Lists ,String , Tuples

  • String Mutation
  • Mutable and Immutable
  • Lists are ordered collection, where each item can be of different type
  • Tuples is like lists where [] is replaced by () ,and elements are seprated by commas
  • Tuples is Immutable

String Indexing in Python

# Printing or assigning multiline string
s="""Multiline
     String
      """
print(s)
lst=["hello", 2.0, 5, [10, 20]]
print(lst)
ls=(1,2,3)
print(type(ls))

#Printing the class character of the  Python String  
print(lst[len(lst)-1])
#or 
print(lst[-1])
#or Printing it in reverse 
print(lst[::-1])

s = "python rocks"
print(s[2] + s[-4])

# Predict the output  
L = [0.34, '6', 'SI106', 'Python', -2]
print(len(L[1:-1]))
Multiline
     String

['hello', 2.0, 5, [10, 20]]

The Slice Operator

[starting_index:ending_index]

When we take a slice of something, it includes the item at the first index and excludes the item at the second index.

fruit = "banana"
print(fruit[:3])
print(fruit[3:])
print(fruit[:])
ban
ana
banana

String Count Operator

a = "I have had an apple on my desk before!"
print(a.count("e"))
print(a.count("ha"))
z = ['atoms', 4, 'neutron', 6, 'proton', 4, 'electron', 4, 'electron', 'atoms',[]]
print(z.count("4"))
print(z.count(4))
print(z.index("neutron"))
print(z.index([]))
print(a.index("ha"))

Splitting and Joining Strings

# splitting the string into list 
song = "The rain in Spain..."
wds = song.split()
wds = song.split('ai')
print(wds)
#joining the String

['The r', 'n in Sp', 'n...']

Conditional Statement

a=3
if a<10:
    if a<9:
        print("Check")
    elif a>0:
        print("fail")

else:
    print("none")
Check

The in and not in operators

print('p' in 'apple')
print('ap' in 'apple')
print('pa' in 'apple')
print('x' not in 'apple')
print("a" in ["a", "b", "c", "d"])
print(9 in [3, 2, 9, 10, 9.0])
print('wow' not in ['gee wiz', 'gosh golly', 'wow', 'amazing'])

True

Adding and Removing Items from List

fruit = ["banana", "apple", "cherry"]
fruit[0] = "pear"
fruit[-1] = "orange"
fruit[1:2]= ['x', 'y']
print(fruit)
#Good one
fruit[1:2]="12"
print(fruit)
['pear', 'x', 'y', 'orange']
['pear', '1', '2', 'y', 'orange']

Strings are Immutable

greeting = "Hello, world!"l
greeting[0] = 'J'            # ERROR!

List Element Deletion

alist = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f']
del alist[2:5]
del alist[1]
print(alist)
['a', 'f']

Objects and References

a = "banana"
b = "banana"
print(id(a)) # element id
print(id(b))
print(a is b)
139843332398384
139843332398384
True

Aliasing

a = [81, 82, 83]
b = a
print(a is b)
True
alist = [4,2,8,6,5]
blist = alist * 2
print(blist)
[4, 2, 8, 6, 5, 4, 2, 8, 6, 5]

Mutating Methods

count(item) -> Returns the number of occurrences of item

mylist = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
mylist.append(5)
mylist.insert(1, 12)
print(mylist.index(3))
print(mylist.count(5))
mylist.reverse()
mylist.sort()
del mylist[-1] #index value
mylist.remove(5) #works with strings and value
lastitem = mylist.pop()
3
2

Non-mutating Methods on Strings

strip ->Returns a string with the leading and trailing whitespace removed\ replace(old, new) -> Replaces all occurrences of old substring with new

ss = "Hello, World "
print(ss.upper())
tt = ss.lower()
print("***"+ss.strip()+"***")
news = ss.replace("o", "***")
HELLO, WORLD 
***Hello, World***

