1. Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. Python is open-source and has a large community, making it a versatile tool for many programming tasks including web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing.

Key Features:

• Easy to Read, Learn, and Write: Python has a simple syntax similar to English, making it an excellent choice for beginners.
• Interpreted Language: Python is executed line by line at runtime, which makes debugging easier.
• Dynamically Typed: No need to declare the type of variable; the type is determined at runtime.
• Extensive Libraries and Frameworks: Python has a rich standard library and many third-party modules and frameworks.

2. Python Syntax and Semantics

Hello World:

The simplest Python program prints "Hello, World!" to the console.

print("Hello, World!")        

Comments:

Comments are used to explain code. Single-line comments start with #, and multi-line comments are enclosed in triple quotes (''' or """).

# This is a single-line comment
"""
This is a 
multi-line comment
"""        

3. Variables and Data Types

Variables:

Variables are used to store data. Python's variables do not require explicit declaration to reserve memory space.

x = 10
y = 3.14
name = "Alice"
is_student = True        

Data Types:

• Integer (int): Whole numbers
• Float (float): Decimal numbers
• String (str): Sequence of characters
• Boolean (bool): True or False
• NoneType (None): Represents the absence of value

a = 10          # int
b = 3.14        # float
c = "Hello"     # str
d = True        # bool
e = None        # NoneType        

4. Basic Operations

Arithmetic Operators:

Perform mathematical operations.

x = 10
y = 3

print(x + y)  # Addition: 13
print(x - y)  # Subtraction: 7
print(x * y)  # Multiplication: 30
print(x / y)  # Division: 3.33
print(x // y) # Floor Division: 3
print(x % y)  # Modulus: 1
print(x ** y) # Exponentiation: 1000        

Comparison Operators:

Compare values and return a boolean.

a = 10
b = 20

print(a == b)  # False
print(a != b)  # True
print(a > b)   # False
print(a < b)   # True
print(a >= b)  # False
print(a <= b)  # True        

Logical Operators:

Combine conditional statements.

a = True
b = False

print(a and b)  # False
print(a or b)   # True
print(not a)    # False        

5. Control Structures

Conditional Statements:

Execute code based on conditions.

x = 10

if x > 0:
    print("Positive")
elif x == 0:
    print("Zero")
else:
    print("Negative")        

Loops:

For Loop:

Iterates over a sequence.

for i in range(5):
    print(i)  # 0 1 2 3 4        

While Loop:

Repeats as long as a condition is true.

count = 0
while count < 5:
    print(count)
    count += 1  # 0 1 2 3 4        

6. Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform a specific task.

Defining a Function:

def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"        

Calling a Function:

message = greet("Bob")
print(message)  # Outputs: Hello, Bob!        

Parameters and Arguments:

Functions can accept parameters and return values.

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

result = add(5, 3)
print(result)  # Outputs: 8        

Lambda Functions:

Anonymous functions defined with the lambda keyword.

square = lambda x: x ** 2
print(square(5))  # Outputs: 25        

7. Collections

Python provides several built-in collection data types for managing groups of data.

List:

Ordered, mutable, and allows duplicate elements.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
fruits.append("orange")
print(fruits)  # Outputs: ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'orange']        

Tuples:

Ordered, immutable, and allows duplicate elements.

point = (10, 20)
print(point)  # Outputs: (10, 20)        

Sets:

Unordered, mutable, and does not allow duplicate elements.

unique_numbers = {1, 2, 3, 2}
print(unique_numbers)  # Outputs: {1, 2, 3}        

Dictionaries:

Unordered, mutable, and stores data in key-value pairs.

student = {"name": "Alice", "age": 21}
print(student["name"])  # Outputs: Alice        

8. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

OOP is a programming paradigm based on the concept of "objects," which can contain data and code to manipulate that data.

Classes and Objects:

• Class: A blueprint for creating objects.
• Object: An instance of a class.

Example:

class Dog:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
    
    def bark(self):
        return f"{self.name} says woof!"

# Create an object
my_dog = Dog("Rex", 5)
print(my_dog.bark())  # Outputs: Rex says woof!        

Inheritance:

Inheritance allows a class to inherit attributes and methods from another class.

class Animal:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def speak(self):
        raise NotImplementedError("Subclasses must implement this method")

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return f"{self.name} says woof!"

class Cat(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        return f"{self.name} says meow!"

