"Short Hand If Else Notation In Python"

This PROGRAM or TUTORIAL about Python's "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python"

DOC

Before going through the if-else short-hand statement, we must be familiar with the basic definition, so we know what the short-hand statement actually is. In basic English, shorthand can be said as “a basic way of writing using abbreviations or symbols”. For example, we do not use the full name, Kentucky Fried Chicken, instead we use its abbreviation that is KFC. Writing in such a compact manner is known as shorthand. Now let us move towards the definition of shorthand with respect to the Python language.

“An executable statement, written in so compact manner that it comprises of only a single line of code is known as shorthand statement.”

Python supports many sorts of shorthand statements and with the help of these statements, we can write our code in a more compact sort or form using less space. We learned the original form of “if and else” statement in tutorial #13 of our playlist, we can also write it in a shorthand form of code.

If we write the statement:

If-expression if(Condition) else else-expression

It will be same as:

if condition:

   if-expression

else:

   else-expression

Now let us come to the question that why should we use shorthand if-else statement instead of the original one. First of all, you have to do less typing while using the shorthand form. If you are making a project that requires thousands of lines of code then, it is very hectic if you are writing something in four or five lines that could easily be written in a single line. This advantage would not be too convincing for a lot of viewers now and they would not like to adopt the shorthand method instead of the one they are using currently. In this case, this tutorial is still very important for them because if you are a coder then reading other people’s code is a must. Even though you are clearing your concepts by going through some code on Stack Overflow or making a group project with other programmers, you will surely encounter shorthand code at any time, so it is best to have a piece of prior knowledge about it.

            The second advantage of using the shorthand way of programming is that the compiler handles it in an efficient way. It does not matter for the short program even though if they are a couple of thousand lines long but when working on a huge project, like Amazon (12 Million lines of code) or Facebook (62 Million lines of code) or Google (2 Billion lines of code), then it is very important to save as many lines of code as we can by writing it in a compact form.

There is also a disadvantage of using shorthand, that it is not easily readable. When we are working on a group project, we always try to choose the approach that is the easiest to understand, and writing a compact code always bring difficulties when we share our code with someone. Even though whichever approach we follow, we should always have knowledge about all possible approaches, because everyone is not using the same approach.

CODE

#Short Hand If Else Notation In Python

a = int(input("Enter A \n"))
b = int(input("Enter B \n"))
#if a>b: print("A is greater than B")
print("A is greater than B") if a>b else print("B is greater than A")

Python Tutorial 38 --- "Self & __init__() (Constructors)(OOPS 3)"

 Python Tutorial 38 --- "Self & __init__() (Constructors)(OOPS 3)" Doc --- In this tutorial, we will be discussing methods and constructors in detail. If you are familiar with any other object-oriented programming language, then the concept will be easy for you to grasp. So, let us begin with the Method. Method: A method is just like a function, with a  def  keyword and a single parameter in which the name of the object has to be passed. The purpose of the method is to show all the details related to the object in a single go. We choose variables that we want the method to take but do not have to pass all of them as parameters. Instead, we have to set the parameters we want to include in the method during its creation. Using methods make the process simpler and a lot faster.  Self keyword: The self keyword is used in the method to refer to the instance of the current class we are using. The self keyword is passed as a parameter explicitly every time we define a method. de

Python Exercise 7 --- "Snake, Water, Gun"

 Python Exercise 7 --- "Snake, Water, Gun" Today's task for you guys will be to develop your first-ever Python game i.e.,  "Snake Water Gun." (Just like --- Rock, Paper, Scissor) Most of you must already be familiar with the game. Still, I will provide you with a brief description. This is a two-player game where each player chooses one object.  As we know, there are three objects, snake, water, and gun. So, the result will be  Snake vs. Water: Snake drinks the water hence wins. Water vs. Gun: The gun will drown in water, hence a point for water Gun vs. Snake: Gun will kill the snake and win. In situations where both players choose the same object, the result will be a draw. Now moving on to instructions: You have to use a random choice function that we studied in tutorial #38, to select between, snake, water, and gun. You do not have to use a print statement in case of the above function. Then you have to give input from your side. After getting ten consecutive

Python Tutorial 24 --- "Using Python External & Built In Modules"

Python Tutorial 24 ---   "Using Python External & Built In Modules" DOC: In Python, a module can be defined as a file containing a runnable python code.  The extension used by modules in Python is .py.  Hence any simple file containing Python code can be considered a module if its extension is .py. The file and module names are the same; hence we can call a module only by name without using the extension. Along with this, a module can define functions, classes, and variables. There are two types of modules. Built-in External Built-in Modules:             Built-in modules are already installed in Python by default. We can import a module in Python by using the import statement along with the specific module name. We can also access the built-in module files and can read the Python code present in them. Newly integrated modules are added in Python witch each update.  Some important modules names are as follows Modules Names Purpose calendar used in case we are working with
