🐍 Python: From Beginner to Advanced

1. 🔤 Variables
Overview:

● Variables are containers for storing data values. Python dynamically assigns the variable
type based on the value.

Example:

name = "Alice" # String

age = 25 # Integer
height = 5.7 # Float

Tip:

● 💡 Use meaningful variable names to enhance code readability.

2. ➕ Operators
Overview:

● Operators in Python are used to perform operations on variables and values.

Types:

● Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %, **, //

● Comparison Operators: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
● Logical Operators: and, or, not
● Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=
● Bitwise Operators: &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>

Example:
x = 10
y = 5

result = x + y # Arithmetic: 15
is_equal = (x == y) # Comparison: False
is_greater_and_even = (x > y) and (x % 2 == 0) # Logical: True

Tip:

● 💡 Combine operators for complex calculations or logic checks.

3. 🛠️ Functions
Overview:

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

Creating a Function:

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

Calling a Function:

print(greet("Alice")) # Output: Hello, Alice!

Tip:

● 💡 Use functions to reduce redundancy and improve code organization.

4. 📚 Libraries and Modules

Libraries:
 ● Python libraries are collections of pre-written code for common tasks. Examples include
NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

Example:

import math
result = math.sqrt(16) # Output: 4.0

Modules:

● A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements. Importing a module

allows you to use its functions and classes.

Creating a Module:

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

Using a Module:

import mymodule
print(mymodule.greet("Alice")) # Output: Hello, Alice!

Tip:

● 💡 Explore Python’s libraries and use modules to keep your code organized.

5. 📦 Packages
Overview:

● Packages are collections of modules organized in a directory hierarchy. They help

structure large projects.

Creating a Package:
Structure:

mypackage/
__init__.py
module1.py
module2.py

Tip:

● 💡 Use packages to logically organize your codebase for large projects.

6. 🧩 Methods
Overview:

● Methods are functions associated with objects. They operate on data contained in the
object.

Example:

text = "hello world"

print(text.upper()) # Output: HELLO WORLD

Tip:

● 💡 Learn common methods for strings, lists, and dictionaries to streamline your
coding.

7. 🛠️ Refactoring
Overview:

● Refactoring improves the structure of existing code without changing its behavior.

Techniques:
 ● Extract Method: Move repeated code into a function.
● Rename Variable: Use descriptive variable names.
● Simplify Expressions: Break down complex expressions.

Example:

# Before Refactoring
result = (x + y) * z

# After Refactoring
def calculate_sum_and_multiply(x, y, z):
return (x + y) * z

Tip:

● 💡 Regularly refactor your code for better readability and maintainability.

8. 🎨 Enum (Enumerations)
Overview:

● Enums are symbolic names for a set of values. They are used to define a fixed set of
constants.

Example:

from enum import Enum

class Color(Enum):
RED = 1
GREEN = 2
BLUE = 3

Tip:

● 💡 Use Enums to handle fixed sets of values more effectively.

9. 📦 Tuples, Dictionaries, Sets
Tuples:

● Immutable ordered collections.

Example:

point = (10, 20)

Dictionaries:

● Key-value pairs for mapping data.

Example:

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

Sets:

● Unordered collections of unique elements.

Example:

unique_numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Tip:

● 💡 Use tuples for fixed data, dictionaries for key-value mapping, and sets for unique
collections.

10. 🔄 Map, Filter, Reduce

Map:

● Applies a function to all items in an input list.

Example:

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
squared = list(map(lambda x: x**2, numbers)) # [1, 4, 9, 16]

Filter:

● Filters elements based on a function.

Example:

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
evens = list(filter(lambda x: x % 2 == 0, numbers)) # [2, 4]

Reduce:

● Reduces a list to a single value by applying a function cumulatively.

Example:

from functools import reduce

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
total = reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, numbers) # Output: 10

Tip:

● 💡 Use map, filter, reduce for efficient data processing.

11. 🧱 Class & Objects

Overview:

● Python is object-oriented. Classes are blueprints for creating objects.

Creating a Class:

class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, model):
self.brand = brand
self.model = model

def drive(self):
return f"The {self.brand} {self.model} is driving."

my_car = Car("Toyota", "Corolla")

print(my_car.drive()) # Output: The Toyota Corolla is driving.

Tip:

● 💡 Use classes to encapsulate data and behavior.

12. 🧰 Exceptions
Overview:

● Exceptions handle runtime errors using try-except blocks.

Example:

try:
result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("You can't divide by zero!")

Tip:

● 💡 Use exceptions to handle errors gracefully and maintain program flow.

13. ⚙️ Overloading
Overview:

● Method overloading allows defining multiple methods with the same name but different
parameters.

Example:

class Calculator:
def add(self, a, b, c=None):
if c:
return a + b + c
return a + b

calc = Calculator()
print(calc.add(5, 10)) # Output: 15
print(calc.add(5, 10, 15)) # Output: 30

Tip:

● 💡 Use method overloading to increase function versatility.

14. 🔄 Iterators
Overview:

● An iterator allows you to traverse through all elements of a collection.

Creating an Iterator:

numbers = [1, 2, 3]
iterator = iter(numbers)

print(next(iterator)) # Output: 1
print(next(iterator)) # Output: 2

Tip:

● 💡 Use for loops to iterate over iterables without manually handling iterators.

15. ⚙️ Generators
Overview:

● Generators yield items one at a time, which is memory efficient.

Creating a Generator:

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

counter = count_up_to(5)
for number in counter:
print(number)

Tip:

● 💡 Use generators for large datasets to optimize memory usage.

16. 📋 List Comprehensions

Overview:

● List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists.

Example:
squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)]

Tip:

● 💡 Use list comprehensions for cleaner and more concise code.

17. 🔍 Regular Expressions

Overview:

● Regular expressions are used for string matching and manipulation.

Example:

import re

text = "The rain in Spain"

match = re.search(r"\bS\w+", text) # Matches 'Spain'
print(match.group()) # Output: Spain

Tip:

● 💡 Keep regex patterns simple for better readability.

18. 🔄 Serialization
Overview:

● Serialization converts an object into a format that can be easily saved or transmitted.

Example:

import json
data = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}
json_data = json.dumps(data)
loaded_data = json.loads(json_data)

Tip:

● 💡 Use JSON for human-readable and easy-to-parse serialization.

19. 🎛️ Partial Functions

Overview:

● Partial functions allow you to fix some arguments of a function and create a new
function.

Example:

from functools import partial

def multiply(x, y):

return x * y

double = partial(multiply, 2)
print(double(5)) # Output: 10

Tip:

● 💡 Use partial functions to simplify frequently used functions.

20. 🔒 Closures
Overview:

● A closure is a function that remembers values in its enclosing scope even if they are not
present in memory.
Example:

def outer_function(msg):
def inner_function():
print(msg)
return inner_function

greet = outer_function("Hello")
greet() # Output: Hello

Tip:

● 💡 Use closures to create functions with preserved state.

21. 🎨 Decorators
Overview:

● Decorators modify the behavior of a function or class.

Creating a Decorator:

def my_decorator(func):
def wrapper():
print("Before the function.")
func()
print("After the function.")
return wrapper

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

say_hello()

Tip:
 ● 💡 Use decorators to add reusable code functionality without modifying the original
function.
