 Introduction

In real life we need to store data like-

 Name of students – A sequence of alphabet character
 Marks of n students – A sequence of either integer or float value
 Student’s record – A sequence of name, branch, roll number, address etc
So to represent these type of data in python provides us some built in collections.

7
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Contd…
Representation of Python Collections with the help of Figure:

 If data is the combination of

numeric data, alphanumeric or
of different types than we go
for List, Tuple or set .

 If data is in the form of key-

value pair than we go for
dictionary.

8
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 String
A string is a sequence of alphanumeric and
special character.

String is the collection of characters, it may

compose of alphanumeric and special
characters.

Strings are created in many ways using

single quotes or double-quotes.

Alphanumeric characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9; Special symbol: *, -, +, $, @, whitespace …. etc

9
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Creation of Empty String

Empty String

 An empty string is a string having no

character.
 We have three ways to create an empty
string as shown in syntax.
 An Empty String is created by single quotes,
double quotes and str().

10
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Creation of Non Empty String

 A non-empty string is a sequence of alphanumeric character with at least one character.

 A non-empty string is created by using single quotes and double quotes

11
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Assessing the String

 String Element can be accessed using Square

Bracket.

 These Square brackets [ ] take an index as

input.

 In Python we have two types of Indexing.

 Positive Indexing
 Negative Indexing

12
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Positive Indexing

 Positive indexing
start from Zero (0)
and from left hand
side i.e. first
character store at
index 0, second at
index 1 and so on.

 Every character of
string has some
index value.

13
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Negative Indexing

 Negative
Indexing starts
from negative
indexing start
from -1 and
from right-hand
side.

 Last character
store at index -
1 and as we
move towards
the left, it keeps
increasing like -
2, -3, and so
on.

14
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Example

 Write a program to print character 'P' and 'L' using positive indexing and negative indexing.
Assume a string st = 'I Like Python’, is given.

15
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 String Slicing

 String slicing is the way of selection

of substring.

 String 'Like' is substring in given 'I Like

Python' string.

 [] we can access string characters by

giving indexes if we use colon inside
square bracket like [:] it becomes a
slicing operator in Python.

16
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Syntax of String Slicing

 Start index: Index from

which slicing starts.

 End Index: Index up to

which slicing end.

 Step value is optional.

17
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Examples of String Slicing

Example Explanation Syntax

st[ 2 : 6 ] It starts with the 2nd index and ending with (6It
starts with the 2nd index and ending with (6-1=5)th
index.-1=5)th index.
st[ 0 : 6 : 2 ] It starts with index 0th and end with (6-1=5) th. Step
is 2 So, it will give value at index 0,2,4

st[ 12 : 6 : -1] It starts slicing from 12th index up to 6-1=5th index.

12th to 6th in opposite direction because step is
negative.

18
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Contd..

Example Explanation Syntax

st[ -11 : -7 ] It starts with -11th index and ending with (-

7-1 = -8)th index.

[:] The operator gives the complete original

string.*

[:6] Start index is missing and step is +1, So

it will start from 0 till 6-1=5th index.*

19
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Contd..

Example Explanation Syntax

st[ 7 : ] It will start from index 7 to last index ( Last

index missing )*

st[ : : -1] Step is -1, So start index will be the last

index and end index will be first index
when start and end is missing.
st[ 2 : 6 : -1 ] This is explaining in Note Section **
Output – Empty string

20
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Important Points to Remember

Note about *, **

 * When start index is missing it will start from either first character or from last. It
depends on step sign (positive or negative).
 * When end index is missing it will execute till last character or first character. It depends
on step sign (positive or negative).
 * When we take negative steps it will scan from start to end in opposite direction.
 ** In the case of step is positive or negative the slicing will be done as below given
algorithm.

 Comparison

22
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Updation in String
 Strings in python are Immutable(un-changeable) sequences, which means it does not support new
element assignment using indexes.

 Lets try to understand this concept with the help of an example

In the above example string does not allow assigning a new element, because item assignment does
not support by string.

 Deletion

 In String, we can’t reassign the string characters but we can delete the complete string
using del command.

 Lets try to understand this concept with the hep of an example

In the above example , after deletion when we try to print the string st it gives NameError : st not
defined.

 String Built in methods:

 String supports a variety of Built-In

methods for achieving different types
of functionalities.

 All built-in methods provide us to use

as plug and play, we do not have to
implement it.

 In python methods are called using

dot(.) operator

 String Formatters:

 String formatting is the process of infusing things in the string dynamically and presenting
the string.

Why to use String Formatter??

 For different types of requirement to print the string in a formatted manner.

 Here, format implies that in what look and feel we want our strings to get printed.

 Python string provides a number of options for formatting.

 String Format()

Method 1: It is a beneficial method for formatting strings; it uses {} as a placeholder.

 We have placed two curly braces and arguments that give the format method filled in
the same output.

45
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 String Format()

 If we want to change the order of , we can give an index of parameters of format

method starting with 0th index.

