IDEs: PyCharm, Jupyter Notebook, VS Code
Basic Syntax
1 # This is a comment
2 print("Hello, World!") # Print statement
Output: Hello, World!
Data Types: Strings
Text data is stored as strings.
1 name = "Alice"
2 print(name)
Output: Alice
Data Types: Integers
Whole numbers are integers.
1 age = 25
2 print(age)
Output: 25
Data Types: Floats
Decimal numbers are floats.
1 height = 5.5
2 print(height)
Output: 5.5
Variables
Variables store data values.
1 x = 10
2 y = 5
3 result = x + y
4 print(result)
Output: 15
Basic Arithmetic Operations
Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division
1 a = 8
2 b = 4
3 sum = a + b
4 product = a * b
Outputting Results
Using print() to display results.
1 print("Sum:", sum)
2 print("Product:", product)
Output:
Sum: 12
Product: 32

2 print(my_dict[’name’])
Output: Alice
