Python Basics Guide

1. Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It's

widely used in web development, data science, automation, and more.

2. Variables and Data Types

Variables store data. Common types: int (10), float (3.14), str ('hello'), bool (True/False), list, tuple,

dict.

3. Control Flow

Use if/elif/else for decisions. Loops: for and while. Example:

for i in range(5): print(i)

4. Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code. Define with def keyword:

def greet(name):

return 'Hello ' + name

5. Lists and Dictionaries

Lists store ordered data: [1, 2, 3]. Dicts store key-value pairs: {'name': 'Pretty', 'age': 20}

6. File Handling

Open and read/write files using open():

import math

print(math.sqrt(16))
