Step 1: Python Basics – Variables, Data Types, and

Printing
Variables store values in memory. Python doesn’t need explicit type declarations.
# Integer
age = 25

# Float
price = 19.99

# String
name = "Syed"

# Boolean
is_coding = True

print("Name:", name)
print("Age:", age)
print("Price:", price)
print("Is Coding?", is_coding)

Output:
Name: Syed
Age: 25
Price: 19.99
Is Coding? True

Step 2: Input and Type Casting


Amazon-style coding problems will often need you to read input from the user and
process it.
# Reading input as a string
name = input("Enter your name: ")

# Reading input as integer


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

# Reading multiple inputs in one line


a, b = map(int, input("Enter two numbers: ").split())

print("Hello", name)
print("Sum of numbers:", a + b)

Example Input:
Syed
22
4 5
Output:
Hello Syed
Sum of numbers: 9

Step 3: Conditional Statements


We use if, elif, else to make decisions.
n = int(input("Enter a number: "))

if n > 0:
print("Positive number")
elif n < 0:
print("Negative number")
else:
print("Zero")

Example Input:
5

Output:
Positive number

Step 4: Loops (for & while)


Used to repeat code blocks.
# For loop (range)
for i in range(1, 6):
print("Number:", i)

# While loop
count = 1
while count <= 5:
print("Count:", count)
count += 1

Output:
Number: 1
Number: 2
Number: 3
Number: 4
Number: 5
Count: 1
Count: 2
Count: 3
Count: 4
Count: 5

Step 5: Lists and Their Operations


Lists store multiple values and are mutable.
numbers = [10, 20, 30, 40]

# Access elements
print(numbers[0]) # First element

# Modify element
numbers[1] = 25

# Append element
[Link](50)

# Iterate
for num in numbers:
print(num)

Output:
10
25
30
40
50

Step 6: Functions
Functions help organize reusable code.
def add(a, b):
return a + b

result = add(5, 7)
print("Sum is:", result)

Output:
Sum is: 12

Step 7: String Operations


String manipulation is very common in Amazon problems.
text = "amazon"

print([Link]()) # AMAZON
print(text[::-1]) # nozamA (reverse)
print([Link]("a")) # 2
print([Link]("a", "@")) # @m@zon

Step 8: Dictionary Basics


Dictionaries store key-value pairs.
student = {"name": "Syed", "age": 22, "skills": ["Python", "DSA"]}

print(student["name"]) # Access value


student["age"] = 23 # Modify
student["city"] = "Bangalore" # Add new key-value

for key, value in [Link]():


print(key, ":", value)

Output:
name : Syed
age : 23
skills : ['Python', 'DSA']
city : Bangalore

Step 9: List Comprehensions


A shorter way to create lists.
squares = [x**2 for x in range(1, 6)]
print(squares)

Output:
[1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

Step 10: Problem-Solving Warm-Up Example


Let’s solve a simple Amazon-style problem.

Problem:
Given a list of numbers, find the sum of all even numbers.
n = int(input("Enter number of elements: "))
nums = list(map(int, input("Enter numbers: ").split()))
even_sum = sum([x for x in nums if x % 2 == 0])

print("Sum of even numbers:", even_sum)

Example Input:

5
1 2 3 4 5

Output:
Sum of even numbers: 6
