LEVEL 1: FOUNDATIONAL
PYTHON (BASIC)

1. Introduction to Python
What is Python?

Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language created

by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. It emphasizes code readability with
its notable use of significant whitespace.

Why Learn Python?

1. **Easy to Learn**: Simple, clean syntax that resembles natural language

2. **Versatile**: Used in web development, data science, AI/ML, automation, and

more

3. **Large Community**: Extensive libraries and frameworks

4. **High Demand**: One of the most sought-after skills in the job market

5. **Cross-Platform**: Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more

Python Applications

- **Web Development**: Django, Flask, FastAPI

- **Data Science**: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib

- **Machine Learning**: TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn

- **Automation**: Selenium, Ansible

- **Scientific Computing**: SciPy, SymPy

- **Game Development**: Pygame

- **Desktop Applications**: Tkinter, PyQt

Python Versions

- **Python 2.x**: Legacy version (officially discontinued as of January 1, 2020)

- **Python 3.x**: Current version (we'll be using Python 3.8+)

**Important**: This course uses Python 3.8+ syntax and features.

2. Installation & Environment Setup

Installing Python

Windows
1. Visit [[Link]]([Link]

2. Download the latest Python 3.x installer

3. Run the installer

4. **IMPORTANT**: Check "Add Python to PATH"

5. Click "Install Now"

macOS
 # Using Homebrew (recommended)
brew install python3

# Or download from [Link]

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

sudo apt update

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

Verifying Installation

python --version
# or
python3 --version

Expected output: `Python 3.x.x`

Setting Up Your Development Environment

Option 1: VS Code (Recommended for Beginners)

1. Download from [[Link]]([Link]

2. Install the Python extension

3. Configure Python interpreter

Option 2: PyCharm
- Full-featured IDE specifically for Python

- Community Edition is free

Option 3: Jupyter Notebook

- Great for data science and learning

pip install jupyter

jupyter notebook

Your First Python Program

Create a file named `[Link]`:

print("Hello, World!")

Run it:

python [Link]

**Congratulations!** You've just run your first Python program.

 3. Python Syntax Fundamentals

Indentation

Python uses indentation to define code blocks. This is **mandatory**, not just for
readability.

# Correct
if True:
print("This is indented")
print("This is also indented")

# Wrong - will cause IndentationError

if True:
print("This will fail")

**Standard**: Use 4 spaces per indentation level (not tabs).

Comments
 # This is a single-line comment

"""
This is a multi-line comment
or a docstring when used to document functions/classes
"""

'''
You can also use single quotes
for multi-line comments
'''

Line Continuation

# Using backslash
total = 1 + 2 + 3 + \
4 + 5 + 6

# Implicit continuation (preferred)

total = (1 + 2 + 3 +
4 + 5 + 6)

# For lists, dicts, etc.

my_list = [
1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6
]

Multiple Statements on One Line

 # Separated by semicolons (discouraged)
x = 1; y = 2; z = 3

# Better approach (separate lines)

x = 1
y = 2
z = 3

The `pass` Statement

# Placeholder for future code

def my_function():
pass # TODO: implement this later

# Empty class
class MyClass:
pass

4. Variables and Data Types

Variables
Variables are containers for storing data values. Python has no command for
declaring a variable; it's created when you assign a value.

# Variable assignment
x = 5
name = "Alice"
is_active = True

# Multiple assignment
a, b, c = 1, 2, 3

# Same value to multiple variables

x = y = z = 0

Variable Naming Rules

1. Must start with a letter or underscore (_)

2. Cannot start with a number

3. Can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, _)

4. Case-sensitive (`age`, `Age`, and `AGE` are different)

5. Cannot be Python keywords

 # Valid names
my_var = 1
_private = 2
myVar = 3
MY_VAR = 4
var1 = 5

# Invalid names
# 2var = 1 # starts with number
# my-var = 2 # contains hyphen
# my var = 3 # contains space
# class = 4 # Python keyword

Naming Conventions (PEP 8)

# Variables and functions: snake_case

user_name = "Alice"
def calculate_total():
pass

# Constants: UPPER_CASE
MAX_SIZE = 100
PI = 3.14159

# Classes: PascalCase
class UserProfile:
pass

Basic Data Types

1. Numeric Types
 # Integer
age = 25
population = 7_800_000_000 # Underscores for readability (Python 3.6+

# Float
price = 19.99
temperature = -5.5
scientific = 3.14e2 # 314.0

# Complex
z = 3 + 4j

 

2. String

# Single or double quotes

name = 'Alice'
message = "Hello, World!"

# Triple quotes for multi-line

paragraph = """
This is a
multi-line
string
"""

# String concatenation
full_name = "John" + " " + "Doe"

# String repetition
laugh = "Ha" * 3 # "HaHaHa"

3. Boolean
 is_student = True
is_employed = False

# Boolean results from comparisons

result = (5 > 3) # True

4. NoneType

# Represents absence of value

x = None

# Often used as default or placeholder

def my_function(param=None):
if param is None:
param = "default value"

Type Checking and Conversion

 # Check type
x = 5
print(type(x)) #

# Type conversion
x = 5
y = float(x) # 5.0
z = str(x) # "5"

# String to number
s = "123"
num = int(s) # 123

# Be careful with conversion

# int("hello") # ValueError

Dynamic Typing

# Variables can change type

x = 5 # x is int
x = "Hello" # now x is str
x = [1, 2, 3] # now x is list

5. Operators
Arithmetic Operators

a = 10
b = 3

# Addition
result = a + b # 13

# Subtraction
result = a - b # 7

# Multiplication
result = a * b # 30

# Division (always returns float)

result = a / b # 3.3333...

