Practical Python Lessons for Beginners

Lesson 1: Getting Started - Hello World


Objective: Learn how to write and run your first Python program.

Task: Write a program that prints 'Hello, Python World!'.

Code:
print('Hello, Python World!')

Lesson 2: Variables and User Input


Objective: Practice using variables and taking input from the user.

Task: Ask the user for their name and age, then print a greeting.

Code:
name = input('What is your name? ')
age = input('How old are you? ')
print('Hello', name, '! You are', age, 'years old.')

Lesson 3: Calculator Using Arithmetic Operators


Objective: Perform basic arithmetic operations.

Task: Create a simple calculator that adds, subtracts, multiplies, and divides two numbers.

Code:
a = float(input('Enter first number: '))
b = float(input('Enter second number: '))
print('Sum:', a + b)
print('Difference:', a - b)
print('Product:', a * b)
print('Quotient:', a / b)

Lesson 4: Conditional Statements


Objective: Use if-else statements to make decisions.

Task: Write a program that checks if a number is even or odd.

Code:
num = int(input('Enter a number: '))
if num % 2 == 0:
print('Even')
else:
print('Odd')

Lesson 5: Loops - Guess the Number Game


Objective: Use loops and logic.

Task: User has to guess a number between 1 and 10. Give feedback.

Code:
import random
guess = 0
number = random.randint(1, 10)
while guess != number:
guess = int(input('Guess the number (1-10): '))
if guess < number:
print('Too low!')
elif guess > number:
print('Too high!')
else:
print('Correct!')

Lesson 6: Lists and Loops


Objective: Practice storing and looping through data.

Task: Store 5 student names and print them using a loop.

Code:
students = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Cathy', 'David', 'Eve']
for student in students:
print('Student:', student)

Lesson 7: File Writing and Reading


Objective: Learn to save and read from files.

Task: Ask the user for a message, save it, then read it back.

Code:
msg = input('Write a message to save: ')
with open('message.txt', 'w') as file:
file.write(msg)

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


print('Saved message:', file.read())

Lesson 8: Build a To-Do List App (CLI)


Objective: Use lists, loops, and file handling in a project.

Task: Create a simple command-line to-do list.

Code:
# Add tasks
tasks = []
while True:
task = input('Enter a task (or type done): ')
if task.lower() == 'done':
break
tasks.append(task)

# Save tasks
with open('todo.txt', 'w') as file:
for task in tasks:
file.write(task + '\n')

# Read tasks
print('Your To-Do List:')
with open('todo.txt', 'r') as file:
for line in file:
print('-', line.strip())
