In this post, we will learn how to find the smallest number. The first program uses the if statement to achieve that. The second program, the recommended way, uses the built-in min function and a list. Code using the if…

Use the expandtabs() method to set the number of spaces for a tab. You can set any number of spaces, but when no argument is given, the default is 8. Basic Usage my_string = 'B\tR' print(my_string.expandtabs()) #output: B R Notice…

Let’s see how two perform a very common and simple task when learning a programming language: adding two numbers. In python the code for adding two numbers is very straightfoward. Adding numbers directly first_number = 32 second_number = 8 total…

Use the istitle() method to check if the first character in every word in a string is upper case and the other characters are lower case. text = 'This is a regular text' print(text.istitle()) #output: False text = 'This Is…

There are two scopes: local and global. Global Scope A global scope allows you to use the variable anywhere in your program. If your variable is outside a function, it has a global scope by default. name = "Bob" def…

Use the isalpha() method to check if a string only contains letters. word = 'beach' print(word.isalpha()) #output: True word = '32' print(word.isalpha()) #output: False word = 'number32' print(word.isalpha()) #output: False word = 'Favorite number is blue' #notice the space between…

The rules to check a leap year are: The year has to be divisible by four, that is, the remainder of the division is 0. The year cannot be divisible by 100, that is, the remainder of the division is…

A prime number is an integer greater than one that is only divisible by one and itself. def check_prime(number): if number <= 1: return False for divisor in range(2, int(number**0.5)+1): if (number % divisor) == 0: print(divisor,'*', number//divisor, '=', number)…

In this post, I’m gonna show how to swap two items in a list. This post is an extension of How to swap two variables in Python. Swap by index This first code snippet assumes you already know the index…

Use the isdecimal() method to check if a string only contains decimals, that is, only numbers from 0 to 9 and combinations of these numbers. Subscript, superscript, roman numerals, and other variations will be returned as False. word = '32'…
