01 Strings 字符串

Ⅰ Strings are An Abstraction.

>>> 'curry = lambda f: lambda x: lambda y: f(x, y)'
'curry = lambda f: lambda x: lambda y: f(x, y)'
>>> exec('curry = lambda f: lambda x: lambda y: f(x, y)')
>>> curry
<function <lambda> at 0x1003c1bf8>
>>> from operator import add
>>> curry(add)(3)(4)
7

Ⅱ Strings Literals have Three Forms

>>> 'I am string'
'I am string'
>>> '您好'
'您好'

>>> "I've learned a lot from CS61A"
"I've learned a lot from CS61A"

>>> """The Zen of Python 
claims, Readability counts. 
Read more: import this."""
'The Zen of Python\nclaims, Readability counts.\nRead more: import this.'

① Single-quoted and double-quoted strings are equivalent.

② A backslash "escapes" the following character.

③ "Line feed" character represents a new line.

Ⅲ String are Sequences

Length and element selection are similar to all sequences.

However, the "in" and "not in" operators match substrings.

When working with strings, we usually care about whole words more than letters.

02 Dictionaries 字典

Dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs.

>>> numerals = {'I': 1, 'V': 5, 'X': 10}
>>> numerals
{'I': 1, 'V': 5, 'X': 10}

>>> numerals['I']
1
>>> numerals[0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 0
>>> numerals['V']
5
>>> numerals['X']
10

>>> list(numerals)
['I', 'V', 'X']
>>> numerals.values()
dict_values([1, 5, 10])
>>> list(numerals.values())
[1, 5, 10]
>>> sum(numerals.values())
16

>>> {}
{}
>>> {1: {}}
{1: {}}
>>> {1: 'item'}
{1: 'item'}
>>> {1: ['first', 'second'], 3: 'third'}
{1: ['first', 'second'], 3: 'third'}
>>> d = {1: ['first', 'second'], 3: 'third'}
>>> d[1]
['first', 'second']
>>> d[3]
'third'

>>> len(d)
2
>>> len(d[1])
2
>>> len(d[3])
5

Dictionary key do have two restrictions.

#Two keys cannot be equal
#There can be at most one value for a given key
>>> {1: 'first', 1: 'second'}
{1: 'second'}

#A key of a dictionary cannot be a list or a dictionary(or any mutable type)
#[] or {}
>>> {[1]: 'first'}
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: unhashable type: 'list'

>>> {{}: 'first'}
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: unhashable type: 'dict'

The first restriction is part of the dictionary abstraction.

The second restriction is tied to Python's underlying implementation of dictionaries.

If you want to associate multiple values with a key, store them all in a sequence value.

03 Dictionary Comprehensions 字典理解

An expression that evaluates to a dictionary using this evaluation procedure:

① Add a new frame with the current frame as its parent.

② Create an empty result dictionary that is the value of the expression.

③ For each element in the iterable value of <iter exp>:

A. Bind <name> to that element in the new frame from step 1.

B. If <filter exp> evaluates to a true value, then add to the result dictionary an entry that

pairs the value of <key exp> to the value of <value exp>.

Example 1: Indexing

def index(keys, values, match):
    """Return a dictionary from keys to a list of values for which 
    match(k, v) is a true value.
    
    >>> index([7, 9, 11], range(30, 50), lambda k, v: v % k == 0)
    {7: [35, 42, 49], 9: [36, 45], 11: [33, 44]}
    """
    return {k: [v for v in values if match(k, v) for k in keys]}
