Summary of "Tutorial 2 - Python List and Boolean Variables"
Main Ideas and Concepts
-
Boolean Variables
- Boolean Variables can hold two constant values:
TrueandFalse. - They are used to represent truth values in Logical Operations.
- The
bool()function is used to create Boolean Variables. - Other built-in functions include
TrueandFalse.
- Boolean Variables can hold two constant values:
-
Logical Operations
- Boolean outputs are either
TrueorFalse. - Common logical operators include:
AND: ReturnsTrueonly if both operands areTrue.OR: ReturnsTrueif at least one operand isTrue.
- Various Logical Operations can be performed using Boolean Variables.
- Boolean outputs are either
- Lists
-
List Operations
- Creating Lists: Lists can be created using square brackets or the
list()function. - Appending Items: The
append()()method adds an item to the end of a list. - Inserting Items: The
insert()(index, value)method allows adding an item at a specific index. - Extending Lists: The
extend()()method adds multiple items to a list. - Removing Items: The
pop()()method removes items from a list, either from the end or a specified index. - Counting and Finding Items: The
count()method counts occurrences of an item, while theindex()method finds the first occurrence of an item.
- Creating Lists: Lists can be created using square brackets or the
-
Examples of Built-in Functions
- The video demonstrates various built-in functions for strings and Lists, such as
isalpha(),isdigit(),length(),min(), andmax(). - It emphasizes the importance of using Google for looking up functions and methods rather than memorizing everything.
- The video demonstrates various built-in functions for strings and Lists, such as
Methodology / Instructions
- Creating a Boolean Variable:
- Use
bool()function or directly assignTrueorFalse.
- Use
- Performing Logical Operations:
- Use logical operators (
and,or) to evaluate conditions.
- Use logical operators (
- Creating and Manipulating Lists:
- Create a list:
my_list = [item1, item2, ...] - append() an item:
my_list.append()(item) - insert() an item:
my_list.insert()(index, item) - extend() a list:
my_list.extend()([item1, item2, ...]) - Remove an item:
my_list.pop()(index)ormy_list.pop()()for the last item. - Count occurrences:
my_list.count(item) - Find index:
my_list.index(item)
- Create a list:
