Introduction to Programming - Datatypes, Conditions, Strings: Part - B

Flashcards summarizing key concepts from the lecture on programming including data types, control flows, string operations, and built-in functions.

Primitive Types

Basic data types in programming such as integers, floats, and booleans.

Iteration

The process of repeating a set of instructions a certain number of times or until a condition is met.

Syntax Warning

A message indicating that there is a potential error in the syntax, such as using 'is not' with a literal.

Control Flow

The order in which individual statements, instructions, or function calls are executed in a program.

Logic Operators

Operators used to perform logical operations on boolean values: 'and', 'or', and 'not'.

String Immutability

The property of strings in Python that prevents modification of the string after it has been created.

Comments in Code

Annotations in code that are ignored by the interpreter, used to explain or clarify sections of code.

Comparison Operators

Operators used to compare two values, resulting in a boolean value (e.g., >, <, ==, !=).

While Loop

A control flow statement that allows code to be executed repeatedly based on a boolean condition.

For Loop

A control flow statement for traversing a sequence (like a list or string) and executing code for each item.

String Concatenation

The operation of joining two or more strings together to form a single string.

Built-in Functions

Predefined functions provided by Python to perform common tasks, such as len(), range(), print().

Escape Characters

Special characters used in strings to represent certain characters or formatting (e.g., \n for new line).

Iterable

An object capable of returning its members one at a time, allowing it to be looped over.

Triple-quoted String

A string that can span multiple lines, enclosed in three quotes (single or double).

Removing Whitespaces

Using functions like strip(), lstrip(), and rstrip() to remove spaces from a string.

Slicing

Extracting parts of sequences (like strings) by specifying a start and end index.

Isalnum Method

A string method that checks if all characters in the string are alphanumeric.
