Introduction to Python -- Python objects -- Conditional statements -- Looping -- Functions -- Iterations, generators, and comprehensions -- File handling -- Strings -- Introduction to object oriented paradigm -- Classes and objects -- Inheritance -- Operator overloading -- Exception handling -- Introduction to data structures -- Stacks and queues -- Linked lists -- Binary search trees -- Introduction to NUMPY -- Introduction to MATPLOTLIB -- Introduction to image processing. Python for Beginners is a textbook designed for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Applications. It would help the students to understand the fundamentals and applications of Python. This book would also serve as a useful reference for researchers and practising programmers. It covers both basic and intermediate levels. This book has been divided into four sections. The first section deals with the language fundamentals, primarily the procedural part of the language, the second introduces the Object Oriented Paradigms, the third section deals with data structures and the last is devoted to advanced topics like handling multi-dimensional arrays using NumPy and visualization using Matplotlib. Topics like Regular Expressions and Multi-threading have not been covered in detail, however their introduction has been included in the Appendix. Key Features: The book has section dedicated to data structures to help the students to understand the fundamentals. Offers in-depth treatment of topics such as Classes, Inheritance, BST and NumPy. The book introduces topics like MatPlotLib and PIL. Contains problems for practice and the review of essential programming concepts Provides points to remember and a glossary with definitions of the key terms at the end of each chapter. Questions, given at the end of each chapter and in the appendix would help students in interviews and examinations.