String Format Method

scores = [("Rodney Dangerfield", -1), ("Marlon Brando", 1), ("You", 100)]
for person in scores:
    name = person[0]
    score = person[1]
    print("Hello " + name + ". Your score is " + str(score))
Hello Rodney Dangerfield. Your score is -1
Hello Marlon Brando. Your score is 1
Hello You. Your score is 100

String Example-2 **

origPrice = float(input('Enter the original price: $'))
discount = float(input('Enter discount percentage: '))
newPrice = (1 - discount/100)*origPrice
calculation = '${:.2f} discounted by {}% is ${:.2f}.'.format(origPrice, discount, newPrice)
print(calculation)
Enter the original price: $1
Enter discount percentage: 1
$1.00 discounted by 1.0% is $0.99.

String Example-3

winners = ['Alice Munro', 'Alvin E. Roth', 'Kazuo Ishiguro', 'Malala Yousafzai', 'Rainer Weiss', 'Youyou Tu']
winners.sort()
winners.reverse()
print(winners)
['Youyou Tu', 'Rainer Weiss', 'Malala Yousafzai', 'Kazuo Ishiguro', 'Alvin E. Roth', 'Alice Munro']

String Example-4

numbs = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]

for i in range(len(numbs)):
    a=numbs[i]
    numbs[i]=a+5

[10, 15, 20, 25, 30]

String Example ****-5

s = "ball"
r = ""
for item in s:
   r = item.upper() + r
print(r)

Python Functions, Files, and Dictionaries

Opening a File

fileref = open("filename.txt", "r")
fileref.close()

Reading from a file

  • file_variable.write("Text") , adds it to the end of the file
  • file_variable.read(n) , returns the string of 'n' characters or the entire file
  • file_variable.readline() , returns the string upto the newline
  • file_variable.readlines() , returns a list of string upto the newline

Number of Lines in a Python File

num_lines = sum(1 for line in open('travel_plans2.txt'))
#or
num_lines= len(open("travel_plans2.txt").readlines(  ))

Using with to Open Files

  • When the program exits the with block, the context manager handles the common stuff that normally happens at the end, in our case closing a file
with open('mydata.txt', 'r') as md:
    for line in md:
        print(line)
# continue on with other code

Writing data to a CSV File

olympians = [("John Aalberg", 31, "Cross Country Skiing"),
             ("Minna Maarit Aalto", 30, "Sailing"),
             ("Win Valdemar Aaltonen", 54, "Art Competitions"),
             ("Wakako Abe", 18, "Cycling")]

outfile = open("reduced_olympics.csv", "w")
# output the header row
outfile.write('Name,Age,Sport')
outfile.write('\n')
# output each of the rows:
for olympian in olympians:
    row_string = '{},{},{}'.format(olympian[0], olympian[1], olympian[2])
    outfile.write(row_string)
    outfile.write('\n')
outfile.close()

Dictionaries

# Creating an Empty Dictionary 
d={}
# Creating an Empty List
l=[]

#Creating a dictionary with some elements
eng2sp = {'three': 'tres', 'one': 'uno', 'two': 2}
print(eng2sp)
{'three': 'tres', 'one': 'uno', 'two': 'dos'}

Operations on Dictionary

  • Dictionaries are mutable
# delete
eng2sp['two']=0
del eng2sp['two']
# append
eng2sp['two']=3
eng2sp['two']=eng2sp['two']+2
print(eng2sp)
print(len(eng2sp))

{'three': 'tres', 'one': 'uno', 'entry': 0, 'two': 5}
4
# iterating over elements in the dictionary
# Keys are not iterated in the order always
for i in eng2sp.keys():
    print(i)
for i in eng2sp.values():
    print(i)
three
one
entry
two
tres
uno
0
5

Converting the the dictionary into the List

# list of all the keys
l=list(eng2sp.keys())
print(l)
# list of all the values
l=list(eng2sp.values()) #values , items are same
print(l)
['three', 'one', 'entry', 'two']
['tres', 'uno', 0, 5]

