Python Learning Roadmap - Phase 1:

Python Basics
Introduction
Phase 1 is designed for absolute beginners who want to build a solid foundation in Python. It
covers basic concepts like variables, data types, operators, loops, functions, and more.

Lesson 1: Variables and Data Types


A variable is a name that refers to a value. It acts like a container for storing data values.

Python has several built-in data types including:

- int: Integer numbers (e.g., 10)


- float: Decimal numbers (e.g., 5.5)
- str: Strings or text (e.g., "Hello")
- bool: Boolean values (True or False)

Example:

name = "John"
age = 20
is_student = True

Lesson 2: Operators
Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values.

Types of operators:
- Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, %, **, //
- Comparison: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
- Logical: and, or, not
- Assignment: =, +=, -=, *=, etc.

Lesson 3: Conditional Statements


Conditional statements allow you to execute certain blocks of code based on conditions.

Syntax:
if condition:
# do something
elif condition:
# do something else
else:
# fallback

Lesson 4: Loops
Loops are used to repeat a block of code multiple times.

- for loop: Used to iterate over a sequence (like a list or range).


- while loop: Repeats as long as a condition is true.

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

Lesson 5: Functions
A function is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task.

Syntax:
def function_name(parameters):
# code
return value

Example:
def greet(name):
return "Hello, " + name

Lesson 6: Lists, Tuples, Sets, Dictionaries


- List: Ordered and changeable. [1, 2, 3]
- Tuple: Ordered and unchangeable. (1, 2, 3)
- Set: Unordered, no duplicates. {1, 2, 3}
- Dictionary: Key-value pairs. {'name': 'John', 'age': 20}

Lesson 7: String Manipulation


Strings in Python can be manipulated using various methods like:
- len(), upper(), lower(), strip(), replace(), split(), join()

Example:
text = " Hello World "
print(text.strip().upper())
Lesson 8: Basic Input/Output
Use input() to get user input, and print() to display output.

Example:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello", name)

Lesson 9: Exception Handling


Try-except blocks are used to handle errors gracefully.

Syntax:
try:
# risky code
except ExceptionType:
# handle error

Example:
try:
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
except ValueError:
print("Invalid input")
