In this article, you will learn the python Keywords, built in Functions,String Methods,list Methods, Math Module, Random Module, Python Operators, and Python Dates, along with programming best practices.

What is python keywords?

It is a set of keywords that are reserved words that cannot be used as variable names, function names, or any other identifiers, like

Function

Description

class

To define a class

def

To define a function

In

To check if a value is present in a list, tuple, etc.True or false

True / Fulse

Boolean value, result of comparison operations

While

To create a while loop

pass

A null statement, a statement that will do   nothing

import

To import a module

if

To make a conditional statement

else

Used in conditional statements

elif

Used in conditional statements, same as else if

What are the Built in Functions? 

Function

Description

abs()

It returns the absolute value of a number

dir() 

It returns list of the attributes and methods of any object

round()

It returns a floating point number that is a rounded version of the specified number, with the specified number of decimals

pow()

It returns the value of x to the power of y

max()

It returns the largest of the input values

min()

It returns the smallest of the input values

sum()

It calculates the total of all numerical values

 len()

The number of elements stored in the object is never calculated, so len helps provide the number of elements

Format()

It formats the specified value(s) and insert them inside the string's placeholder

 The placeholder is defined using curly brackets: {}

filter()

It filters the given sequence with the help of a function that tests each element in the sequence to be true or not

map()

It applies a given function to each item of an iterable (list, tuple etc.) and returns an iterator

reverse()

It reverses the elements of the list

super()

Returns an object that represents the parent class

What are the String Methods? 

Function

Description

count()

It return the number of times the values appears int the list

find()

It used to return the lowest index value of the first occurrence of the substring from the input string; else it returns -1

rfind()

It finds the last occurrence of the specified value

split()

It split a string into a list where each word is a list item

join()

It join all items in a tuple / list into a string, using a hash character as separator

isalnum()

It returns True if all the characters are alphanumeric, meaning alphabet letter (a-z) and numbers (0-9)

isdigit()

It returns True if all the characters are digits, otherwise False

strip()

It remove spaces at the beginning and at the end of the string

lower()

It converts all uppercase characters in a string into lowercase characters and returns it

upper()

It converts all lowercase characters in a string into uppercase characters and returns it

swapcase()

It converts all uppercase characters to lowercase and all lowercase characters to uppercase characters of the given string, and returns it

title()

It returns a string where the first character in every word is upper case

String Methods: How to Call & write Functions?

Wha is list Methods? 

Function

Description

sort()

It sorts the elements of a given list in a specific ascending or descending order

What are math module?

Function

Description

Remainder()

It returns the remainder when x is divided by y

sqrt()

It returns the square root of a number

What is Random module?

Function

Description

random()

It returns any random integer from 0 to 9

What are python Operators? 

Operator

Description

  *

Repeating strings

  +

Add a variable to another variable

 " "

To add a space

What does python Dates mean?

A date in Python is not a data type of its own, but we can import a module named datetime to work with dates as date objects.

Creating Date Objects

import datetime
Date = datetime.date(2020,2,13)
print (Date)

Current date

import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.today()
print (now)
