Python Programming

A Beginner's Complete Introduction

What is Python?
Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language known for its clear syntax and
readability. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python has grown to
become one of the world's most popular programming languages, used in web development,
data science, artificial intelligence, automation, and scientific computing.

Your First Python Program


The classic first program in any language is "Hello, World!". In Python, this is refreshingly
simple:

print("Hello, World!")

Variables and Data Types


Python is dynamically typed, meaning you don't need to declare variable types explicitly.
Python will infer the type from the value you assign:

name = "Alice" # String age = 30 # Integer height = 1.75 # Float


is_student = True # Boolean scores = [95, 87, 92] # List

Control Flow
Python uses indentation (spaces) to define code blocks:

if age >= 18: print("Adult") elif age >= 13: print("Teenager") else:
print("Child")

Loops
for i in range(5): print(f"Number: {i}") # While loop count = 0 while
count < 3: print(count) count += 1

Functions
Functions let you organize and reuse code:
def greet(name, greeting="Hello"): return f"{greeting}, {name}!"
print(greet("Bob")) # Hello, Bob! print(greet("Alice", "Hi")) # Hi,
Alice!
