Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. It is known


for its readability, ease of use, and versatility. Python is used in a wide range
of applications, including web development, data science, machine learning,
and scientific computing.
Python Syntax and Data Types
Python's syntax is designed to be simple and straightforward. It uses indentation to define code blocks. Python supports various
data types such as integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets.

Numbers Booleans Sequences


1 2 3
Integers are whole numbers, floats Booleans represent truth values, Lists and tuples are ordered
are decimal numbers, and complex True or False. collections of elements, while
numbers have real and imaginary strings are immutable sequences
parts. of characters.

Mappings
4
Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs.
Control Structures and Loops
Control structures like if-else statements and loops allow us to control the flow of
execution in our programs. Python offers for loops, while loops, and nested loops for
iterating over sequences of data.

Conditional Statements
1
Conditional statements, such as if-elif-else, allow the program to
make decisions based on specific conditions.

Loops
2
Loops are used to repeatedly execute a block of code, either a fixed
number of times or until a specific condition is met.

Nested Loops
3
Nested loops allow you to iterate through multiple sequences of data
in a controlled way.
Functions and Modules
Functions allow you to organize and reuse code, improving code readability and maintainability. Modules provide a way to organize
and share code in larger projects.

Functions Modules
Functions are blocks of reusable code that perform specific Modules are collections of functions, classes, and variables
tasks. They take inputs (arguments) and return outputs. that provide specific functionalities. They are organized into
files with the .py extension and can be imported into other
scripts.
Object-Oriented Programming in Python
• Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a paradigm that focuses on objects and their interactions.
• Python supports OOP concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation.

Classes Objects
Classes are blueprints for creating objects. They define the attributes Objects are instances of classes. They have their own state (attributes)
and methods that an object will have. and behavior (methods).

Inheritance Polymorphism
Inheritance allows one class to inherit attributes and methods from Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated in a
another class. similar manner.
File I/O and Handling
File I/O allows your programs to interact with files on the file system. You can read
data from files, write data to files, and perform various operations on files.

Opening Files
You can use the open() function to open files in different modes, such
as read, write, or append.

Reading and Writing


Once a file is open, you can read data from it using methods like
read() or readline(), or write data to it using methods like write() or
writelines().

Closing Files
It is important to close files after you are finished using them using
the close() method.
Python Libraries and Frameworks
Python has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks that provide ready-made
solutions for various tasks. These libraries and frameworks simplify development and
allow you to build complex applications efficiently.
