### 1.

Introduction to Python

#### Overview of Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and
readability. It is widely used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence,
scientific computing, and more.

#### History and Evolution of Python

- **Guido van Rossum** created Python in the late 1980s.
- The language emphasizes code readability and simplicity.
- Python 2.0 was released in 2000, followed by Python 3.0 in 2008, which introduced
several backward-incompatible changes.

#### Installation and Setup

- **Installing Python**: Instructions for downloading and installing Python from the
official website (python.org).
- **Setting Up the Environment**: Configuring the PATH variable, verifying
installation, and using the interactive shell.

#### Python IDEs and Tools

- **IDEs**: Overview of popular integrated development environments (IDEs) like
PyCharm, Visual Studio Code, and Jupyter Notebook.
- **Text Editors**: Using text editors like Sublime Text and Atom for Python
development.

### 2. Python Basics

#### Syntax and Structure

- **Indentation**: Python uses indentation to define code blocks.
- **Comments**: Using `#` for single-line comments and triple quotes (`"""`) for
multi-line comments.

#### Variables and Data Types

- **Variables**: Naming conventions and dynamic typing.
- **Data Types**: Integers, floats, strings, booleans, and type casting.

#### Basic Operators

- **Arithmetic Operators**: `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `//`, `%`, `**`.
- **Comparison Operators**: `==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, `>=`, `<=`.
- **Logical Operators**: `and`, `or`, `not`.

#### Input and Output

- **Input**: Using `input()` function to take user input.
- **Output**: Using `print()` function to display output.

### 3. Control Flow

#### Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)

- **Syntax**: Using `if`, `elif`, and `else` to execute code based on conditions.
```python
if condition:
# code block
elif another_condition:
# another code block
else:
# else code block
```

#### Loops (for, while)

- **For Loop**: Iterating over sequences (lists, tuples, strings).
```python
for item in sequence:
# code block
```
- **While Loop**: Executing code as long as a condition is true.
```python
while condition:
# code block
 ```

#### Comprehensions (List, Dictionary, Set)

- **List Comprehension**: Creating lists with a compact syntax.
```python
[expression for item in iterable if condition]
```
- **Dictionary Comprehension**: Similar to list comprehension but for dictionaries.
```python
{key: value for item in iterable if condition}
```
- **Set Comprehension**: Creating sets with a compact syntax.
```python
{expression for item in iterable if condition}
```

### 4. Functions and Modules

#### Defining Functions

- **Syntax**: Using `def` keyword to define functions.
```python
def function_name(parameters):
# code block
return value
```

#### Function Parameters and Return Values

- **Parameters**: Positional arguments, keyword arguments, and default values.
```python
def greet(name, msg="Hello"):
return f"{msg}, {name}"
```

#### Lambda Functions

- **Syntax**: Using `lambda` keyword to create anonymous functions.
```python
lambda parameters: expression
```

#### Importing Modules and Libraries

- **Import Syntax**: Using `import` statement to include external modules.
```python
import module_name
from module_name import specific_function
```

#### Creating and Using Custom Modules

- **Creating Modules**: Writing reusable code in separate files.
- Save code in a `.py` file and import it using `import filename`.
- Example:
```python
# my_module.py
def add(a, b):
return a + b
```

### 5. Data Structures

#### Lists
- **Creating Lists**: Using square brackets `[]`.
```python
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
```
- **List Methods**: Common methods like `append()`, `remove()`, `sort()`, and
slicing.
```python
my_list.append(5)
my_list.remove(2)
 ```

#### Tuples
- **Creating Tuples**: Using parentheses `()`.
```python
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4)
```
- **Tuple Properties**: Immutable, ordered collections.
```python
# Tuples cannot be changed
```

#### Dictionaries
- **Creating Dictionaries**: Using curly braces `{}` with key-value pairs.
```python
my_dict = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
```
- **Dictionary Methods**: Common methods like `get()`, `keys()`, `values()`.
```python
value = my_dict.get('key1')
```

#### Sets
- **Creating Sets**: Using curly braces `{}` or `set()` function.
```python
my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4}
```
- **Set Operations**: Union, intersection, difference.
```python
set1 = {1, 2, 3}
set2 = {3, 4, 5}
union_set = set1.union(set2)
```
#### Strings and String Manipulation
- **Creating Strings**: Using single, double, or triple quotes.
```python
my_string = "Hello, World!"
```
- **String Methods**: Common methods like `upper()`, `lower()`, `split()`, `join()`.
```python
upper_string = my_string.upper()
```

### 6. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

#### Classes and Objects

- **Defining Classes**: Using `class` keyword.
```python
class MyClass:
def __init__(self, attribute):
self.attribute = attribute
```
- **Creating Objects**: Instantiating a class.
```python
obj = MyClass(attribute_value)
```

#### Inheritance
- **Syntax**: Creating a subclass that inherits from a parent class.
```python
class ChildClass(ParentClass):
def __init__(self, attributes):
super().__init__(attributes)
```

#### Polymorphism
- **Method Overriding**: Redefining methods in a subclass.
 ```python
class ParentClass:
def method(self):
print("Parent method")

class ChildClass(ParentClass):
def method(self):
print("Child method")
```

#### Encapsulation
- **Access Modifiers**: Using public, protected, and private attributes.
```python
class MyClass:
def __init__(self):
self.public = "Public"
self._protected = "Protected"
self.__private = "Private"
```

#### Special Methods and Operator Overloading

- **Dunder Methods**: Implementing special methods like `__str__`, `__repr__`,
`__len__`.
```python
class MyClass:
def __str__(self):
return "This is MyClass"
```

### 7. Error Handling and Exceptions

#### Try, Except Blocks

- **Syntax**: Using `try`, `except` to catch exceptions.
```python
 try:
# code block
except ExceptionType as e:
# exception handling code
```

#### Catching Specific Exceptions

- **Multiple Except Blocks**: Handling different exceptions separately.
```python
try:
# code block
except ValueError:
# handle ValueError
except TypeError:
# handle TypeError
```

#### Finally and Else Clauses

- **Finally Block**: Code that always executes.
```python
try:
# code block
except Exception:
# handle exception
finally:
# code that runs regardless
```
- **Else Block**: Code that runs if no exception occurs.
```python
try:
# code block
except Exception:
# handle exception
else:
 # code if no exception
```

#### Custom Exceptions

- **Creating Custom Exceptions**: Defining user-defined exceptions.
```python
class CustomError(Exception):
pass

raise CustomError("An error occurred")

```

### 8. File Handling

```
- **JSON Files**: Using `json` module to parse

JSON data.
```python
 import json

with open('data.json', 'r') as file:

data = json.load(file)
```

```python
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse('data.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
```
