perform a specific task. They can be defined using the def keyword,
followed by the function name and parentheses.
 The return statement is used to specify the value that the function
should return when it is called.
 Keyword arguments allow us to pass arguments to a function using the
argument name, which makes it easier to understand the purpose of
each argument.
 Nested function calls occur when a function is called within another
function. This can be useful for organizing code and breaking down
complex tasks into smaller steps.
Variable Scope
Variable scope refers to the part of the program where a variable can be
accessed.

 The scope of a variable is determined by where it is defined. Variables


defined inside a function have local scope and can only be accessed
within that function.
 The global keyword can be used to define a variable with global scope,
which means it can be accessed from anywhere in the program.
*args and **kwargs
*args and **kwargs are special syntax in Python that allow a function to
accept a variable number of arguments.

 *args is used to pass a variable number of non-keyword arguments to a


function. The arguments are collected into a tuple.
 **kwargs is used to pass a variable number of keyword arguments to a
function. The arguments are collected into a dictionary.
String Format
String format allows us to insert values into a string in a specific format.

 We can use curly braces {} as placeholders in a string, and then use


the format() method to insert values into those placeholders.
 We can also use f-strings, which are formatted string literals that allow
us to embed expressions inside curly braces directly in the string.
Random Numbers
Random numbers can be generated in Python using the random module.

 The random module provides functions for generating random integers,


floating-point numbers, and selecting random elements from a
sequence.
Exception Handling
Exception handling allows us to handle errors and exceptions that may
occur during the execution of a program.

 We can use the try and except keywords to catch and handle specific
exceptions.
 The finally block can be used to specify code that should always be
executed, regardless of whether an exception occurred or not.
File Handling
File handling allows us to read from and write to files in Python.

 We can use the open() function to open a file and specify the mode in
which we want to open it (read, write, append, etc.).
 The read() method can be used to read the contents of a file, while the
write() method can be used to write data to a file.
 We can use the os module to perform operations on files, such as
copying, moving, and deleting them.
Modules
Modules are files that contain Python code and can be imported into other
Python programs.

 We can use the import keyword to import a module. Once imported, we


can use the functions, classes, and variables defined in the module.
Rock, Paper, Scissors Game
The rock, paper, scissors game is a simple game where two players
choose one of three options: rock, paper, or scissors.

 The game follows a set of rules: rock beats scissors, scissors beats
paper, and paper beats rock.
 We can implement the game using conditional statements and random
number generation.
Quiz Game
A quiz game is a game where players are asked questions and have to
provide answers.

 We can create a quiz game by storing questions and their


corresponding answers in a data structure, such as a list or dictionary.
 We can use loops and conditional statements to iterate through the
questions and check the answers provided by the players.
Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that organizes
code into objects, which are instances of classes.

 Classes are blueprints for creating objects. They define the properties
and behaviors that objects of that class will have.
 Class variables are variables that are shared by all instances of a class.
They are defined inside the class but outside any methods.
Inheritance
Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming that allows a
class to inherit properties and behaviors from another class.

 Inheritance is useful for creating classes that are similar to each other
but have some differences.
 The class that is being inherited from is called the parent class or
superclass, while the class that inherits from it is called the child class or
subclass.
Multilevel Inheritance
Multilevel inheritance is a type of inheritance where a class inherits from
another class, which in turn inherits from another class.
 This creates a hierarchy of classes, where each class inherits the
properties and behaviors of its parent class.
Multiple Inheritance
Multiple inheritance is a type of inheritance where a class inherits from
multiple parent classes.

 This allows the child class to inherit properties and behaviors from
multiple classes.
Method Overriding
Method overriding is a feature of object-oriented programming that allows a
subclass to provide a different implementation of a method that is already
defined in its parent class.

 This allows the subclass to customize the behavior of the method to suit
its own needs.
Method Chaining
Method chaining is a technique in object-oriented programming where
multiple methods are called on an object in a single line of code.

 This can make the code more concise and readable.


Super Function
The super function is a built-in function in Python that allows a subclass to
call a method from its parent class.

 This is useful when we want to extend the functionality of a method in


the parent class without completely overriding it.
Abstract Class
An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated and is meant to be
subclassed.