The in and not in operators can test if a key is in the dictionary

inventory = {'apples': 430, 'bananas': 312, 'oranges': 525, 'pears': 217}
if 'bananas' in inventory:
    print(inventory['bananas'])
312

The GET() method for Dictionary

print(inventory.get("cherries"))
print(inventory.get("cherries",0))
None
0

Aliasing and Copying

  • Whenever two variables refer to the same dictionary object, changes to one affect the other
opposites = {'up': 'down', 'right': 'wrong', 'true': 'false'}
alias = opposites
print(alias)
del opposites['up']
print(alias)
acopy=alias.copy()
del alias['true']
print(acopy)
{'up': 'down', 'right': 'wrong', 'true': 'false'}
{'right': 'wrong', 'true': 'false'}
{'right': 'wrong', 'true': 'false'}

Creating N-gram count of every character the book

#f = open('scarlet.txt', 'r')
#txt = f.read()
txt="THis is the sample text to feed in the word processor"
# now txt is one long string containing all the characters
x = {} # start with an empty dictionary
for c in txt:
    if c not in x:
        # we have not seen this character before, so initialize a counter for it
        x[c] = 0

    #whether we've seen it before or not, increment its counter
    x[c] = x[c] + 1

print("t: " + str(x['t']) + " occurrences")
print("s: " + str(x['s']) + " occurrences")
t: 5 occurrences
s: 5 occurrences
product = "iphone and android phones"
l=product.split()
lett_d={}
max_value=0
for i in l:
    for a in i:
        if a not in lett_d:
            lett_d[a]=1
        else:
            lett_d[a]=lett_d[a]+1
print(lett_d)
tmp=list(lett_d.values())
tmp=max(tmp)
print(tmp)
max_value=None
for i in lett_d:
    if lett_d[i]==tmp:
        max_value=i
        break
print(max_value)
{'i': 2, 'p': 2, 'h': 2, 'o': 3, 'n': 4, 'e': 2, 'a': 2, 'd': 3, 'r': 1, 's': 1}
4
n

Function docstring

def sample_function():
    """this will serve as function name and example in IDE Intellisense"""
    print("Hello World")

sample_function()
print(type(sample_function))
Hello World
<class 'function'>

Function Returning Value

def square(x):
    y = x * x
    return y

toSquare = 10
result = square(toSquare)
print("The result of {} squared is {}.".format(toSquare, result))

The result of 10 squared is 100.

Tuples

  • Wherever python expects a single value, if multiple expressions are provided, separated by commas, they are automatically packed into a tuple
julia = ("Julia", "Roberts", 1967, "Duplicity", 2009, "Actress", "Atlanta, Georgia")
# or equivalently
julia = "Julia", "Roberts", 1967, "Duplicity", 2009, "Actress", "Atlanta, Georgia"
print(julia[4])

Tuples as Return Values

  • Functions can return tuples as return values.
def circleInfo(r):
    """ Return (circumference, area) of a circle of radius r """
    c = 2 * 3.14159 * r
    a = 3.14159 * r * r
    return (c, a)

print(circleInfo(10))

Tuple Assignment with Unpacking

julia = "Julia", "Roberts", 1967, "Duplicity", 2009, "Actress", "Atlanta, Georgia"

name, surname, birth_year, movie, movie_year, profession, birth_place = julia

Swapping Values between Variables

a = 1
b = 2
(a, b) = (b, a)
print(a, b)
2 1

Unpacking Into Iterator Variables

authors = [['Paul', 'Resnick'], ('Brad', 'Miller'), ('Lauren', 'Murphy')]
for first_name, last_name in authors:
    print("first name:", first_name, "last name:", last_name)
first name: Paul last name: Resnick
first name: Brad last name: Miller
first name: Lauren last name: Murphy

Enumerate

fruits = ['apple', 'pear', 'apricot', 'cherry', 'peach']
for idx, fruit in enumerate(fruits):
    print(idx, fruit)
0 apple
1 pear
2 apricot
3 cherry
4 peach

