- 1. 1 Introduction to Programming Introductionto Programming with Python with Python Marty Stepp (stepp@cs.washington.edu) Lecturer, Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington
- 2. 2 Some influentialones: FORTRAN science / engineering COBOL business data LISP logic and AI BASIC a simple language Languages
- 3. 3 code orsource code: The sequence of instructions in a program. syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that can be used in a particular programming language. output: The messages printed to the user by a program. console: The text box onto which output is printed. Some source code editors pop up the console as an external window, and others contain their own console window. Programming basics
- 4. 4 Compiling and interpreting Many languages require you to compile (translate) your program into a form that the machine understands. Python is instead directly interpreted into machine instructions. compile execute output source code Hello.java byte code Hello.class interpret output source code Hello.py
- 5. 5 Expressions expression: Adata value or set of operations to compute a value. Examples: 1 + 4 * 3 42 Arithmetic operators we will use: + - * / addition, subtraction/negation, multiplication, division % modulus, a.k.a. remainder ** exponentiation precedence: Order in which operations are computed. * / % ** have a higher precedence than + - 1 + 3 * 4 is 13 Parentheses can be used to force a certain order of evaluation. (1 + 3) * 4 is 16
- 6. 6 Integer division Whenwe divide integers with / , the quotient is also an integer. 3 52 4 ) 14 27 ) 1425 12 135 2 75 54 21 More examples: 35 / 5 is 7 84 / 10 is 8 156 / 100 is 1 The % operator computes the remainder from a division of integers. 3 43 4 ) 14 5 ) 218 12 20 2 18 15 3
- 7. 7 Real numbers Pythoncan also manipulate real numbers. Examples: 6.022 -15.9997 42.0 2.143e17 The operators + - * / % ** ( ) all work for real numbers. The / produces an exact answer: 15.0 / 2.0 is 7.5 The same rules of precedence also apply to real numbers: Evaluate ( ) before * / % before + - When integers and reals are mixed, the result is a real number. Example: 1 / 2.0 is 0.5 The conversion occurs on a per-operator basis. 7 / 3 * 1.2 + 3 / 2 2 * 1.2 + 3 / 2 2.4 + 3 / 2 2.4 + 1 3.4
- 8. 8 Math commands Pythonhas useful commands for performing calculations. To use many of these commands, you must write the following at the top of your Python program: from math import * Command name Description abs(value) absolute value ceil(value) rounds up cos(value) cosine, in radians floor(value) rounds down log(value) logarithm, base e log10(value) logarithm, base 10 max(value1, value2) larger of two values min(value1, value2) smaller of two values round(value) nearest whole number sin(value) sine, in radians sqrt(value) square root Constant Description e 2.7182818... pi 3.1415926...
- 9. 9 Variables variable: Anamed piece of memory that can store a value. Usage: Compute an expression's result, store that result into a variable, and use that variable later in the program. assignment statement: Stores a value into a variable. Syntax: name = value Examples: x = 5 gpa = 3.14 x 5 gpa 3.14 A variable that has been given a value can be used in expressions. x + 4 is 9 Exercise: Evaluate the quadratic equation for a given a, b, and c.
- 10. 10 print :Produces text output on the console. Syntax: print "Message" print Expression Prints the given text message or expression value on the console, and moves the cursor down to the next line. print Item1, Item2, ..., ItemN Prints several messages and/or expressions on the same line. Examples: print "Hello, world!" age = 45 print "You have", 65 - age, "years until retirement" Output: Hello, world! You have 20 years until retirement print
- 11. 11 input :Reads a number from user input. You can assign (store) the result of input into a variable. Example: age = input("How old are you? ") print "Your age is", age print "You have", 65 - age, "years until retirement" Output: How old are you? 53 Your age is 53 You have 12 years until retirement Exercise: Write a Python program that prompts the user for his/her amount of money, then reports how many Nintendo Wiis the person can afford, and how much more money he/she will need to afford an additional Wii. input
- 12. 12 Repetition (loops) Repetition (loops) andSelection (if/else) and Selection (if/else)
- 13. 13 The for loop for loop: Repeats a set of statements over a group of values. Syntax: for variableName in groupOfValues: statements We indent the statements to be repeated with tabs or spaces. variableName gives a name to each value, so you can refer to it in the statements. groupOfValues can be a range of integers, specified with the range function. Example: for x in range(1, 6): print x, "squared is", x * x Output: 1 squared is 1 2 squared is 4 3 squared is 9 4 squared is 16 5 squared is 25
- 14. 14 range The rangefunction specifies a range of integers: range(start, stop) - the integers between start (inclusive) and stop (exclusive) It can also accept a third value specifying the change between values. range(start, stop, step) - the integers between start (inclusive) and stop (exclusive) by step Example: for x in range(5, 0, -1): print x print "Blastoff!" Output: 5 4 3 2 1 Blastoff! Exercise: How would we print the "99 Bottles of Beer" song?
- 15. 15 Cumulative loops Someloops incrementally compute a value that is initialized outside the loop. This is sometimes called a cumulative sum. sum = 0 for i in range(1, 11): sum = sum + (i * i) print "sum of first 10 squares is", sum Output: sum of first 10 squares is 385 Exercise: Write a Python program that computes the factorial of an integer.
