# Python Cheatsheet Python is a high-level programming language known for its simplicity, readability, and versatility. Here is an overview of its features, code blocks, and resources. ## Features - Python is an interpreted language, which means that it does not need to be compiled before running. - Python has a large standard library that provides many useful modules and functions for a wide range of tasks. - Python is dynamically typed, which means that variables do not need to be declared before use. - Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. - Python is cross-platform and can run on many different operating systems. ## Code Blocks ### Variables Variables are used to store data that can be used later in the script.
variableName = value
### Functions Functions are code blocks that perform a specific task. They can be called by other parts of the script.
def functionName(parameter1, parameter2):
# code to be executed
### Conditionals Conditionals allow the script to make decisions based on certain conditions.
if condition:
# code to be executed if condition is true
elif otherCondition:
# code to be executed if otherCondition is true
else:
# code to be executed if neither condition is true
### Loops Loops allow the script to repeat a set of instructions.
for i in range(10):
# code to be executed
### File Manipulation Python can be used to manipulate files and folders on the file system.
import os
for file in os.listdir("."):
if file.endswith(".txt"):
print(file)
### User Interface Python can be used to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using libraries such as tkinter.
import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Hello, World!")
label = tk.Label(root, text="Hello, World!")
label.pack()
root.mainloop()
