Python Tutorial 2---"Comments, Escape Sequences & Print Statement"

 Python Tutorial 2---

This PROGRAM or TUTORIAL about Python's  "Comments, Escape Sequences & Print Statement"

DOC

Comments in Python:

Comments are used to write something which the programmer does not want to execute. Comments can be written to mark author name, date when the program is written, adding notes for your future self, etc.

  • Comments are used to make the code more understandable for the programmer.
  • The Interpreter does not execute comments.

There are two types of comments in Python Language -:

  • Single Line Comment
  • Multi-Line Comment

Single Line Comment: Single Line comments are the comments which are written in a single line, i.e., they occupy the space of a single line.

  • We use # (hash/pound to write single-line comments).

Multi-Line Comment: Multi-Line comments are the comments which are created by using multiple lines, i.e., they occupy more than one line in a program.

  • We use ' ' '….. Comment ….' ' ' for writing multi-line comments in Python (Use lines enclosed with three quotes for writing multi-line comments). 

Python Print Statement:

print() is a function in Python that allows us to display whatever is written inside it. In case an operation is supplied to print, the value of the expression after the evaluation is printed on the screen.

end: end argument allows us to put something at the end of the line after it is printed. In simple words, it allows us to continue the line with " " or ',' or anything we put inside these quotes of the end.
It simply joins two different print statements using some string or even by space.

Escape Sequences :

  • An Escape Sequence character in Python is a sequence of characters that represents a single character.
  • It doesn't represent itself when used inside string literal or character.
  • It is composed of two or more characters starting with backslash \ but acts as a single character. Example \n depicts a new line character.
Some more examples of escape sequence characters are shown below:


CODE

#TUT 2 - Comments, Escape Sequences & Print Statement
#Use hashtags for one-line comments
"""
use three
double quotes
for multiline comments
"""
print("Hello World", end=" ")
"""     Use end="" for keep going in the same line.
        You can put anything or nothing in the "".
        You put something in the quotes it will show as it is
"""
print ("My name is Saswata")
print("Hello world, no other print command or end line command,")
print("c\saswata")
"""if you put c\harry & c\narry it will succesfully print harry but not narry because narry
thats because \n is an escape sequence. 
BTW, "\" is called Backslash"""
#\t is tab. It will gives you a tab space if you put it in your print.
#There is many escape sequences we can Search GOOGLE for that
print("print statement") #this is a end print statement
"""
you can add a end print statement in the same line you used your print command
but you can't write a statement infront of your print command
 because its hashtag or quote make the command into a statement/comment
 but you can always use a statement/comment before by just using a separate line"""


OUTPUT


C:\Python38\python.exe C:/Users/Saswata/PycharmProjects/pythontuts/Tut2.py
Hello World My name is Saswata
Hello world, no other print command or end line command,
c\saswata
print statement

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 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 m...

Python Tutorial 13 --- "Short Hand If Else Notation In Python"

 Python Tutorial 13 --- "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 or...