- 16. 16 if if statement:Executes a group of statements only if a certain condition is true. Otherwise, the statements are skipped. Syntax: if condition: statements Example: gpa = 3.4 if gpa > 2.0: print "Your application is accepted."
- 17. 17 if/else if/else statement:Executes one block of statements if a certain condition is True, and a second block of statements if it is False. Syntax: if condition: statements else: statements Example: gpa = 1.4 if gpa > 2.0: print "Welcome to Mars University!" else: print "Your application is denied." Multiple conditions can be chained with elif ("else if"): if condition: statements elif condition: statements else: statements
- 18. 18 while while loop:Executes a group of statements as long as a condition is True. good for indefinite loops (repeat an unknown number of times) Syntax: while condition: statements Example: number = 1 while number < 200: print number, number = number * 2 Output: 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
- 19. 19 Logic Many logicalexpressions use relational operators: Logical expressions can be combined with logical operators: Exercise: Write code to display and count the factors of a number. Operator Example Result and 9 != 6 and 2 < 3 True or 2 == 3 or -1 < 5 True not not 7 > 0 False Operator Meaning Example Result == equals 1 + 1 == 2 True != does not equal 3.2 != 2.5 True < less than 10 < 5 False > greater than 10 > 5 True <= less than or equal to 126 <= 100 False >= greater than or equal to 5.0 >= 5.0 True
- 20. 20 Text and FileProcessing Text and File Processing
- 21. 21 string: Asequence of text characters in a program. Strings start and end with quotation mark " or apostrophe ' characters. Examples: "hello" "This is a string" "This, too, is a string. It can be very long!" A string may not span across multiple lines or contain a " character. "This is not a legal String." "This is not a "legal" String either." A string can represent characters by preceding them with a backslash. t tab character n new line character " quotation mark character backslash character Example: "HellottherenHow are you?" Strings
- 22. 22 Indexes Characters ina string are numbered with indexes starting at 0: Example: name = "P. Diddy" Accessing an individual character of a string: variableName [ index ] Example: print name, "starts with", name[0] Output: P. Diddy starts with P index 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 character P . D i d d y
- 23. 23 String properties len(string)- number of characters in a string (including spaces) str.lower(string) - lowercase version of a string str.upper(string) - uppercase version of a string Example: name = "Martin Douglas Stepp" length = len(name) big_name = str.upper(name) print big_name, "has", length, "characters" Output: MARTIN DOUGLAS STEPP has 20 characters
- 24. 24 raw_input :Reads a string of text from user input. Example: name = raw_input("Howdy, pardner. What's yer name? ") print name, "... what a silly name!" Output: Howdy, pardner. What's yer name? Paris Hilton Paris Hilton ... what a silly name! raw_input
- 25. 25 Text processing textprocessing: Examining, editing, formatting text. often uses loops that examine the characters of a string one by one A for loop can examine each character in a string in sequence. Example: for c in "booyah": print c Output: b o o y a h
- 26. 26 Strings and numbers ord(text) - converts a string into a number. Example: ord("a") is 97, ord("b") is 98, ... Characters map to numbers using standardized mappings such as ASCII and Unicode. chr(number) - converts a number into a string. Example: chr(99) is "c" Exercise: Write a program that performs a rotation cypher. e.g. "Attack" when rotated by 1 becomes "buubdl"
- 27. 27 File processing Manyprograms handle data, which often comes from files. Reading the entire contents of a file: variableName = open("filename").read() Example: file_text = open("bankaccount.txt").read()
- 28. 28 Line-by-line processing Readinga file line-by-line: for line in open("filename").readlines(): statements Example: count = 0 for line in open("bankaccount.txt").readlines(): count = count + 1 print "The file contains", count, "lines." Exercise: Write a program to process a file of DNA text, such as: ATGCAATTGCTCGATTAG Count the percent of C+G present in the DNA.

- 30. 30 DrawingPanel To createa window, create a drawingpanel and its graphical pen, which we'll call g : from drawingpanel import * panel = drawingpanel(width, height) g = panel.get_graphics() ... (draw shapes here) ... panel.mainloop() The window has nothing on it, but we can draw shapes and lines on it by sending commands to g . Example: g.create_rectangle(10, 30, 60, 35) g.create_oval(80, 40, 50, 70) g.create_line(50, 50, 90, 70)
- 31. 31 Graphical commands Command Description g.create_line(x1,y1, x2, y2) a line between (x1, y1), (x2, y2) g.create_oval(x1, y1, x2, y2) the largest oval that fits in a box with top-left corner at (x1, y1) and bottom-left corner at (x2, y2) g.create_rectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2) the rectangle with top-left corner at (x1, y1), bottom-left at (x2, y2) g.create_text(x, y, text="text") the given text at (x, y) The above commands can accept optional outline and fill colors. g.create_rectangle(10, 40, 22, 65, fill="red", outline="blue") The coordinate system is y-inverted: (0, 0) (200, 100)
- 32. 32 Drawing with loops We can draw many repetitions of the same item at different x/y positions with for loops. The x or y assignment expression contains the loop counter, i, so that in each pass of the loop, when i changes, so does x or y. from drawingpanel import * window = drawingpanel(500, 400) g = window.get_graphics() for i in range(1, 11): x = 100 + 20 * i y = 5 + 20 * i g.create_oval(x, y, x + 50, y + 50, fill="red") window.mainloop() Exercise: Draw the figure at right.
