Welcome to Python Programming
Python is HLL, versatile, and general-purpose
programming language. Known for its readability
and ease of use.
It was developed by Guido Van Rossum in 1991.
• Python IDLE

• VS Code

Writing your first code:
print(“Hello, World”)
The print function prints the message to the screen.
Why to choose Python?
• Simple and Easy to learn
• Cross-Platform
• Versatility
• Interpreted
• Dynamic Typing
• Support OOPs, POPs Functional programming
• Extensive Standard Library
Drawback: Not the fastest language
Two ways to write code:
Interactive Mode Scriptive Mode
or REPL
Tokens: The smallest fundamental unit of the
program.
def divide_two_numbers(a, b):
if b == 0:
print(“Zero Division Error”)
else: print(a/b)

Keywords: Reserved words having special meaning
to the language compiler.
False await else import pass
None break except in raise
True class finally is return
and continue for lambda try
as def from nonlocal while
assert del global not with
async elif if or yield
Identifiers: User-defined names given to
different parts of the program.
Rules for writing Identifiers:
• Can contain numbers, alphabets, or underscores (_)
• Must start with an alphabet or underscore.
• Must not be any keyword.
• Except underscore no special symbol is allowed.
Literals: Represents the fixed value of
different data types also called constants.
For Example:
Types of Literals:
• String Literals
• Numeric literals
• Floating Literals
• Complex Literals
• Special Literals (None)
Punctuators: Special Symbols that help you
define the structure and syntax of your code.
Operators: Symbols that operate on values.
Types of operators:
• Unary & Binary
• Arithmetic operator
• Relational Operators
• Logical operator
• Bitwise operator
• Identity operator
• Member Operator
• shift operator
Precedence: order of execution of operator
Associativity: order of execution of same
precedence operator
Operator Associativity
() Highest
** Right to Left
+, -, X (unary) Left to Right
*, /, //, % Left to Right
+, - Left to Right
<<, >> Left to Right
& Left to Right
^ Left to Right
~ Left to Right
=, Is, is not, in, not in, <, <=, >, >=, ==, !=. Left to Right
Not x Left to Right
And Left to Right
Or Left to Right
If else Left to Right
Lambda Left to Right
=, +=, -=, *=, /= //= ,%= Lowest
