HomeBackend DevelopmentPython Tutorial从零学Python之入门(五)缩进和选择

缩进

Python最具特色的是用缩进来标明成块的代码。我下面以if选择结构来举例。if后面跟随条件,如果条件成立,则执行归属于if的一个代码块。

先看C语言的表达方式(注意,这是C,不是Python!)

复制代码 代码如下:

if ( i > 0 )
{
    x = 1;
    y = 2;
}

如果i > 0的话,我们将进行括号中所包括的两个赋值操作。括号中包含的就是块操作,它隶属于if。

在Python中,同样的目的,这段话是这样的

复制代码 代码如下:

if i > 0:
    x = 1
    y = 2

在Python中, 去掉了i > 0周围的括号,去除了每个语句句尾的分号,表示块的花括号也消失了。

多出来了if ...之后的:(冒号), 还有就是x = 1 和 y =2前面有四个空格的缩进。通过缩进,Python识别出这两个语句是隶属于if。

Python这样设计的理由纯粹是为了程序好看。

if语句

写一个完整的程序,命名为ifDemo.py。这个程序用于实现if结构。

复制代码 代码如下:

i = 1
x = 1
if i > 0:
    x = x+1
print x

$python ifDemo.py  # 运行

程序运行到if的时候,条件为True,因此执行x = x+1,。

print x语句没有缩进,那么就是if之外。

如果将第一句改成i = -1,那么if遇到假值 (False), x = x+1隶属于if, 这一句跳过。 print x没有缩进,是if之外,不跳过,继续执行。

这种以四个空格的缩进来表示隶属关系的书写方式,以后还会看到。强制缩进增强了程序的可读性。

复杂一些的if选择:

复制代码 代码如下:

i = 1

if i > 0:
    print 'positive i'
    i = i + 1
elif i == 0:
    print 'i is 0'
    i = i * 10
else:
    print 'negative i'
    i = i - 1

print 'new i:',i

这里有三个块,分别属于if, elif, else引领。
Python检测条件,如果发现if的条件为假,那么跳过后面紧跟的块,检测下一个elif的条件; 如果还是假,那么执行else块。
通过上面的结构将程序分出三个分支。程序根据条件,只执行三个分支中的一个。

整个if可以放在另一个if语句中,也就是if结构的嵌套使用:

复制代码 代码如下:

i  = 5
if i > 1:
    print 'i bigger than 1'
    print 'good'
    if i > 2:
        print 'i bigger than 2'
        print 'even better'

if i > 2 后面的块相对于该if缩进了四个空格,以表明其隶属于该if,而不是外层的if。

总结

if语句之后的冒号

以四个空格的缩进来表示隶属关系, Python中不能随意缩进

复制代码 代码如下:

if  :

    statement

elif :

    statement

elif :

    statement

else:

    statement

In Python 3, two lists can be connected through a variety of methods: 1) Use operator, which is suitable for small lists, but is inefficient for large lists; 2) Use extend method, which is suitable for large lists, with high memory efficiency, but will modify the original list; 3) Use * operator, which is suitable for merging multiple lists, without modifying the original list; 4) Use itertools.chain, which is suitable for large data sets, with high memory efficiency.

Using the join() method is the most efficient way to connect strings from lists in Python. 1) Use the join() method to be efficient and easy to read. 2) The cycle uses operators inefficiently for large lists. 3) The combination of list comprehension and join() is suitable for scenarios that require conversion. 4) The reduce() method is suitable for other types of reductions, but is inefficient for string concatenation. The complete sentence ends.

Python: what are the key featuresPython: what are the key featuresMay 14, 2025 am 12:02 AM

Key features of Python include: 1. The syntax is concise and easy to understand, suitable for beginners; 2. Dynamic type system, improving development speed; 3. Rich standard library, supporting multiple tasks; 4. Strong community and ecosystem, providing extensive support; 5. Interpretation, suitable for scripting and rapid prototyping; 6. Multi-paradigm support, suitable for various programming styles.

Python: compiler or Interpreter?Python: compiler or Interpreter?May 13, 2025 am 12:10 AM

Python is an interpreted language, but it also includes the compilation process. 1) Python code is first compiled into bytecode. 2) Bytecode is interpreted and executed by Python virtual machine. 3) This hybrid mechanism makes Python both flexible and efficient, but not as fast as a fully compiled language.
