In this article, we will create simple and easy projects using python. Let us begin with understanding what python is;
Python: Python is an interpreted high-level general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its use of significant indentation. Its language constructs as well as its object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects. Python is used for web development, AI, machine learning, operating systems, mobile application development, and video games.
Why we use python for projects?
It's stable, flexible, and gives developers access to a variety of tools that make their jobs easier. Machine Learning projects rely on complex algorithms, leaving very little room for error. Python's simplicity, related to its easily readable code, gives programmers confidence in the projects they work on.
Let’s start doing the projects
1. Calculator
Building this project you would learn to design a graphical UI and make you familiar with a library like Tkinter. This library enables you to create buttons to perform different operations and display results on the screen.
We will create a simple calculator which can perform basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and average depending upon the user input. We have use while loop to display the results, we declare a list to store the variables and if-elif-else branching is used to execute a particular section. We have successfully designed a python calculator.
Sample Code:
2. Tic- Tac- Toe
This game is very popular amongst all of us and even fun to build as a Python project. I am pretty sure most of us know how to play it but let me give a quick brush up.
It is a two-player game and consists of a nine-square grid. Each player chooses their move and with O or X and marks their square one at each chance. The player who succeeds in making their marks all in one line whether diagonally, horizontally, or vertically wins. The challenge for the other player is to block the game for their opponent and also to make their chain.
For building this project in Python who can use the pygame Python library that is loaded with all computer graphics and sounds.
So, let’s start by importing the pygame library , import random and sys. Initialise the board value in the range of (0,9). We use different functions like print_board() to print the value of board, select_char() to select the character from ( ‘x’ , ‘o’ ), can_move() is used to make the move,can_win() states if the player wins,other functions used are make_move(), computer_move(), space_exist() is used to check if the player can enter a character, lastly we use for loop to iterate the statements and if-else statement used to check the whether the conditions are true or false.
Voila your game is ready to play!
Sample Code:
Conclusion:
In this article we learnt about the python language, why projects are done using python and we have seen intersting and easy projects using python.
