1. Functions

1. Functions

Functions are building blocks in Python. def multiply1(a, b):  return a * b multiply1(5, 4) 20

2. Positional and keyword arguments

2. Positional and keyword arguments

When we define a function, we specify its parameters. When a function is called, it must be provided with the values for the required parameters. The values for parameters are also known as arguments.

def multiply(a=1, b=1):  return a * b print(multiply(5, 4)) 20 print(multiply()) 1

2. Positional and keyword arguments

2. Positional and keyword arguments

3. *args

3. *args

*args allow a function to take any number of positional arguments.

def addition(*args):   result = 0   for i in args:      result += i   return resultprint(addition(1,4)) 5print(addition(1,7,3)) 11

4. **kwargs

4. **kwargs

**kwargs allow a function to take any number of keyword arguments.

def arg_printer(a, b, option=True, **kwargs):   print(a, b)   print(option)   print(kwargs)

5 Classes

5 Classes

Object oriented programming (OOP) paradigm is built around the idea of having objects that belong to a particular type. In a sense, the type is what explains us the object.

6 Lists

6 Lists

It is represented as a collection of data points in square brackets. Lists can be used to store any data type or a mixture of different data types. words = ['vista','academy']

7. Dictionaries

7. Dictionaries

Dictionary is an unordered collection of key-value pairs. Each entry has a key and value.

8. Sets

8. Sets

A set contains unique elements. An unordered grouping of unique hashable objects is referred to as a set.

9. Tuples

9. Tuples

A tuple is a group of values that are enclosed in parenthesis, separated by commas. Tuples, as opposed to lists, are immutable.

10. Lambda expressions

10. Lambda expressions

Lambda expressions are special forms of functions. In general, lambda expressions are used without a name. lambda x: x ** 2
