MIT 6.0001 Comprehensive Python Cheat Sheet

The MIT 6.0001 Comprehensive Python Cheat Sheet covers essential Python programming concepts including variables, control flow, loops, functions, recursion, data structures (lists, tuples, dictionaries), object-oriented programming, file I/O, exception handling, algorithms, and debugging techniques. It provides code examples for each topic to illustrate usage and functionality. This cheat sheet serves as a quick reference for fundamental Python programming skills.

MIT 6.

0001 Comprehensive Python Cheat Sheet

1. Variables and Types


x = 10 # int
y = 3.14 # float
name = "Alice" # string
flag = True # boolean
x, y = y, x # swap values

2. Control Flow
if x > 5:
print("Greater")
elif x == 5:
print("Equal")
else:
print("Less")

# Short-hand if:
result = "Yes" if x > 0 else "No"

3. Loops
# While loop
i = 0
while i < 5:
print(i)
i += 1

# For loop with range


for i in range(3): # 0,1,2
print(i)

# Looping over lists


for item in [1, 2, 3]:
print(item)

4. Functions & Scope


def square(x):
return x * x

def outer():
x = 10
def inner():
return x + 1
return inner()

print(outer()) # 11
MIT 6.0001 Comprehensive Python Cheat Sheet

5. Recursion
def factorial(n):
if n == 0:
return 1
return n * factorial(n - 1)

6. Strings and String Methods


s = "hello"
s.upper(), s.lower(), s.find("e"), s.replace("e", "a")
s[1:4], len(s), s[::-1] # slicing and reverse

7. Lists
lst = [1, 2, 3]
lst.append(4)
lst[0] = 0
del lst[1]
squares = [x**2 for x in range(5)]

8. Tuples & Multiple Assignment


t = (1, 2)
a, b = t # unpacking
def f():
return (3, 4)
x, y = f()

9. Dictionaries
d = {"a": 1, "b": 2}
d["c"] = 3
for key in d:
print(key, d[key])

10. Higher-Order Functions & Lambdas


def apply_to_each(lst, f):
return [f(x) for x in lst]

print(apply_to_each([1,2,3], lambda x: x**2))

11. OOP: Classes and Objects


class Dog:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def speak(self):
MIT 6.0001 Comprehensive Python Cheat Sheet

return self.name + " says Woof!"

d = Dog("Rex")
print(d.speak())

12. File I/O


# Write
with open("test.txt", "w") as f:
f.write("Hello\n")

# Read
with open("test.txt", "r") as f:
print(f.read())

13. Exception Handling


try:
x = 5 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero")
finally:
print("Done")

14. Algorithms from the Course


# Bisection Method for square root
def bisect_sqrt(x, eps=0.01):
low, high = 0, max(1, x)
guess = (high + low)/2.0
while abs(guess**2 - x) > eps:
if guess**2 < x:
low = guess
else:
high = guess
guess = (high + low)/2.0
return guess

15. Newton-Raphson Method


def newton_raphson(f, df, x0, eps=1e-5):
x = x0
while abs(f(x)) > eps:
x = x - f(x)/df(x)
return x

# Example: sqrt(2)
f = lambda x: x**2 - 2
df = lambda x: 2*x
print(newton_raphson(f, df, 1.0))

16. Debugging & Testing


# Use print statements or IDE debuggers
# Use assert for testing:
assert square(3) == 9
print("All tests passed!")
