 Connect with database and can write solution as a python
program and executes.

Object Oriented Programming in Python
 Class: A user-defined prototype for an object that defines
a set of attributes that characterize any object of the class.
The attributes are data members (class variables and
instance variables) and methods, accessed via dot
notation.
 Object: Instance of a class. An object comprises both data
members (class variables and instance variables) and
methods.

OOP in Python: Defining a class
 A class is a special data type which defines how to build a
certain kind of object.
 The class also stores some data items that are shared by all the
instances of this class
 Instances are objects that are created which follow the
definition given inside of the class
 Python doesn’t use separate class interface definitions as in
some languages
 You just define the class and then use it

Defining Methods
 Define a method in a class by including function definitions within the
scope of the class block
 There must be a special first argument self in all method definitions which
gets bound to the calling instance
 There is usually a special method called __init__ in most classes
 There is no “new” keyword in python
 Use the class name with ( ) notation and assign the result to a
variable
 __init__ serves as a constructor for the class. Usually does some
initialization work
 The arguments passed to the class name are given to its __init__()
method
 So, the __init__ method for employee is passed “Bob” and 15000
and the new class instance is bound to b:
b=Employee(“Bob”,15000)

Simple class example
 class shareddata(object):
 a=44
 x=shareddata()
 y=shareddata()
 z=shareddata()
 print(x.a)
 print(y.a)
 print(z.a)
# Creates three instances
# Inherit and share a

Creating classes
class ClassName:
class variables
methods # methods are functions inside a class
Example:
 class Employee:
 empCount = 0
 def __init__(self, name, salary): #__init__ runs when a new instance object
is created. #self is an instance
 self.name = name
 self.salary = salary
 Employee.empCount += 1
 def displayCount(self):
 print(“count”, self.empCount)
 def displayDetails(self):
 print( "Name : ", self.name, ", Salary: ", self.salary )

Constructor: __init__
 An __init__ method can take any number of
arguments.
 Like other functions or methods, the arguments can be
defined with default values, making them optional to
the caller.
 However, the first argument self in the definition of
__init__ is special…

Program to update the employee salary.
 class Person:
 def __init__(self, name, job=None, pay=0):
 self.name = name
 self.job = job
 self.pay = pay
 def lastName(self): # Behavior methods
 return self.name.split()[-1] # self is implied subject
 def giveRaise(self, percent):
 self.pay = int(self.pay * (1 + percent)) # Must change here only
 if __name__ == '__main__':
 bob = Person(' Smith')
 sue = Person(' Jones', job='dev', pay=10000)
 print(bob.name, bob.pay)
 print(sue.name, sue.pay)
 print(bob.lastName(), sue.lastName()) # Use the new methods
 sue.giveRaise(.10) # instead of hardcoding
 print(sue.pay)

Subclasses
 A class can extend the definition of another class
Allows use (or extension ) of methods and attributes
already defined in the previous one.
 To define a subclass, put the name of the superclass in
parentheses after the subclass’s name on the first line
of the definition.
Class ECM_student(student):
 Python has no ‘extends’ keyword like Java.
 Multiple inheritance is supported.

Redefining Methods
 To redefine a method of the parent class, include a
new definition using the same name in the subclass.
 The old code won’t get executed.
 To execute the method in the parent class in addition
to new code for some method, explicitly call the
parent’s version of the method.
parentClass.methodName(self, a, b, c)
 The only time you ever explicitly pass ‘self’ as an
argument is when calling a method of an
ancestor.

Definition of a class extending student
Class Student: #“A class representing a student.”
def __init__(self,n,a):
self.full_name = n
self.age = a
def get_age(self):
return self.age
Class ECM_student (student): #class extending student.”
def __init__(self,n,a,s):
student.__init__(self,n,a) #Call __init__ for student
self.section_num = s
def get_age(): #Redefines get_age method entirely
print “Age: ” + str(self.age)

Database Programming
 The Python standard for database interfaces is the Python DB-
API.
 Python Database API supports a wide range of database servers
such as:
 MySQL
 PostgreSQL
 Microsoft SQL Server 2000
 Informix
 Interbase
 Oracle
 Sybase
 GadFly
 mSQL

Working with Databases through Python
 Download a separate DB API module for each database
you need to access.
 For example, to access an Oracle database as well as a
MySQL database, download both the Oracle and the
MySQL database modules.

