Detailed Notes for Week 6 Topics

Week 6 focuses on graded programming assignments related to Numbers, Strings, and


Collections. Below are detailed notes and explanations for each topic, along with examples.

Numbers

Numerical Data Types


1. Integer (int):
Whole numbers (e.g., 5, -10).
2. Float (float):
Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14, -2.5).
3. Complex Numbers (complex):
Numbers with a real and imaginary part (e.g., 3 + 4j).

Arithmetic Operations
Basic operations:
a, b = 10, 5
print(a + b) # Addition: 15
print(a - b) # Subtraction: 5
print(a * b) # Multiplication: 50
print(a / b) # Division: 2.0
print(a % b) # Modulus: 0
print(a // b) # Floor Division: 2
print(a ** b) # Exponentiation: 100000

Built-in Functions for Numbers


1. abs(x) – Returns the absolute value of x.
2. pow(x, y) – Returns x raised to the power of y.
3. round(x) – Rounds the number to the nearest integer.
4. max() and min() – Find maximum/minimum values in a sequence.
Examples for Graded Assignments

Numbers Assignment Example:

# Sum of squares of first n natural numbers


def sum_of_squares(n):
return sum([i**2 for i in range(1, n + 1)])

n = int(input("Enter a number: "))


print("Sum of squares:", sum_of_squares(n))

Strings

String Basics
Strings are sequences of characters enclosed in quotes (' ', " ").
Strings are immutable.

String Operations
1. Concatenation:
s1 = "Hello"
s2 = "World"
print(s1 + " " + s2) # Output: Hello World

2. Repetition:
print("Hi" * 3) # Output: HiHiHi

3. Indexing and Slicing:


s = "Python"
print(s[^0]) # Output: P (first character)
print(s[-1]) # Output: n (last character)
print(s[1:4]) # Output: yth (substring)

String Methods
1. .upper() – Converts string to uppercase.
2. .lower() – Converts string to lowercase.
3. .strip() – Removes leading/trailing whitespace.
4. .replace(old, new) – Replaces occurrences of a substring.
5. .split(separator) – Splits string into a list.
Examples for Graded Assignments

Strings Assignment Example:

# Reverse a string and check if it's a palindrome


def is_palindrome(s):
reversed_s = s[::-1]
return s == reversed_s

string = input("Enter a string: ")


if is_palindrome(string):
print(f"{string} is a palindrome")
else:
print(f"{string} is not a palindrome")

Collections

Collections Overview
Python collections include data structures like lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.

Lists
Ordered, mutable collection of items.
Common methods:
my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.append(4) # Adds an element at the end
my_list.remove(2) # Removes the first occurrence of an element
my_list.sort() # Sorts the list in ascending order

Tuples
Ordered, immutable collection of items.

my_tuple = (1, "Python", True)


print(my_tuple[^0]) # Access element by index
Sets
Unordered collection of unique items.

my_set = {1, 2, "Python"}


my_set.add(3) # Adds an element to the set
my_set.discard(1) # Removes an element if it exists

Dictionaries
Key-value pairs for data storage.

my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}


print(my_dict["name"]) # Access value by key

# Add or update key-value pairs:


my_dict["city"] = "New York"

Examples for Graded Assignments

Collections Assignment Example:

# Count frequency of elements in a list using a dictionary


def count_frequency(lst):
freq_dict = {}
for item in lst:
freq_dict[item] = freq_dict.get(item, 0) + 1
return freq_dict

lst = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3]
print(count_frequency(lst))

Practice Assignments Breakdown


Here’s how you can approach each graded assignment:

Numbers Assignments:
Focus on mathematical operations like summation, factorial calculation, or number
manipulation.
Example:

# Find factorial using recursion


def factorial(n):
if n == 0 or n == 1:
return 1
return n * factorial(n - 1)

n = int(input("Enter a number: "))


print(f"Factorial of {n} is {factorial(n)}")

Strings Assignments:
Work on string manipulation tasks such as reversing strings or analyzing character
frequencies.

Example:

# Count vowels in a string


def count_vowels(s):
vowels = "aeiouAEIOU"
count = sum(1 for char in s if char in vowels)
return count

string = input("Enter a string: ")


print("Number of vowels:", count_vowels(string))

Collections Assignments:
Perform operations like sorting lists, counting frequencies in dictionaries, or performing set
operations.

Example:

# Find intersection of two sets


set_a = {1, 2, 3}
set_b = {3, 4, 5}
intersection = set_a & set_b
print("Intersection:", intersection)
