Coursera-Introduction to Data Science in Python-Day 1

Week 1: Introduction to the Course

1. Python Types and Sequences

Python Types (tuple, list, dictionary)

• Tuple
  x = (1, 'a', 2, 'b')
  不可更改，数据类型不必一致。
• List
  x = [1, 'a', 2,'b']
  可以更改，数据类型不必一致。
  更改方式：

x.append(3,3)
print(x)

for item in x:
	print(item)

i = 0
while i!=len(x):
	print(x[i])
	i = i+1

1 in[1,2,3]
#Out: True

• dictionary

Slicing

x = 'This is a string'
print(x[0])
print(x[0:1]) #包括前面，不包括后面
print(x[0,2])

x[-1]# 倒数第一个元素
x[-4:-2] #倒数第四，倒数第三
x[:3] #前三个元素
x[3:] #从第三个到随后一个元素

Split Strings

firstname = 'Christopher'
lastname = 'Brooks'

print(firstname + ' ' + lastname)
print(firstname *3)
print('Chris' in firstname