 Abstract classes can define abstract methods, which are methods that
have no implementation in the abstract class but must be implemented
in its subclasses. # Main Topic: Python Concepts

Subtopic 1: Objects as Arguments


In Python, objects can be passed as arguments to functions. This allows for
flexibility and reusability of code.

Subtopic 2: Duck Typing


Duck typing is a concept in Python where the type or class of an object is
less important than the methods or attributes it possesses. If an object
behaves like a duck (i.e., it has the same methods and attributes as a
duck), then it can be considered a duck. This allows for dynamic typing and
polymorphism in Python.

Subtopic 3: Walrus Operator


The walrus operator (:=) is a new feature introduced in Python 3.8. It allows
you to assign a value to a variable as part of an expression. This can be
useful in situations where you want to assign a value to a variable and use
it in the same expression.

Subtopic 4: Functions to Variables


In Python, functions can be assigned to variables. This allows you to treat
functions as objects and pass them around as arguments, store them in
data structures, or assign them to other variables. This is a key feature of
higher-order functions.

Subtopic 5: Higher Order Functions


Higher-order functions are functions that can take other functions as
arguments or return functions as results. They provide a way to abstract
and generalize code, making it more reusable and modular. Examples of
higher-order functions in Python include map, filter, and reduce.

Subtopic 6: Lambda Functions


Lambda functions, also known as anonymous functions, are small, one-line
functions that don't have a name. They are defined using the lambda
keyword and can be used wherever a function object is required. Lambda
functions are often used in conjunction with higher-order functions like map,
filter, and reduce.

Subtopic 7: Sorting
Sorting is the process of arranging elements in a specific order. In Python,
the sort() method can be used to sort lists in ascending order. The sorted()
function can be used to sort any iterable and returns a new sorted list.

Subtopic 8: Map
The map() function in Python applies a given function to each item in an
iterable and returns an iterator that yields the results. It is commonly used
to transform or modify elements in a list.

Subtopic 9: Filter
The filter() function in Python applies a given function to each item in an
iterable and returns an iterator that yields the items for which the function
returns True. It is commonly used to filter out elements from a list based on
a condition.
Subtopic 10: Reduce
The reduce() function in Python applies a given function to the first two
elements of an iterable, then applies the same function to the result and the
next element, and so on, until a single value is obtained. It is commonly
used to perform cumulative operations on a list, such as finding the sum or
product of all elements.

Subtopic 11: List Comprehensions


List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists based on
existing lists or other iterables. They consist of an expression followed by a
for loop and optional if statements. List comprehensions can be used to
perform operations on each element of a list and filter elements based on
certain conditions.

Subtopic 12: Dictionary Comprehensions


Similar to list comprehensions, dictionary comprehensions provide a
concise way to create dictionaries based on existing dictionaries or other
iterables. They consist of key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces, followed
by a for loop and optional if statements. Dictionary comprehensions can be
used to transform or filter elements in a dictionary.

Subtopic 13: Zip Function


The zip() function in Python takes multiple iterables as arguments and
returns an iterator that aggregates elements from each iterable. It pairs up
corresponding elements from each iterable into tuples. This can be useful
for iterating over multiple lists simultaneously.

Subtopic 14: if name == 'main'


The if name == 'main' condition is used in Python to check if the current
script is being run directly or imported as a module. It allows you to specify
code that should only be executed when the script is run directly. This is
commonly used to define a main function or perform initialization tasks.

Subtopic 15: Time Module


The time module in Python provides functions for working with time-related
tasks. It can be used to measure the execution time of code, introduce
delays, or format time values. The time module is commonly used in
applications that require timing or scheduling.

Subtopic 16: Threading


Threading is a way to achieve concurrent execution in Python. It allows
multiple threads of execution to run concurrently within a single process.
Threads can be used to perform tasks in the background while the main
program continues to run. The threading module in Python provides
classes and functions for working with threads.
Subtopic 17: Daemon Threads
Daemon threads are a type of thread in Python that run in the background
and do not prevent the program from exiting. They are typically used for
tasks that need to run continuously or perform periodic checks. Daemon
threads automatically terminate when the main program exits.

Subtopic 18: Multiprocessing


Multiprocessing is a way to achieve parallel execution in Python. It allows
multiple processes to run concurrently, taking advantage of multiple CPU
cores. The multiprocessing module in Python provides classes and
functions for working with processes.

