Sixth Lesson
Principles of python

Definition of python

Python programing language was released in 1991 (first version).

Python Features

Features
 Open source ----- Free and open source

Interpreted language------translates programming code line by line. Programmers can

quickly find errors in the code.

Versatility------web application – data science – AI – machine learning – game

programming.

Easy to use ------one of the easiest programming language for beginners because its
simple and organized uses English words.

Libraries-----python uses many libraries they are pre-built codes and functions that
help programmers perform specific tasks without having to write codes from scratch,
libraries are a powerful tool that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of
programming using Python, as they provide ready-made solutions to many common
problems or requirements. such as

Python libraries

NumPy Panda Matplotlib

Data Data Data Charts

Statistics AI Graphs
science Analysis Processing Creation Creation

How to download the program from the official website

1. Visit the official Python website www.python.org

10. Pandas: A library for analyzing and processing data.

Download Python from the official website and arrange the following steps in the
correct order.

1- You must choose 64bit or 32bit, depending on your device specifications.

2- Visit the official Python website www.python.org

3- Choose the system you are working on (Windows, Mac, or Linux).

4- After downloading, install the program on your device and follow the instructions.

5- Choose "Downloads"

Seventh Lesson
Variables in python

Variables in programming languages

A reserved place in memory to store and save a specific value, where the value can change

example: Taher= 20

A variable named (Taher)

Its value is equal to (20),

Where you can change the value of the variable while dealing with the program
immediately during the execution of the program.

Conditions for naming variables in Python

1. The variable name begins with a letter or an underscore.

2. The change name contains letters (A-Z) or numbers or an underscore.

3. Reserved words may not be used in Python because they express specific values that
the program understands

Example:

(False) A reserved word within the program is a word that indicates a reserved value
(logical value).

Note : When writing a variable name, you must take into account placing the variable
names in upper and lowercase letters

TAHER, Taher, taher, TaheR

In the previous example, the variable names refer to four variables and not one variable.

 Types of variables in Python

1. Numbers: Used to store numerical values such as integers (int) and decimals (float).

Integer variables: X= 5
(int) Y= 10
Decimal variables: Z= 5.25
(float) A= 8.32
2. Strings: Used to store texts such as names and addresses.

Texts are placed between single quotes ‘ ’ or double quotes “ ”

Textual variable: Name = “Taher”

( String ) City = ‘Cairo’
3. Booleans: A data type that contains only two values True or False often used in
comparisons and decision making in codes

Boolean variables: Is_taher_student = False

Is_taher_a_teacher = True

Type ( )function To know the type of the variable

The print function ( ) in Python is one of the most commonly used functions, used to
display text or values on the output screen.

It can be used to display text, variables, or even the results of mathematical operations.

Note: The interactive Python interface is installed when you install the Python language,
and there is no need to download it, unlike a text editor that must be downloaded from the
Internet, such as Visual Studio and PyCharm.