Iterating of Dictionary into Tuples

pokemon = {'Rattata': 19, 'Machop': 66, 'Seel': 86, 'Volbeat': 86, 'Solrock': 126}
p_names=[]
p_number=[]
for i in (pokemon.items()):
    p_names.append(i[0])
    p_number.append(i[1])

print(p_names)
print(p_number)
['Rattata', 'Machop', 'Seel', 'Volbeat', 'Solrock']
[19, 66, 86, 86, 126]

Unpacking Tuples as Arguments to Function Calls

def add(x, y):
    return x + y

print(add(3, 4))
z = (5, 4)
#print(add(z)) # this line will cause the error  
print(add(*z))

9

Break and Continue

x = 0
while x < 10:
    print("we are incrementing x")
    if x % 2 == 0:
        x += 3
        continue
    if x % 3 == 0:
        x += 5
    x += 1
print("Done with our loop! X has the value: " + str(x))
we are incrementing x
we are incrementing x
we are incrementing x
Done with our loop! X has the value: 15

Optional Parameters

print(int("100"))
print(int("100", 10))   # same thing, 10 is the default value for the base
print(int("100", 8))     # now the base is 8, so the result is 1*64 = 64

Formal Paramters as Dictionary When a final formal parameter of the form name is present, it receives a dictionary (see Mapping Types — dict) containing all keyword arguments except for those corresponding to a formal parameter. This may be combined with a formal parameter of the form name (described in the next subsection) which receives a tuple containing the positional arguments beyond the formal parameter list. (name must occur before name.)

Keyword Parameters with .format

names_scores = [("Jack",[67,89,91]),("Emily",[72,95,42]),("Taylor",[83,92,86])]
for name, scores in names_scores:
    print("The scores {nm} got were: {s1},{s2},{s3}.".format(nm=name,s1=scores[0],s2=scores[1],s3=scores[2]))
The scores Jack got were: 67,89,91.
The scores Emily got were: 72,95,42.
The scores Taylor got were: 83,92,86.

.format() method ....

# but this also works!
names = ["Jack","Jill","Mary"]
for n in names:
    print("'{0}!' she yelled. '{0}! {0}, {1}!'".format(n,"say hello"))
'Jack!' she yelled. 'Jack! Jack, say hello!'
'Jill!' she yelled. 'Jill! Jill, say hello!'
'Mary!' she yelled. 'Mary! Mary, say hello!'

Anonymous functions with lambda expressions

  • lambda arguments: expression
print(lambda x: x-2)
print(type(lambda x: x-2))
print((lambda x: x-2)(6))

Introduction: Sorting with Sort and Sorted

L1 = [1, 7, 4, -2, 3]
L2 = ["Cherry", "Apple", "Blueberry"]
L1.sort()
print(L1)
[-2, 1, 3, 4, 7]

Sorted(Optional reverse parameter)

def absolute(x):
    if x >= 0:
        return x
    else:
        return -x
L2 = ["Cherry", "Apple", "Blueberry"]
print(sorted(L2, reverse=True))
print(sorted(L1, reverse=True, key=absolute))
['Cherry', 'Blueberry', 'Apple']
[7, 4, 3, -2, 1]
ex_lst = ['hi', 'how are you', 'bye', 'apple', 'zebra', 'dance']
def second_let(x):
    return x[1]
sorted_by_second_let=(sorted(ex_lst,reverse=False,key=second_let))

Lambdas + Reverse Parameters

nums = ['1450', '33', '871', '19', '14378', '32', '1005', '44', '8907', '16']

nums_sorted_lambda =(sorted(nums,reverse=True,key=lambda x:x[-1]))

Sorting Dictionaries (keys,values,items)

  • Sorting dictionaries simple example
L = ['E', 'F', 'B', 'A', 'D', 'I', 'I', 'C', 'B', 'A', 'D', 'D', 'E', 'D']

d = {}
for x in L:
    if x in d:
        d[x] = d[x] + 1
    else:
        d[x] = 1

