Anaconda Installation

Anaconda is open-source software that contains Jupyter and is mainly used for the processing of data and scientific computing. It works for the Python programming language. The steps to follow for Anaconda Installation are:

• Firstly visit the Anaconda official website and install the latest version of it.

• For the best user interface, download the “Python 3.7 Version”.

• Now begin with the installation process and after the proper installation, it will be ready for use.

Introduction to Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter Notebook is basically used to share and create documents that contain coding, text, and many more. It is not included under Python, if the user wants to use it then they must install it separately. Jupyter Notebook can be easily downloaded from the Anaconda official website.

Variables and Data Types

In the programming language of Python, variables cannot be declared. It automatically comes into use when the user assigns a value to them. Data Types are of many types and each of them has its uses. Various data types of Python are as follows:

• Floats

• Integer

• Strings

• Boolean

• Lists

• None type

Operators in Python

The main use of Operators in Python is to operate on variables and values. The operators of Python are:

• Arithmetic Operators (+, -, *, /)

• Comparison Operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=)

• Assignment Operators (=, +=, -=, *=-, /=)

• Membership Operators (&, I, ^)

• Logical Operators (and, or, not)

• Identity Operator (is, is not)

Print () and input () function

The function of print () is to print the message on the screen of the device. The message of this input can be a string, or any other object, which can be converted into a string before being written to the screen.

String Indexing in Python

In Python, the string can be defined as the ordered sequence of the character data. In this programming language, string indexing is zero-based. In the string, the first character has index 0, the next has index 1, and so on.

String Slicing

It is about obtaining a sub-string from the given string by slicing it respectively from start to end. String Slicing can be done in two ways which are by using the slice method () and using the array slicing [: :] method.

String Methods

In string, python has a set of built-in methods that can be used in the programming language. The method of string in Python are: capitalize (), case fold (), center (), count (), encode (), endswith (), find (), format (), lower (), title (), upper (), etc.

Conditional Statements

Conditional Statements in python are evaluated and processed about the conditions as true and false. If the statement is true, the program runs and if it is false, then it doesn’t run.

If…Elif.. else Statement

The if..elif..else statement is used firstly to evaluate the if condition at first. If the statement of if is false, then the elif statement will be used and if it is also false, the else statement will be executed.

For loop

For loop can be defined as the specific control flow which is used for specifying an iteration statement that allows a particular code to be executed repeatedly.

While loop

In the while loop, the loop continues to run and execute a particular while statement as long as the statement is true and if it is found false the loop stops.

Break and Continue Keywords

In Python, the break statement generally terminates the loop contained in it. And the continue statement is used for the current iteration only and it skips the rest of the code inside a loop.

The entire Python free certification course is a recorded free course which means you can complete the course at your convenience. The entire Python Training Program will be completed with 13 detailed video lessons. The video lessons of the Python course are crisp and the students will also receive a Testbook authorized certificate on the completion of the course, which can be used as a reference for experience in Python.
