Introduction to Python

Programming

By Aparna Samantaray
What is Python?

• Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language.

• Created by Guido van Rossum in 1989.

• Known for its simple syntax and readability.

• Widely used in web development, data science, automation,


and more.
C vs Java vs Python
C Java
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) { for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
printf("%d\n", i); System.out.println(i);
} }

Python
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Key Features of Python
• Easy to Learn and Use: Simple, human-readable syntax.

• Interpreted Language: No need for compilation, runs


directly from source code.

• Versatile: Can be used for web development, automation,


data analysis, etc.

• Open Source: Free to use and has a large supportive


community.

• Extensive Libraries: Includes libraries like NumPy,


Pandas, Flask, Django.
Python Syntax Basics
• Indentation: Python uses indentation (whitespace) to
define code blocks.

Example of indentation in Python


def greet(name):
if name:
print("Hello, " + name + "!")
else:
print("Hello, World!")
names = ["Alice", "Bob", None, "Charlie"]
for name in names:
greet(name) # This line is inside the for loop
Python Variables and Data Types
• Variables: Containers for storing data values.

• Data Types: Integer (int), Float (float), String (str), List,


Tuple, Dictionary, etc.
Example:
age = 25
height = 5.9
name = "John"
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
coordinates = (10, 20)
person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25, "city": "New York"}
Python Control Structures…

• Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)

• Loops: for and while loops to repeat code.


Example:
# Example using if, elif, and else
age = 18
if age >= 18:
print("You are an adult.")
elif age >= 13: Output:
print("You are a teenager.") You are an adult
else:
print("You are a child.")
# Example of for loop Output:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] apple
for fruit in fruits: banana
print(fruit) cherry

# Example of while loop


Output:
counter = 0
Counter is: 0
while counter < 3: Counter is: 1
print("Counter is:", counter) Counter is: 2
counter += 1
Functions in Python

• Functions allow you to organize code into reusable blocks.

• Defined using the def keyword.

Example:
def greet(name):
return "Hello " + name
print(greet("Alice"))

Output:
Hello Alice
Python Lists and Loops

• Lists: Store multiple items in a single variable.

Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for fruit in fruits:
print(fruit)

Output:
apple
banana
cherry
Python Libraries and Modules

• Libraries: Pre-written code that can be used to perform


common tasks.

• Modules: Python files containing related functions and


variables.

Example:

import math

print(math.sqrt(16)) Output: 4.0