Subtopic 19: GUI Windows


GUI (Graphical User Interface) windows are windows that display visual
elements such as buttons, labels, and text fields. In Python, GUI windows
can be created using libraries such as Tkinter, PyQt, or PySide. They
provide a way to create interactive applications with buttons, menus, and
other graphical components.

Subtopic 20: Labels


Labels are GUI components used to display text or images in a window.
They can be used to provide information or instructions to the user. Labels
can be customized with different fonts, colors, and styles.

Subtopic 21: Buttons


Buttons are GUI components that can be clicked by the user to perform an
action. They are commonly used to trigger functions or events in a GUI
application. Buttons can be customized with text, images, or icons.

Subtopic 22: Entrybox


Entryboxes, also known as text fields or input fields, are GUI components
that allow the user to enter text or data. They are commonly used to get
user input in a GUI application. Entryboxes can be customized with default
text, validation rules, or input masks.

Subtopic 23: Checkbox


Checkboxes are GUI components that allow the user to select one or more
options from a list. They are commonly used to represent boolean values or
to enable/disable certain features in a GUI application. Checkboxes can be
customized with labels, default values, or event handlers.

Subtopic 24: Radio Buttons


Radio buttons are GUI components that allow the user to select one option
from a list. They are commonly used when only one option should be
selected at a time. Radio buttons can be grouped together to create
mutually exclusive options.

Subtopic 25: Scale


Scales, also known as sliders, are GUI components that allow the user to
select a value from a range. They are commonly used to adjust settings or
parameters in a GUI application. Scales can be customized with minimum
and maximum values, tick marks, or event handlers.

Subtopic 26: Listbox


Listboxes are GUI components that display a list of items from which the
user can select one or more options. They are commonly used to present a
set of choices or to display data in a structured format. Listboxes can be
customized with scrollbars, multiple selection modes, or event handlers.

Subtopic 27: Messagebox


Messageboxes are GUI components used to display messages or
notifications to the user. They can be used to show information, ask for
confirmation, or display error messages. Messageboxes can be customized
with different types of buttons and icons.

Subtopic 28: Colorchooser


Colorchoosers are GUI components that allow the user to select a color
from a color palette. They are commonly used in applications that require
color customization, such as drawing programs or image editors.
Colorchoosers can be customized with default colors, color modes, or
event handlers.

Subtopic 29: Text Area


Text areas are GUI components used to display and edit multiline text.
They are commonly used for inputting or displaying large amounts of text,
such as in text editors or chat applications. Text areas can be customized
with scrollbars, word wrapping, or text formatting options.

Subtopic 30: Open a File (File Dialog)


In Python, the file dialog is a GUI component that allows the user to select
a file from the file system. It provides a convenient way to open or save
files in a GUI application. The file dialog can be customized with filters,
default file names, or file types.

Variables
 Variables are used to store data in Python.
 They can hold different types of data such as numbers, strings, and
booleans.
 To assign a value to a variable, use the equal sign (=).
 Example: x = 5

String Methods
 String methods are built-in functions that can be used to manipulate
strings.
 Some common string methods include upper(), lower(), replace(),
and split().
 Example:

o name = "John"
o print(name.upper()) will output "JOHN"
o print(name.replace("J", "M")) will output "Monn"

Type Casting
 Type casting is the process of converting one data type to another.
 Python provides built-in functions to perform type casting, such as
int(), float(), and str().
 Example:

o x = 5
o y = str(x) will convert the integer 5 to a string "5"

User Input
 Python allows users to input data during program execution using the
input() function.
 The input() function takes a prompt as an argument and waits for the
user to enter data.
 Example:

o name = input("Enter your name: ")


o print("Hello, " + name) will output "Hello, [user's name]" # Main
Topic: Python Programming Concepts

Subtopic 1: Math Functions


Math functions in Python allow you to perform mathematical operations.
Some commonly used math functions include:

 abs(): returns the absolute value of a number


 round(): rounds a number to the nearest whole number
 max(): returns the largest number from a list of numbers
 min(): returns the smallest number from a list of numbers