Database connectivity and display version
 import MySQLdb # Open database connection
 db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )
 # prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
 cursor = db.cursor()
 # execute SQL query using execute() method.
 cursor.execute("SELECT VERSION()")
 # Fetch a single row using fetchone() method.
 data = cursor.fetchone()
 print "Database version : %s " % data
 # disconnect from server
 db.close()

Creating a Table Using python
 import MySQLdb
 # Open database connection
 db = MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TESTDB" )
 # Drop table if it already exist using execute() method.
 cursor.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS EMPLOYEE")
 # Create table as per requirement
 sql = """CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (
 empid Number(20) NOT NULL,
 NAME CHAR(20),
 Job char(10),
 Sal number(10))
 cursor.execute(sql)
 db.close

READ Operation
 READ Operation on any database means to fetch some useful
information from the database.
 Once database connection is established, then we can send a query
into this database.
 use either fetchone() method to fetch single record.
 fetchall() method to fetch multiple values from a database table.
fetchone(): It fetches the next row of a query result set.
 A result set is an object that is returned when a cursor object is
used to query a table.
 fetchall(): It fetches all the rows in a result set. If some rows have
already been extracted from the result set, then it retrieves the
remaining rows from the result set.
 rowcount: This is a read-only attribute and returns the number of
rows that were affected by an execute() method.

Program to display all the records from EMPLOYEE
table having salary more than 1000:
 import MySQLdb
 db =
MySQLdb.connect("localhost","testuser","test123","TEST
DB" )
 # Prepare SQL query to INSERT a record into the database.
 sql = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE
 WHERE INCOME > '%d'" % (1000)
 try:
 cursor.execute(sql)

 results = cursor.fetchall()
 for row in results:
 fname = row[0]
 lname = row[1]
 age = row[2]
 sex = row[3]
 income = row[4]
 # print fetched result
 print "fname=%s,lname=%s,age=%d,sex=%s,income=%d" %
 (fname, lname, age, sex, income )
 except:
 print "Error: unable to fecth data"
 db.close()

Lists
 An ordered group of items
 Does not need to be the same type
 Could put numbers, strings or donkeys in the same list
 List notation
 A = [1,”This is a list”, c, Donkey(“kong”)]

Methods of Lists
 List.append(x)
 adds an item to the end of the list
 List.extend(L)
 Extend the list by appending all in the given list L
 List.insert(I,x)
 Inserts an item at index I
 List.remove(x)
 Removes the first item from the list whose value is x

Examples of other methods
 a = [66.25, 333, 333, 1, 1234.5] //Defines List
 print a.count(333), a.count(66.25), a.count('x') //calls
method
 2 1 0 //output
 a.index(333)
 //Returns the first index where the given value appears
 1 //ouput
 a.reverse() //Reverses order of list
 a //Prints list a
 [333, 1234.5, 1, 333, -1, 66.25] //Ouput
 a.sort()
 a //Prints list a
 [-1, 1, 66.25, 333, 333, 1234.5] //Output

Using Lists as Stacks
 The last element added is the first element retrieved
 To add an item to the stack,
append() must be used
 stack = [3, 4, 5]
 stack.append(6)
 Stack is now [3, 4, 5, 6]
 To retrieve an item from the top of the stack, pop must be used
 Stack.pop()
 6 is output
 Stack is now [3, 4, 5] again

Using Lists as Queues
 First element added is the first element retrieved
 To do this collections.deque
must be implemented

List Programming Tools
 Filter(function, sequence)
 Returns a sequence consisting of the items from the sequence
for which function(item) is true
 Computes primes up to 25

