Background information on Python 3
What is Python?
Python is an interpreted language.
Python uses dynamic typing.
Python 3 is not compatible to Python 2.x
The Python interpreter generates intermediate code (in the pycache directory).
Strengths
Quick to write, no compilation
Fully object-oriented
Many reliable libraries
All-round language
100% free software
Weaknesses
Writing very fast programs is not straightforward
No strict encapsulation
What has changed from Python 2 to Python 3?
print is now a function
all Strings are stored in Unicode (better handling of umlauts and special characters in all languages)
many functions like zip(), map() and filter() return iterators
the standard library has been cleaned up completely

Exercise 1
Simplify the following code using the function sum():
counts = [356, 412, 127, 8, 32]total = 0for number in data: total = total + numberprint(total)
Exercise 2
Simplify the following code using the function range():
i = 0while i < 10: print(i * '*') i += 1
Exercise 3
Simplify the following code using the function zip():
Simplify the following code using the function enumerate():
names = ['Lilly', 'Lily', 'Leila', 'Lilja', 'Lillie']i = 0for name in names: print(i, name) i += 1
Exercise 5
Use list(range()) to create the following lists:
[4, 7, 9, 12]
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
[33, 32, 31, 30]
Exercise 6
On which data types does the len() function work?
lists
dictionaries
strings
floats
sets
Overview of data types in Python
Overview of Data types in Python
Data types
Match the data samples with their types.
Definitions
Immutable and mutable data types
In Python there are basic and composite data types. The values of basic data types cannot be changed, they are immutable. Most of the composite data types are mutable.
The immutable data types in Python are:
Boolean (True / False)
Integer (0, 1, -3)
Float (1.0, -0.3, 1.2345)
Strings ('apple', "banana") - both single and double quotes are valid
None (aka an empty variable)
Tuples (multiple values in parentheses, e.g. ('Jack', 'Smith', 1990))
The mutable data types are
List [1, 2, 2, 3]
Dictionary {'name': 'John Smith', 'year': 1990}
Set ()
Type conversions
Values can be converted into each other using conversion functions. Try the following:
Find out what each of the expressions does to the dictionary in the center.
Exercise 2
What do the following commands produce?
d = {1:'A', 'B':1, 'A':True}print(d['A'])
False
"B"
True
1
Exercise 3
What do these commands produce?
d = {1:'A', 'B':1, 'A':True}print(d.has_key('B'))
1
True
"B"
False
Exercise 4
What do these commands produce?
d = {1:'A', 'B':1, 'A':True}print(d.values())
True
['A', 1, True]
3
[1, 'B', 'A']
Exercise 5
What do these commands produce?
d = {1:'A', 'B':1, 'A':True}print(d.keys())
[1, 'B', 'A']
['A', 'B', 1]
[1, 'A', 'B']
The order may vary
Exercise 6
What do these commands produce?
d = {1:'A', 'B':1, 'A':True}print(d['C'])
None
'C'
an Error
False
Exercise 7
What do these commands produce?
d = {1:'A', 'B':1, 'A':True}d.setdefault('C', 3)print(d['C'])
3
'C'
None
an Error
First steps in the IPython Shell
First steps on the IPython Shell
There are two ways to use Python: The interactive mode or IPython shell and writing programs. We will use the interactive mode to store data on U.S. baby names.
In the first part of the tutorial, you will use the IPython shell to write simple commands.
Goals
The commands on the IPython shell cover:
How to store a number?
How to add two numbers together?
How to store text?
How to convert a number to text and back?
Repeating instructions
Repeating instructions
In our early programs, each Python instruction was executed only once. That makes programming a bit pointless, because our programs are limited by our typing speed.
