# Introduction to Python

## What is Python?
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its
readability and simplicity. It is widely used in various fields such as web
development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing,
and more.

## Setting Up Python
1. **Download Python:** Go to the [official Python
website](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and download the latest version
of Python.
2. **Install Python:** Follow the installation instructions for your
operating system.
3. **IDE:** Install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like
PyCharm, VSCode, or use the built-in IDLE.

## Running Your First Python Program

1. Open your IDE or text editor.
2. Create a new file named `hello_world.py`.
3. Add the following code:

```python
print("Hello, World!")
```

4. Save the file and run it. You should see the output `Hello, World!`.

2. Basic Syntax and Data Types (basic_syntax.md)

# Basic Syntax and Data Types

## Variables and Data Types

- **Integers:** Whole numbers (e.g., `5`, `42`)
- **Floats:** Decimal numbers (e.g., `3.14`, `0.99`)
- **Strings:** Text (e.g., `"Hello, World!"`, `'Python'`)
- **Booleans:** True or False values

## Basic Operations
```python
# Integer operations
a = 5
b = 3
print(a + b) # Addition
print(a - b) # Subtraction

# String operations
text = "Hello"
print(text * 3) # Repeating a string
# Boolean operations
print(True and False) # Logical AND
print(not True) # Logical NOT

Comments
Use # for single-line comments and """ or ''' for multi-line comments.

elif x == 5:
print("x is 5")
else:
print("x is less than 5")

Loops
For Loop
python
Copy code
for i in range(5):
print(i) # Prints numbers 0 to 4

While Loop
python
Copy code
count = 0
while count < 5:
print(count)
count += 1 # Increment count

```markdown
# Functions

## Defining Functions
```python
def greet(name):
"""Display a greeting message."""
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("Alice") # Calls the function with "Alice"

Function Parameters
python
Copy code
def add(a, b=0):
"""Add two numbers. The second number is optional."""
return a + b

print(add(5)) # Output: 5
print(add(5, 10)) # Output: 15

### **5. Data Structures (data_structures.md)**

```markdown
# Data Structures

## Lists
```python
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
my_list.append(6) # Add an element
print(my_list[2]) # Access element at index 2

Dictionaries
python
Copy code
my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}
print(my_dict["name"]) # Access value by key
my_dict["age"] = 31 # Update value

Tuples
python
Copy code
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3)
print(my_tuple[1]) # Access element

Sets
python
Copy code
my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4}
my_set.add(5) # Add an element

with open('file.txt', 'r') as file:
content = file.read()
print(content)

Writing to Files
python
Copy code
with open('file.txt', 'w') as file:
file.write("Hello, World!")

result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
 print("You can't divide by zero!")

Finally Block
python
Copy code
try:
file = open('file.txt', 'r')
finally:
file.close() # Ensures file is closed whether an error occurred or not

def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

def bark(self):
print(f"{self.name} says Woof!")

my_dog = Dog("Buddy")
my_dog.bark() # Output: Buddy says Woof!

Inheritance

class Animal:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

def speak(self):
pass

class Cat(Animal):
def speak(self):
print(f"{self.name} says Meow!")

my_cat = Cat("Whiskers")
my_cat.speak() # Output: Whiskers says Meow!

```markdown
# Modules and Packages

## Importing Modules
```python
import math
print(math.sqrt(16)) # Output: 4.0

Creating Your Own Module

1. Create a file named my_module.py with the following content:

python
Copy code
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"

2. Import and use the module:

python
Copy code
import my_module
print(my_module.greet("Alice"))
