-Python was created by Guido van Rossum in the early 90s. It is now one of the most popular
-languages in existence. I fell in love with Python for its syntactic clarity. It's basically
-executable pseudocode.
-
-Note: This article applies to Python 3 specifically. Check out [here](http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python/) if you want to learn the old Python 2.7

-# Single line comments start with a number symbol.

- using three "s, and are often used

-## 1. Primitive Datatypes and Operators
-####################################################
-
-# You have numbers
-3 # => 3
-
-# Math is what you would expect
-1 + 1 # => 2
-8 - 1 # => 7
-10 * 2 # => 20
-35 / 5 # => 7.0
-
-# Integer division rounds down for both positive and negative numbers.
-5 // 3 # => 1
--5 // 3 # => -2
-5.0 // 3.0 # => 1.0 # works on floats too
--5.0 // 3.0 # => -2.0
-
-# The result of division is always a float
-10.0 / 3 # => 3.3333333333333335
-
-# Modulo operation
-7 % 3 # => 1
-
-# Exponentiation (x**y, x to the yth power)
-2**3 # => 8
-
-# Enforce precedence with parentheses
-1 + 3 * 2 # => 7
-(1 + 3) * 2 # => 8
-
-# Boolean values are primitives (Note: the capitalization)
-True # => True
-False # => False
-
-# negate with not
-not True # => False
-not False # => True
-
-# Boolean Operators
-# Note "and" and "or" are case-sensitive
-True and False # => False
-False or True # => True
-
-# True and False are actually 1 and 0 but with different keywords
-True + True # => 2
-True * 8 # => 8
-False - 5 # => -5
-
-# Comparison operators look at the numerical value of True and False
-0 == False # => True
-1 == True # => True
-2 == True # => False
--5 != False # => True
-
-# Using boolean logical operators on ints casts them to booleans for evaluation, but their non-cast value is returned
-# Don't mix up with bool(ints) and bitwise and/or (&,|)
-bool(0) # => False
-bool(4) # => True
-bool(-6) # => True
-0 and 2 # => 0
--5 or 0 # => -5
-
-# Equality is ==
-1 == 1 # => True
-2 == 1 # => False
-
-# Inequality is !=
-1 != 1 # => False
-2 != 1 # => True
-
-# More comparisons
-1 < 10 # => True
-1 > 10 # => False
-2 <= 2 # => True
-2 >= 2 # => True
-
-# Seeing whether a value is in a range
-1 < 2 and 2 < 3 # => True
-2 < 3 and 3 < 2 # => False
-# Chaining makes this look nicer
-1 < 2 < 3 # => True
-2 < 3 < 2 # => False
-
-# (is vs. ==) is checks if two variables refer to the same object, but == checks
-# if the objects pointed to have the same values.
-a = [1, 2, 3, 4] # Point a at a new list, [1, 2, 3, 4]
-b = a # Point b at what a is pointing to
-b is a # => True, a and b refer to the same object
-b == a # => True, a's and b's objects are equal
-b = [1, 2, 3, 4] # Point b at a new list, [1, 2, 3, 4]
-b is a # => False, a and b do not refer to the same object
-b == a # => True, a's and b's objects are equal
-
-# Strings are created with " or '
-"This is a string."
-'This is also a string.'
-
-# Strings can be added too! But try not to do this.
-"Hello " + "world!" # => "Hello world!"
-# String literals (but not variables) can be concatenated without using '+'
-"Hello " "world!" # => "Hello world!"
-
-# A string can be treated like a list of characters
-"This is a string"[0] # => 'T'
-
-# You can find the length of a string
-len("This is a string") # => 16
-
-# You can also format using f-strings or formatted string literals (in Python 3.6+)
-name = "Reiko"
-f"She said her name is {name}." # => "She said her name is Reiko"
-# You can basically put any Python statement inside the braces and it will be output in the string.
-f"{name} is {len(name)} characters long." # => "Reiko is 5 characters long."
-
-
-# None is an object
-None # => None
-
-# Don't use the equality "==" symbol to compare objects to None
-# Use "is" instead. This checks for equality of object identity.
-"etc" is None # => False
-None is None # => True
-
-# None, 0, and empty strings/lists/dicts/tuples all evaluate to False.
-# All other values are True
-bool(0) # => False
-bool("") # => False
-bool([]) # => False
-bool({}) # => False
-bool(()) # => False

