Some Method of Python

 Floor Division Operator

To find integral part of quotient we use Floor Division Operator

//

• a // b

  Code

1

print(3 // 2)

PYTHON

Output

1

Compound Assignment Operators

Different compound assignment operators are

+=

,

-=

,

*=

,

/=

,

%=

a += 1

is similar to

a = a + 1

Code

1

2

3

a = 10

a -= 2

print(a)

PYTHON

Output

8

Escape Characters

Single And Double Quotes

String is a sequence of characters enclosed within quotes.

Code

1

2

3

4

sport = 'Cricket'

print(type(sport))

sport = "Cricket"

print(type(sport))

PYTHON

Output

<class 'str'>

<class 'str'>

Code

1

2

is_same = ('Cricket' == "Cricket")

print(is_same)

PYTHON

Output

True

Escape Characters

Escape Characters are a sequence of characters in a string that are interpreted differently by the computer. We use escape characters to insert characters that are illegal in a string.

Code

1

print("Hello\nWorld")

PYTHON

Output

Hello

World

We got a new line by adding

\n

escape character.

Examples - Escape Characters

Escape Characters start with a backslash in Python

• \n
   -> New Line
• \t
   -> Tab Space
• \\
   -> Backslash
• \'
   -> Single Quote
• \"
   -> Double Quote

Passing Strings With Quotes

The backslash

\

character here tells Python not to consider the next character as the ending of the string.

Code

1

print('It\'s Python')

PYTHON

Output

It's Python

Code

1

print("It's Python")

PYTHON

Output

It's Python