# Floor Division (returns integer)

result = a // b # 3

# Modulus (remainder)
result = a % b # 1

# Exponentiation
result = a ** b # 1000 (10^3)

Assignment Operators
 x = 5

# Compound assignment
x += 3 # x = x + 3 (now 8)
x -= 2 # x = x - 2 (now 6)
x *= 4 # x = x * 4 (now 24)
x /= 3 # x = x / 3 (now 8.0)
x //= 2 # x = x // 2 (now 4.0)
x %= 3 # x = x % 3 (now 1.0)
x **= 2 # x = x ** 2 (now 1.0)

Comparison Operators

a = 5
b = 3

# Equal to
result = (a == b) # False

# Not equal to
result = (a != b) # True

# Greater than
result = (a > b) # True

# Less than
result = (a < b) # False

# Greater than or equal to

result = (a >= b) # True

# Less than or equal to

result = (a <= b) # False
Logical Operators

# AND - all conditions must be True

result = (5 > 3 and 10 < 20) # True
result = (5 > 3 and 10 > 20) # False

# OR - at least one condition must be True

result = (5 > 3 or 10 > 20) # True
result = (5 < 3 or 10 > 20) # False

# NOT - negates the condition

result = not (5 > 3) # False
result = not (5 < 3) # True

# Combining operators
x = 10
result = (x > 5 and x < 15) # True (equivalent to 5 < x < 15)

Identity Operators

a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [1, 2, 3]
c = a

# is - checks if same object in memory

print(a is c) # True (same object)
print(a is b) # False (different objects, same value)

# is not
print(a is not b) # True

# Use '==' for value comparison

print(a == b) # True (same values)
Membership Operators

# in - checks if value exists in sequence

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print("apple" in fruits) # True
print("orange" in fruits) # False

# not in
print("orange" not in fruits) # True

# Works with strings too

text = "Hello, World!"
print("Hello" in text) # True

Bitwise Operators
 a = 10 # 1010 in binary
b = 4 # 0100 in binary

# AND
result = a & b # 0 (0000)

# OR
result = a | b # 14 (1110)

# XOR
result = a ^ b # 14 (1110)

# NOT
result = ~a # -11

# Left shift
result = a << 2 # 40 (101000)

# Right shift
result = a >> 2 # 2 (0010)

Operator Precedence (Highest to Lowest)

1. `**` (Exponentiation)

2. `~`, `+`, `-` (Unary)

3. `*`, `/`, `//`, `%`

4. `+`, `-`

5. `<<`, `>>`

6. `&`

7. `^`

8. `|`

9. `==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, `>=`, `<=`, `is`, `is not`, `in`, `not in`

10. `not`

11. `and`
12. `or`

# Use parentheses for clarity

result = 2 + 3 * 4 # 14 (multiplication first)
result = (2 + 3) * 4 # 20 (parentheses first)

6. Input and Output Operations

Output with `print()`

 # Basic printing
print("Hello, World!")

# Multiple arguments
print("Hello", "World") # Hello World (space added automatically)

# Custom separator
print("Hello", "World", sep=", ") # Hello, World

# Custom end character (default is newline)

print("Hello", end=" ")
print("World") # Hello World (on same line)

# No newline at end
print("Loading", end="...")

# Printing variables
name = "Alice"
age = 25
print("Name:", name, "Age:", age)

String Formatting

Method 1: Old Style (%)

name = "Alice"
age = 25
print("My name is %s and I'm %d years old" % (name, age))

Method 2: [Link]()
 name = "Alice"
age = 25
print("My name is {} and I'm {} years old".format(name, age))

# With positional arguments

print("My name is {0} and I'm {1} years old".format(name, age))

# With keyword arguments

print("My name is {n} and I'm {a} years old".format(n=name, a=age))

# Formatting numbers
pi = 3.14159
print("Pi is approximately {:.2f}".format(pi)) # Pi is approximately

 

Method 3: f-strings (Recommended - Python 3.6+)

name = "Alice"
age = 25
print(f"My name is {name} and I'm {age} years old")

# Expressions inside f-strings

print(f"Next year I'll be {age + 1}")

# Formatting
pi = 3.14159
print(f"Pi is approximately {pi:.2f}") # Pi is approximately 3.14

# Alignment and padding

print(f"{name:>10}") # Right-align in 10 characters
print(f"{name:<10}") # Left-align in 10 characters
print(f"{name:^10}") # Center in 10 characters
Input from User

# Basic input (returns string)

name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

# Converting input to other types

age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
price = float(input("Enter price: "))

# Multiple inputs on one line

values = input("Enter three numbers separated by spaces: ").split()
a, b, c = int(values[0]), int(values[1]), int(values[2])

# Or more concisely
a, b, c = map(int, input("Enter three numbers: ").split())

Input Validation Example

while True:
try:
age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
if age < 0:
print("Age cannot be negative. Try again.")
continue
break
except ValueError:
print("Invalid input. Please enter a number.")

print(f"Your age is {age}")

 7. Control Flow - Conditional
Statements

The `if` Statement

age = 18

if age >= 18:

print("You are an adult")

The `if-else` Statement

age = 16

if age >= 18:

print("You are an adult")
else:
print("You are a minor")

The `if-elif-else` Statement

 score = 75

if score >= 90:

grade = "A"
elif score >= 80:
grade = "B"
elif score >= 70:
grade = "C"
elif score >= 60:
grade = "D"
else:
grade = "F"

print(f"Your grade is {grade}")

Nested `if` Statements

age = 25
has_license = True

if age >= 18:

if has_license:
print("You can drive")
else:
print("You need a license to drive")
else:
print("You are too young to drive")

Conditional Expressions (Ternary Operator)

 # Syntax: value_if_true if condition else value_if_false

age = 20
status = "Adult" if age >= 18 else "Minor"
print(status) # Adult

# Can be used in assignments

max_value = a if a > b else b

# Or in returns
def get_status(age):
return "Adult" if age >= 18 else "Minor"

The `match` Statement (Python 3.10+)

 def http_status(status):
match status:
case 200:
return "OK"
case 404:
return "Not Found"
case 500:
return "Internal Server Error"
case _:
return "Unknown Status"

print(http_status(200)) # OK

# Pattern matching with multiple values

def describe_point(point):
match point:
case (0, 0):
return "Origin"
case (0, y):
return f"On Y-axis at y={y}"
case (x, 0):
return f"On X-axis at x={x}"
case (x, y):
return f"Point at ({x}, {y})"
case _:
return "Not a point"

print(describe_point((0, 0))) # Origin

print(describe_point((0, 5))) # On Y-axis at y=5
print(describe_point((3, 4))) # Point at (3, 4)

