Programming.with.Python.pdf

Based on the latest version of the language, this book offers a self-contained, concise and coherent introduction to programming with Python. The book’s primary focus is on realistic case study applications of Python. Each practical example is accompanied by a brief explanation of the problem-terminology and concepts, followed by ne cessary program development in Python using its constructs, and simulated testing. Given the open and participatory nature of development, Python has a variety of incorporated data structures, which has made it difficult to present it in a coherent manner. Further, some advanced concepts (super, yield, generator, decorator, etc.) are not easy to explain. The book specially addresses these challenges; starting with a minimal subset of the core, it offers users a step-by-step guide to achieving proficiency. Table of Contents Chapter 1 Python–A Calculator Chapter 2 Algebra with Variables Chapter 3 Simple Programs Chapter 4 Functions and Modules Chapter 5 Sequences and Operations with Sequences Chapter 6 Additional Operations with Sequences Chapter 7 Operations for Text Processing Chapter 8 Operations with Files Chapter 9 Application Modules Chapter 10 Classes and Objects Chapter 11 Time Related Operations Chapter 12 Functional Programming Aids cessary program development in Python using its constructs, and simulated testing.
