"Mismatched quotes will cause a SyntaxError'
|
"SyntaxError means there is something wrong with the way your program is written — punctuation that does not belong, a command where it is not expected, or a missing parenthesis can all trigger a SyntaxError.

"SyntaxError: EOL while scanning a string literal"
|
A NameError occurs when the Python interpreter sees a word it does not recognize. Code that contains something that looks like a variable but was never defined will throw a NameError."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
No quotes will cause a NameError (interprets strings as commands. )

To make sure math like `7/2` = `3.5` is correct is by inputting it into Python like `7./2.` or `float(7)/2`
|
In Python 2, you need to make sure math like `7/2` = `3.5` is correct is by inputting it into Python like `7./2.` or `float(7)/2`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Limitations of floats
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Floats are limited by the number of digits. For example `1/3 = 0.3`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
>>> format(math.pi, '.12g') # give 12 significant digits
|
||||||
|
'3.14159265359'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
>>> format(math.pi, '.2f') # give 2 digits after the point
|
||||||
|
'3.14'
|
||||||

# Escaping Characters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Simply add a `\` to escape a character that would otherwise cause issues.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Arrays / Indexes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`cows = "cows"[0]`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This sets the variable `cows` to the 0th letter of the string `"cows"` which is `c`. These indexes start at 0, not 1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Strings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## String Methods
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`len(var)` Get length of string.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`var.lower()` Force lowercase
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`var.upper()` Force uppercase
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`str(var)` Force treating variable as a string.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If it uses dot notation like `.lower()`, it works exclusively on strings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Concatenation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`"Ten times a cow is equal to " + result + " with 10 times as many breeding opportunities."`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## String Formatting with %
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`"%s %s - 2020" % (month, day) # Replace %s with a variable. First the month, then the day.`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`Add %03d to specify a signed integer padded 2 places with zeros. For example, 2 becomes 02.`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is super useful for displaying dates like this: `print("%02d-%02d-%02d") % (now.month, now.day, now.year)` or time like this: `print '%02d:%02d:%04d' % (now.hour, now.minute, now.second)` (Ch3, Ex. 4)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Date and Time (Ch3)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Grab the current time:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
from datetime import datetime
|
||||||
|
now = datetime.now()
|
||||||
|
year = now.year
|
||||||
|
month = now.month
|
||||||
|
day = now.day
|
||||||
|
```
