Main Ideas, Concepts, and Lessons

1. Swapping Two Numbers in Python

• Input two numbers from the user using input() function.
• By default, input() returns a string; use int() for type casting to integer.
• Swap numbers using:
  • A third variable.
  • Without using a third variable (using arithmetic operations).
• Example:

  x = int(input("Enter first number: "))
  y = int(input("Enter second number: "))
  z = x
  x = y
  y = z
  

• Or without third variable:

  x = x + y
  y = x - y
  x = x - y
  

2. Data Types in Python

• Python data types classify values and operations allowed on them.
• Major data types:
  • Numeric Types: int, float, complex
    • int: unlimited length, positive/negative integers.
    • float: decimal numbers, up to 15 decimal places.
    • complex: numbers with real and imaginary parts.
  • Sequence Types: string, list, tuple
    • String: sequence of characters enclosed in single, double, or triple quotes.
    • List: ordered, mutable collection of items (can be mixed types).
    • Tuple: ordered, immutable collection of items.
  • Dictionary: key-value pairs, keys are unique.
  • Boolean: True or False.
  • Set: unordered collection, no duplicates, immutable once created.

3. Strings and String Operations

• Strings can be indexed and sliced using zero-based indexing.
• Strings can be concatenated and repeated using + and *.
• Examples of slicing and indexing explained.
• Strings can be enclosed in single, double, or triple quotes.

4. Lists and Tuples

• Lists: mutable, ordered collections. Elements can be accessed by index.
• Tuples: immutable, ordered collections. Cannot be modified after creation.
• Tuples use parentheses (), lists use square brackets [].
• Operations like concatenation and repetition also apply.

5. Dictionaries

• Store data as key-value pairs.
• Keys must be unique.
• Access values via keys.
• Methods like .keys() and .values() return keys and values respectively.

6. Boolean Data Type

• Holds values True or False.
• Useful in decision-making and conditional statements.

7. Sets

• Unordered collections with no duplicate elements.
• Created using curly braces {}.
• Immutable after creation; to change, delete and create a new set.

8. Type Conversion

• Implicit Conversion (Type Coercion): Automatically done by Python (e.g., int to float).
• Explicit Conversion (Type Casting): Manually done by user using functions like int(), float(), str().
• Example converting binary string to int with base specification.

9. Variables: Local vs Global

• Local Variables: Declared inside a function, accessible only within that function.
• Global Variables: Declared outside functions, accessible throughout the program.
• Scope and lifetime explained.

10. Input Function

• input() reads user input as string.
• Use int(input()) to convert input to integer.

11. Features of Python

• Interpreted, high-level, object-oriented language.
• Portable across operating systems.
• Dynamically typed (no need to declare variable types explicitly).
• Easy to debug and write.
• No need for semicolons at the end of statements (unlike C/C++).

12. Operators in Python

• Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, % (modulus), // (floor division), ** (exponentiation).
• Comparison (Relational) Operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=.
• Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=, etc.
• Logical Operators: and, or, not.
• Bitwise Operators: & (AND), | (OR), ^ (XOR), ~ (NOT), << (left shift), >> (right shift).
