A Repository of My Early Projects using Python

Project Overview

This repository showcases various Python projects I've worked on to strengthen my understanding of Python syntax, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and data structures. The projects range from building simple calculators to more advanced applications, such as a bank account management system. Below is an organized summary of these projects.

Tool

• Jupyter Notebook - For its interactive environment, which allowed me to easily test, debug, and document my projects.

Project Highlights

1. Pizza Order Program:

This project focuses on mastering Python's basic syntax, particularly user interaction through input/output functions.

Features:

• Asks customers for their pizza preferences (e.g., size, toppings).
• Calculates the total cost based on the selected options.
• Provides a summary of the order.

Key Concepts:

• Conditional statements (if-elif-else)
• Loops
• Handling user input with input()

2. Simple Calculator:

This project involves building a basic calculator to perform arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Features:

• Takes two numbers as input.
• Performs the selected arithmetic operation.
• Displays the result.

Key Concepts:

• Function creation and usage (def)
• Arithmetic operators
• Return statements

3a. Bank Account:

This project demonstrates how to use OOP principles to simulate bank account management.

Features:

• Create a bank account with an initial balance.
• Deposit and withdraw funds.
• Check account balance.

Key Concepts:

• Classes and objects
• Constructors (init)
• Encapsulation (private and public methods)

3b. Advanced Calculator:

An extension of the basic calculator using OOP principles, offering advanced functionalities.

Features:

• Handles multiple arithmetic operations.
• Modular design for easier expansion of functionalities.
• Supports advanced calculations like power and square root.

Key Concepts:

• Class-based design
• Inheritance
• Method overloading

4. Shopping List Program:

This project utilizes Python's data structures, specifically lists, to create a shopping list manager.

Features:

• Add, remove, and view items in the shopping list.
• Displays the current shopping list.
• Option to clear the entire list.

Key Concepts:

• List operations (append(), remove(), clear())
• Looping through lists
• Managing user inputs

Conclusion

These projects helped me gain hands-on experience with Python's syntax, functions, OOP, and data structures. Each project builds on the previous one, progressively increasing in complexity. Feel free to explore the code and provide feedback.