Map Function
 Map(function, sequence)
 Calls function(item) for each of the sequence’s
items
 Computes the cube for the range of 1 to 11

Reduce Function
 Reduce(function, sequence)
 Returns a single value constructed by calling the binary
function (function)
 Computes the sum of the numbers 1 to 10

The del statement
 A specific index or range can be deleted

Tuples
 Tuple
 A number of values separated by commas
 Immutable
 Cannot assign values to individual items of a tuple
 However tuples can contain mutable objects such as lists
 Single items must be defined using a comma
 Singleton = ‘hello’,

Sets
 An unordered collection with no duplicate elements
 Basket = [‘apple’, ‘orange’, ‘apple’, ‘pear’]
 Fruit = set(basket)
 Fruit
 Set([‘orange’, ‘apple’, ‘pear’])

Dictionaries
 Indexed by keys
 This can be any immutable type (strings, numbers…)
 Tuples can be used if they contain only immutable objects

Looping Techniques
 Iteritems():
 for retrieving key and values through a dictionary

Looping Techniques
 Enumerate():
 for the position index and values in a sequence

 Zip():
 for looping over two or more sequences

Comparisons
 Operators “in” and “not in” can be used to see if an item
exists in a sequence
 Comparisons can be chained
 a < b == c
 This tests whether a is less than b and that b equals c

Fundamentals of Python: From First Programs Through Data Structures 39
Tree Terminology

Tree Terminology (continued)

Note: The height of a tree containing one node is 0
By convention, the height of an empty tree is –1
Tree Terminology (continued)

General Trees and Binary Trees
 In a binary tree, each node has at most two children:
 The left child and the right child

Recursive Definitions of Trees
 A general tree is either empty or consists of a finite set of
nodes T
 Node r is called the root
 The set T – {r} is partitioned into disjoint subsets, each of
which is a general tree
 A binary tree is either empty or consists of a root plus a left
subtree and a right subtree, each of which are binary trees

Why Use a Tree?
 A parse tree describes the syntactic structure of a
particular sentence in terms of its component parts

Why Use a Tree? (continued)
 File system structures are also tree-like

Why Use a Tree? (continued)
 Sorted collections can also be represented as tree-like
structures
 Called a binary search tree, or BST for short
 Can support logarithmic searches and insertions

The Shape of Binary Trees
 The shape of a binary tree can be described more
formally by specifying the relationship between its height
and the number of nodes contained in it
N nodes
Height: N – 1
A full binary tree contains
the maximum number of
nodes for a given
height H

The Shape of Binary Trees (continued)
 The number of nodes, N, contained in a full binary tree
of height H is 2H
+ 1 – 1
 The height, H, of a full binary tree with N nodes is log2(N
+ 1) – 1
 The maximum amount of work that it takes to access a
given node in a full binary tree is O(log N)

The Shape of Binary Trees (continued)

Three Common Applications of Binary
Trees
 In this section, we introduce three special uses of binary
trees that impose an ordering on their data:
 Heaps
 Binary search trees
 Expression trees

A Binary Tree ADT
 Provides many common operations required for building
more specialized types of trees
 Should support basic operations for creating trees,
determining if a tree is empty, and traversing a tree
 Remaining operations focus on accessing, replacing, or
removing the component parts of a nonempty binary tree
—its root, left subtree, and right subtree

The Interface for a Binary Tree ADT

The Interface for a Binary Tree ADT
(continued)

Processing a Binary Tree
 Many algorithms for processing binary trees follow the
trees’ recursive structure
 Programmers are occasionally interested in the frontier,
or set of leaf nodes, of a tree
 Example: Frontier of parse tree for English sentence shown
earlier contains the words in the sentence

Processing a Binary Tree (continued)
 frontier expects a binary tree and returns a list
 Two base cases:
 Tree is empty  return an empty list
 Tree is a leaf node  return a list containing root item

