 To get the desired output from the computer, you give some instructions to it. A set of
instructions called the programs. In simple words, a program is a sequence of instructions
that specifies how to perform a computation. These programs help a computer to perform:
wide range of tasks.

There are some specific computer languages, which are used to write programs. Some of the
popular examples of programming languages are Python, C, C++, LISP, Pascal, Java, PHP, etc.
In this chapter. you will learn the basics of the
Python programming language.
Python
Python is a simple programming language. It is used to write codes for
the computer programs. Python was created by
Guido van Rossum
when he was working at Centrum Wiskunde &
which isa National Research Institute for
Informatica (CWI),
Science in Netherlands. The language wasMathematics

Features of Python
Some of the features that make Python so
popular are as follows:

ynon is a case-sensitive programing language. It means that Python
differentiates between
capital and small letters. For example, Print (P capital) and print (p small) are two
different
things for Python, where print is a valid command in Python, while Print is just a word
not a command. and

YOu can also pass more than one argument to the

container to store the food. Similarly, when you are need a
working with the values in Python, you
require some storage location to hold the values for later use.
Named storage locations in the
computer memory, which are used to store data are called
variables. Avariable can store only
one data value at a time. When a new
value is stored in a variable, its previous value gets
Dverwritten.

Assigning Values to Variables

Values are assigned to variables using the assignment operator (=). For example, the
statement
-25 assigns the value 25 to the variable x.

UOServe the following codes to understand the use of the assignment operators:
Variable Description
a=10 #Value 10 is assigned to the variable a.
b=20 # Value 20 is assigned to the variable
b.

(-a+b #The numbers are added and the value is assigned to the variable c, i.e., 30 is assigned
to the variable c.
the variable a. So, now the value of the variable a is
# Value 20 (30-10) is assigned to
a-c-10 20, and not 10.

Kios Cyber Quest 93

Rules to Write the Variable Names
There are certain rules in Python that have to be followed to form valid variable names. The
rules for valid identifier (variable name) are:

Avariable name must start with an alphabet (capital or small) or an undersSCore (_ ).

Avariable name can consist of letters, digits, and underscore. No other character is
allowed.
A keyword cannot be used as a variable name.
A variable name can be of any length.
Variable names are case-sensitive (e.g., Age and age are different variable names).
Examples of some valid variable names are:
Class, emp code, totsalary, minvalue, bal_ fee, agel980, a45r
Examples of some invalid variable names are:
Invalid Variable Name Reason
Employee code Space is not allowed in a variable name.
10code Variable name cannot start with a digit.
A.B.C. Ltd (.) is not allowed in a variable name.
ABCeltd Special characters are not allowed in a variable name.
else 'else' is a keyword in Python, so it cannot be used as a variable name.

NOTE,
If a variable is being used without assigning a value, i.e., if the variable is not defined, it gives an
error.

The following code gives an error because the variable x is used in the print() function without
being defined.

)Working in Script Mode
The Interactive mode is preferred for small programs, where only a few commands are to
be executed. This is because the output in the Interactive mode is compressed between the
statements and may create confusion while writing long programs.
For writing lengthy programs in Python, the Script mode is used. Using this mode, you can
create and edit Python programs. In this mode, you can also save your files so that they can
be used later. The complete script is written in an editor.

Creating Module/ Script/ Program File

To start with the Script mode for creating a module or program, follow the given steps:
Open IDLE Python Shell, i.e., the Interactive mode.

RECAP
+ Pvthon is a high-level language, used to write codes for the comnputer programs.
. Pthon was created by Guido van Rossum when he was working at Centrum Wiskunde
and Informatica (CW).
The Interactive mode is useful for testing the code where you type the commands one
at a time and get the result or error immediately.
The Script mode is Used Tor writing lengthy programs in Python.
Named storage locations in the computer memory, which are used to store data are
called variables.
The print() function Is Used to display the output of any command on the screen.
+ Python has various standard data types based on the types of values stored in the
variables.
