Getting Started with Python (Class 11 Computer

Science)
What is Python?

Python is a high-level, easy-to-learn programming language used to create applications,


websites, automation tools, data analysis programs, and more.

It is popular because:

 Simple syntax (easy to read like English)


 Fewer lines of code
 Free and open source
 Works on Windows, Mac, Linux
 Used in AI, Data Science, Web Development

Features of Python
 Interpreted Language → Runs line by line.
 Platform Independent → Same program runs on any OS.
 Dynamically Typed → No need to declare data types.
 Object-Oriented → Supports classes and objects.
 Large Library Support → Many built-in modules available.

Installing Python (Basic Idea


1. Download Python from official website.
2. Install it.
3. Open IDLE / Python Interpreter.
4. Start typing programs.

First Python Program


SOURCE CODE:
print("Hello, World!")

OUTPUT:
Hello, World!
Python as an Interpreter
Python executes code line by line, so errors are shown immediately.

Example:

print("Hi")
print("Welcome")

Tokens in Python
Tokens = Smallest units of a program.

Types:

1. Keywords
2. Identifiers
3. Literals
4. Operators
5. Punctuators

Keywords
Keywords are reserved words with special meaning.

Examples:

if, else, while, for, True, False, None, break, continue

You cannot use them as variable names.

Identifiers (Variable Names)


Identifiers are names given to variables, functions, etc.

Rules:

 Must start with letter or _


 Cannot start with number
 No spaces allowed
 Cannot use keywords
Valid:

marks
_total
name1

Invalid:

1name
my name
if

Variables
A variable is used to store data.

x = 10
name = "Rahul"

No need to declare type!

Data Types in Python


Data Type Example
int 10
float 5.5
str "Hello"
bool True

Example:

a = 5
b = 2.5
c = "Python"
d = True

Taking Input from User


name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(name)

input() always takes string input.


Type Conversion (Casting)
Convert one type into another:

age = int(input("Enter age: "))


Function Use
int() Convert to integer
float() Convert to decimal
str() Convert to string

Operators in Python
Arithmetic Operators
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
// Floor Division
% Modulus
** Power

Example:

a = 10
b = 3
print(a + b)
print(a % b)

Writing Comments
Comments are notes ignored by Python.

# This is a comment

Used to explain code.


Simple Python Program (Example)
Program to Find Sum of Two Numbers
a = int(input("Enter first number: "))
b = int(input("Enter second number: "))

sum = a + b

print("Sum =", sum)

Errors in Python
Error Meaning
Syntax Error Wrong format
Runtime Error Happens during execution
Logical Error Wrong output

Python Statements & Indentation


Python uses indentation (spaces) instead of { }.

Example:

if 5 > 2:
print("Five is greater")

Indentation is very important in Python