 We can also use keywords arguments in format method, as shown in the

following example, as shown in figure.

48
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 String Format()

 We can also use format specifier in format method like in language ‘C’. Format
specifier are used to do following.

 Represent value of amount = 12.68456 at two decimal place

 Represent value of integer in Binary, Octal or Hexadecimal etc.

Note: In the above example b is used for binary representation.

 Practice Exercises

58
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 List

.  Python List is the most commonly used sequence.

 Important points about list are as follows.

 List elements are enclosed in square brackets [] and are comma separated.

 List is the sequence of class type ‘list’.

 List can contain elements of different data types.

 List is a mutable(changeable) sequence, would be discussed in detail in 3.2.3

 List allows duplicate elements.

 List elements are ordered, it means it give specific order to the elements, if new element is
added, by default it comes at the end of the list.

59
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 List

Real World Scenario:

List Representation
 List is used when there is a
possibility of elements of different
data type.

 For example record of a particular

student, having name as string,
roll.no as integer, marks as float,
father’s name as string.

 To contain this record list is the

appropriate sequence.

60
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 List Example

 In this example a variable named list

example has been created and three
elements have been assigned.

 As we have enclosed elements in

square brackets, this makes list
example is of type list.

61
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Ordered Property of List

 Ordered sequence of the list means the

order in which elements appear is unique

 The position of every element is fixed.

 If we change the position of any element,

then list would not be the same anymore.

62
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Creation of List

List can be created by many ways as follows.

Creation of Empty List Creation of Non Empty List

63
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Accessing the List

Indexing the List

 In the list index are started from 0, it means first element takes 0 index and it increases like
0,1,2…(n-1).
 List also supports negative indexing.

 It means last element can be accessed using -1 index, second last as -2 and so on.

64
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Slicing

 Slicing is used to get substring from a string.

 We use Slice operator in the list to get a sub list.

Start= Optional argument by default value

is 0.
End = Optional argument by default value is
number of elements in the list. If any
number given, then value is taken as
number-1.
Step=Options argument by default value is
1.
Colon 1: Required
Colon 2: Optional

65
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Slicing Example

 Single colon[:]- It is used to print the entire list.

 Double colon[:]- It is used to print the entire list.

 l[2::]-It is used to print the list starting from index 2 till

the last element of the list.

 L[2:5:]- We have set start and end both as 2 and 5,

so it’s starting from 2 and ending with (5-1) and
printing values for indexes 2,3 and 4 index.

 L[2:5:2]-end and step has been set as 2,5 and 2. So

output substring starting from index 2, ending with 5-
1=4 and step counter is 2, so its skipping alternate
element.
66
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Examples of List Slicing

Operator Explanation Example

[:] This gives a complete original list

[1:3] It starts with 1th index and ending

with (3-1=2) index

[2:] Sub list starts with index 2 and

ends at last element as nothing
specified on right side of the
colon

67
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Examples of List Slicing

Operator Explanation Example

[1:4:] Start=1, stop=4 and by default

step=1.

[1:4:2] Start=1, stop=4 and by step=2.

As the step is 2, it took every 2nd
element.
[::-1] Starting is 0th index and stopping
at last index and step is negative
count so that it would print in
reverse order

68
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Updation in List:

 List updating involves insertion of new elements, deletion of elements or deletion of complete list.

 List is a mutable sequence it means it allows changes in the elements of list.

69

 Add new element in List:

 We can add elements to the existing list using append function.

 Append function always add the element at the end of the list.

Syntax:

Listname.append (element to be added)

In this example element 5 has been

appended in the originally existed list. It’s
being added in the last

74
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Changing new element in List:

 Value of the element at index 3 has been assigned new value as 5, so element in the output
list is changed from 4 to 5.

75
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Deletion in List:

List elements can be deleted.

 Using del command If we know the position(index) of the element which is to be deleted.

 We can use the remove method by giving the specific element as given in the example If we know the
position(index) of the element.

76
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Deletion in List:

 list1 has been deleted and then we are trying to print it and its giving error because
it does not exist now.

77

 Built in Methods in List

Method Remark Example

len() It calculates the length of the list or the

number of elements in the list.

max(list) It returns the maximum element from the list

min(list) It returns a minimum element from the list

list(seq) It converts into any sequence into a list

78
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Contd..

Method Remark Example

pop() It deletes the last element from the list

Note – We can also pass index as argument in pop() to
delete a specific index value.

count() It counts the occurrences of a particular element in the list

sort() Sort the elements of the list in ascending order

reverse() Sort the elements of the list in reverse order

79

 Operations on List

 Python supports variety of operations on the list

Operation Remark Example

Concatenation Operation adds two list

elements

Repitition It repeats the list specified

number of times

Membership To check whether an element

belongs to the list or not

Membership not I return true of an element

that does not belong to the list

81
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Example

 Write Python Program to swap elements in the list.