Implementing a Binary Tree

Implementing a Binary Tree (continued)

The String Representation of a Tree
 __str__ can be implemented with any of the traversals

Developing a Binary Search Tree
 A BST imposes a special ordering on the nodes in a
binary tree, so as to support logarithmic searches and
insertions
 In this section, we use the binary tree ADT to develop a
binary search tree, and assess its performance

The Binary Search Tree Interface
 The interface for a BST should include a constructor and
basic methods to test a tree for emptiness, determine the
number of items, add an item, remove an item, and search
for an item
 Another useful method is __iter__, which allows users to
traverse the items in BST with a for loop

Data Structures for the Implementation
of BST
…

Searching a Binary Search Tree
 find returns the first matching item if the target item is in
the tree; otherwise, it returns None
 We can use a recursive strategy

Inserting an Item into a Binary Search
Tree
 add inserts an item in its proper place in the BST
 Item’s proper place will be in one of three positions:
 The root node, if the tree is already empty
 A node in the current node’s left subtree, if new item is less
than item in current node
 A node in the current node’s right subtree, if new item is
greater than or equal to item in current node
 For options 2 and 3, add uses a recursive helper function
named addHelper
 In all cases, an item is added as a leaf node

Removing an Item from a Binary Search
Tree
 Save a reference to root node
 Locate node to be removed, its parent, and its parent’s
reference to this node
 If item is not in tree, return None
 Otherwise, if node has a left and right child, replace
node’s value with largest value in left subtree and delete
that value’s node from left subtree
 Otherwise, set parent’s reference to node to node’s only child
 Reset root node to saved reference
 Decrement size and return item

Removing an Item from a Binary Search
Tree (continued)
 Fourth step is fairly complex: Can be factored out into a
helper function, which takes node to be deleted as a
parameter (node containing item to be removed is referred
to as the top node):
 Search top node’s left subtree for node containing the largest
item (rightmost node of the subtree)
 Replace top node’s value with the item
 If top node’s left child contained the largest item, set top node’s
left child to its left child’s left child
 Otherwise, set parent node’s right child to that right child’s left
child

Complexity Analysis of Binary Search
Trees
 BSTs are set up with intent of replicating O(log n)
behavior for the binary search of a sorted list
 A BST can also provide fast insertions
 Optimal behavior depends on height of tree
 A perfectly balanced tree supports logarithmic searches
 Worst case (items are inserted in sorted order): tree’s height is
linear, as is its search behavior
 Insertions in random order result in a tree with close-to-
optimal search behavior

Case Study: Parsing and Expression
Trees
 Request:
 Write a program that uses an expression tree to evaluate
expressions or convert them to alternative forms
 Analysis:
 Like the parser developed in Chapter 17, current program
parses an input expression and prints syntax error messages if
errors occur
 If expression is syntactically correct, program prints its value
and its prefix, infix, and postfix representations

Case Study: Parsing and Expression Trees
(continued)

(continued)
 Design and Implementation of the Node Classes:

(continued)

(continued)
 Design and Implementation of the Parser Class:
 Easiest to build an expression tree with a parser that uses a
recursive descent strategy
 parse should now return an expression tree to its caller,
which uses that tree to obtain information about the
expression
 factor processes either a number or an expression nested in
parentheses
 Calls expression to parse nested expressions

(continued)

An Array Implementation of Binary
Trees
 An array-based implementation of a binary tree is difficult
to define and practical only in some cases
 For complete binary trees, there is an elegant and
efficient array-based representation
 Elements are stored by level
 The array representation of a binary tree is pretty rare
and is used mainly to implement a heap

An Array Implementation of Binary Trees
(continued)

(continued)

Implementing Heaps

Implementing Heaps (continued)
 At most, log2n comparisons must be made to walk up the
tree from the bottom, so add is O(log n)
 Method may trigger a doubling in the array size
 O(n), but amortized over all additions, it is O(1)

Using a Heap to Implement a Priority
Queue
 we can use a heap
