Introduction to Python Programming

Language

1. Why Learn Python?


Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by
Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python's design philosophy emphasizes
code readability with its notable use of significant whitespace.
Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write
clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.

2. Variables and Data Types


In Python, variables are created when you assign a value to them. Python has various
standard data types used to store data:
 Integers and Floats: Used for numbers (e.g., x = 5, y = 3.14).
 Strings: Used for textual data (e.g., name = 'Alice').
 Lists: Ordered, mutable collections of items (e.g., fruits = ['apple', 'banana']).

3. Basic Control Flow


Control flow determines the order in which code execution takes place.
Conditional statements (if, elif, else) allow decisions to be made based on conditions,
while loops (for, while) allow code blocks to be repeated efficiently.
