Python Cheatsheet

Theory

Python is a scripting language.
Scripting vs Compiled ? – Language like c++/java’s code needs to compiled by its compiler, after compilation it is just machine level code. Where as in a scripting language its interpreter will be run the code one the spot one line at a time.

VSCODE extension:

Python for vscode
Magic Python

Making a virtual env:

Why Virtual env?

Because managing python dependencies is a mess, this will install dependencies for that project only instead of globally.

python -m venv venv this will create a venv folder in your directory.
source ./venv/bin/activate this will activate this virtual env.

Comments in python

single line use #

# single line comments

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

multiline use '''. often called as docstring, as it is just to document function/classes.

''' This is a example of Multiline comment. '''

Data Types:

int # Whole Numbers
float # Number with decimals.
str # String
list # ordered sequence of object
dict # unordered key-value pairs.
tup # ordered immutable seq. of objects.
set # Unordered collection of unique objs.
bool # Logical value True / False.
None # no value

Naming conventions:

Use underscore for variables.
variables cannot Start with a number.
Avoid special meaning keywords.
Use snake case for functions.
Use CamelCase for Classes names.

Printing in Python:

print("")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Numbers in Python:

print(1+2) # Addition print(3-2) # Subtraction print(3*2) # Multiplication print(3/2) # Division print(3%2) # Mod. print(3**2) # Power print((3 + 10) * 15) # Using Braces.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using with variables:

a = 10
print(a)
# TO check the type: print(type(a))

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Variables makes it easy to understands the code.

my_income = 100
tax_rate = 0.1
my_taxes = my_income*tax_rate
print("My income tax is",my_taxes)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Strings in Python:

String is nothing but ordered seq. of characters.
Note: Strings are immutable

Using directly with print:

print("Simple String")
print('Add quotes inside the "string" by using single quote.')
print("concat string "+"like this")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Taking Input

greeting = "Hello"
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(greeting + ' ' + name)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Use `,` instead of `+` This will auto seprate them by spaces.

print(greeting,name)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Escape characters in python:

print("Hello\nWorld")
# or print(""" --- Hello world\ Yeahh!! "Quotes" 'Single quote' --- """)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Check the length of string:

print(len("Hey"))

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

String indexing

a = "Hello"
a[0] Will return H

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

String Slicing

a[start:end:step]
a[0:2] # Start from 0th index till 2(excluding) a[::2] # Step will be 2. # We can use this to print a string backwards s[::-1]

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

String methods:

# Multiply Strings a = 'H' * 10

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

# Upper Case a string s.upper()

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

# Lower case s.lower()

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

# Splitting s.split('W')
s.split() # split via whitespace.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Formatting strings:

.format()
f"" F-string

print('The {2} {1} {0}'.format('fox','brown','quick'))
print('First Object: {a}, Second Object: {b}, Third Object: {c}'.format(a=1,b='Two',c=12.3))
num = 23.45
print("My 10 character, four decimal number is:{0:10.4f}".format(num))
print(f"My 10 character, four decimal number is:{num:10.4f}")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

String Print alignment

left_alignment = "Left Text"
center_alignment = "Centered Text"
right_alignment = "Right Text"
print(f"{left_alignment : <20}|{center_alignment : ^15}|{right_alignment : >20}")

Lists in Python:

Basic Usage

# Supports dynamic types, as it is python :) my_list = [100,2.5,"Mohit"]
# len(my_list) for length # Change objs: my_list[0]=1000

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Slicing is same as String slicing

Concat

a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5]
c = a + b

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Append the list

my_list.append(10.8)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Poping objs

my_list.pop(index) # default index is -1, returns popped element.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Sorting

a = [1,2,3]
a.sort() # in-place sort, it will modify the list, returns None # Tip: use sorted(a) it will return the value instead of in-place

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Reverse

a = [1,2,3]
a.reverse() # also in-place

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Nested list

a = [1, 2, 3, [4,5,]]
print(a[3][1]) # Returns 5.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Dictionaries in Python

Unordered key-value mappings, basically you can have custom keys
Think it like, you can use this to make dynamic variables, where key will be the variable name.
Like list value can be any data type.