Subtopic 2: String Slicing


String slicing is a way to extract a portion of a string in Python. It is done
using square brackets [] and the start and end indices of the desired
portion. For example:

 string[start:end]: returns the portion of the string from the start


index to the end index (excluding the end index)

Subtopic 3: If Statements
If statements are used in Python to make decisions based on certain
conditions. They allow you to execute different blocks of code depending
on whether a condition is true or false. The basic syntax of an if statement
is:
if condition:
# code to be executed if condition is true
else:
# code to be executed if condition is false

Subtopic 4: User Input


User input allows the user to enter data into a program while it is running.
In Python, the input() function is used to get user input. The input is
stored as a string by default, so if you need to use it as a number, you will
need to convert it using the appropriate data type.

Subtopic 5: Logical Operators


Logical operators in Python are used to combine multiple conditions and
evaluate them as a single condition. The three logical operators are:

 and: returns True if both conditions are true


 or: returns True if at least one of the conditions is true
 not: returns the opposite of the condition

 Generators are functions that can be paused and resumed.
 They are used to generate a sequence of values over time, rather than
computing them all at once.
 Generators use the yield keyword to return a value and pause the
function's execution.
 Example:
 def count_up_to(n):
 i = 0
 while i <= n:
 yield i
 i += 1

 numbers = count_up_to(5)
 print(next(numbers)) # 0
 print(next(numbers)) # 1
 print(next(numbers)) # 2

Loops

While Loops
 While loops are used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a
condition is true.
 Example:
 i = 0
 while i < 5:
 print(i)
 i += 1

For Loops
 For loops are used to iterate over a sequence (such as a list, tuple, or
string) or other iterable objects.
 Example:
 fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
 for fruit in fruits:
 print(fruit)

Nested Loops
 Nested loops are loops inside another loop.
 They are used to perform repetitive tasks with multiple levels of iteration.
 Example:
 for i in range(3):
 for j in range(2):
 print(i, j)

Break, Continue, Pass


 break is used to exit a loop prematurely.
 continue is used to skip the rest of the current iteration and move to
the next one.
 pass is used as a placeholder when no action is needed.
 Example:
 for i in range(5):
 if i == 3:
 break
 if i == 1:
 continue
 if i == 4:
 pass
 print(i)

Lists
 Lists are ordered, mutable collections of items.
 They can contain elements of different types.
 Lists are defined using square brackets [ ].
 Example:
 numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
 mixed = [1, "apple", True]

2D Lists
 2D lists, also known as nested lists, are lists that contain other lists as
elements.
 They are used to represent grids or matrices.
 Example:
 matrix = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
 print(matrix[0][1]) # 2

Tuples
 Tuples are ordered, immutable collections of items.
 They can contain elements of different types.
 Tuples are defined using parentheses ( ).
 Example:
 point = (3, 4)
 colors = ("red", "green", "blue")

Sets
 Sets are unordered collections of unique elements.
 They do not allow duplicate values.
 Sets are defined using curly braces { } or the set() function.
 Example:
 numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
 fruits = set(["apple", "banana", "cherry"])

Dictionaries
 Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs.
 They are used to store and retrieve data using keys.
 Dictionaries are defined using curly braces { } and colons : to separate
keys and values.
 Example:
 student = {"name": "John", "age": 20, "grade": "A"}
 print(student["name"]) # John

Indexing
 Indexing is used to access individual elements in a sequence or
collection.
 Indexing starts from 0 for the first element.
 Negative indexing can be used to access elements from the end of the
sequence.
 Example:
 numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 print(numbers[0]) # 1
 print(numbers[-1]) # 5

Functions
 Functions are blocks of reusable code that perform a specific task.
 They help in organizing code and making it more modular.
 Functions are defined using the def keyword followed by the function
name and parentheses.
 Example:
 def greet(name):
 print("Hello, " + name + "!")

 greet("Alice") # Hello, Alice!

Return Statement
 The return statement is used to specify the value that a function should
return.
 It ends the execution of the function and returns the specified value.
 Example:
 def add(a, b):
 return a + b

 result = add(3, 4)
 print(result) # 7

Keyword Arguments
 Keyword arguments are arguments passed to a function using their
parameter names.
 They allow for more flexibility and readability when calling functions.
 Example:
 def greet(name, message):
 print(message + ", " + name + "!")

 greet(name="Alice", message="Hello") # Hello, Alice!

