3
What is Python?
What is Python?
• General purpose coding language
• Easy to learn and use
• Free!

5
Why are we using Python?
• Easy to read
• Huge repository of Libraries to use
• Flexible
• Quick to see results

Do you know of any other Programming Language?

6
Applications of Python

Here are some examples

• Data Science
• Business
• Games
• Artificial Intelligence

7
Getting Started

Applications

• Jupyter Notebook
Jupyter Notebook
• Anaconda
• repl.it
• Google Colab

Google Colab

• Locate [Notebook - student] Module 3 (Introduction to Python).ipynb
• Let’s Begin!

11
Refer to your Notebook in Google Colab

Introduction to Python - Let’s Begin!

12
Python Comments
• Use the # symbol
• Everything after # in the same line will be a comment

13
Python Data Types
• Variables are “containers” for storing data values
• No need to declare variables in Python
• But an assigned value has a type

14
Numbers
• Syntax is similar to other programming languages
• Parentheses used for grouping, order or precedence

15
Lists
• Are an ordered sequence of items
• Can contain different data types

16
Strings
• Strings are a sequence of characters
• Python has functionality to manipulate strings

17
Data manipulation
• String concatenation
• Indexing
• Slicing

18
Tuples
• Are an ordered sequence of items
• Cannot be modified unlike Lists

19
Dictionary
• Unordered collection of key-value pairs
• Like a real dictionary, you look up a key to get its value
• Keys must be unique, values do not

20
Type Conversion
• Changing of one data type to another
• Implicit
• Explicit

21
Reflections
• What are the different data types we’ve seen and how are
they different from each other?
• Let’s discuss!

22
Flow Control
• If-else statements & loops
• Requires a condition
• Think of a traffic light, codes are only work when its “green”

23
Python Functions
• Looks neater
• Is a block of code
• Facilitates code reusability

24
Python Modules
• A File containing Python statements and definitions file.py
• Code manageability
• Facilitates code reusability

25
Python Packages
• Organized group of modules
• Works like a folder containing multiple documents
• Must contain an initialization file init.py

26
Let’s play Kahoot!

Let’s do the exercises

Things to do
• Attempt the Exercises
• Can you tackle the bonus exercise?
• Feel free to use the Internet to look for
resources to complete the exercises

28
Reflections
• In what way would flow control be useful?
• Let’s discuss!

29
Any last words?

In the next module we will be diving into Python libraries to help us


with developing AI applications! Are you excited?
