We created this Python 3 Cheat Sheet initially for students of Complete Python Developer: Zero to Mastery but we're now sharing it with any Python beginners to help them learn and remember common Python syntax and with intermediate and advanced Python developers as a handy reference. If you'd like to download a PDF version of this Python Cheat Sheet, you can get it here!

Advanced Python: Modules,Iterators,Generators,Decorators,Class,Exceptions,Command Line Arguments,File IO,Useful Libraries
python's 2 main types for Numbers is int and float (or integers and floating point numbers)
type(1) # int
type(-10) # int
type(0) # int
type(0.0) # float
type(2.2) # float
type(4E2) # float - 4*10 to the power of 2# Arithmetic
10 + 3 # 13
10 - 3 # 7
10 * 3 # 30
10 ** 3 # 1000
10 / 3 # 3.3333333333333335
10 // 3 # 3 --> floor division - no decimals and returns an int
10 % 3 # 1 --> modulo operator - return the remainder. Good for deciding if number is even or odd# Basic Functions
pow(5, 2) # 25 --> like doing 5**2
abs(-50) # 50
round(5.46) # 5
round(5.468, 2)# 5.47 --> round to nth digit
bin(512) # '0b1000000000' --> binary format
hex(512) # '0x200' --> hexadecimal format# Converting Strings to Numbers
age = input("How old are you?")
age = int(age)
pi = input("What is the value of pi?")
pi = float(pi)strings in python are stored as sequences of letters in memory
type('Hellloooooo') # str
'I\'m thirsty'
"I'm thirsty"
"\n" # new line
"\t" # adds a tab
'Hey you!'[4] # y
name = 'Andrei Neagoie'
name[4] # e

'Hi there ' + 'Timmy' # 'Hi there Timmy' --> This is called string concatenation
'*'*10 # **********# Basic Functions
len('turtle') # 6
# Basic Methods
' I am alone '.strip() # 'I am alone' --> Strips all whitespace characters from both ends.
'On an island'.strip('d') # 'On an islan' --> # Strips all passed characters from both ends.
'but life is good!'.split() # ['but', 'life', 'is', 'good!']
'Help me'.replace('me', 'you') # 'Help you' --> Replaces first with second param
'Need to make fire'.startswith('Need')# True
'and cook rice'.endswith('rice') # True
'still there?'.upper() # STILL THERE?
'HELLO?!'.lower() # hello?!
'ok, I am done.'.capitalize() # 'Ok, I am done.'
'oh hi there'.count('e') # 2
'bye bye'.index('e') # 2
'oh hi there'.find('i') # 4 --> returns the starting index position of the first occurrence
'oh hi there'.find('a') # -1
'oh hi there'.index('a') # Raises ValueError# String Formatting

<D>, 'time'<T>, 'datetime'<DT>and 'timedelta'<TD>classes. All are immutable and hashable. - Time and datetime can be 'aware'
<a>, meaning they have defined timezone, or 'naive'<n>, meaning they don't. - If object is naive it is presumed to be in system's timezone.
