PYTHON PROGRAMMING NOTES (JSS1 – JSS3 Combined)

MODULE 1: Introduction to Programming


Programming is the process of giving instructions to a computer so that it can perform
tasks.

A computer cannot think by itself. It only follows instructions given by humans.

A programming language is a special language used to communicate with computers.

Examples include Python, Java, C++, JavaScript and Scratch.

Python is a popular programming language that is easy to learn. It is used around the world

for building websites, games, data analysis, artificial intelligence and automation.

Instruction: A command given to a computer to perform a task.

Algorithm: A step-by-step method used to solve a problem.

Example Algorithm – Preparing to go to school:

1. Wake up

2. Take a bath

3. Wear school uniform

4. Eat breakfast

5. Pack school bag

6. Go to school

MODULE 2: First Python Program


A Python program is a set of instructions written in the Python language.

Python executes instructions from top to bottom.


The print() function is used to display output on the screen.

Example:

print("Hello World")

Output:

Hello World

More examples:

print("My name is David")

print("I am learning Python")

print("Welcome to Computer Class")

Important Python rules (Syntax):

1. Python is case sensitive (print is not the same as Print).

2. Quotation marks must be closed.

3. Brackets must also be closed properly.

MODULE 3: Variables
A variable is a container used to store information in a program.

Example:

name = "John"

age = 13

Variables allow programs to remember information and use it later.


Example:

name = "Mary"

print(name)

Variable naming rules:

1. Variables should not start with numbers.

2. Variables should not contain spaces.

3. Use meaningful names such as student_name, age, score.

MODULE 4: User Input


Input refers to information entered by the user into a program.

Python uses the input() function to collect data from users.

Example:

name = input("Enter your name: ")

print("Welcome", name)

Another example:

age = input("Enter your age: ")

print("You are", age, "years old")

Input allows programs to interact with users and collect useful information.

MODULE 5: Numbers and Calculations


Python can perform mathematical calculations using arithmetic operators.

Common operators:
+ Addition

- Subtraction

* Multiplication

/ Division

Example:

a = 10

b=5

print(a + b)

print(a - b)

print(a * b)

print(a / b)

Using input with numbers:

num1 = int(input("Enter first number: "))

num2 = int(input("Enter second number: "))

print(num1 + num2)

This allows users to enter numbers and the program calculates the result.