Nested Function Calls


 Nested function calls occur when a function is called as an argument to
another function.
 The output of the inner function is used as an input for the outer
function.
 Example:
 def square(x):
 return x ** 2

 result = square(square(3))
 print(result) # 81

Variable Scope
 Variable scope refers to the part of the program where a variable is
accessible.
 Variables can have local scope (within a function) or global scope
(accessible throughout the program).
 Example:
 def my_function():
 x = 10 # local variable
 print(x)

 my_function() # 10

*args
 *args is used to pass a variable number of non-keyword arguments to a
function.
 It allows a function to accept any number of arguments.
 Example:
 def add(*args):
 total = 0
 for num in args:
 total += num
 return total

 result = add(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
 print(result) # 15

**kwargs
 **kwargs is used to pass a variable number of keyword arguments to a
function.
 It allows a function to accept any number of keyword arguments.
 Example:
 def greet(**kwargs):
 for key, value in kwargs.items():
 print(key + ": " + value)

 greet(name="Alice", age="25") # name: Alice, age: 25

String Format
 String format is used to insert values into a string.
 It allows for dynamic string creation by replacing placeholders with
actual values.
 Example:
 name = "Alice"
 age = 25
 message = "My name is {} and I am {} years
old.".format(name, age)
 print(message) # My name is Alice and I am 25 years old.

Random Numbers
 Random numbers are generated using the random module in Python.
 They are used in various applications such as games, simulations, and
cryptography.
 Example:
 import random

 number = random.randint(1, 10)
 print(number) # Random number between 1 and 10

Exception Handling
 Exception handling is used to handle errors or exceptional situations in a
program.
 It allows for graceful handling of errors without crashing the program.
 Example:
 try:
 result = 10 / 0
 print(result)
 except ZeroDivisionError:
 print("Cannot divide by zero")

File Detection
 File detection is used to check if a file exists before performing
operations on it.
 It helps in avoiding errors when working with files.
 Example:
 import os

 if os.path.exists("myfile.txt"):
 print("File exists")
 else:
 print("File does not exist")

Read a File
 Reading a file is done using the open() function and the read()
method.
 It allows for reading the contents of a file into a string or a list of lines.
 Example:
 file = open("myfile.txt", "r")
 content = file.read()
 print(content)
 file.close()

Write a File
 Writing to a file is done using the open() function and the write()
method.
 It allows for creating or overwriting the contents of a file.
 Example:
 file = open("myfile.txt", "w")
 file.write("Hello, world!")
 file.close()

Copy a File
 Copying a file is done using the shutil module in Python.
 It allows for creating a copy of a file in a different location.
 Example:
 import shutil

 shutil.copy("myfile.txt", "mycopy.txt")

Move a File
 Moving a file is done using the shutil module in Python.
 It allows for moving a file to a different directory or renaming it.
 Example:
 import shutil

 shutil.move("myfile.txt", "myfolder/myfile.txt")

Delete a File
 Deleting a file is done using the os module in Python.
 It allows for permanently removing a file from the file system.
 Example:
 import os

 os.remove("myfile.txt")

Modules
 Modules are files containing Python code that can be imported and used
in other programs.
 They help in organizing code and promoting code reuse.
 Example:
 import math

 result = math.sqrt(16)
 print(result) # 4.0

Rock, Paper, Scissors Game


 The rock, paper, scissors game is a simple game played between two
players.
 Each player chooses one of the three options, and the winner is
determined based on the rules.
 Example:
 import random

 options = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
 player1 = random.choice(options)
 player2 = random.choice(options)

 if player1 == player2:
 print("It's a tie!")
 elif (player1 == "rock" and player2 == "scissors") or
(player1 == "paper" and player2 == "rock") or (player1 ==
"scissors" and player2 == "paper"):
 print("Player 1 wins!")
 else:
 print("Player 2 wins!")
Quiz Game
 A quiz game is a program that asks questions and checks the answers
provided by the player.
 It can be used for educational purposes or entertainment.
 Example:
 questions = {
 "What is the capital of France?": "Paris",
 "Who painted the Mona Lisa?": "Leonardo da Vinci",
 "What is the largest planet in our solar system?":
"Jupiter"
 }

 score = 0
 for question, answer in questions.items():
 user_answer = input(question + " ")
 if user_answer.lower() == answer.lower():
 score += 1

 print("Your score is:", score)