# Create objects
dog = Dog("Rex")
cat = Cat("Whiskers")
print(dog.speak())  # Outputs: Rex says woof!
print(cat.speak())  # Outputs: Whiskers says meow!        

Encapsulation:

Encapsulation restricts access to certain components of an object.

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.__name = name  # Private attribute
        self.__age = age    # Private attribute

    def get_name(self):
        return self.__name

    def get_age(self):
        return self.__age

person = Person("Alice", 30)
print(person.get_name())  # Outputs: Alice        

Polymorphism:

Polymorphism allows methods to be used interchangeably between different object types.

class Bird:
    def speak(self):
        return "Chirp!"

class Duck(Bird):
    def speak(self):
        return "Quack!"

# Create objects
bird = Bird()
duck = Duck()

# Polymorphism
for animal in [bird, duck]:
    print(animal.speak())  # Outputs: Chirp! Quack!        

9. File Handling

Python provides built-in functions for reading and writing files.

Reading Files:

with open('example.txt', 'r') as file:
    content = file.read()
    print(content)  # Outputs the content of example.txt        

Writing Files:

with open('example.txt', 'w') as file:
    file.write("Hello, file!")        

Appending to Files:

with open('example.txt', 'a') as file:
    file.write("\nAppending new line.")        

10. Modules and Packages

Introduction to Modules:

Modules are files containing Python code that can define functions, classes, and variables. They can also include runnable code. Using modules helps in organizing your code into manageable sections and promotes code reuse.

Importing Modules

You can import a module using the import statement.

import math
print(math.sqrt(16))  # Outputs: 4.0        

Importing Specific Attributes

You can import specific attributes from a module using the from keyword.

from math import pi, sqrt
print(pi)  # Outputs: 3.141592653589793
print(sqrt(25))  # Outputs: 5.0        

Aliasing

Modules can be aliased using the as keyword.

import numpy as np
array = np.array([1, 2, 3])
print(array)  # Outputs: [1 2 3]        

Creating a Module

A module is simply a Python file with a .py extension.

# my_module.py
def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"        

You can use the module in another file by importing it.

# main.py
import my_module

message = my_module.greet("Alice")
print(message)  # Outputs: Hello, Alice!        

Introduction to Packages:

A package is a way of organizing related modules into a directory hierarchy. A package must contain an __init__.py file.

Creating a Package

1. Create a directory for the package.
2. Add an __init__.py file to the directory.
3. Add modules to the package.

Directory structure:

mypackage/
    __init__.py
    module1.py
    module2.py        

Using a Package:

from mypackage import module1, module2        

11. Exception Handling

Introduction to Exception Handling:

Exception handling is a mechanism to handle runtime errors, ensuring the flow of the program can continue or gracefully terminate.

Try-Except Block

Handle exceptions using a try-except block.

try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")        

Catching Specific Exceptions

You can catch specific exceptions and handle them differently.

try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero!")
except TypeError:
    print("Invalid type!")        

Finally Block

The finally block is executed regardless of whether an exception occurred or not.

try:
    file = open('example.txt', 'r')
    content = file.read()
except FileNotFoundError:
    print("File not found!")
finally:
    file.close()
    print("File closed.")        

Raising Exceptions

You can raise exceptions using the raise keyword.

def divide(a, b):
    if b == 0:
        raise ValueError("Cannot divide by zero!")
    return a / b

try:
    print(divide(10, 0))
except ValueError as e:
    print(e)  # Outputs: Cannot divide by zero!        

12. Advanced Topics

List Comprehensions:

List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists.

squares = [x ** 2 for x in range(10)]
print(squares)  # Outputs: [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]        

Generators:

Generators are functions that return an iterable set of items, one at a time, using the yield keyword.

def count_up_to(max):
    count = 1
    while count <= max:
        yield count
        count += 1

counter = count_up_to(5)
print(next(counter))  # Outputs: 1
print(next(counter))  # Outputs: 2        

Decorators:

Decorators are functions that modify the behavior of other functions.

def my_decorator(func):
    def wrapper():
        print("Something is happening before the function is called.")
        func()
        print("Something is happening after the function is called.")
    return wrapper

@my_decorator
def say_hello():
    print("Hello!")

say_hello()        

Context Managers:

Context managers allow you to allocate and release resources precisely when you want.

with open('example.txt', 'r') as file:
    content = file.read()
    print(content)
# The file is automatically closed after the block        

Multithreading and Multiprocessing:

Python provides support for concurrent execution of code.

