home planet
Required List: [‘Earth’, ‘is’, ‘our’, ‘home’, ‘planet’]
