Python Tutorial - Basics

Python is used across different organizations and utilized for multiple projects across the world. It's very easy to learn, maintain, and update. It is open-source, available for free, and supports multiple projects as well. It can be used for scripting in the background, creating wonderful programs, and also can be used for processing complex items like Natural Language Processing, Medical Image Processing, or even more complex items.

The good thing about Python is easy to Learn. Effective to use, and moreover less number of lines of code. It's just like writing it in plain English and less number of brackets but uses the power of the indentation.  

This post will have some steps, to begin with. like installing, IDE setup, printing, reading the inputs, and variables declaration. 

Installation:

To install python, go to the official website and download it on your computer. You can install it on any operating system. If you prefer to run online IDE, there are so many good websites available.

I personally prefer, https://colab.research.google.com/. They provide free GPU and TPU features, which will be used for processing huge data in a short time. We will discuss this in feature posts. 

There are so many IDEs available for Python execution, including the official IDE from python. Spyder, Jupyter Notebook, and PyCharm are some of the famous IDEs which is supported in multiple operating systems.

MS Visual studio code and Notepad++ are also used by some developers. 

For beginners and basic usage, I would recommend using the python IDE that comes by default. Once you understand the basics, then you can try out plenty of options available for free and select your own. 

I am going to use MS Visual studio code later in the posts since it has the GitHub Pilot option and Git Integration. 

Printing:

To print something, we can use the simple command "print".

print ("Hello World!")

Print Hello World in Python

If you are going to use MS Visual studio code, then it will look like this,


print ("Hello World!")

Age calculator program

Age Calculator Here is a simple script for an age calculator program in Python: This script prompts the user to enter their birth year, month, and day, and then uses the calculate_age() function to calculate the user's age based on the current date. The calculate_age() function takes in the birth year, month, and day as arguments, and returns the age as an integer.  Alternatively, you can use the date of birth as input and calculate the current date in the function: It will work the same as the previous one, but you don't need to input year, month, and day separately.

Python Interview Questions: Python Cache

Python Interview Questions: Python Cache  Can you explain how you would use decorators in Python to add caching functionality to a specific function in a large application, and how you would handle cache invalidation? Yes, I can explain how to use decorators in Python to add caching functionality to a specific function in a large application and how to handle cache invalidation. First, I would create a decorator function called "cache" that takes in the function to be decorated as an argument. Inside the decorator function, I would define a dictionary to store the function's results, with the function's arguments as the keys and the results as the values. Next, I would create a nested function called "wrapper" which would check if the function's arguments existed in the dictionary. If they do, it will return the cached result. If they don't, it would call the original function, store the result in the dictionary, and then return the result. The decor...
