FILES
 File is a named location on disk to store related information.
 Data for python program can come from difference sources such
as keyboard, text file, web server, database.
 To store data permanently. Stored non-volatile memory.
 We can retrieve whenever required.
 Ex: Student.txt
 Two types of files
 Text files : A text file can be a sequence of
lines without any images, tables etc. Ex: text,
json.
 Binary files : Files are capable of storing text,
image, video, audio, database files, etc which
contains the data in the form of bits.
 File Handling:
 Opening files
 Reading files
 Writing files
 Closing files
age =input(“Enter your age”)
print(age)
 Above statement age will be lost once application
is closed.
 To store data permanently using files
age =input(“Enter your age”)
f=open(“data.txt”,’w’)
f.write(age)
f.close()
statement
 automatically closes the file.
 syntax:
 open(“filename “, mode=‘r’, buffering,
encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None,
closefd=True)
 f= open(“filename”, “mode”)
//mode : reading, writing, appending etc.

 If mode is not specified , by default, open( ) uses

mode ‘r’ for reading
files in python
 collection of data stored on a secondary storage device.
 RAM(volatile)
 ROM(non-volatile)
 file path:
every file identified by its path.
relative path and absolute path.
file path
 absolute path : always contains the root to the
complete dictionary.
 relative path:start with respect to the current working
directory.
 example:
c:\students\undergraduate\BTech_cs.dcox
why we need file?
types of file
what is file handling
creating file
open function
file open()
read() operation
example:
example 1
#example1
f=open("D:/test1.txt",'r')
print(f.read())
-------
output:
hello everyone welcome to python classes

​
example2
f=open("D:/test.txt","r")
print(f.read(5))
---------
output:
hello
append()-example
#append example
f=open("D:/test.txt","a")
print(f.write("this is a appending operation in file"))
-------------------------
output:
37
example
Counts number of lines and print them.
f=open("D:/test.txt","r")
for x in f:
print (x)
_______
output:
hello everyone, welcome to python programming classes
this is a appending operation in file
access modes:read
 r-read: only reading
 file must exsits before opening file
 file pointer points at the begining of the file.
write mode
 w-writing contents into the file
 file exists-begining of file and over writtens the data
 not exists-new files is created
append()
 file exists :pointer points at the end of the content.
 new file is created
writing to the file
 write()- single line
 writelines()-multi line
example:
#reading file and display the contents
f=open("D:/test.txt","r")
print(f.read())
_____________
output:
hello everyone, welcome to python programming classes
example:
f=open("D:/test.txt","w")
print(f.write("this is a appending operation in file"))
--------------
output:

delete()
 first close the opened file.
 f.close()
 import library os
 syntax:

Classes and objects
 Python is an object-oriented programming language
 Everything in Python is an object, with its properties
and methods
 Class definition
class ClassName: //'Optional class documentation string' class_suite
list the difference Procedural and
Object Oriented Programming
 Definition
 Security
 Method
 Division of Program
 Movement of Data
 Approach
 Inheritance
 Reusability of Code
oops concepts
 class
 object
 abstraction
 encapsultaion
 inheritance
 polymorphism
 blue print which followed by objects.
 logical structure with behavior
 object:
 instance of class
class
attributes

functions

class is logical structure object is physical entity

XYZ
student
roll_no roll
name name

Inheritance
 derived class inherits properties from base class
 derived class
 based class
Polymorphism
 implementing same method in different context.
 method with same name implementing different way
+
For Instance
 Institution:
 Faculty Details
 Students Details
 Non Faculty Details
 Other Details
 Personal Details : : Name , DOB, Address
 Faculty Details : Designation, salary, Attendence
 Students Details : Progress, Attendence
 Non Faculty Details : Designation, salary, Attendence
class Point:
def init (self,a=0,b=0):
self.x=a
self.y=b

def str (self):

return "(%d,%d)"%(self.x, self.y)

def add (self, p2):

p3=Point()
p3.x=self.x+p2.x
p3.y=self.y+p2.y
return p3
p1=Point(10,20)
p2=Point()
print("P1 is:",p1)
print("P2 is:",p2)
p4=p1+p2
print("Sum is:",p4)
Key points to remember
 Create a Class : class MyClass:
 Create Object : p1 = MyClass()
 The __init__() :
 the built-in __init__() function every class
 which is always executed when the class is being initiated
 We use to assign values to object properties
 Object Methods : p1.myfunc()
 The self Parameter :
 reference to the current instance of the class
 Modify Object Properties : p1.age = 40

