Description
This book on PYTHON emphasizes on programming skills required to solve real-world problems. The book starts with a chapter on introduction to Python with features of python, variables, data types, operators and expressions. The next chapter addresses decision making statements, control structure and functions. These topics’ gives the reader the ability to choose a particular block of code for execution and helps the user to specify the control flow. This is followed by a chapter on strings and lists in python. The reader gets to know the string operators and string functions available in python with easy examples. The practical examples on list operators and built-in functions give the reader an elaborate knowledge on the topic. The following chapter has very good examples and explanation for tuples and dictionaries in python. The last chapter of the book has coverage on files and exception handling, which provides the complete working on files, directory, built-in exceptions and user-defined exceptions. Overall this book will be a handy tool for all beginners.