Boolean Context and Truthy/Falsy Values

 # Falsy values: False, None, 0, 0.0, "", [], {}, ()
# Everything else is truthy

# Empty string
if "":
print("This won't print")

# Non-empty string
if "hello":
print("This will print")

# Empty list
my_list = []
if not my_list:
print("List is empty")

# Using with variables

value = None
if value:
print("Has value")
else:
print("No value") # This prints

8. Control Flow - Loops

The `while` Loop

 # Basic while loop
count = 0
while count < 5:
print(count)
count += 1

# Infinite loop with break

while True:
user_input = input("Enter 'quit' to exit: ")
if user_input == 'quit':
break
print(f"You entered: {user_input}")

# While-else
count = 0
while count < 5:
print(count)
count += 1
else:
print("Loop completed normally") # Executes if loop wasn't broken

 

The `for` Loop

 # Iterating over a sequence
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)

# Iterating over a string

for char in "Hello":
print(char)

# Using range()
for i in range(5): # 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
print(i)

for i in range(2, 10): # 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

print(i)

for i in range(0, 10, 2): # 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (step of 2)

print(i)

# Reverse iteration
for i in range(10, 0, -1): # 10, 9, 8, ..., 1
print(i)

# For-else
for i in range(5):
print(i)
else:
print("Loop completed") # Executes if loop wasn't broken

`break` Statement
 # Exit loop prematurely
for i in range(10):
if i == 5:
break # Exit loop when i is 5
print(i)
# Output: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

# Searching with break

numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15]
for num in numbers:
if num % 2 == 0:
print(f"Found even number: {num}")
break
else:
print("No even number found")

`continue` Statement

# Skip current iteration

for i in range(10):
if i % 2 == 0:
continue # Skip even numbers
print(i)
# Output: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9

# Filtering with continue

for num in range(1, 11):
if num % 3 == 0:
continue # Skip multiples of 3
print(num)

Nested Loops
 # Multiplication table
for i in range(1, 6):
for j in range(1, 6):
print(f"{i} x {j} = {i*j}")
print() # Blank line after each row

# Pattern printing
for i in range(1, 6):
for j in range(i):
print("*", end="")
print()
# Output:
# *
# **
# ***
# ****
# *****

Loop Control Examples

# Find first prime number in range

for num in range(2, 50):
for i in range(2, num):
if num % i == 0:
break # Not prime
else:
print(f"First prime: {num}")
break # Exit outer loop

# Skip specific values

for i in range(1, 11):
if i == 5:
continue
if i == 8:
break
print(i)
# Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
`enumerate()` Function

# Get index and value together

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for index, fruit in enumerate(fruits):
print(f"{index}: {fruit}")

# Starting from different index

for index, fruit in enumerate(fruits, start=1):
print(f"{index}: {fruit}")

`zip()` Function

# Iterate over multiple sequences simultaneously

names = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]
ages = [25, 30, 35]
cities = ["New York", "London", "Tokyo"]

for name, age, city in zip(names, ages, cities):

print(f"{name} is {age} years old and lives in {city}")
 9. PEP 8 Coding Standards

PEP 8 is Python's style guide. Following it makes your code more readable and
maintainable.

Indentation

# Use 4 spaces per indentation level

def my_function():
if True:
print("Properly indented")

# Hanging indent
result = some_function(
argument1, argument2,
argument3, argument4
)

Line Length
 # Maximum line length: 79 characters (or 99 for less strict)
# Break long lines using implied continuation

# Good
long_string = (
"This is a very long string that "
"spans multiple lines for readability"
)

# Function calls
result = some_function(
parameter1="value1",
parameter2="value2",
parameter3="value3"
)

Blank Lines
 # Two blank lines before top-level functions and classes
def function1():
pass

def function2():
pass

class MyClass:
pass

class AnotherClass:
pass

# One blank line between methods

class MyClass:
def method1(self):
pass

def method2(self):
pass

Imports
 # Imports at the top of file
# Standard library first, then third-party, then local
import os
import sys

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

from myproject import mymodule

# Avoid wildcard imports

# from module import * # Bad practice

# Prefer explicit imports

from module import Class1, Class2, function1

Whitespace
 # Avoid extraneous whitespace

# Good
spam(ham[1], {eggs: 2})
foo = (0,)
x = y

# Bad
spam( ham[ 1 ], { eggs: 2 } )
foo = (0, )
x=y

# Around operators
# Good
i = i + 1
x = x * 2 - 1
c = (a + b) * (a - b)

# In keyword arguments
def function(arg=5):
pass

function(arg=10)

Naming Conventions
 # Variables and functions: lowercase with underscores
user_name = "Alice"
def calculate_total():
pass

# Constants: uppercase with underscores

MAX_SIZE = 100
DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 30

# Classes: PascalCase
class UserProfile:
pass

class HTTPResponse:
pass

# Protected: single leading underscore

_internal_value = 42

# Private: double leading underscore (name mangling)

__private_attr = "secret"

# Special methods: double underscore on both sides

__init__, __str__, __repr__

Comments and Docstrings

 # Inline comments: use sparingly
x = x + 1 # Increment x

# Block comments
# This is a block comment explaining
# a complex piece of logic that follows
# in the code below

def function(param):
"""
One-line docstring for simple functions.
"""
pass

def complex_function(arg1, arg2):

"""
Multi-line docstring for complex functions.

Args:
arg1 (int): Description of arg1
arg2 (str): Description of arg2

Returns:
bool: Description of return value

Raises:
ValueError: When arg1 is negative
"""
pass

String Quotes
 # Use double quotes for strings
message = "Hello, World!"

