2. Python
▪a programming language that lets you work
quickly and integrate systems more effectively
(Python Software Foundation)
▪created by Guido van Rossum (1990)
▪named after the popular British comedy troupe
Monty Python’s Flying Circus

3. Why Python?
▪works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux,
Raspberry Pi, etc.)
▪has a simple syntax
▪runs on an interpreter system
▪can be treated in a procedural way, an object-
oriented way or a functional way
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
4. Why Python?
▪has extremely rich libraries
▪has extensive online documentation
▪has multiple programming communities
▪has diverse applications:
✓ web development (server-side)
✓ software development
✓ mathematics
✓ system scripting
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
5. Python Input/Output Functions
print()
▪used to generate an output at the console
▪Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
print("Hello, Class!")
print(1)
6. Python Input/Output Functions
input()
▪used to read a line of input entered by the user at
the console and returns it as a string
▪Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
num = input("Enter number:")
print(num)
7. Python Syntax
▪indentation
• refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line
• very important in Python since it indicates a block
of code
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
if 2 > 1:
print("Two is greater than one.")
if 2 > 1:
print("Two is greater than one.")
8. Python Syntax
▪indentation
• number of spaces is up to you as a programmer
• the most common use is four, but it has to be at
least one
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
if 2 > 1:
print("Two is greater than one.")
if 2 > 1:
print("Two is greater than one.")
9. Python Syntax
▪indentation
• the same number of spaces should be used in the
same block of code
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
if 2 > 1:
print("Two is greater than one!")
print("Two is greater than one!")
if 2 > 1:
print("Two is greater than one!")
print("Two is greater than one!")
10. Python Comments
▪start with a #
▪make code readable
▪completely ignored by the interpreter
▪Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
#This is a comment.
print("Hello, Class!")
print("Hello, Class!") #This is a comment.
11. Python Comments
▪Multiline Comments
▪Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
#Comment1
#Comment2
#Comment3
print("Hello, Class!")
"""Comment1
Comment2
Comment3"""
print("Hello, Class!")
Multiline String can also be used
• since Python will ignore string literals
that are not assigned to a variable
12. Python Variables
▪containers for storing data values
▪Python has no command for declaring a variable
▪a variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
x = 1
y = "Hello"
print(x)
print(y)
assignment operator: =
a, b, c = 9, 2.5, 'Hello'
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)
num1 = num2 = 20
print(num1)
print(num2)
13. Python Variables
Rules for naming variables
▪must start with a letter or the underscore character
▪cannot start with a number
▪can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-
z, 0-9, and _ )
▪are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are three different
variables)
▪cannot be any of the Python keywords
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
14. Python Variables
▪do not need to be declared with any particular type,
and can even change type after they have been set
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
x = 1 # x is of type int
x = "Hello" # x is now of type str
print(x)
15. Python Variables
▪Casting
▪ done to specify type of
variable
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
x = str(1) # x will be '1'
y = int(1) # y will be 1
z = float(1) # z will be 1.0
▪type() function
▪ returns the data type of a
variable
▪ Ex:
x = 1
y = "Hello"
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
16. Python Variables
output variables
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
x = "A good day"
print(x)
x = "A"
y = "good"
z = "day"
print(x, y, z)
x = "A"
y = "good"
z = "day"
print(x+y+z)
x = 2
y = 9
print(x+y)
x = 2
y = "good"
print(x+y)
x = 2
y = "good"
print(x,y)
17. Python Variables
Global variables
▪created outside of a function
▪can be used inside and outside of functions
▪Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
x = "hi"
def myfunc():
print("Python is " + x)
myfunc()
x = "hi"
def myfunc():
x = "hello"
print("Python is " + x)
myfunc()
print("Python is " + x)

▪if a value has content, it is evaluated to true (i.e. any string is true except empty string,
any number is true except 0, etc.)
▪empty values, such as (),[],{},"",0,and None, evaluate to false
▪ Ex:
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
bool("a") #true
bool("1") #true
bool('') #false
bool(None) #false
24. Python Data Types

▪used to store multiple items in a single variable
ECE115.2: Object Oriented Programming for ECE Prepared by: Engr. Ria Marie P. Cordova
colorList = ["red", "blue", "yellow", "green"]
print(colorList)
✓Items in a list are ordered, changeable, and
allow duplicate values
✓They are indexed (1st item has index [0], the 2nd
item has index [1], and so on)
enclosed with
brackets
25. Python Data Types

3. Set
▪ a collection which is unordered, unchangeable (but you can add/remove items), and unindexed.
No duplicate members.
4. Dictionary
▪ a collection which is ordered** and changeable. No duplicate members.
