Python CheatSheet 📚 ✅

1. Basic Syntax
- Print Statement: print("Hello, World!")
- Comments: # This is a comment

2. Data Types
- Integer: x = 10
- Float: y = 10.5
- String: name = "Alice"
- List: fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
- Tuple: coordinates = (10, 20)
- Dictionary: person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}

3. Control Structures
- If Statement:

     if x > 10:
         print("x is greater than 10")
     

- For Loop:

     for fruit in fruits:
         print(fruit)
     

- While Loop:

     while x < 5:
         x += 1
     

4. Functions
- Define Function:

     def greet(name):
         return f"Hello, {name}!"
     

- Lambda Function: add = lambda a, b: a + b

5. Exception Handling
- Try-Except Block:

     try:
         result = 10 / 0
     except ZeroDivisionError:
         print("Cannot divide by zero.")
     

6. File I/O
- Read File:

     with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
         content = file.read()
     

- Write File:

     with open('file.txt', 'w') as file:
         file.write("Hello, World!")
     

7. List Comprehensions
- Basic Example: squared = [x**2 for x in range(10)]
- Conditional Comprehension: even_squares = [x**2 for x in range(10) if x % 2 == 0]

8. Modules and Packages
- Import Module: import math
- Import Specific Function: from math import sqrt

9. Common Libraries
- NumPy: import numpy as np
- Pandas: import pandas as pd
- Matplotlib: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

10. Object-Oriented Programming
- Define Class:

      class Dog:
          def __init__(self, name):
              self.name = name
          def bark(self):
              return "Woof!"
      

11. Virtual Environments
- Create Environment: python -m venv myenv
- Activate Environment:
- Windows: myenv\Scripts\activate
- macOS/Linux: source myenv/bin/activate

12. Common Commands
- Run Script: python script.py
- Install Package: pip install package_name
- List Installed Packages: pip list
