Python (Notes)
1. Introduction to Python:
• Python is an interpreted, high-level programming language known for its easy-to-read
syntax.
• Widely used for web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, automation, and
scientific computing.
2. Python Basics:
• Python uses indentation to define code blocks instead of curly braces {}.
• It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, and
functional programming.
3. Control Flow:
• Conditionals: Python uses if, elif, and else for decision-making.
if x > 5:
print("x is greater than 5")
• Loops: Python has for and while loops.
for i in range(5):
print(i)
4. Functions:
• Functions are defined with def and can accept parameters.
• They can return values using return.
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"
5. Python Libraries:
• Numpy: Used for numerical computations and working with arrays.
• Pandas: Used for data manipulation and analysis.
• Matplotlib: For plotting data and creating visualizations.
• Flask/Django: Web frameworks for building dynamic web applications.