Object Oriented Programming (OOP)


 Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that organizes
code into objects.
 It focuses on creating reusable and modular code by defining classes
and objects.
 Example:
 class Car:
 def __init__(self, brand, color):
 self.brand = brand
 self.color = color

 def drive(self):
 print("Driving the", self.color, self.brand)

 my_car = Car("Toyota", "red")
 my_car.drive() # Driving the red Toyota

Class Variables
 Class variables are variables that are shared by all instances of a class.
 They are defined outside of any method in the class and are accessed
using the class name.
 Example:
 class Circle:
 pi = 3.14

 def __init__(self, radius):
 self.radius = radius

 def calculate_area(self):
 return Circle.pi * self.radius ** 2

 my_circle = Circle(5)
 print(my_circle.calculate_area()) # 78.5

Inheritance
 Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming that allows
a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.
 It promotes code reuse and allows for creating more specialized
classes.
 Example:
 class Animal:
 def __init__(self, name):
 self.name = name

 def speak(self):
 print("The animal makes a sound")

 class Dog(Animal):
 def speak(self):
 print("The dog barks")

 my_dog = Dog("Buddy")
 my_dog.speak() # The dog barks

Multilevel Inheritance
 Multilevel inheritance is a type of inheritance where a derived class
inherits from another derived class.
 It allows for creating a hierarchy of classes with increasing
specialization.
 Example:
 class Animal:
 def __init__(self, name):
 self.name = name

 def speak(self):
 print("The animal makes a sound")

 class Dog(Animal):
 def speak(self):
 print("The dog barks")

 class Bulldog(Dog):
 def speak(self):
 print("The bulldog growls")