# Use single quotes to avoid escaping

text = 'He said "Hello"'

# Triple double-quotes for docstrings

def function():
"""This is a docstring."""
pass

LEVEL 1 WORKSHOP SOLUTIONS

Solution 1: Variable Swap

 # Method 1: Using tuple unpacking (Pythonic)
a = 5
b = 10
print(f"Before swap: a = {a}, b = {b}")

a, b = b, a

print(f"After swap: a = {a}, b = {b}")

# Method 2: Using arithmetic

a = 5
b = 10
a = a + b # a = 15
b = a - b # b = 5
a = a - b # a = 10

# Method 3: Using XOR (for integers only)

a = 5
b = 10
a = a ^ b
b = a ^ b
a = a ^ b

**Explanation**:

- Python's tuple unpacking (method 1) is the most elegant and Pythonic way

- The arithmetic method works but can cause overflow with large numbers

- XOR method is clever but only works with integers

Solution 2: Temperature Converter

 def celsius_to_fahrenheit(celsius):
"""Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit."""
return (celsius * 9/5) + 32

def fahrenheit_to_celsius(fahrenheit):
"""Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius."""
return (fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9

# Main program
print("Temperature Converter")
print("1. Celsius to Fahrenheit")
print("2. Fahrenheit to Celsius")

choice = input("Enter your choice (1 or 2): ")

if choice == '1':
celsius = float(input("Enter temperature in Celsius: "))
fahrenheit = celsius_to_fahrenheit(celsius)
print(f"{celsius}°C = {fahrenheit:.2f}°F")
elif choice == '2':
fahrenheit = float(input("Enter temperature in Fahrenheit: "))
celsius = fahrenheit_to_celsius(fahrenheit)
print(f"{fahrenheit}°F = {celsius:.2f}°C")
else:
print("Invalid choice!")

**Key Concepts**:

- Functions for reusability

- String formatting with f-strings

- Input validation

Solution 3: Even or Odd

 # Method 1: Using modulus operator
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))

if number % 2 == 0:
print(f"{number} is even")
else:
print(f"{number} is odd")

# Method 2: Using bitwise AND

if number & 1 == 0:
print(f"{number} is even")
else:
print(f"{number} is odd")

# Method 3: Using ternary operator

result = "even" if number % 2 == 0 else "odd"
print(f"{number} is {result}")

**Explanation**:

- Modulus operator (%) gives remainder of division

- Bitwise AND with 1 checks the least significant bit

- Ternary operator provides concise conditional assignment

Solution 4: Simple Calculator

 def add(a, b):
return a + b

def subtract(a, b):

return a - b

def multiply(a, b):

return a * b

def divide(a, b):

if b == 0:
return "Error: Division by zero!"
return a / b

# Main program
print("Simple Calculator")
print("Operations: +, -, *, /")

num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))

operator = input("Enter operator: ")
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))

if operator == '+':
result = add(num1, num2)
elif operator == '-':
result = subtract(num1, num2)
elif operator == '*':
result = multiply(num1, num2)
elif operator == '/':
result = divide(num1, num2)
else:
result = "Invalid operator!"

print(f"Result: {result}")

**Best Practices**:

- Separate functions for each operation

- Error handling for division by zero

- Clear user prompts

Solution 5: Leap Year Checker

def is_leap_year(year):

for y in test_years:
status = "is" if is_leap_year(y) else "is not"
print(f"{y} {status} a leap year")
**Logic Explanation**:

- Years divisible by 400 are always leap years (e.g., 2000)

- Years divisible by 100 (but not 400) are not leap years (e.g., 1900)

- Other years divisible by 4 are leap years (e.g., 2024)

11. Lists - Deep Dive

What are Lists?

Lists are ordered, mutable collections that can hold items of different types.

# Creating lists
empty_list = []
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
mixed = [1, "hello", 3.14, True, [1, 2, 3]]

# Using list() constructor

my_list = list("hello") # ['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
range_list = list(range(5)) # [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

Accessing Elements

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "date", "elderberry"]

# Indexing (zero-based)
first = fruits[0] # "apple"
second = fruits[1] # "banana"
last = fruits[-1] # "elderberry"
second_last = fruits[-2] # "date"

# Slicing [start:end:step]
print(fruits[1:3]) # ["banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits[:3]) # ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(fruits[2:]) # ["cherry", "date", "elderberry"]
print(fruits[::2]) # ["apple", "cherry", "elderberry"]
print(fruits[::-1]) # Reverse list

# Nested lists
matrix = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
print(matrix[0][1]) # 2 (first row, second column)
Modifying Lists

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

# Changing elements
numbers[0] = 10 # [10, 2, 3, 4, 5]
numbers[-1] = 50 # [10, 2, 3, 4, 50]

# Changing slices
numbers[1:3] = [20, 30] # [10, 20, 30, 4, 50]

# Deleting elements
del numbers[0] # [20, 30, 4, 50]
del numbers[1:3] # [20, 50]

List Methods
 fruits = ["apple", "banana"]

# Adding elements
[Link]("cherry") # Add to end
[Link](1, "avocado") # Insert at index
[Link](["date", "fig"]) # Add multiple items

# Removing elements
[Link]("banana") # Remove first occurrence
popped = [Link]() # Remove and return last item
popped = [Link](0) # Remove and return item at index
[Link]() # Remove all items

# Searching
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "banana"]
index = [Link]("banana") # 1 (first occurrence)
count = [Link]("banana") # 2

# Checking membership
if "apple" in fruits:
print("Found apple!")

# Sorting
numbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6]
[Link]() # Sort in place (ascending)
[Link](reverse=True) # Sort descending
sorted_nums = sorted(numbers) # Return new sorted list (original un

# Reversing
[Link]() # Reverse in place

List Operations

# Concatenation

combined = list1 + list2 # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

# Repetition
repeated = [1, 2] * 3 # [1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2]

# Length
length = len(combined) # 6

# Min, Max, Sum (for numeric lists)

List Comprehensions (Preview)

# Create list of squares

squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)]

# Filter even numbers

upper_words = [[Link]() for word in words]
Common Patterns

# Finding maximum with index

numbers = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6]
max_value = max(numbers)
max_index = [Link](max_value)

# Removing duplicates (loses order)

unique = list(set(numbers))

# Removing duplicates (preserves order)

seen = []
for num in numbers:
if num not in seen:

# Flattening nested list

nested = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
flat = [item for sublist in nested for item in sublist]

# Splitting list into chunks

 12. Tuples

What are Tuples?

Tuples are ordered, **immutable** collections. Once created, they cannot be

modified.

# Creating tuples
empty_tuple = ()
single_item = (1,) # Note the comma!
numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
mixed = (1, "hello", 3.14, True)

# Without parentheses (tuple packing)

coordinates = 10, 20, 30

# Using tuple() constructor

my_tuple = tuple([1, 2, 3])
char_tuple = tuple("hello")

Why Use Tuples?

