Unit 1: Introduction to Python

Why Python?
●​ High-level, interpreted, easy to learn.
●​ Dynamic typing & memory management.
●​ Widely used in data science, AI, web, and automation.

➔​ Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simple


syntax, dynamic typing, and automatic memory management. It is easy to learn and
widely used in fields like data science, artificial intelligence, web development, and
automation.

Essential Python Libraries:


Library Purpose

math Math operations

random Random number generation

re Regular expressions

numpy Numerical computations (covered later)

pandas Data analysis

matplotlib, seaborn Data visualization

Data Types:
Type Example

Integer a = 10

Float pi = 3.14

String s = "hello"

Boolean flag = True


Complex z = 3 + 4j

Expressions and Operators:

Operator Type Operators Example Meaning

Arithmetic +-*/ a+b*c Addition, Subtraction,


Multiplication, Division

// % ** 10 // 3 = 3 Floor Division, Modulo


(Remainder), Power

Relational == != > < >= <= x > y, x == y Check values and relationships

Logical and or not x > 5 and y < 10 Combine multiple conditions


Assignment = += -= *= /= x += 5 (same as x = x + 5) Assign or update variable
values

Bitwise & ` ^ ~ << >>

●​ Bitwise Example
Identifiers:
●​ Variable/function names
●​ Must begin with a letter or _
●​ Cannot be Python keywords

➔​ Identifiers are names used for variables or functions. They must start with a letter or

✅ ❌
underscore and cannot be Python keywords.
➔​ Examples: name, _total Invalid: 2days, class, int, float

Reserved Words (Keywords):


●​ Reserved Words (Keywords) are special words in Python used for syntax and structure;
you cannot use them as variable names.
●​ Examples: if, else, while, for, True, False, def, import

Indentation:
●​ Indentation in Python is used to define code blocks (like inside if, for, def, etc.) and is
mandatory.

Comments:
●​ Comments in Python are used to explain code and are ignored during execution.
●​ Single-line:
○​ # This is a comment

●​ Multi-line:
○​ Use triple quotes ''' or """