Basic Usage

prices = {"apple":10, "orange":20.5}
print(prices)
print(prices["apple"])
print(prices.keys()) # get keys print(prices.values()) # get values print(prices.items()) # get items, return tuples with keys and values print(prices.pop("apple")) # Pop the object print(prices)
print(prices.clear()) # Clear All print(prices)
print(prices.get("banana")) # it will check if it is present, return None if not. print(prices.__contains__("apple")) # Returns true/false

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Tuples in Python

Same as list, but immutable.

Basic Usage

a = (1,2,2,4)
print(a)
# Interesting Fact: tuple supports only two methods: a.count(2) # This can be use with list as well. a.index(3) # This can be use with list as well.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Sets in Python

Sets are an unordered collection of unique elements.

a = set()
a.add(1)
a.add(1)
a.add(1)
print(a) # {1}

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Convert list to set

a = [1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3]
a = set(a)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

File IO with Python

init file obj

file = open("file.txt")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

read contents

contents = file.read()
print(contents)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

move the cursor/pointer

file.seek(0)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

read line by line

contents = file.readlines() # returns list of lines.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

close the file

file.close()

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using context manager

with open("file.txt") as file:
    print(file.read())

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

different modes for file

r: Read
r+: Read and Write
w: Write (will override the file)
w+: Write + Read (will override the file)
a: Append the file

Chaining comparison operators:

To chain ==, != <, >, >=, <= and is these operators, we have these logical operators

if 2 > 3 and 2 > 5:
    print("I am inevitable")
if "hello" is "world" or "india" is "country":
    print("Yeah!!")
if not 10 == 10:
    print("Tough luck!" )

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Python Statements:

Indentation is important in the python.

if, elif, else

loc = 'Bank'

if loc == 'Auto Shop':
    print('Welcome to the Auto Shop!')
elif loc == 'Bank':
    print('Welcome to the bank!')
else:
    print('Where are you?')

for loops

# iterate list/string/tuple l = [1,2,3]
for item in l:
    print(item)
# extraction made easy list2 = [(2,4),(6,8),(10,12)]
for t1,t2 in list2: # Same as dict. t1 will be key, t2 will be value.     print(t1) # will print 2,6,10 # Protip about dict: use .value() and .keys() for looping Values/keys.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

while loops

in python we can use python with else statement.

x = 1
while x < 3:
    print(f"x is {x}")
    x = x + 1
else:
    print("Uhhoo! x > 3")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Statement in python

break: Breaks out of the current closest enclosing loop.
continue: Goes to the top of the closest enclosing loop.
pass: Does nothing at all, Programmers use this for placeholder.

def future_method():
    # Todo: implement it later.     pass
while True:
    break
for i in range(10):
    if i == 5:
        #omit         continue 
    print(i)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Some useful operators

range()

range is a generator.

Syntax: range(start,end,step)

Use directly with loops for iteration.

a = list(range(0,11,2)) # returns 0,2,4,..10

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

enumerate()

with help of this we can keep track of index and value.

a = [20,100,5,3,6]
for index,value in enumerate(a):
    print(f"{index}\t{value}")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

zip()

zip multiple lists.
a = [1,2,3]
b = [4,5,6]
for item in zip(a,b):
    print(item)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

in operator:

a = [1,2,3]
print(3 in a) # True

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

min and max:

a = [1,2,3]
print(min(a)) # 1 print(max(a)) # 3

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

List Comprehensions

Quicker and unique way to create lists.

