When you are ready to write your first program, you will need a text editor or an IDE. If you don't want to use Thonny or something more advanced, then you can use IDLE , which is bundled with Python and supports extensions. This Python wiki also contains a page about Python One-Liners -- an obscure but interesting subculture in Python.
Need Help? Need help with any of this? Most Python books will include an introduction to the language; see IntroductoryBooks for suggested titles.
Or, if you prefer to learn Python through listening to a lecture, you can attend a training course or even hire a trainer to come to your company. Consult the PythonEvents page to see if any training courses are scheduled in your area and the PythonTraining page for a list of trainers.
The first place to look is the Python Package Index. If you can't find anything relevant in the Package Index, try searching python. More info: where to search. Click on "Close". Install the command line tools by running the following in your terminal. After installing Homebrew, run the following brew commands to install Python 3. Installing Python 3 on Linux To install using apt , available in Ubuntu and Debian, enter the following: sudo apt install python3 To install using yum , available in RedHat and CentOS, enter the following: sudo yum install python3 Running Code You can run Python code directly in the terminal as commands or you can save the code in a file with the.
Terminal Running commands directly in the terminal is recommended when you want to run something simple. Python 3. The language avoids using unnecessary characters to indicate some specificity. Semicolons Python doesn't use semicolons to finish lines. The print method will display something. In this example, we have two commands that will display the messages inside the single quotes.
Python's interpreter uses only indentation to define when a scope ends and another one starts. This means name stores 'Renan' and Name stores 'Moura'. Comments Finally, to comment something in your code, use the hash mark. The commented part does not influence the program flow. Comments The purpose of comments is to explain what is happening in the code. Comments are written along with your code but do not influence your program flow.
How to Write Comments in Python The syntax of comments in Python is rather easy: just use the hash mark symbol in front of the text you want to be a comment. This is a comment and it won't influence my program flow You can use a comment to explain what some piece of code does. In these cases, you can use multiline comments. To do that, just use a single hash mark for each line.
That's what variables are for. The moment you assign a value, the variable is created in memory. The interpreter infers the typing based on the value assigned.
If you need it, you can also re-declare a variable just by changing its value. If I have a variable called name I don't expect it to have a number stored in it.
Naming Conventions Let's continue from the last section when I talked about meaning and context. Don't use random variable names like x or y. Types To store data in Python you need to use a variable. Determining the Type First of all, let's learn how to determine the data type.
A boolean type variable can only represent either True or False. Concatenation is when you have two or more strings and you want to join them into one. The len function returns the length of a string. There is just one difference: a tuple is immutable. A key point when using sets: they don't allow repetition of an item. Explicit conversion To cast a variable to a string just use the str function.
In some cases you don't need to do the conversion explicitly, since Python can do it by itself. Implicit conversion The example below shows implicit conversion when adding an int and a float. Arithmetic Operators Arithmetic operators are the most common type of operators and also the most recognizable ones. They allow you to perform simple mathematical operations.
This useful when you have information in multiple variables and want to combine them. These operators return either True or False. The other operators are simple shorthands for the Arithmetic Operators. They are: and : True only when both statements are true or : False only when both x and y are false not : The not operator simply inverts the input, True becomes False and vice versa.
Let's see a program that shows how each one is used. They are: in : returns True if the object is present not in : returns True if the object is not present Let's see a program that shows how each one is used. They allow you to control the program flow according to specific conditions you can check. The if statement The way you implement a conditional is through the if statement.
The general form of an if statement is: if expression: statement The expression contains some logic that returns a boolean, and the statement is executed only if the return is True.
Since the condition returns True , the phrase will be printed on the console. The if else and elif statements In our last example, the program only does something if the condition returns True. Once again we changed their ages and now both are 32 years old. Notice you can have as many elif s as you want, just put them in sequence.
Nested conditionals You might need to check more than one conditional for something to happen. In this case, you can nest your if statements. This way, your code is smaller, more readable and easier to maintain. It's very handy for simple conditions.
The easy way to remember how the condition is evaluated is to read it in plain English. Lists As promised in the Types section, this section and the next three about Tuples, Sets, and Dictionaries will have more in depth explanations of each of them since they are very important and broadly used structures in Python to organize and deal with data.
Remember that the index starts at 0. So to access the second item use the index 1. This means that if you try to add an item, you will see an error.
Retrieving in a Tuple Use the index to reference the item. You have to either add or delete an item. Deleting in a Dictionary To remove Bob from the dictionary: people. There are two types of loops: for and while.
You will learn about for loops in the next section. Basic Syntax The basic syntax of a while loop is as below. The square of a number is The example below takes each value of number and calculates its squared value. The loop will go on until number initialized with 1 is less than or equal to 5. How to break out of a while loop in Python Simply use the break keyword, and the loop will stop its execution. How to skip an item in a while loop The continue will do that for you.
The most important difference is that you can easily iterate over sequential types. Basic Syntax The basic syntax of a for loop is as below.
This code will loop through the numbers 0 to 5 and print each of them. Here we are starting in 5 and a stoping in The number you set to stop is not included.
How to break out of a for loop in Python Simply use the break keyword, and the loop will stop its execution. How to skip an item in a for loop In this section, we'll learn how continue can do this for you. To iterate over these lists, you need nested for loops. I will briefly demonstrate how to make a basic loop over each one of them. And functions help organize the code. Functions are a handy way to create blocks of code that you can reuse.
Definition and Calling In Python use the def keyword to define a function. Give it a name and use parentheses to inform 0 or more arguments. In the line after the declaration starts, remember to indent the block of code. To call the function just use its name as defined. One Argument To specify one parameter, just define it inside the parentheses.
The value of the argument is then accessible inside the function to be used. Default value. The alternative is if you use keyword or named arguments. This example takes strings as arguments. There are two types of scope: local and global. Global Scope A global scope allows you to use the variable anywhere in your program. If your variable is outside a function, it has global scope by default.
Local Scope When you declare a variable inside a function, it only exists inside that function and can't be accessed from the outside. Mixing Scopes If you use the same name for variables inside and outside a function, the function will use the one inside its scope.
Lambda functions are also anonymous, which means there is no need to name them. Basic Syntax The basic syntax is very simple: just use the lambda keyword, define the parameters needed, and use ":" to separate the parameters from the expression. The declaration of the function and the execution will happen in the same line. Let's calculate the cubic of each number in the list.
Let's filter to have only the numbers greater than 5. To make it easier to organize the code we use Modules. Failing that, just Google for a phrase including the word ''python'' and you may well get the result you need. If all else fails, ask on the python newsgroup and there's a good chance someone will put you on the right track.
If you have a question, it's a good idea to try the FAQ , which answers the most commonly asked questions about Python. If you want to help to develop Python, take a look at the developer area for further information. Please note that you don't have to be an expert programmer to help. The documentation is just as important as the compiler, and still needs plenty of work! Note that the python. MacOS from MacOS after For Debian or Ubuntu , install the python3. For other systems , or if you want to install from source , see the general download page.