-
-# By default the print function also prints out a newline at the end.
-# Use the optional argument end to change the end string.
-print("Hello, World", end="!") # => Hello, World!
-
-# Simple way to get input data from console
-input_string_var = input("Enter some data: ") # Returns the data as a string
-# Note: In earlier versions of Python, input() method was named as raw_input()
-

-
-# Accessing a previously unassigned variable is an exception.
-# See Control Flow to learn more about exception handling.
-some_unknown_var # Raises a NameError

-li[4] # Raises an IndexError
-
-# You can look at ranges with slice syntax.
-# The start index is included, the end index is not
-# (It's a closed/open range for you mathy types.)
-li[1:3] # Return list from index 1 to 3 => [2, 4]
-li[2:] # Return list starting from index 2 => [4, 3]
-li[:3] # Return list from beginning until index 3 => [1, 2, 4]

-
-# Get the index of the first item found matching the argument

-li.index(4) # Raises a ValueError as 4 is not in the list

- species = "H. sapiens"
-
- # Basic initializer, this is called when this class is instantiated.
- # Note that the double leading and trailing underscores denote objects
- # or attributes that are used by Python but that live in user-controlled
- # namespaces. Methods(or objects or attributes) like: __init__, __str__,
- # __repr__ etc. are called special methods (or sometimes called dunder methods)
- # You should not invent such names on your own.
- def __init__(self, name):

- @staticmethod
- def grunt():

-## 6.1 Inheritance
-####################################################
-
-# Inheritance allows new child classes to be defined that inherit methods and
-# variables from their parent class.
-
-# Using the Human class defined above as the base or parent class, we can
-# define a child class, Superhero, which inherits the class variables like
-# "species", "name", and "age", as well as methods, like "sing" and "grunt"
-# from the Human class, but can also have its own unique properties.
-
-# To take advantage of modularization by file you could place the classes above in their own files,
-# say, human.py
-
-# To import functions from other files use the following format
-# from "filename-without-extension" import "function-or-class"
-
-from human import Human
-
-
-# Specify the parent class(es) as parameters to the class definition
-class Superhero(Human):
-
- # If the child class should inherit all of the parent's definitions without
- # any modifications, you can just use the "pass" keyword (and nothing else)
- # but in this case it is commented out to allow for a unique child class:
- # pass
-
- # Child classes can override their parents' attributes
- species = 'Superhuman'
-
- # Children automatically inherit their parent class's constructor including
- # its arguments, but can also define additional arguments or definitions
- # and override its methods such as the class constructor.
- # This constructor inherits the "name" argument from the "Human" class and
- # adds the "superpower" and "movie" arguments:
- def __init__(self, name, movie=False,
- superpowers=["super strength", "bulletproofing"]):
-
- # add additional class attributes:
- self.fictional = True
- self.movie = movie
- # be aware of mutable default values, since defaults are shared
- self.superpowers = superpowers
-
- # The "super" function lets you access the parent class's methods
- # that are overridden by the child, in this case, the __init__ method.
- # This calls the parent class constructor:
- super().__init__(name)
-
- # override the sing method
- def sing(self):
- return 'Dun, dun, DUN!'
-
- # add an additional instance method
- def boast(self):
- for power in self.superpowers:
- print("I wield the power of {pow}!".format(pow=power))

-

- if isinstance(sup, Human):
- print('I am human')

-
- # Get the Method Resolution search Order used by both getattr() and super()
- # This attribute is dynamic and can be updated
- print(Superhero.__mro__) # => (<class '__main__.Superhero'>,
- # => <class 'human.Human'>, <class 'object'>)
-
- # Calls parent method but uses its own class attribute
- print(sup.get_species()) # => Superhuman
-
- # Calls overridden method
- print(sup.sing()) # => Dun, dun, DUN!
-
- # Calls method from Human
- sup.say('Spoon') # => Tick: Spoon

- sup.boast() # => I wield the power of super strength!
