MODULE 2 : PYTHON FOR DATA SCIENCE

1. INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity,

readability, and versatility. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991,
Python has grown into one of the most popular languages worldwide. Its design
philosophy emphasizes readability and simplicity, making it accessible for beginners
and powerful for advanced users. Python supports multiple programming paradigms
including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.

Python's key features include:

• Interpreted Language: Code is executed line-by-line by an interpreter,

facilitating rapid development and debugging.
• Extensive Standard Library: Provides numerous modules and functions for
diverse tasks without needing external libraries.
• Versatility: Widely used across various domains such as web development,
data science, AI/ML, automation, and scripting.
• Syntax Simplicity: Uses significant whitespace (indentation) to delimit code
blocks, enhancing readability.

12
 • Interactive Mode (REPL): Supports quick experimentation and prototyping
directly in the interpreter.

Example:

DOMAIN USAGE

Python finds application in numerous domains:

• Web Development: Django and Flask are popular frameworks for building web
applications.

and visualization.
• AI/ML: TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn are used for developing AI models and
machine learning algorithms.
• Automation and Scripting: Python's simplicity and extensive libraries make it
ideal for automating tasks and writing scripts.

2. BASIC SYNTAX AND VARIABLES

Python's syntax is designed to be clean and easy to learn, using indentation to define
code structure. Variables in Python are dynamically typed, meaning their type is
inferred from the value assigned. This makes Python flexible and reduces the amount
of code needed for simple tasks.

Detailed Explanation:

Python's syntax:

• Uses indentation (whitespace) to define code blocks, unlike languages that use
curly braces {}.
• Encourages clean and readable code by enforcing consistent indentation
practices.

Variables in Python:

• Dynamically typed: You don't need to declare the type of a variable explicitly.
• Types include integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries, etc.

Example:

13
3. CONTROL FLOW STATEMENTS

Control flow statements in Python determine the order in which statements are
executed based on conditions or loops. Python provides several control flow
constructs:

Detailed Explanation:

1. Conditional Statements (if, elif, else):

o Used for decision-making based on conditions.
o Executes a block of code if a condition is true, otherwise executes
another block.

Example:

Output:

14
 2. Loops (for and while):

• for loop: Iterates over a sequence (e.g., list, tuple) or an iterable object.
• while loop: Executes a block of code as long as a condition is true.

Example:

Output:

Example Explanation:

• Conditional Statements: In Python, if statements allow you to execute a

block of code only if a specified condition is true. The elif and else clauses
provide additional conditions to check if the preceding conditions are false.
• Loops: Python's for loop iterates over a sequence (e.g., a range of numbers)
or an iterable object (like a list). The while loop repeats a block of code as
long as a specified condition is true.

4. FUNCTIONS

15
Functions in Python are blocks of reusable code that perform a specific task. They
help in organizing code into manageable parts, promoting code reusability and
modularity.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Function Definition (def keyword):

o Functions in Python are defined using the def keyword followed by the
function name and parentheses containing optional parameters.
o The body of the function is indented.

Example:

2. Function Call:

• Functions are called or invoked by using the function name followed by

parentheses containing arguments (if any).

Example:

3. Parameters and Arguments:

• Functions can accept parameters (inputs) that are specified when the
function is called.
• Parameters can have default values, making them optional.

Example:

16
 Example Explanation:

• Function Definition: Functions are defined using def followed by the

function name and parameters in parentheses. The docstring (optional)
provides a description of what the function does.
• Function Call : Functions are called by their name followed by parentheses
containing arguments (if any) that are passed to the function.
• Parameters and Arguments: Functions can have parameters with default
values, allowing flexibility in function calls. Parameters are variables that
hold the arguments passed to the function.

5. DATA STRUCTURES

Python provides several built-in data structures that allow you to store and organize
data efficiently. These include lists, tuples, sets, and dictionaries.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Lists:

• Ordered collection of items.

• Mutable (can be modified after creation).
• Accessed using index.

Example:

17
2. Tuples:

• Ordered collection of items.

• Immutable (cannot be modified after creation).
• Accessed using index.

Example:

3. Sets:

• Unordered collection of unique items.

