Module 1 Cheat Sheet: Python Basics

Package/Method Description Code Example

Comments are lines of text that are ignored by the Python interpreter when # This is a comment
Comments
executing the code<./td>

Syntax:
concatenated_string = string1 + string2
Concatenation Combines (concatenates) strings.
Example:
result = "Hello" + " John"</td>

Example:
x=7
# Integer Value
y=12.4
# Float Value
Data Types - Integer - Float - Boolean - String is_valid = True
# Boolean Value
is_valid = False
# Boolean Value
F_Name = "John"
# String Value

Example:
Indexing Accesses character at a specific index. my_string="Hello"
char = my_string[0]

Syntax:
len(string_name)

len() Returns the length of a string. Example:

my_string="Hello"
length = len(my_string)

Example:
lower() Converts string to lowercase. my_string="Hello"
uppercase_text = my_string.lower()

Example:
print() Prints the message or variable inside `()`. print("Hello, world")
print(a+b)

Example:
- Addition (+): Adds two values together.
- Subtraction (-): Subtracts one value from another. x = 9 y = 4
- Multiplication (*): Multiplies two values. result_add= x + y # Addition
Python Operators - Division (/): Divides one value by another, returns a float. result_sub= x - y # Subtraction
result_mul= x * y # Multiplication
- Floor Division (//): Divides one value by another, returns the quotient as an result_div= x / y # Division
integer. result_fdiv= x // y # Floor Division
- Modulo (%): Returns the remainder after division. result_mod= x % y # Modulo</td>

Example:
replace() Replaces substrings. my_string="Hello"
new_text = my_string.replace("Hello", "Hi")

Syntax:
substring = string_name[start:end]
Slicing Extracts a portion of the string.
Example:

my_string="Hello" substring = my_string[0:5]

Example:
split() Splits string into a list based on a delimiter. my_string="Hello"
split_text = my_string.split(",")

strip() Removes leading/trailing whitespace. Example:

my_string="Hello"

about:blank 1/2
12/10/24, 2:12 PM about:blank
trimmed = my_string.strip()

Example:
upper() Converts string to uppercase. my_string="Hello"
uppercase_text = my_string.upper()

Syntax:
variable_name = value
Variable
Assigns a value to a variable. Example:
Assignment
name="John" # assigning John to variable name
x = 5 # assigning 5 to variable x