1. **Immutability**: Data safety - can't be accidentally modified

2. **Performance**: Slightly faster than lists

3. **Dictionary Keys**: Can be used as dict keys (lists cannot)

4. **Unpacking**: Natural for returning multiple values from functions

Accessing Tuple Elements

point = (10, 20, 30)

# Indexing
x = point[0] # 10
y = point[1] # 20
z = point[-1] # 30

# Slicing
print(point[1:]) # (20, 30)

# Unpacking
x, y, z = point
print(f"x={x}, y={y}, z={z}")

# Extended unpacking (Python 3)

numbers = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
first, *middle, last = numbers
print(first) # 1
print(middle) # [2, 3, 4]
print(last) # 5

Tuple Methods
 numbers = (1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5)

# count() - count occurrences

count_2 = [Link](2) # 3

# index() - find first occurrence

index_3 = [Link](3) # 2

# Length
length = len(numbers) # 7

# Membership
if 3 in numbers:
print("Found 3!")

Tuple Operations

# Concatenation
tuple1 = (1, 2, 3)
tuple2 = (4, 5, 6)
combined = tuple1 + tuple2 # (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

# Repetition
repeated = (1, 2) * 3 # (1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2)

# Min, Max, Sum

numbers = (1, 5, 3, 9, 2)
print(min(numbers)) # 1
print(max(numbers)) # 9
print(sum(numbers)) # 20

Mutable Items in Tuples

 # Tuples are immutable, but can contain mutable objects
tuple_with_list = (1, 2, [3, 4, 5])

# Can't reassign tuple elements

# tuple_with_list[0] = 10 # TypeError

# But can modify mutable elements

tuple_with_list[2].append(6) # Works!
print(tuple_with_list) # (1, 2, [3, 4, 5, 6])

Named Tuples

from collections import namedtuple

# Define a named tuple type

Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y', 'z'])

# Create instances
p1 = Point(10, 20, 30)
p2 = Point(x=5, y=15, z=25)

# Access by name or index

print(p1.x) # 10
print(p1[0]) # 10

# Still immutable
# p1.x = 15 # AttributeError

# Convert to dict
point_dict = p1._asdict()
print(point_dict) # {'x': 10, 'y': 20, 'z': 30}
 13. Dictionaries

What are Dictionaries?

Dictionaries are unordered (until Python 3.7+, now insertion-ordered) collections of

key-value pairs.

# Creating dictionaries
empty_dict = {}
person = {
"name": "Alice",
"age": 25,
"city": "New York"
}

# Using dict() constructor

person2 = dict(name="Bob", age=30, city="London")

# From list of tuples

pairs = [("a", 1), ("b", 2), ("c", 3)]
my_dict = dict(pairs)

Accessing Dictionary Elements

 person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25, "city": "New York"}

# Using square brackets

name = person["name"] # "Alice"
# age = person["height"] # KeyError!

# Using get() - safer

age = [Link]("age") # 25
height = [Link]("height") # None
height = [Link]("height", 170) # 170 (default value)

# Checking if key exists

if "name" in person:
print(f"Name: {person['name']}")

# Get all keys, values, items

keys = [Link]() # dict_keys(['name', 'age', 'city'])
values = [Link]() # dict_values(['Alice', 25, 'New York'])
items = [Link]() # dict_items([('name', 'Alice'), ('age', 25)

 

Modifying Dictionaries
 person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}

# Adding/updating entries
person["city"] = "New York" # Add new key
person["age"] = 26 # Update existing key

# Update multiple entries

[Link]({"country": "USA", "age": 27})

# Alternative update syntax

[Link](occupation="Engineer", salary=75000)

# Remove entries
removed_value = [Link]("salary") # Remove and return value
[Link]() # Remove and return last item (Python 3.7+)
del person["city"] # Remove specific key
[Link]() # Remove all items

Dictionary Methods

user = {"username": "alice", "email": "alice@[Link]", "age": 25}

# setdefault() - get value or set default if not exists

role = [Link]("role", "user") # Returns "user" and adds to d

# fromkeys() - create dict from keys with same value

keys = ["a", "b", "c"]
new_dict = [Link](keys, 0) # {'a': 0, 'b': 0, 'c': 0}

# copy() - shallow copy

user_copy = [Link]()

 
Iterating Over Dictionaries

person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25, "city": "New York"}

# Iterate over keys (default)

for key in person:
print(key, person[key])

# Explicit keys iteration

for key in [Link]():
print(key)

# Iterate over values

for value in [Link]():
print(value)

# Iterate over key-value pairs (most common)

Dictionary Comprehensions
 # Create dict from list

# Filter with condition

even_squares = {x: x**2 for x in numbers if x % 2 == 0}
# {2: 4, 4: 16}

# Transform existing dict

prices = {"apple": 0.50, "banana": 0.30, "cherry": 0.75}

# Swap keys and values

original = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3}
swapped = {value: key for key, value in [Link]()}
# {1: 'a', 2: 'b', 3: 'c'}

Nested Dictionaries

# Dictionary of dictionaries

# Iterating nested dict

for username, info in [Link]():
print(f"{username}:")
for key, value in [Link]():
print(f" {key}: {value}")
Default Dictionaries

from collections import defaultdict

# Regular dict - KeyError on missing key

# counts = {}
# counts["apple"] += 1 # KeyError!

# defaultdict - provides default value

counts = defaultdict(int) # Default value is 0
counts["apple"] += 1 # Works! counts["apple"] = 1

# With custom default

def default_value():

Counter (Specialized Dictionary)

 from collections import Counter

# Count elements
words = ["apple", "banana", "apple", "cherry", "banana", "apple"]
counter = Counter(words)
print(counter) # Counter({'apple': 3, 'banana': 2, 'cherry': 1})

# Most common elements

print(counter.most_common(2)) # [('apple', 3), ('banana', 2)]

# Counter operations
c1 = Counter(["a", "b", "c", "a"])
c2 = Counter(["a", "b", "b", "d"])

# Addition
print(c1 + c2) # Counter({'a': 3, 'b': 3, 'c': 1, 'd': 1})

# Subtraction
print(c1 - c2) # Counter({'a': 1, 'c': 1})

14. Sets

What are Sets?