 Delete Object Properties : del p1.age

 delete properties on objects by using the del keyword
 Delete Objects : del p1
 delete objects by using the del keyword
 The pass Statement :
 Class cannot be empty class Person:
 For some reason have a class definition with no content pass
Self Parameter
class Person:
def __init__(mysillyobject, name, age):
mysillyobject.name = name
mysillyobject.age = age

def myfunc(abc):
print("Hello my name is " + abc.name)

p1 = Person("John", 36)
p1.myfunc()

 Class Attributes & Data Attributes
 Encapsulation
 Using Private Instance Variables
 Inheritance
 Accessing Inherited Variables & Methods
 Use of super()
 Polymorphism
 Operator Overloading & Magic Methods
Encapsulation
 In Python, encapsulation refers to the bundling of data
(attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on
the data into a single unit
 Encapsulation features :
 Organized variable and its methods.
 Avoids unnecessary modification of variable.
 Can use across the modular programming.
Example
class Public:
def __init__(self ):
self.name = "John" # Public attribute

def display_name(self):
print(self.name) # Public method

obj = Public()
obj.display_name() # Accessible
print(obj.name) # Accessible
Polymorphism
 Polymorphism means that you can have multiple
classes where each class implements the same
variables or methods in different ways. Polymorphism
takes advantages of inheritance in order to make this
happen.
Example:
def add(a, b):
return a + b
print(add(3, 4)) # Integer addition
print(add("Hello, ", "World!")) # String concatenation
print(add([1, 2], [3, 4])) # List concatenation
Example 2:
class Shape: class Circle(Shape):
def area(self): def __init__(self, radius):
return "Undefined" self.radius = radius
def area(self):
class Rectangle(Shape): return 3.14 * self.radius ** 2
def __init__(self, length, width):
self.length = length shapes = [Rectangle(2, 3),
self.width = width Circle(5)]
def area(self): for shape in shapes:
return self.length * self.width print(f"Area: {shape.area()}")
Operator Overloading
 Normally operators like +,-,/,*, works fine with built-in datatypes.
 Changing the behavior of an operator so that it works with programmer
defined types(class) is called operator overloading.
 Basic operators like +, -, * etc. can be overloaded. To overload an operator, one
needs to write a method within user-defined class. The method should consist
of the code what the programmer is willing to do with the operator.
 Let us consider an example to overload + operator to add two Time
objects by defining add method inside the class.
 In the above example,
 when the statement t3=t1+t2 is used, it invokes a special method add ()
written inside the class. Because, internal meaning of this statement is t3 = t1.
add (t2)
 Here, t1 is the object invoking the method. Hence, self inside add () is the
reference (alias) of t1. And, t2 is passed as argument explicitly.
 Python provides a special set of methods which have to be used for overloading
operator. Following table shows gives a list of operators and their respective
Python methods for overloading.
Exception Handling
 Using try… except… finally
 The try block lets you test a block of code for errors.
 The except block lets you handle the error.
 The else block lets you execute code when there is no
error.
 The finally block lets you execute code, regardless of the
result of the try- and except blocks.