# now loop through the sorted keys
for k in sorted(d, key=lambda k: d[k], reverse=True):
      print("{} appears {} times".format(k, d[k]))
D appears 4 times
E appears 2 times
B appears 2 times
A appears 2 times
I appears 2 times
F appears 1 times
C appears 1 times

Sorting Dictionaries based on key Values

dictionary = {"Flowers": 10, 'Trees': 20, 'Chairs': 6, "Firepit": 1, 'Grill': 2, 'Lights': 14}
tmp=sorted(dictionary.items())
tmp2=sorted(dictionary.keys())
tmp3=sorted(dictionary.values())
print(tmp)
print(tmp2)
print(tmp3)
if (tmp)==(tmp2):
    print("Idenitcal")
sorted_keys=[]
for i in tmp:
    sorted_keys.append(i[0])


#print(sorted_keys)

[('Chairs', 6), ('Firepit', 1), ('Flowers', 10), ('Grill', 2), ('Lights', 14), ('Trees', 20)]
['Chairs', 'Firepit', 'Flowers', 'Grill', 'Lights', 'Trees']
[1, 2, 6, 10, 14, 20]

Sorting Dictionaries based on Values

dictionary = {"Flowers": 10, 'Trees': 20, 'Chairs': 6, "Firepit": 1, 'Grill': 2, 'Lights': 14}
# sorting only the values()
tmp=sorted(dictionary.values())
tmp2=sorted(dictionary.items(),reverse=False,key= lambda x:(x[1],x[0]))
print(tmp2)

sorted_keys=[]
print(tmp)
#for i in tmp:
    #sorted_keys.append(i[0])

print(sorted_keys)

[('Firepit', 1), ('Grill', 2), ('Chairs', 6), ('Flowers', 10), ('Lights', 14), ('Trees', 20)]
[1, 2, 6, 10, 14, 20]
[]
groceries = {'apples': 5, 'pasta': 3, 'carrots': 12, 'orange juice': 2, 'bananas': 8, 'popcorn': 1, 'salsa': 3, 'cereal': 4, 'coffee': 5, 'granola bars': 15, 'onions': 7, 'rice': 1, 'peanut butter': 2, 'spinach': 9}

tmp=sorted(groceries.keys())
grocery_keys_sorted=[]
for i in tmp:
    grocery_keys_sorted.append(i)

print(grocery_keys_sorted)
['apples', 'bananas', 'carrots', 'cereal', 'coffee', 'granola bars', 'onions', 'orange juice', 'pasta', 'peanut butter', 'popcorn', 'rice', 'salsa', 'spinach']

Breaking Ties: Second Sorting

What happens when two items are “tied” in the sort order? For example, suppose we sort a list of words by their lengths. Which five letter word will appear first?

The answer is that the python interpreter will sort the tied items in the same order they were in before the sorting

fruits = ['peach', 'kiwi', 'apple', 'blueberry', 'papaya', 'mango', 'pear']
new_order = sorted(fruits, key=lambda fruit_name: (len(fruit_name), fruit_name))
for fruit in new_order:
    print(fruit)
kiwi
pear
apple
mango
peach
papaya
blueberry

Using the Negative Length in Python

fruits = ['peach', 'kiwi', 'apple', 'blueberry', 'papaya', 'mango', 'pear']
new_order = sorted(fruits, key=lambda fruit_name: (-len(fruit_name), fruit_name))
for fruit in new_order:
    print(fruit)

blueberry
papaya
apple
mango
peach
kiwi

Using Lambda vs Functions

-Though you can often use a lambda expression or a named function interchangeably when sorting, it’s generally best to use lambda expressions until the process is too complicated, and then a function should be used

Simple Labda Expression

states = {"Minnesota": ["St. Paul", "Minneapolis", "Saint Cloud", "Stillwater"],
          "Michigan": ["Ann Arbor", "Traverse City", "Lansing", "Kalamazoo"],
          "Washington": ["Seattle", "Tacoma", "Olympia", "Vancouver"]}

print(sorted(states, key=lambda state: len(states[state][0])))
['Washington', 'Minnesota', 'Michigan']