Sets are unordered collections of **unique** elements. They're mutable and don't
allow duplicates.
 # Creating sets
empty_set = set() # Note: {} creates an empty dict!
numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
mixed = {1, "hello", 3.14, True}

# From list (removes duplicates)

my_list = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4]
unique_set = set(my_list) # {1, 2, 3, 4}

# From string
char_set = set("hello") # {'h', 'e', 'l', 'o'}

Set Operations

# Adding elements
fruits = {"apple", "banana"}
[Link]("cherry")
[Link](["date", "elderberry"]) # Add multiple

# Removing elements
[Link]("banana") # Raises KeyError if not found
[Link]("banana") # No error if not found
popped = [Link]() # Remove and return random element
[Link]() # Remove all elements

# Membership testing (very fast)

if "apple" in fruits:
print("Found apple!")

Mathematical Set Operations

 a = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
b = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

# Union - all elements from both sets

union = a | b
union = [Link](b)
# {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

# Intersection - common elements

intersection = a & b
intersection = [Link](b)
# {4, 5}

# Difference - elements in a but not in b

difference = a - b
difference = [Link](b)
# {1, 2, 3}

# Symmetric Difference - elements in either but not both

sym_diff = a ^ b
sym_diff = a.symmetric_difference(b)
# {1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8}

# Subset
small_set = {1, 2}
is_subset = small_set <= a
is_subset = small_set.issubset(a) # True

# Superset
is_superset = a >= small_set
is_superset = [Link](small_set) # True

# Disjoint - no common elements

are_disjoint = [Link]({10, 11, 12}) # True

Set Comprehensions
 # Create set of squares
squares = {x**2 for x in range(10)}

# Filter with condition

even_squares = {x**2 for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0}

# From string - unique characters

text = "hello world"
unique_chars = {char for char in text if char != ' '}

Frozen Sets (Immutable Sets)

# Create frozen set

frozen = frozenset([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

# Can't modify
# [Link](6) # AttributeError

# Can be used as dict keys or in other sets

my_dict = {frozen: "value"}
set_of_sets = {frozenset([1, 2]), frozenset([3, 4])}

Practical Use Cases

 # Remove duplicates from list (preserving no order)
my_list = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
unique_list = list(set(my_list))

# Find common elements in lists

list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
list2 = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
common = list(set(list1) & set(list2)) # [4, 5]

# Fast membership testing

# For large collections, sets are much faster than lists
large_set = set(range(1000000))
print(999999 in large_set) # Very fast!

# Find unique words in text

text = "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
unique_words = set([Link]())
print(f"Unique words: {len(unique_words)}")

15. String Manipulation

String Basics
 # Creating strings
single = 'Hello'
double = "World"
triple = """Multiple
lines"""

# Raw strings (ignore escape sequences)

path = r"C:\Users\name\Documents"

# F-strings (Python 3.6+)

name = "Alice"
age = 25
message = f"My name is {name} and I'm {age} years old"

String Indexing and Slicing

text = "Python Programming"

# Indexing
first = text[0] # 'P'
last = text[-1] # 'g'

# Slicing
print(text[0:6]) # 'Python'
print(text[7:]) # 'Programming'
print(text[:6]) # 'Python'
print(text[::2]) # 'Pto rgamn' (every 2nd char)
print(text[::-1]) # 'gnimmargorP nohtyP' (reverse)

String Methods - Case Conversion

 text = "Hello World"

# Case conversion
print([Link]()) # 'HELLO WORLD'
print([Link]()) # 'hello world'
print([Link]()) # 'Hello world'
print([Link]()) # 'Hello World'
print([Link]()) # 'hELLO wORLD'

# Checking case
print("HELLO".isupper()) # True
print("hello".islower()) # True
print("Hello World".istitle()) # True

String Methods - Searching

text = "Python is awesome. Python is powerful."

# Finding substrings
index = [Link]("Python") # 0 (first occurrence)
index = [Link]("Python", 10) # 19 (search from index 10)
index = [Link]("Java") # -1 (not found)

# index() - like find() but raises ValueError if not found

index = [Link]("Python")

# Count occurrences
count = [Link]("Python") # 2

# Checking start/end
print([Link]("Python")) # True
print([Link]("ful.")) # True
String Methods - Modification

text = " Hello, World! "

# Trimming whitespace
print([Link]()) # "Hello, World!"
print([Link]()) # "Hello, World! "
print([Link]()) # " Hello, World!"

# Replacing
new_text = [Link]("World", "Python") #" Hello, Python! "
new_text = [Link]("l", "L", 2) # Replace first 2 occurrences

# Splitting
words = "apple,banana,cherry".split(",") # ['apple', 'banana', 'cherr
lines = "Line1\nLine2\nLine3".splitlines()

# Joining
words = ["Python", "is", "awesome"]
sentence = " ".join(words) # "Python is awesome"
csv = ",".join(words) # "Python,is,awesome"

 

String Formatting
 # Old style (%)
name = "Alice"
age = 25
print("Name: %s, Age: %d" % (name, age))

# [Link]()
print("Name: {}, Age: {}".format(name, age))
print("Name: {n}, Age: {a}".format(n=name, a=age))
print("Name: {0}, Age: {1}".format(name, age))

# F-strings (Python 3.6+) - Recommended

print(f"Name: {name}, Age: {age}")
print(f"Next year: {age + 1}")
print(f"Price: ${19.99:.2f}") # Price: $19.99

# Alignment
print(f"{'left':<10}|") # 'left |'
print(f"{'right':>10}|") # ' right|'
print(f"{'center':^10}|") # ' center |'

# Number formatting
num = 1234567.89
print(f"{num:,.2f}") # '1,234,567.89'
print(f"{num:e}") # '1.234568e+06'
print(f"{42:05d}") # '00042'

String Validation
 # Checking string type
print("123".isdigit()) # True
print("abc123".isalnum()) # True (alphanumeric)
print("abc".isalpha()) # True (alphabetic)
print(" ".isspace()) # True (whitespace)
print("Hello World".isascii()) # True (Python 3.7+)