Multithreading:

import threading

def print_numbers():
    for i in range(5):
        print(i)

thread = threading.Thread(target=print_numbers)
thread.start()
thread.join()        

Multiprocessing:

import multiprocessing

def print_numbers():
    for i in range(5):
        print(i)

process = multiprocessing.Process(target=print_numbers)
process.start()
process.join()        

13. My Task (To Build an ATM Interface):

Source Code:

1. Importing the Time Module

import time        

• The time module is imported to introduce delays in the code execution using time.sleep() function.

2. Printing Header Lines

print("======================================================")
print("======================================================")        

• Two lines with equal signs are printed to create a visual separator or header.

3. Defining and Printing the Welcome Logo

welcome_logo = """
                         ............
                           """
print(welcome_logo)        

• A multi-line string welcome_logo contains an ASCII art representation of a welcome message.
• The welcome logo is printed to the console.

4. Printing Footer Lines

print("======================================================")
print("======================================================")        

• Two more lines with equal signs are printed to create another visual separator.

5. Prompting User to Insert Card

print("\n====------------------------- Please inert your Card ---------------------------====")
time.sleep(5)        

• A message prompts the user to insert their card.
• A delay of 5 seconds is introduced to simulate the time taken for card insertion.

6. Setting the ATM PIN and Initial Balance

password = 1010
balance = 10000        

• The ATM PIN is set to 1010.
• The initial balance is set to 10,000.

7. Asking User for PIN Input

pin = int(input("\n\tEnter your ATM PIN: "))        

• The user is prompted to enter their ATM PIN, which is converted to an integer.

8. Verifying the PIN

if pin == password:        

• If the entered PIN matches the stored password (1010), the following block of code is executed.

9. Displaying the ATM Menu

while True:
    print('''
        1 : Check Balance
        2 : Withdraw
        3 : Deposit   
        4 : Exit
        ''')        

• A while loop is used to repeatedly display the ATM menu until the user decides to exit.
• The menu offers four options: Check Balance, Withdraw, Deposit, and Exit.

10. Handling User Selection with Exception Handling

try:
    option = int(input("\tPlease select any one option: "))        

• The user is prompted to select an option from the menu.
• The input is converted to an integer and wrapped in a try block to handle invalid input.

11. Checking Balance Option

if option == 1:
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print(f"\n\tYour current balance is {balance}")
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")        

• If the user selects option 1, their current balance is displayed.

12. Withdraw Option

if option == 2:
    withdraw_amount = int(input("\n\tPlease enter your Withdraw Amount: "))
    balance = balance - withdraw_amount
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print(f"\t{withdraw_amount} is debited from your account")
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print("===========================================================")
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print(f"\tYour update current balance is {balance}")
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")        

• If the user selects option 2, they are prompted to enter the withdraw amount.
• The balance is updated by subtracting the withdraw amount.
• Messages are printed to confirm the transaction and display the updated balance.

13. Deposit Option

if option == 3:
    deposit_amount = int(input("\n\tPlease enter your Deposit Amount: "))
    balance = balance + deposit_amount
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print(f"\t{deposit_amount} is credited to your account")
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print("======================================================")
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")
    print(f"\tYour updated current balance is {balance}") 
    print("___________________________________________________________")
    print("***********************************************************")        

• If the user selects option 3, they are prompted to enter the deposit amount.
• The balance is updated by adding the deposit amount.
• Messages are printed to confirm the transaction and display the updated balance.

14. Exit Option

if option == 4:
    break        

• If the user selects option 4, the while loop breaks, and the program exits.

15. Handling Invalid Input

except:     
    print("\tPlease enter a valid option between 1 to 4")        

• If the user enters an invalid option (non-integer or out of range), an error message is printed.

16. Incorrect PIN Handling

else:
    print("\n\tPIN inserted by you is not correct")        

• If the entered PIN does not match the stored password, an error message is displayed.

Output:
