Python Basics - Beginner to Advanced

Introduction to Python

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

used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and more.

Variables and Data Types

Python supports multiple data types:

- int: Integer values (e.g., 10, -3)

- float: Floating point numbers (e.g., 3.14, -0.5)

- str: Strings of text (e.g., 'hello', "world")

- bool: Boolean values (True or False)

- list: Ordered, mutable sequence (e.g., [1, 2, 3])

- tuple: Ordered, immutable sequence (e.g., (1, 2, 3))

- dict: Key-value pairs (e.g., {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25})

- set: Unordered collection of unique items (e.g., {1, 2, 3})

Operators in Python

- Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, // (floor division), % (modulus), ** (power)

- Comparison: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=

- Logical: and, or, not

- Assignment: =, +=, -=, etc.

Control Flow

- if, elif, else:

if x > 0:

print('Positive')

elif x == 0:

print('Zero')

else:

print('Negative')

- Loops:

for i in range(5):

print(i)

while x < 5:

x += 1

Functions

Functions are blocks of reusable code:

def greet(name):

return 'Hello ' + name

Built-in functions: print(), len(), type(), input(), range(), int(), float(), str()

Data Structures

- List Methods: append(), remove(), pop(), sort(), reverse()

- String Methods: upper(), lower(), strip(), split(), replace()

- Dictionary Methods: keys(), values(), items(), get(), update()

- Set Methods: add(), remove(), union(), intersection()

Exception Handling

try:

result = 10 / 0

except ZeroDivisionError:

print('Cannot divide by zero')

Modules and Imports

You can use built-in and external modules:

import math

print(math.sqrt(16))

File Handling

Reading a file:

with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:

data = f.read()

Writing to a file:

with open('file.txt', 'w') as f:

f.write('Hello, world!')

Indentation in Python

Indentation is crucial in Python. Code blocks are defined by their indentation:

def add(a, b):

return a + b

if a > b:

print('A is greater')