# Identifier check
print("variable_name".isidentifier()) # True
print("2variable".isidentifier()) # False

String Encoding/Decoding

# Encode to bytes
text = "Hello, 世界"
encoded = [Link]("utf-8")
print(encoded) # b'Hello, \xe4\xb8\x96\xe7\x95\x8c'

# Decode from bytes

decoded = [Link]("utf-8")
print(decoded) # "Hello, 世界"

Regular Expressions (Preview)

 import re

text = "The price is $19.99"

# Find pattern
match = [Link](r"\$\d+\.\d+", text)
if match:
print([Link]()) # $19.99

# Replace pattern
new_text = [Link](r"\d+", "XX", text) # "The price is $[Link]"

# Split by pattern
parts = [Link](r"\s+", "Hello World") # ['Hello', 'World']

16. Comprehensions

List Comprehensions
 # Basic syntax: [expression for item in iterable]

# Traditional way
squares = []
for x in range(10):
[Link](x**2)

# List comprehension way

squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)]

# With condition
evens = [x for x in range(20) if x % 2 == 0]

# With if-else
parity = ["even" if x % 2 == 0 else "odd" for x in range(10)]

# Nested loops
pairs = [(x, y) for x in range(3) for y in range(3)]
# [(0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (1,0), (1,1), (1,2), (2,0), (2,1), (2,2)]

# Flattening nested lists

nested = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6, 7, 8, 9]]
flat = [num for sublist in nested for num in sublist]
# [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

# String operations
words = ["hello", "world", "python"]
upper = [[Link]() for word in words]

Dictionary Comprehensions
 # Basic syntax: {key_expr: value_expr for item in iterable}

# Create dict from lists

keys = ["a", "b", "c"]
values = [1, 2, 3]
my_dict = {k: v for k, v in zip(keys, values)}

# Square numbers
squares = {x: x**2 for x in range(1, 6)}
# {1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 5: 25}

# Filter with condition

even_squares = {x: x**2 for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0}

# Transform existing dict

prices = {"apple": 1.0, "banana": 0.5, "cherry": 2.0}

# Unique characters in string

text = "hello world"
unique_chars = {char for char in text if char != ' '}

# Filter with condition

even_nums = {x for x in range(20) if x % 2 == 0}

Generator Expressions

# Like list comprehensions but with () instead of []

# More memory efficient - generates values on-the-fly

# List comprehension (creates entire list in memory)

squares_list = [x**2 for x in range(1000000)]

# Generator expression (generates values as needed)

squares_gen = (x**2 for x in range(1000000))

# Using generator
for square in squares_gen:
print(square)
if square > 100:
break

# Generator in function calls

sum_of_squares = sum(x**2 for x in range(100))
max_square = max(x**2 for x in range(100))
Nested Comprehensions

# 2D matrix
matrix = [[j for j in range(5)] for i in range(3)]
# [[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],

 LEVEL 3: OBJECT-ORIENTED &
ADVANCED PYTHON

This level introduces Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and advanced Python

concepts. You'll learn to design robust, maintainable applications using classes,
inheritance, generators, and exception handling.

21. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

What is OOP?
Object-Oriented Programming is a programming paradigm that organizes code
around "objects" - data structures that contain both data (attributes) and code
(methods).

Four Pillars of OOP:

Encapsulation:
Bundling data and methods together

Abstraction:
Hiding complex implementation details

Inheritance:
Creating new classes from existing ones

Polymorphism:
Using a single interface for different types
22. Classes and Objects

Creating a Class

Example: Basic Class

class Dog:
"""A simple Dog class."""

def __init__(self, name, age):

"""Initialize dog attributes."""
[Link] = name # Instance variable
[Link] = age

def bark(self):
"""Make the dog bark."""
return f"{[Link]} says Woof!"

def get_info(self):
"""Return dog information."""
return f"{[Link]} is {[Link]} years old"

# Create objects (instances)

dog1 = Dog("Buddy", 3)
dog2 = Dog("Max", 5)

print([Link]()) # Buddy says Woof!

print(dog2.get_info()) # Max is 5 years old

Class vs Instance Variables

 Example: Class and Instance Variables

class Dog:
# Class variable (shared by all instances)
species = "Canis familiaris"
total_dogs = 0

def __init__(self, name, age):

# Instance variables (unique to each instance)
[Link] = name
[Link] = age
Dog.total_dogs += 1

@classmethod
def get_total_dogs(cls):
"""Class method to access class variable."""
return cls.total_dogs

@staticmethod
def is_adult(age):
"""Static method - doesn't access instance or class."""
return age >= 2

# Usage
dog1 = Dog("Buddy", 3)
dog2 = Dog("Max", 1)

print([Link]) # Canis familiaris

print(Dog.get_total_dogs()) # 2
print(Dog.is_adult([Link])) # True
print(Dog.is_adult([Link])) # False

 

23. Inheritance and Polymorphism

Single Inheritance
 Example: Inheritance

class Animal:
"""Base class."""

def __init__(self, name):

[Link] = name

def speak(self):
pass # To be overridden

class Dog(Animal):
"""Derived class."""

def speak(self):
return f"{[Link]} says Woof!"

class Cat(Animal):
"""Another derived class."""

def speak(self):
return f"{[Link]} says Meow!"

# Polymorphism in action
animals = [Dog("Buddy"), Cat("Whiskers"), Dog("Max")]

for animal in animals:

print([Link]())
# Output:
# Buddy says Woof!
# Whiskers says Meow!
# Max says Woof!

Using super()
Example: super() Function

class Vehicle:
def __init__(self, brand, model):
[Link] = brand
[Link] = model

def info(self):
return f"{[Link]} {[Link]}"

class Car(Vehicle):
def __init__(self, brand, model, doors):
super().__init__(brand, model) # Call parent __init__
[Link] = doors

def info(self):
return f"{super().info()} with {[Link]} doors"

car = Car("Toyota", "Camry", 4)

print([Link]()) # Toyota Camry with 4 doors

 
24. Magic Methods (Dunder Methods)

Example: Common Magic Methods

class Book:
def __init__(self, title, author, pages):
[Link] = title
[Link] = author
[Link] = pages

def __str__(self):
"""String representation for users."""
return f"{[Link]} by {[Link]}"

def __repr__(self):
"""String representation for developers."""
return f"Book('{[Link]}', '{[Link]}', {[Link]

def __len__(self):
"""Return length (pages)."""
return [Link]

def __eq__(self, other):

"""Check equality."""
return [Link] == [Link] and [Link] == othe

book1 = Book("Python Crash Course", "Eric Matthes", 544)

book2 = Book("Python Crash Course", "Eric Matthes", 544)

print(str(book1)) # Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes

print(len(book1)) # 544
print(book1 == book2) # True

 

25. Generators

What are Generators?