Complex Lambda Expression

def s_cities_count(city_list):
    ct = 0
    for city in city_list:
        if city[0] == "S":
            ct += 1
    return ct

states = {"Minnesota": ["St. Paul", "Minneapolis", "Saint Cloud", "Stillwater"],
          "Michigan": ["Ann Arbor", "Traverse City", "Lansing", "Kalamazoo"],
          "Washington": ["Seattle", "Tacoma", "Olympia", "Vancouver"]}

Processing JSON results

  • JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation
  • json.loads() takes a string as input and produces a python object (a dictionary or a list) as output.
  • json.dump() It takes a python object, typically a dictionary or a list, and returns a string, in JSON format. It has a few other parameters. Two useful parameters are sort_keys and indent. When the value True is passed for the sort_keys parameter, the keys of dictionaries are output in alphabetic order with their values. The indent parameter expects an integer. When it is provided, dumps generates a string suitable for displaying to people, with newlines and indentation for nested lists or dictionaries. For example, the following function uses json.dumps to make a human-readable printout of a nested data structure.
#library for Json file
import json

a_string = '\n\n\n{\n "resultCount":25,\n "results": [\n{"wrapperType":"track", "kind":"podcast", "collectionId":10892}]}'
print(a_string)
d = json.loads(a_string)
print("------")
print(type(d))
print(d.keys())
print(d['resultCount'])


########################################################

def pretty(obj):
    return json.dumps(obj, sort_keys=True, indent=2)

d = {'key1': {'c': True, 'a': 90, '5': 50}, 'key2':{'b': 3, 'c': "yes"}}

print(d)
print('--------')
print(pretty(d))

 "resultCount":25,

Typechecking in Complex List Iteration

nested1 = [1, 2, ['a', 'b', 'c'],['d', 'e'],['f', 'g', 'h']]
for x in nested1:
    print("level1: ")
    if type(x) is list:
        for y in x:
            print("     level2: {}".format(y))

Deep and Shallow Copies

  • simply cloning a list using [:] would take care of any issues with having two lists unintentionally connected to each other

  • That was definitely true for making shallow copies (copying a list at the highest level)

  • We can have second-level aliasing in these cases, which means we need to make deep copies.
  • When you copy a nested list, you do not also get copies of the internal lists. This means that if you perform a mutation operation on one of the original sublists, the copied version will also change

in shallow copies the variable pointer pointers are different but the data pointed by are same shared one for both of them

Deep Copyied list has Different copy of the data and no sharing

is and '==' Operator in Python

  • The == operator is used when the values of two operands are equal, then the condition becomes true.
  • The is operator evaluates to true if the variables on either side of the operator point to the same object and false otherwise
original = [['dogs', 'puppies'], ['cats', "kittens"]]
copied_version = original[:]
print(copied_version)
print(copied_version is original)
print(copied_version == original)
original[0].append(["canines"])
print(original)
print("-------- Now look at the copied version -----------")
print(copied_version)
[['dogs', 'puppies'], ['cats', 'kittens']]
False
True
[['dogs', 'puppies', ['canines']], ['cats', 'kittens']]
-------- Now look at the copied version -----------
[['dogs', 'puppies', ['canines']], ['cats', 'kittens']]

Assuming that you don’t want to have aliased lists inside of your nested list ,you could take advantage of the slice operator to do the copying of the inner list

original = [['dogs', 'puppies'], ['cats', "kittens"]]
copied_outer_list = []
for inner_list in original:
    copied_inner_list = inner_list[:]
    copied_outer_list.append(copied_inner_list)
print(copied_outer_list)
original[0].append(["canines"])
print(original)
print("-------- Now look at the copied version -----------")
print(copied_outer_list)
[['dogs', 'puppies'], ['cats', 'kittens']]
[['dogs', 'puppies', ['canines']], ['cats', 'kittens']]
-------- Now look at the copied version -----------
[['dogs', 'puppies'], ['cats', 'kittens']]