# Grab every letter in string lst = [x for x in 'word']

# Square numbers in range and turn into list lst = [x**2 for x in range(0,11)]

# Check for even numbers in a range lst = [x for x in range(11) if x % 2 == 0]

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

help function in python

if you are lazy like me, want to learn documentation about specific inbuilt method via terminal, you can use help()

a = [1,2,3]
help(a.insert) # will print info about this method

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Functions in python

Basic function with argument and default value

# def keyword to define functions. def say_hello(name="world"):
    print(f"Hello {name}!")
    # or return f"Hello {name}!" if you want to return it.

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*args and **kwargs

*args: N number of arguments, returns tuple.
**kwargs: N number of keyword arguments, returns dict.

def total_income(*args, **kwargs):
    print(f"Income for month, {kwargs['month']} is : {sum(args)}")
total_income(10,20,300,month="July")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

lamda, filter and map

#map def square(num):
    return num**2
my_nums = [1,2,3,4,5]
map(square,my_nums) # 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 
# filter def check_even(num):
    return num % 2 == 0
nums = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
filter(check_even, nums) # 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 
# lets convert each of the above function to lambda. map(lambda num:num**2,my_nums)
filter(lambda num:num%2==0, nums)

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Classes in python

Basic implementation

class Circle:
    pi = 3.14

    # Circle gets instantiated with a radius (default is 1)     def __init__(self, radius=1):
        self.radius = radius 
        self.area = radius * radius * Circle.pi

    # Method for resetting Radius     def setRadius(self, new_radius):
        self.radius = new_radius
        self.area = new_radius * new_radius * self.pi

    # Method for getting Circumference     def getCircumference(self):
        return self.radius * self.pi * 2


c = Circle()

print('Radius is: ',c.radius)
print('Area is: ',c.area)
print('Circumference is: ',c.getCircumference())

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Inheritance

class Animal:
    def __init__(self):
        print("Animal created")

    def whoAmI(self):
        print("Animal")

    def eat(self):
        print("Eating")


class Dog(Animal):
    def __init__(self):
        Animal.__init__(self)
        print("Dog created")

    def whoAmI(self):
        print("Dog")

    def bark(self):
        print("Woof!")

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Polymorphism

class Animal:
    def __init__(self, name):    # Constructor of the class         self.name = name

    def speak(self):              # Abstract method, defined by convention only         raise NotImplementedError("Subclass must implement abstract method")


class Dog(Animal):

    def speak(self):
        return self.name+' says Woof!'

class Cat(Animal):

    def speak(self):
        return self.name+' says Meow!'

fido = Dog('Fido')
isis = Cat('Isis')

print(fido.speak())
print(isis.speak())

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using Special methods

Just like __init__ we have more special methods.

class Book:
    def __init__(self, title, author, pages):
        print("A book is created")
        self.title = title
        self.author = author
        self.pages = pages

    def __str__(self):
        return "Title: %s, author: %s, pages: %s" %(self.title, self.author, self.pages)

    def __len__(self):
        return self.pages

    def __del__(self):
        print("A book is destroyed")


book = Book("Python Rocks!", "Jose Portilla", 159)

#Special Methods print(book)
print(len(book))
del book

Exception Handling

try, except, finally, and else.

def askint():
    while True:
        try:
            val = int(input("Please enter an integer: "))
        except:
            # You can also expect specific error like TypeError or generic type Exception             print("Looks like you did not enter an integer!")
            continue
        else:
            print("Yep that's an integer!")
            break
        finally:
            print("Finally, I executed!")
        print(val)

Decorators

def new_decorator(func):

    def wrap_func():
        print("Code would be here, before executing the func")

        func()

        print("Code here will execute after the func()")

    return wrap_func

@new_decorator
def func_needs_decorator():
    print("This function is in need of a Decorator")

func_needs_decorator()
# Code would be here, before executing the func # This function is in need of a Decorator # Code here will execute after the func()

Generators

# Without generator def get_me_cubes(n):
    output_list = []
    for i in range(n):
        output_list.append(i**3)
    return output_list

print(get_me_cubes(10))
# With generator def generate_cubes(n):
    for i in range(n):
        yield i**3

print(generate_cubes(10))
