Introduction: Python, a high-level and versatile programming language renowned for its
readability, simplicity, and extensive libraries, has garnered significant popularity. In this
introductory overview, we'll delve into fundamental concepts that underpin Python
programming.

Variables
• Acting as symbolic containers for data storage, variables are declared using meaningful names
and assigned values.
For instance:

x = “Sadia”
y = 15
print(x)
print(y)

Variables in Python do not require declaration with specific types and can dynamically change
types even after initialization.
Data Types
Python offers support for a variety of data types:
 Integers: Represent whole numbers (77, -70)
 Floats: Represent decimal numbers (3.1416, -0.89)
 Strings: Represent sequences of characters ("Hello, programmers!")
 Lists: Represent ordered collections ([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
 Tuples: Represent immutable ordered collections (10, 20, 30)
 Dictionaries: Represent key-value pairs ({"name": "Sadia", "age": 21})

Loops and Control Statements

•For Loop: Iterates over a sequence (such as a list, tuple, string, etc.).
Example:
k = ["Harry", "Hermione", "Ron"]
for i in k:
print(i)

•While Loop: Executes a block of code as long as a condition remains true.

Example:
count = 0
while (count < 5):
count = count + 1
print("Harry Potter")

4. Lists
Lists facilitate the dynamic storage of multiple elements.
Common operations involve indexing, slicing, and appending.
For example:
departments = ["CSE", "BBA", "EEE, CE, ME, English"]
print(departments)
5. Strings
Strings represent text and are enclosed within quotes (single, double, or triple).
They support various operations such as concatenation and slicing.
For example:
product_name = "Smartphone"
product_price = 699
description = "The {} costs ${}"
formatted_description = description.format(product_name, product_price)
print(formatted_description)

6. If-Else -Elif Statements

If-else statements enable decision-making within our code.
They facilitate the execution of distinct code blocks depending on specified conditions.
For example:
i = 50
if (i == 25):
print("i is 25")
elif (i == 30):
print("i is 30")
elif (i == 50):
print("i is 50")
else:
print("i is not present")

Problems:
1. Determine whether a number is an Armstrong number.
2. Determine whether a number is Strong or Weak.
3. Check whether a string is a palindrome or not.
4. Perform Matrix Multiplication.

Conclusion:
During this lab, I delved into fundamental concepts of Python programming. Beginning with the
basics such as data types, variables, and basic operations, I progressed to exploring control flow
structures like conditionals and loops, essential for decision-making and task repetition.
Furthermore, I gained insight into functions, which facilitate the organization of code into
reusable blocks, enhancing code efficiency and structure.
Engaging in practical problem-solving exercises, I applied these foundational concepts to various
challenges, including palindrome checks, matrix operations, and more. This hands-on approach
solidified my understanding of Python programming, equipping me with the necessary skills to
confidently tackle diverse coding tasks.
Overall, this lab provided a robust foundation in Python programming, empowering me to
approach coding endeavors with competence and proficiency.