Map and Filter

Example of Map

def triple(value):
    return 3*value

def tripleStuff(a_list):
    new_seq = map(triple, a_list)
    return list(new_seq)

def quadrupleStuff(a_list):
    new_seq = map(lambda value: 4*value, a_list)
    return list(new_seq)

things = [2, 5, 9]
things3 = tripleStuff(things)
print(things3)
things4 = quadrupleStuff(things)
[6, 15, 27]

Example

lst = [["hi", "bye"], "hello", "goodbye", [9, 2], 4]
greeting_doubled=map(lambda x:x*2,lst)

Filter

Example
# eleminate the value that are fale to the condition
lst_check=["wonder","orange"]
filter_testing=filter(lambda x: 'w' in x,lst_check)

List Comprehension

  • Python provides an alternative way to do map and filter operations, called a list comprehension

Examples

# [<transformer_expression> for <loop_var> in <sequence> if <filtration_expression>]
# Example 1
things = [2, 5, 9]
yourlist = [value * 2 for value in things]
print(yourlist)

# Example 2
def keep_evens(nums):
    new_list = [num for num in nums if num % 2 == 0]
    return new_list

print(keep_evens([3, 4, 6, 7, 0, 1]))

#Example 3
things = [3, 4, 6, 7, 0, 1]
print(map(lambda x: x*2, filter(lambda y: y % 2 == 0, things)))

# equivalent version using list comprehension
print([x*2 for x in things if x % 2 == 0])

Zip

-The zip function takes multiple lists and turns them into a list of tuples (actually, an iterator, but they work like lists for most practical purposes),

# Simple Implementation  
L1 = [3, 4, 5]
L2 = [1, 2, 3]
L3 = []

for i in range(len(L1)):
    L3.append(L1[i] + L2[i])

print(L3)

[4, 6, 8]

iterating thorough loop

L1 = [3, 4, 5]
L2 = [1, 2, 3]
L3 = []
L4 = list(zip(L1, L2))

for (x1, x2) in L4:
    L3.append(x1+x2)

print(L3)
[4, 6, 8]

Zip + List Comprehension

L1 = [3, 4, 5]
L2 = [1, 2, 3]
L3 = [x1 + x2 for (x1, x2) in list(zip(L1, L2))]
print(L3)
[4, 6, 8]

Map + Lambda +Zip

L1 = [3, 4, 5]
L2 = [1, 2, 3]
L3 = map(lambda x: x[0] + x[1], zip(L1, L2))
print(L3)


L1 = [1, 5, 2, 16, 32, 3, 54, 8, 100]
L2 = [1, 3, 10, 2, 42, 2, 3, 4, 3]

Classes and Inheritance

User Defined Classes

  • Every class should have a method with the special name init. This initializer method, often referred to as the constructor, is automatically called whenever a new instance of Point is created. It gives the programmer the opportunity to set up the attributes required within the new instance by giving them their initial state values

  • It gives the programmer the opportunity to set up the attributes required within the new instance by giving them their initial state values. The self parameter (you could choose any other name, but nobody ever does!) is automatically set to reference the newly created object that needs to be initialized

class Point:
    """ Point class for representing and manipulating x,y coordinates. """

    def __init__(self):
        """ Create a new point at the origin """
        self.x = 0

Overriding Methods

  • If a method is defined for a class, and also defined for its parent class, the subclass’ method is called and not the parent’s.

Python Test Case :

  • A test case expresses requirements for a program, in a way that can be checked automatically. Specifically, a test asserts something about the state of the program at a particular point in its execution

  • Python provides a statement called assert.

Following the word assert there will be a python expression.

  • If that expression evaluates to the Boolean False, then the interpreter will raise a runtime error.

A useful function will do some combination of three things, given its input parameters:

  • Return a value. For these, you will write return value tests.

  • Modify the contents of some mutable object, like a list or dictionary. For these you will write side effect tests.

  • Print something or write something to a file. Tests of whether a function generates the right printed output are beyond the scope of this testing framework; you won’t write these tests.
