Introduction to Python

CS001L.Module 2
First Term 2021 -2022
Learning For this module, learners will be
Objective introduced to the python
programming language and its
IDE.
Implement the basic structure and
essential elements of a particular
Python code.
PYTHON Python laid its foundation in the
late 1980s. The implementation of
HISTORY Python was started in December
1989 by Guido Van Rossum at
Centrum Wiskunde &
Informatica ( CWI ) is the
national research institute for
mathematics and computer science
in the Netherlands.
 In February 1991, Guido Van Rossum
PYTHON published the code (labeled version 0.9.0) to
HISTORY alt.sources. However, Guido Van Rossum
was reading the script of a popular BBC
comedy series "Monty Python's Flying
Circus". It was late on-air 1970s. Van
Rossum wanted to select a name which
unique, sort, and little-bit mysterious. So he
decided to select naming Python after the
"Monty Python's Flying Circus" for their
newly created programming language.
PYTHON ABC programming language is said
HISTORY to be the predecessor of Python
language, which was capable of
Exception Handling and interfacing
with the Amoeba Operating System.
Moreover, Modula-3 is the other
programming languages influence
Python.

Python
• Discuss Concepts with
• Make it Clear Why We Want Other
to Learn
• Do small Projects
• Learn the Basic Syntax
• Teach Others
• Write Code by Own
• Explore Libraries and
• Keep Practicing Frameworks

First PYTHON Program
BASIC SYNTAX
Python provides us the two ways to run a program:
Interactive Interpreter Prompt Script File(Script Mode Programming)
Basic Syntax 1.def func():  
2.       statement 1  
There is no use of curly braces
or semicolon in Python
programming language. It is 3.       statement 2  
English-like language. But
Python uses the indentation to 4.       …………………  
define a block of code.
Indentation is nothing but 5.       …………………  
adding whitespace before the
statement when it is needed. 6.         statement N  
 FIRST PYTHON PROGRAM
JAVA PROGRAM PYTHON PROGRAM

1. public class HelloWorld {  
2. public static void main(String[] args){  
3.// Prints "Hello, World" to the terminal
print("Hello World") 
 window.    
4.  System.out.println("Hello World");  
5. }  
6. }  
Python The print() function displays the
print( ) given object to the standard output
device (screen) or to the text stream
Function file.

Python print() function is most unique

and versatile function.
Python Syntax : print( ) function
print( ) print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False) 
Function Wherein:
objects - An object is nothing but a statement that to be printed. The * sign
represents that there can be multiple statements.
sep - The sep parameter separates the print values. Default values is ' '.
end - The end is printed at last in the statement.
file - It must be an object with a write(string) method.
flush - The stream or file is forcibly flushed if it is true. By default, its
value is false. 
 Example : print( ) Function
Example -1 Example - 2: Using sep and end argument
print("Welcome to Python.")   a = 10  
a = 10   print("a =", a, sep='dddd', end='\n\n\n')  
# Two objects are passed in print() functio print("a =", a, sep='0', end='$$$$$')  
n  
print("a =", a)  
  
b = a  
# Three objects are passed in print functio
n  
print('a =', a, '= b')  
Python Python provides the input() function which is
input( ) used to take input from the user.
Function Syntax : input()

Example :
name = input("Enter a name of student:")  
print("The student name is: ", name)
