Basic Python Programming
Overview:
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity
and readability. It is widely used in web development, data analysis, machine
learning, and automation.
Key Concepts:
Variables: Used to store data values. Example: x = 5 stores the integer 5 in the
variable x.
Data Types: Common types include integers (int), floating-point numbers (float),
strings (str), and lists (list).
Functions: A block of code that performs a specific task. Example:
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
greet("Alice")
Loops: Used to repeat a block of code. Example:
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Conditionals: Allow the program to make decisions. Example:
if x > 10:
print("Greater than 10")
else:
print("10 or less")
Basic Syntax:
Python uses indentation to define code blocks.
Statements are usually terminated by newlines, not semicolons.
