Python Coding – One Year Later: A Treasure Trove of Practical and Simple Examples Cathy Young ISBN: 9798707217357 M & C Publishing 356 Pages (December 2020) Learn the simple basics of debugging a Python script so your code runs as expected. Chapter 3 presents "Python Basics" because a big part of debugging is knowing the correct syntax for a particular object and task. Dozens of diagrams explain concepts such as indexing, slicing, scope, or recursive functions. The syntax relevant to each type of object is also shown. To add to a "list," you could use 'append,' 'join' or 'extend' methods. While adding a new key:value pair to a dictionary is straightforward, adding to an existing dictionary requires you to know the "type" of object in the key:value pair to determine which methods to use to add, update, or delete objects. Copy and paste over 50 real-world self-contained examples into your IDE and run the code snippets. Between the detailed Table of Contents and extensive Index, you can quickly find answers. The Index includes common phrases for those times when you don't know the technical term. For example, to find a string in Python, you could use the "in" comparison operator. Whether you look for "find" or "search," the Index refers you to the "in" comparison operator. The examples are varied so you can work with different types of data, such as: XML, HTML, matplotlib (plots/charts/graphs), OS (files/directories), *.txt, *.csv, user input, or dates.