 my_bulldog = Bulldog("Rocky")
 my_bulldog.speak() # The bulldog growls
 ``` # Inheritance and Polymorphism

Multiple Inheritance
 A class can inherit from multiple parent classes.
 Allows a subclass to inherit attributes and methods from multiple
superclasses.
 Example:
class ClassA:
def methodA(self):
print("Method A")

class ClassB:
def methodB(self):
print("Method B")

class ClassC(ClassA, ClassB):


pass

obj = ClassC()
obj.methodA() # Output: Method A
obj.methodB() # Output: Method B

Method Overriding
 A subclass can provide a different implementation of a method that is
already defined in its superclass.
 The method in the subclass overrides the method in the superclass.
 Example:
class Parent:
def method(self):
print("Parent's method")

class Child(Parent):
def method(self):
print("Child's method")

obj = Child()
obj.method() # Output: Child's method

Method Chaining
 Invoking multiple methods in a single line of code.
 Each method returns an object, allowing the next method to be called on
it.
 Example:
class MyClass:
def method1(self):
print("Method 1")
return self

def method2(self):
print("Method 2")
return self

obj = MyClass()
obj.method1().method2() # Output: Method 1, Method 2

Super Function
 Used to call a method from the superclass.
 Allows access to the methods and attributes of the superclass.
 Example:
class Parent:
def method(self):
print("Parent's method")

class Child(Parent):
def method(self):
super().method()
print("Child's method")

obj = Child()
obj.method()
# Output:
# Parent's method
# Child's method
Abstract Classes and Duck Typing

Abstract Classes
 A class that cannot be instantiated and is meant to be subclassed.
 Contains one or more abstract methods that must be implemented by its
subclasses.
 Example:
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class AbstractClass(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def method(self):
pass

class ConcreteClass(AbstractClass):
def method(self):
print("Implemented method")

obj = ConcreteClass()
obj.method() # Output: Implemented method

Objects as Arguments
 Objects can be passed as arguments to functions or methods.
 Allows functions to operate on different types of objects.
 Example:
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value

def my_function(obj):
print(obj.value)

obj = MyClass(10)
my_function(obj) # Output: 10

Duck Typing
 Focuses on the behavior of an object rather than its type.
 If an object walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is considered a
duck.
 Example:
class Duck:
def walk(self):
print("Walking")

def quack(self):
print("Quacking")

class Robot:
def walk(self):
print("Walking")

def quack(self):
print("Quacking")

def perform_actions(obj):
obj.walk()
obj.quack()

duck = Duck()
robot = Robot()

perform_actions(duck) # Output: Walking, Quacking


perform_actions(robot) # Output: Walking, Quacking
Functions and Functional Programming

Functions to Variables
 Functions can be assigned to variables.
 The variable can then be used to call the function.
 Example:
def greet():
print("Hello")

my_function = greet
my_function() # Output: Hello

Higher Order Functions


 Functions that take other functions as arguments or return functions as
results.
 Allows for more flexible and modular code.
 Example:
def add(a, b):
return a + b

def subtract(a, b):


return a - b

def calculate(operation, a, b):


return operation(a, b)

result = calculate(add, 5, 3) # Output: 8

Lambda Functions
 Anonymous functions that can be defined in a single line.
 Used for simple and short operations.
 Example:
add = lambda a, b: a + b
result = add(5, 3) # Output: 8

Sort
 Sorts a list in ascending or descending order.
 Modifies the original list.
 Example:
numbers = [3, 1, 2]
numbers.sort()
print(numbers) # Output: [1, 2, 3]

Map
 Applies a function to each element in a list.
 Returns a new list with the modified elements.
 Example:
numbers = [1, 2, 3]
squared = list(map(lambda x: x**2, numbers))
print(squared) # Output: [1, 4, 9]

Filter
 Filters elements from a list based on a condition.
 Returns a new list with the filtered elements.
 Example:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
even = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, numbers))
print(even) # Output: [2, 4]

Reduce
 Applies a function to the elements of a list in a cumulative way.
 Returns a single value.
 Example:
from functools import reduce

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
product = reduce(lambda x, y: x * y, numbers)
print(product) # Output: 120

List Comprehensions
 Concise way to create lists based on existing lists.
 Combines for loops and conditional statements into a single line.
 Example:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
squared = [x**2 for x in numbers if x % 2 == 0]
print(squared) # Output: [4, 16]

Dictionary Comprehensions
 Similar to list comprehensions, but creates dictionaries instead.
 Example:
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
squared_dict = {x: x**2 for x in numbers}
print(squared_dict) # Output: {1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5:
25}
Miscellaneous Concepts

Zip Function
 Combines multiple iterables into a single iterable.
 Returns an iterator of tuples, where each tuple contains the
corresponding elements from the input iterables.
 Example:
names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
ages = [25, 30, 35]
zipped = list(zip(names, ages))
print(zipped) # Output: [('Alice', 25), ('Bob', 30),
('Charlie', 35)]

if name == 'main'
 Used to check if the current module is being run as the main program.
 Allows the module to be imported and used by other modules without
executing the code inside the if statement.
 Example:
def my_function():
print("Hello")

if __name__ == '__main__':
my_function() # Only executed when running this module
directly

Time Module
 Provides various functions to work with time.
 Allows for measuring time, delaying execution, and formatting time.
 Example:
import time

start_time = time.time()
time.sleep(2)
end_time = time.time()

elapsed_time = end_time - start_time


print(f"Elapsed time: {elapsed_time} seconds")

Threading
 Allows for concurrent execution of multiple threads within a process.
 Useful for tasks that can be executed independently and simultaneously.
 Example:
import threading

def print_numbers():
for i in range(1, 6):
print(i)

def print_letters():
for letter in "ABCDE":
print(letter)
thread1 = threading.Thread(target=print_numbers)
thread2 = threading.Thread(target=print_letters)

thread1.start()
thread2.start()

Daemon Threads
 Threads that run in the background and do not prevent the program
from exiting.
 Automatically terminated when the main program finishes.
 Example:
import threading
import time

def count():
for i in range(1, 6):
print(i)
time.sleep(1)

thread = threading.Thread(target=count)
thread.daemon = True
thread.start()

Multiprocessing
 Allows for the execution of multiple processes in parallel.
 Useful for CPU-intensive tasks that can benefit from utilizing multiple
cores.
 Example:
import multiprocessing

def square(number):
return number**2

pool = multiprocessing.Pool()
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
squared = pool.map(square, numbers)
print(squared) # Output: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]