 When an error occurs, or exception as we call it, Python

will normally stop and generate an error message. These
exceptions can be handled using the try statement:
Raise an exception
 As a Python developer you can choose to throw an
exception if a condition occurs.
 raise keyword : is used to throw an exception

x = -1

if x < 0:
raise Exception("Sorry, no numbers below zero")
Types of Errors in Python
 Syntax errors:
 Syntax errors occur when the code violates the rules of the Python
language syntax. These errors are detected by the Python interpreter
when it is parsing the code. (Missing colon, Unmatched
parentheses, Missing quotes, Using a keyword as a variable name,
Missing indentation)
 Runtime errors:
 Runtime errors occur when the code is syntactically correct but causes
an error when it is executed. These errors can be caused by a variety of
reasons, such as invalid input data, division by zero, or accessing an
undefined variable.
 Logical errors:
 Logical errors occur when the code is syntactically correct and runs
without causing any errors, but the output is not what you expected.
These errors can be caused by incorrect algorithmic design,
mathematical errors, or a misunderstanding of the problem
requirements.
Examples
if x>0
print(“x is positive”) x=”20”
y=10
********************** z=x/y #TypeError
list1=[10,20,30]
print(list1[4]) ***********************
#IndexError
str1=”Hello, Sam”
*********************** str1.reverse() #AttributeError
a=5
b=10 ************************
average = a+b /2 x=0
print(average) while x<20:
print(x)
*******************
a=20
print(b) # Name Error
Build-in exceptions in python
1) SyntaxError: Raised when there is a syntax error in the Python code
2) Type Error: Raised when an operation or function is applied to an object of
inappropriate type.
3) ValueError: Raised when a built-in operation or function receives an argument
that has the right type but an inappropriate value.
4) IndexError: Raised when trying to access an index that does not exist in a
sequence.
5) KeyError: Raised when trying to access a key that does not exist in a dictionary.
6) NameError: Raised when a variable name is not defined.
7) AttributeError: Raised when trying to access an attribute that does not exist.
8) I/OError: Raised when an input/output operation fails.
9) ZeroDivisionError: Raised when trying to divide a number by zero.
10) MemoryError: Creating a large list or array that exceeds the available memory
11) ImportError: Raised when an import statement fails to find and load the
requested module.
 Program to check for ValueError Exception
while True:
try:
number = int(input("Enter a number:"))
print(f"The number you have entered is {number}")
break
except ValueError:
print("Oops! That was no valid number. Try again...")

Output:
Enter a number: wer
Oops! That was no valid number. Try again...
Enter a number:4.0
Oops! That was no valid number. Try again...
Enter a number:
Program to check for ZeroDivisionError
x=int(input("Enter value of x:"))  Output:
y=int(input("Enter value of y:")) Enter value of x:4
try: Enter value of y:2
result=x/y Result is 2.0
except ZeroDivisionError: Executing finally clause
print("Division by zero")
else: Enter value of x:2
print(f"Result is {result}") Enter value of y:0
finally: Division by zero
print("Executing finally Executing finally clause
clause")
Encapsulation
 In Python, encapsulation refers to the bundling of data
(attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on
the data into a single unit
 Encapsulation features :
 Organized variable and its methods.
 Avoids unnecessary modification of variable.
 Can use across the modular programming.
Encapsulation in python
 Wrapping of variables and functions under a single unit
 data hiding, private
Ex: Class Encap:
Class Encap: __a=10
a=10 def display(self):
def display(self):
print(self.a) print(self.__a)
e=Encap() e=Encap()
e.display() e.display()
print(e.a) print(e.a)
# Invalid cannot access private var

Here, a is a public variable, which can be accessed anywhere in the program

Inorder, to provide data hiding we have to provide private access specifier.
Python doesn’t support private access specifier

Python provides _ _
__a =10 is represented as private variable
__display(self): is represented as private method
Class Encap:
__a=10
def __display(self ):
print(self.__a)
def show(self):
self.__display()

e=Encap()
e.display() # Invalid cannot access private var
print(e.a) # Invalid cannot access private var

e.show()
Class Encap:
__a=10
def setA(self,a):
self.a=a
def getA(self):
return(self.a)

e=Encap()
e.setA(30)
print(e.getA())
 Consider I have 2 forms :
 Student register form
 Student login form

 Student register form:

 Student name, age, class, branch, year, address, city,
state, phone number, username, password
 Student login form:
 Student username, password
Class StudentEncap:
class StudentRegisterForm:
__name=“”
__age=0 pass
__username=“” class StudentLoginForm:
__password=“” pass

def setNAME(self,name):
self.__name=name Event: Btn_Save()
def getNAME(self):
return(self.__name)
def setAGE(self,age): objStudent= StudentEncap()
self.__age=age objStudent.setName(txtName.text())
def getAGE(self): objStudent.setAge(txtAge.text())
return(self.__age)
def setUSERNAME(self,username): InsertToDatabase(objStudent)
self.__username=username
********************************************
def getUSERNAME(self):
return(self.__username) Event: Btn_View()
def setPASSWORD(self,password):
self.__password=password objStudent = StudentEncap()
def getPASSWORD(self):
return(self.__password) objStudent=GetDetailsFromDatabase()
txtName.text=s1.getName()
txtAge.text=s1.getAge()
Variables & Methods in python
 Instance variables
 Static variables // Class level var : Value is same for all
objects
 Local variables

print()
def accessProtectedMembers(self):
self._displayProtectedMembers()# Object can access protected member
print("Object is accessing protected member:", obj._var2)
# creating objects of the derived class print("Object is accessing private member:", obj._Super__var3
obj = Sub("Geeks", 4, "Geeks!")
# object can not access private member, so it will generate
Attribute error
# print(obj.__var3)
Abstraction:
 Abstract Class is a collection of abstract methods
 Abstract class cannot be instantiated (Cannot create an object)
 If there is inherited, only we can implement abstract class

 Abstract Method contains only declaration (No definition)

 @abstractmethod decorator

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

Class AbstractDemo1(ABC):
@abstractmethod #decorator
def display(self):
pass

class AbstractDemo2(AbstractDemo1):
def display(Self):
print(“AD@ display”)

Obj=AbsractDemo2()
Obj.display()
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
Class AbstractDemo1(ABC): #abstract class
@abstractmethod #decorator
def display(self):
pass

@abstractmethod #decorator
def show(self):
pass

class AbstractDemo2(AbstractDemo1): #abstract class Its not having all methods of abstract class
def display(Self):
print(“AD2 display”)
class AbstractDemo3(AbstractDemo1):
def display(Self):
print(“AD3 display”)
def Show(Self):
print(“AD3 display”)

Obj=AbsractDemo3()
Obj.display()
Obj.show()
Polymorphism:
 Operator Overloading:
 Using same operator for different purpose
 We can provide extra meaning to existing operator
without changing its previous meaning
 +  add 2 numbers; concatenate 2 strings;
 cannot add 2 objects, but can be done using operator
overloading
 Method Overloading
 Method Overriding
Method Overloading class Number:
class Number: def __init__(Self,a,b,c):
def __init__(Self,a,b,c): Self.a=a
Self.b=b
Self.a=a Self.c=c
Self.b=b #Predefined syntax
Self.c=c def __add__(Self,other):
N1=Number(1,2,3) a=Self.a+other.a
b=Self.b+other.b
N2=Number(4,5,6) c=Self.c+other.c
res=Number(a,b,c)
N1+N2 (5,7,9) return res
def __lt__(Self,other):
o1=self.a+self.b+self.c
o2=other.a+other.b+other.c
if(o1<o2):
return True
else:
N1=Number(1,2,3) return False
N2=Number(4,5,6)

N3=N1+N2 (5,7,9) #N1 is assigned to self, N2 is for

other
print(N3.a,N3.b,N3.c)
Method Overloading
 Python doesn’t support Method Overloading we have to
use default arguments.
 If we use default arguments in method declaration
class MethodOverloading:
def display(self, a=None, b=None, c=None):
print(a,b,c)
Obj=MethodOverloading()
Obj.display()
Obj.display(10)
Obj.display(10,20)
Obj.display(10,20,30)
Method Overriding
 Is implemented only during Inheritance:

class Base:
def display(Self):
print(“Base Class display”)
class Derived(Base): #if it is not satisfied base class methods definition

def display(Self): #Derived class is redefining the base class method

print(“Derived Class display()”)
obj=Derived()
obj.display()
