Computer notes for HSSC exam

 

BASIC OF PYTHON LANGUAGE ( ONLY FOR HSSC CONCERN )

* Python is a high level language. It is a free and open source language

*. Object oriented programming
                      
* It is an interpreted language, as Python programs are executed by an interpreter.

 * Python programs are easy to understand as they have a clearly defined syntax and relatively simple structure.

* Python is case-sensitive. For example, NUMBER and number are not same in Python.

* We need Python shell for RUN and WRITE the program.



 

Working mode of Python

1 Interactive mode

2 script mode

 

1 Interactive mode

 In interactive mode, on writing statement in python, interpreter displays the results immediately.

 On input immediately response the output

for example

 

>>>print”saraswati academy”

             Saraswati academy

 

>>>  symbol is known as python prompt.

We another example

>>>x=10

>>>y=20

>>>x+y

30

Features of interactive mode


1 This mode is good enough to learn, experiment.

2 this mode is good enough to learn experiment or explore.

3 But we cannot save the statements and have to retype all statement again and again.

 

Script mode

In this mode we first type the program in a file , save it and then use interpreter to execute the  content of the file.

File name have extension    “.py “

It is use for lengthy program, for saving the record further  use. Research and  development.

Example

A=input(“enter 1st  number)

B=input(“ enter 2nd  number)

Print “quotient”, a/b

Python keyword:

* Keywords are reserved words.                               

 *Each keyword has a specific meaning to the Python interpreter

 *we can use a keyword in our program only for the purpose for which it has been defined.

 

Example – false, true, def,is, return, try,  else , if , or, with lambda, for, while   etc.

Identifiers:

*Used to identify the variable, function or other identities in program.

*The name should begin with an uppercase or a lowercase alphabet or an underscore sign (_).

*This may be followed by any combination of characters a–z, A–Z, 0–9 or underscore (_).

*Thus, an identifier cannot start with a digit. 

 *It can be of any length. (However, it is preferred to keep it short and meaningful). 

 *It should not be a keyword or reserved word.

 *We cannot use special symbols like !, @, #, $, %, etc., in identifiers.

For example, to find the average of marks obtained by a student in three subjects, we can choose the identifiers as marks1, marks2, marks3 and avg rather than a, b, c, or A, B, C. avg = (marks1 + marks2 + marks3)/3