82
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Practice Problems

 Take a list input from user having integer elements and calculate sum and average of the
list.

 Take an input list and swap string elements of the list with empty string.

 Example

 Write a python program to print all positive number of a list.

Practice Exercise:

 Write a python program to remove duplicate from the list.

 Write a python program to count positive, negative and string type elements.

85
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Nested List

 When we have an element of a list in the form of the list itself, it is called Nested List.

 Elements of the nested list can be accessed using the 2-D indexing access method.

In this example, first [1] denotes [3,4] and second [1] represents 4, so it gives output as 4.

86
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Nested List as a Matrix

 We can represent nested list as matrix also.

 For this we would use nested for loop.

 Outer loop would run for number of elements in the list and inner loop would consider
individual element of the nested list as a list.

87
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Example

 Create a flat list from a nested list.

.
Practice Exercise:
 Using nested list print transpose, of a given matrix

 Print reverse order of a nested list

 List Comprehensions

 Let's suppose we want to write a program to calculate powers of 3 for a given range.

 Python provide us writing iterative programs in much

 Traditional Programming
lesser lines called List comprehension.

 The same problem has been solved using list

 Tuple

 Tuple is an immutable (unchangeable) ordered collection of elements of different data types.

 Generally, when we have data to process, it is not required to modify the data values.

 Take an example of week days, here the days are fixed. So, it is better to store the values in the data
collection, where modification is not required.

 Creation of Tuple

Creation of Empty Tuple Creation of Non Empty Tuple

 Syntax of Creating Non Empty Tuple

 In above example, the () round brackets are used

to create the variable of tuple type.

 We can also call the class to create a tuple object

as shown in example below.

94
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Example

 Write a program in python to create one element in tuple

 If you want to create a tuple with single value, it is required to add a comma after the single value as
shown in the above example c=(‘college’,).

 If the comma is not placed, then the single value a= (1) or b=(ABES) will be treated as an
independent value instead of the data collection.
.

 Packing and Unpacking of Tuple

 Tuple can also be created without using parenthesis; it is known as packing.

 Write a program to create tuple without parenthesis.

In above example 1, newtup4=3,4,5,” hello” creates a new tuple without parenthesis.

96
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Unpacking of Tuple

 Write a program to unpack elements in tuple

 Unpacking is called when the multiple variables is assigned to a tuple; then these variables take
corresponding values.

Practice Questions:

 Write a Python program to create the colon of a tuple.

.
 Write a Python program to unpack a tuple in several variables.

97
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Accessing Elements in Tuple

 Tuple elements can be accessed using indexes, just like String and List .

 Each element in the tuple is accessed by the index in the square brackets [].

 An index starts with zero and ends with (number of elements - 1)

Example:

Write a program to access index 1 element from tuple.

In above example 1: tuple newtup carries multiple types of data in it as “hello” is string, 2 is integer, and
.
23.45 is float. If we can fetch the index 1 element using print(newtup[1]).

98
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Contd…

 Write a program to access index 0 element from tuple.

 Basically, the -1 index will return the last value of tuple.

 Indexes start from zero, and it goes up to a number of elements or say -1.

 Take another example to fetch the -1 index from tuple.

 last element is accessed by print(tuple_days[-1]).

.

99

 Indexing in Tuple and Slicing

 Slicing in a tuple is like a list that extracts a part of the tuple from the original tuple.

 Write a program to access elements from 0 to 4 index in tuple.

 Write a program to access elements from 1 to 3 index in tuple.

100
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Modification/Updating a Tuple

 If we want to change any of the index value in tuple, this is not allowed and throw an error.

 Tuple object does not support item assignment.

 Here, we are taking the same above example of days and showing the immutable
characteristic of tuple

101
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Practice Exercises

 Write a Python program to get the 4th element and 4th element from last of a tuple.

 Write a Python program to check whether an element exists within a tuple.

104
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Loops and Conditions on Tuples

 Tuple can be traversed using Loop

 Take the tuple named tuple_days and print all its elements

 In this example The elements are printed while iterating through for loop condition for in tuple_days and then
we print the values of i in each iteration.

105
Copyright © 2021, ABES Engineering College
 Loops and Conditions on Tuples

Example:
 Let have a look to the example where we are placing a condition to return the values
having word length greater than 3.

 In above example , The elements are printed while iterating through for loop condition for in tuple_days
and then we print the values of i in each iteration with the condition if(len(i)>3)

 Comparison between List and Tuple

List Tuple
Mutable Sequence Immutable Sequence
Accession Slower than Tuple because of Faster access of elements due to
mutable property immutable property
It cannot be used as Dictionary keys Can work as a key of the dictionary
Not suitable for application which needs It suits such scenarios where write

 Dictionaries

 Dictionary is a unique data collection of Python which stores the

key-value pair.
 The user can add an element by giving a user-defined index called a key.
 Each key and its corresponding value makes the key-value pair in dictionary.
 This key-value pair is considered as one item in dictionary.

109