• Mutable (can be modified after creation).
• Cannot be accessed using index.

Example:

4. Dictionaries:

• Unordered collection of key-value pairs.

• Mutable (keys are unique and values can be modified).
• Accessed using keys.

Example:

Example Explanation:

• Lists: Used for storing ordered collections of items that can be changed or
updated.
• Tuples: Similar to lists but immutable, used when data should not change.
• Sets: Used for storing unique items where order is not important.

18
 • Dictionaries: Used for storing key-value pairs, allowing efficient lookup and
modification based on keys.

6. FILE HANDLING IN PYTHON:

File handling in Python allows you to perform various operations on files, such as
reading from and writing to files. This is essential for tasks involving data storage and
manipulation.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Opening and Closing Files:

• Files are opened using the open() function, which returns a file object.
• Use the close() method to close the file once operations are done.

Example:

2. Reading from Files:

• Use methods like read(), readline(), or readlines() to read content from files.
• Handle file paths and exceptions using appropriate error handling.

Example:

3. Writing to Files:

19
 • Open a file in write or append mode ("w" or "a").
• Use write() or writelines() methods to write content to the file.

Example:

Example Explanation:

• Opening and Closing Files: Files are opened using open() and closed using
close() to release resources.
• Reading from Files: Methods like read(), readline(), and readlines() allow
reading content from files, handling file operations efficiently.
• Writing to Files: Use write() or writelines() to write data into files, managing file
contents as needed.

7. ERRORS AND EXCEPTION HANDLING

Errors and exceptions are a natural part of programming. Python provides

mechanisms to handle errors gracefully, preventing abrupt termination of programs.

Detailed Explanation:

1. Types of Errors:
o Syntax Errors: Occur when the code violates the syntax rules of Python.
These are detected during compilation.
o Exceptions: Occur during the execution of a program and can be
handled using exception handling.
2. Exception Handling:

• Use try, except, else, and finally blocks to handle exceptions.

• try block: Contains code that might raise an exception.
• except block: Handles specific exceptions raised in the try block.
• else block: Executes if no exceptions are raised in the try block.
• finally block: Executes cleanup code, regardless of whether an exception
occurred or not.

Example:

20
3. Raising Exceptions:

• Use raise statement to deliberately raise exceptions based on specific

conditions or errors.

Example:

Example Explanation:

• Types of Errors: Syntax errors are caught during compilation, while exceptions
occur during runtime.
• Exception Handling: try block attempts to execute code that may raise
exceptions, except block catches specific exceptions, else block executes if no
exceptions occur, and finally block ensures cleanup code runs regardless of
exceptions.
• Raising Exceptions: Use raise to trigger exceptions programmatically based on
specific conditions.

8. OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING (OOP) USING PYTHON

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm that allows you to structure your

software in terms of objects that interact with each other. Python supports OOP
principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

21
Detailed Explanation:

1. Classes and Objects:

• Class: Blueprint for creating objects. Defines attributes (data) and methods
(functions) that belong to the class.
• Object: Instance of a class. Represents a specific entity based on the class
blueprint.

Example:

2. Encapsulation:

• Bundling of data (attributes) and methods that operate on the data into a single
unit (class).
• Access to data is restricted to methods of the class, promoting data security
and integrity.

3. Inheritance:

• Ability to create a new class (derived class or subclass) from an existing class
(base class or superclass).
• Inherited class (subclass) inherits attributes and methods of the base class and
can override or extend them.

22
 Example:

4. Polymorphism:

• Ability of objects to take on multiple forms. In Python, polymorphism is

achieved through method overriding and method overloading.
• Same method name but different implementations in different classes.

Example:

Example Explanation:

• Classes and Objects: Classes define the structure and behavior of objects,
while objects are instances of classes with specific attributes and methods.
• Encapsulation: Keeps the internal state of an object private, controlling access
through methods.
23
 • Inheritance: Allows a new class to inherit attributes and methods from an
existing class, facilitating code reuse and extension.
• Polymorphism: Enables flexibility by using the same interface (method name)
for different data types or classes, allowing for method overriding and
overloading.
