Basic Python Codes

1. Swapping Two Variables

This logic demonstrates how to exchange values between two variables using a "temporary"
container to hold data during the transfer.

# Original values

a=5

b = 10

# Swap values using a temporary variable to make logic clear

temp = a # save value of a

a=b # assign b to a

b = temp # assign saved value to b

print("a =", a, "b =", b)

2. Check Even or Odd

This uses the modulo operator (%) to check for a remainder.

num = 7

# A number is even if it is divisible by 2 with zero remainder

if num % 2 == 0:

print(num, "is Even")

else:

print(num, "is Odd")

3. Find Maximum of Three Numbers (Logic)

Instead of using a built-in function, this logic assumes the first number is the largest and updates that
assumption if a larger number is found.

a, b, c = 10, 5, 8

# Assume a is the largest

largest = a

# Compare with b

if b > largest:

largest = b

# Compare with c
if c > largest:

largest = c

print("Largest =", largest)

4. Reverse a String (Step by Step)

This logic iterates backwards through the string indices to build a new string.

s = "hello"

reversed_string = ""

# Loop from last character to first

# range(start, stop, step) -> start at length-1, go to -1 (exclusive), step -1

for i in range(len(s)-1, -1, -1):

reversed_string += s[i]

print("Reversed:", reversed_string)

5. Count Vowels in a String

This example demonstrates traversing a string and checking membership against a defined set of
characters.

text = "python"

vowels = "aeiou"

count = 0

# Check each character to see if it is a vowel

for ch in text:

if ch in vowels:

count += 1

print("Number of vowels:", count)

6. Create a List From 1 to 10

This shows how to dynamically add elements to an empty list using a loop.

numbers = []
# Add numbers one by one

for i in range(1, 11):

[Link](i)

print(numbers)

7. Sum of Elements in a List (Manual Logic)

This represents the "accumulator" pattern, where a total variable is updated by every item in a list.

nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

total = 0

# Add each element to total

for n in nums:

total += n

print("Sum:", total)

8. Factorial of a Number

Similar to the sum logic, but using multiplication to calculate $n!$.

n=5

fact = 1

# Multiply numbers from 1 to n

for i in range(1, n + 1):

fact *= i

print("Factorial:", fact)

9. Check if a Number is Prime (Logic)

This checks if a number is divisible by anything other than 1 and itself. We only need to check up to
the square root of the number ($\sqrt{n}$) for efficiency.

n = 13

is_prime = True # assume number is prime


# Prime number must be >= 2

if n < 2:

is_prime = False

else:

# Try dividing n by numbers from 2 to sqrt(n)

for i in range(2, int(n**0.5) + 1):

if n % i == 0: # divisible -> not prime

is_prime = False

break

if is_prime:

print(n, "is Prime")

else:

print(n, "is NOT Prime")

10. Find Largest Number in a List

This iterates through a list to find the maximum value manually.

nums = [3, 8, 2, 10, 6]

# Start by assuming first number is largest

largest = nums[0]

# Check each number

for n in nums:

if n > largest:

largest = n

print("Largest number:", largest)