Generators are functions that can pause and resume, yielding values one at a time
instead of returning all at once. They're memory-efficient for large datasets.

Example: Generator Function

# Regular function - returns all at once

def get_squares_list(n):
result = []
for i in range(n):
[Link](i ** 2)
return result

# Generator - yields one at a time

def get_squares_generator(n):
for i in range(n):
yield i ** 2

# Usage
squares_list = get_squares_list(5)
print(list(squares_list)) # [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

squares_gen = get_squares_generator(5)
for square in squares_gen:
print(square) # Prints one at a time

# Generator expression
squares_gen_expr = (x ** 2 for x in range(5))
print(list(squares_gen_expr)) # [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

When to use Generators:

Processing large files that don't fit in memory

Infinite sequences

Pipeline processing

When you need values one at a time

26. Exception Handling

Try-Except Blocks

Example: Exception Handling

# Basic try-except
try:
result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero!")

# Multiple except blocks

try:
number = int(input("Enter a number: "))
result = 100 / number
except ValueError:
print("Invalid input! Please enter a number.")
except ZeroDivisionError:
print("Cannot divide by zero!")
except Exception as e:
print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

# Try-except-else-finally
try:
file = open("[Link]", "r")
data = [Link]()
except FileNotFoundError:
print("File not found!")
else:
print("File read successfully!")
print(data)
finally:
print("Execution completed.")
# [Link]() if file exists

Raising Exceptions
Example: Raising Exceptions

def divide(a, b):

if b == 0:
raise ValueError("Divisor cannot be zero!")
return a / b

try:
result = divide(10, 0)
except ValueError as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")

# Custom exceptions
class InsufficientFundsError(Exception):
"""Custom exception for bank account."""
pass

class BankAccount:
def __init__(self, balance):
[Link] = balance

def withdraw(self, amount):

if amount > [Link]:
raise InsufficientFundsError(
f"Insufficient funds. Balance: {[Link]}"
)
[Link] -= amount
return [Link]

account = BankAccount(100)
try:
[Link](150)
except InsufficientFundsError as e:
print(e) # Insufficient funds. Balance: 100

27. Level 3 Workshop Questions

Question 1: Create a Library System

Medium

Create a library management system with Book and Library classes.

Requirements:

Book class: title, author, ISBN, available status

Library class: add books, borrow books, return books, list available books

Use proper OOP principles

Solution:
class Book:
def __init__(self, title, author, isbn):
[Link] = title
[Link] = author
[Link] = isbn
self.is_available = True

def __str__(self):
status = "Available" if self.is_available else "Borrowed"
return f"{[Link]} by {[Link]} ({status})"

class Library:
def __init__(self, name):
[Link] = name
[Link] = []

def add_book(self, book):

[Link](book)
print(f"Added: {[Link]}")

def borrow_book(self, isbn):

for book in [Link]:
if [Link] == isbn:
if book.is_available:
book.is_available = False
print(f"Borrowed: {[Link]}")
return True
else:
print(f"{[Link]} is already borrowed")
return False
print("Book not found")
return False

def return_book(self, isbn):

for book in [Link]:
if [Link] == isbn:
book.is_available = True
print(f"Returned: {[Link]}")
return True
print("Book not found")
return False

def list_available_books(self):
available = [book for book in [Link] if book.is_availa
if available:
 print(f"\nAvailable books in {[Link]}:")
for book in available:
print(f" - {book}")
else:
print("No books available")

# Usage
library = Library("City Library")
library.add_book(Book("1984", "George Orwell", "001"))
library.add_book(Book("To Kill a Mockingbird", "Harper Lee", "002"
library.list_available_books()

library.list_available_books()
library.return_book("001")

Question 2: Bank Account with Inheritance

Hard

Create a banking system with SavingsAccount and CheckingAccount classes

inheriting from BankAccount.

Solution:
class BankAccount:
"""Base class for bank accounts."""

def __init__(self, account_number, holder_name, balance=0):

self.account_number = account_number
self.holder_name = holder_name
[Link] = balance
[Link] = []

def deposit(self, amount):

if amount > 0:
[Link] += amount
[Link](f"Deposited: ${amount}")
return True
return False

def withdraw(self, amount):

if amount > 0 and amount <= [Link]:
[Link] -= amount
[Link](f"Withdrew: ${amount}")
return True
return False

def get_balance(self):
return [Link]

def get_statement(self):
print(f"\nAccount Statement for {self.holder_name}")
print(f"Account Number: {self.account_number}")
print(f"Current Balance: ${[Link]}")
print("\nTransactions:")
for transaction in [Link]:
print(f" - {transaction}")

class SavingsAccount(BankAccount):
"""Savings account with interest."""

def __init__(self, account_number, holder_name, balance=0, int

super().__init__(account_number, holder_name, balance)
self.interest_rate = interest_rate

def add_interest(self):
interest = [Link] * self.interest_rate
[Link] += interest
[Link](f"Interest added: ${interest:.2f}
 return interest

class CheckingAccount(BankAccount):
"""Checking account with overdraft protection."""

def __init__(self, account_number, holder_name, balance=0, ove

super().__init__(account_number, holder_name, balance)
self.overdraft_limit = overdraft_limit

def withdraw(self, amount):

if amount > 0 and amount <= ([Link] + [Link]
[Link] -= amount
[Link](f"Withdrew: ${amount}")
if [Link] < 0:
[Link]("Overdraft used")
return True
return False

# Usage
savings = SavingsAccount("SAV001", "Alice", 1000)
checking = CheckingAccount("CHK001", "Bob", 500, 200)

[Link](500)
savings.add_interest()
savings.get_statement()
