Introduction to Python

● What is Python?
○ High-level, interpreted programming language.
○ Created by Guido van Rossum, first released in 1991.
○ Emphasizes readability and simplicity.
● Why Python?
○ Easy to learn and use.
○ Versatile: Web development, data science, AI, automation, etc.
○ Strong community support and extensive libraries.
Python Syntax and Basics

Basic Syntax: Code structure relies on indentation.No need for semicolons or curly braces.

Variables and Data Types:

● Variables are dynamically typed.


● Common data types: int, float, str, list, dict, tuple, bool.

Example Code:

name = "Alice"

age = 25

print(f"{name} is {age} years old.")


Control Flow in Python

● Conditional Statements:
○ if, elif, else.
● Loops:
○ for loops for iterating over sequences.
○ while loops for repeated execution.

Example Code:

for i in range(5):

print(i)

if age > 18:

print("Adult")
Functions in Python

● Defining Functions:
○ Functions are defined using the def keyword.
○ Can take arguments and return values.

● Example Code:

def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"

print(greet("Alice"))
Working with Modules

● What are Modules?


○ Reusable pieces of code organized into files.
○ Can be imported into other Python scripts.
● Importing Modules:
○ import module_name
○ from module_name import function_name

Example:

import math

print(math.sqrt(16))
Python in Action

● Applications of Python:
○ Web Development: Frameworks like Django, Flask.
○ Data Science: Libraries like Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib.
○ Automation: Scripting tasks, file handling.
○ Artificial Intelligence: TensorFlow, PyTorch for machine learning.

Simple Automation Example:


import os

def list_files(directory):

return os.listdir(directory)

print(list_files("."))
Conclusion and Q&A

● Summary:
○ Python is versatile, easy to learn, and widely used.
○ Basic understanding of syntax, control flow, functions, and modules.
○ Python's applications range across various domains.
● Call to Action:
○ Encourage further exploration and practice.
● Questions:
○ Open the floor for questions and discussion.
