Simple Python Built-In Functions

abs(x)
Returns the absolute value for x
abs(-2) is 2
max(x1, x2,...)
Returns the largest among x1, x2,...
max(1, 5, 2) is 5
min(x1, x2,...)
Returns the smalles among x1, x2,...
min(1, 5, 2) is 1
pow(a, b)
Same as a ** b
pow(2, 3) is 8
round(x)
Returns an integer nearest to x. If x is equally close to two inetegers, the even one is returned
round(5.5) is 6
round(x, n)
Returns the float value rounded to n digits after the decimal point
round(­5.466, 2) is 5.47

Mathem­atical Functions in Python

fabs(x)
Returns the absolute value for x as a float
ceil(x)
Round up x
floor(x)
Round down x
exp(x)
expone­ntial function x(e^x)
log(x)
Natural logarithms
log(x)
Natural logarithms
log(x, base)
Logarithms of x for the specified base
sqrt(x)
Square root of x
sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)
sin, cos, tan of x angle in radians
asin(x), acos(x)
Inverse of sin, cos of an angle
degrees(x)
convert radians to degrees
radians(x)
convert degrees to radians

Strings and Characters

ASCII Code
American Standard Code for Inform­ation Interc­hange. Uses numbers 0 - 127. Can be accessed using alt key
Unicode Code
Unicode consor­tium, starts with \u and hexade­cimal nmbers

Escape Sequences for Special Characters

Character Escape Sequence
Name
\b
Backspace
\t
Tab
\n
Linefeed
\r
Carriage Return
\\
Backslash
\'
Single Quote
\"
Double Quote

Printing without the Newline

print("AAA", end = ' ')
print("BBB", end = '')
print("CCC", end = '*')
print("DDD", end = '*')

displays
AAA BBBCCCDDD

Invoke the print function with the end argument

n = 3
id(n)
type(n)

s = salalah
sl = s.lower()
print (s)
---
su = s.upper()
print(s)

s = “\t Salalah \n”
print(s)

s = s.strip()
print(s)

Convert numbers to a string

num1 = str(3.4)
print (num1)

num2 = str(5)
print (num2)

Read strings from the keyboard

firstname = input(“firstname is: “)
secondname =input(“second name is: “)
name = firstname + secondname
print (name)

print(firstname + “ “ + secondname)

To use the + operator to concat­enate strings

firstname = “ Mohammad”
secondname = “Ali”
name = firstname + secondname
print (name)

Firstname + = secondname
print(firstname)

use “ “ space

Format Strings and Numbers

a = 3
b = .123
c = a / b
print(c)
---
print (round(c,2))
---

print (format(c,”10.2f”))
print (format(c,”10.2e”))
print (format(c,”10.%”)
---
(for int only)
print(format(a,”b”)) #binary
print(format(a,”o”)) #octal
print(format(a,”x”)) #hexadecimal

Format Strings and Numbers cont...

print (format(c,”10.2f”))
print (format(c,”<10.2f”))
print (format(c,”>10.2f”)
---

print(format(a,”b”))
print(format(a,”<b”))
print(format(a,”>b”))
---
s = "I love Python"
print(s)
print(format(s,"20s"))
print(format(s,"<20s"))
print(format(s,">20s"))
 

Draw Various Shapes

import turtle

turtle.pensize(n) 1-3
turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(x,y) (-200,-50)
turtle.pendown()
turtle.circle(40, steps = 3) #triangle

turtle.done()

Draw graphics with colors and fonts

import turtle

turtle.pensize(n)
turtle.penup()
turtle.goto(x,y)
turtle.pendown()

turtle.begin_fill()
turtle.color(“color”)

turtle.circle(40, steps = 3)
turtle.end_fill()

turtle.done()
