A Beginner’s Guide to Python for Data Science - Part 5 Adding Comments in Python

Image
  In the  last article , we introduced statements and indentation in Python. Next, let’s discuss commenting in Python. Comments are   descriptions of the code   under consideration. So we can write one or more lines of explanation. There can be times when you need to write some long and complicated code for a task. After it is complete, you might save the file somewhere, but when you refer to the code sometime in the future, let’s say, after three or four months, you may not be able to understand the code you have written yourself! To help yourself and anyone going through your code, in the hope of understanding its utility, you should generously use comments to clarify the written code. Commenting is necessary, especially for the complicated functions you might have created for a specific task. There are a few ways to declare a comment inside Python. The easiest way is to use a hash symbol (#). When we use the hash symbol inside our code, the python interpreter igno...

A Beginner’s Guide to Python for Data Science - Part 4 Statements and Indentation in Python

  In the  last article , we introduced the jupyter notebook and its functionality. Now that we have learnt the basics of the jupyter notebook, it’s time we get to the meat of the matter, i.e. time to start learning Python. Statements: The first thing we will discuss is “Statements and Indentation”. A Statement is any instruction or set of commands given to Python, or we can say that a statement is any code executable inside Python. So a simple addition that we performed while checking the installation is an example of a statement. There are two types of statements that you would generally see in Python, they are: Single-line statement. Multi-line statement. Let’s see an example of a multi-line statement. We will add the first six numbers for the task. We will run the following command: my_variable = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) As soon as we print the variable we see that we get the sum of desired numbers. In the above code, I entered the entire addition in one line, which could al...
