Print

str = 'Hello World!'

print str # Prints complete string

print str[0] # Prints first character of the string

print str[2:5] # Prints characters starting from 3rd to 5th

print str[2:] # Prints string starting from 3rd character

print str * 2 # Prints string two times

print str + "TEST" # Prints concatenated string
Hello World!

llo World!
Hello World!Hello World!

List:

#!/usr/bin/python

list = [ 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2 ]

tinylist = [123, 'john']

print list # Prints complete list

print list[0] # Prints first element of the list

print list[1:3] # Prints elements starting from 1nd till 2nd

print list[2:] # Prints elements starting from 3rd element

print tinylist * 2 # Prints list two times

print list + tinylist # Prints concatenated lists

['abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003]
abcd
[786, 2.23]
[2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003]

['abcd', 786, 2.23, 'john', 70.200000000000003, 123, 'john']

Tuple:

#!/usr/bin/python

tuple = ( 'abcd', 786 , 2.23, 'john', 70.2 )

tinytuple = (123, 'john')

print tuple # Prints complete list

print tuple[0] # Prints first element of the list

print tuple[1:3] # Prints elements starting from 2nd till 3rd

print tuple[2:] # Prints elements starting from 3rd element

print tinytuple * 2 # Prints list two times

print tuple + tinytuple # Prints concatenated lists

#!/usr/bin/python

dict = {}
dict['one'] = "This is one"

dict[2] = "This is two"

tinydict = {'name': 'john','code':6734, 'dept': 'sales'}

print dict['one'] # Prints value for 'one' key

print dict[2] # Prints value for 2 key

print tinydict # Prints complete dictionary

print tinydict.keys() # Prints all the keys

print tinydict.values() # Prints all the values
This is one
This is two

If clause:

#!/usr/bin/python

var = 100

if ( var == 100 ) : print "Value of expression is 100"

print "Good bye!"

Value of expression is 100
Good bye!

While:

#!/usr/bin/python

count = 0

while (count < 9):

print 'The count is:', count

count = count + 1

print "Good bye!"

The count is: 0
The count is: 1
The count is: 2
The count is: 3
The count is: 4
The count is: 5
The count is: 6
The count is: 7
The count is: 8
Good bye!
Infinite loop:

#!/usr/bin/python

var = 1
while var == 1 : # This constructs an infinite loop

num = raw_input("Enter a number :")

print "You entered: ", num

print "Good bye!"

Enter a number :20
You entered: 20
Enter a number :29
You entered: 29
Enter a number :3
You entered: 3
Enter a number between :Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 5, in <module>
num = raw_input("Enter a number :")
KeyboardInterrupt

Above example goes in an infinite loop and you need to use CTRL+C to exit the program.

While else:

#!/usr/bin/python

count = 0
while count < 5:

print count, " is less than 5"

count = count + 1

else:
print count, " is not less than 5"
0 is less than 5
1 is less than 5
2 is less than 5
3 is less than 5
4 is less than 5
5 is not less than 5

while clause consists only of a single statement, it may be placed on the same line as the while header.

while (flag): print 'Given flag is really true!'

For strings:

#!/usr/bin/python

for letter in 'Python': # First Example

print 'Current Letter :', letter

fruits = ['banana', 'apple', 'mango']

for fruit in fruits: # Second Example

print 'Current fruit :', fruit

print "Good bye!"

Current Letter : P
Current Letter : y
Current Letter : t
Current Letter : h
Current Letter : o
Current Letter : n
Current fruit : banana
Current fruit : apple
Current fruit : mango
Good bye!

Using else Statement with Loops:

#!/usr/bin/python

for num in range(10,20): #to iterate between 10 to 20

for i in range(2,num): #to iterate on the factors of the number

if num%i == 0: #to determine the first factor

j=num/i #to calculate the second factor

print '%d equals %d * %d' % (num,i,j)

break #to move to the next number, the #first FOR

else: # else part of the loop

print num, 'is a prime number'
10 equals 2 * 5
11 is a prime number
12 equals 2 * 6
13 is a prime number
14 equals 2 * 7
15 equals 3 * 5
16 equals 2 * 8
17 is a prime number
18 equals 2 * 9
19 is a prime number
