Python code important topic

Lesson 1: Introduction to Python

Python is beginner-friendly, readable, and widely used in web, data science, automation, and
more.

Code is written in plain text, executed line-by-line.

Example:

print("Hello, world!")

Lesson 2: Output & Print

Statement

Use print() to display output.

You can print text, numbers, and do basic math inside print.

print("Hi")

print(2 + 3)

print("Age:", 12)

Lesson 3: Strings & Numbers

Strings are text in quotes: "Hello", 'World'.

Numbers: Integers (5) and Floats (3.14).

Concatenation:

print("Hello " + "world")

Use * to repeat strings: "Hi" * 3 "HiHiHi" ←

Lesson 4: Variables
Store values with =.

name = "L"

age = 13

Variable names: letters, numbers, underscores no spaces or starting with numbers.

Lesson 5: Input & Type Conversion

input() gets user input (always as a string).

name = input("What's your name?")

Convert input:

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

Lesson 6: Basic Math Operations

+, -, *, /, ** (exponent), %

(modulus), // (floor division).

print(10 // 3) #

←3

print(2** 3) # 8 ←

Lesson 7: Strings Continued

Use \n for newline, \t for tab.

String methods:

print("hello".upper()) # HELLO

print("Hi".lower())
print("abc".replace("a", "z"))

Lesson 8: Comments

Use # for single-line comments.

Use or for multi-line comments.

# This is a comment

'''This is a multi-line comment''’

Lesson 9: Booleans &

Comparisons

Boolean values: True, False

Comparisons:

==, !=, >, <, >=, <=

●​ Example:

print(5 > 2) # ← True

A piece of text is called a string

Strings require quotation marks

The print() statement is used to send a value to the screen

You can add comments to your code with the hash symbol #

Python is a case-sensitive language

Snake case is the best practice

when creating multi-word variable names


computers store and process different data types differently

string is the data type for text

integer and float are data types for numbers

inputs and outputs help

machines communicate with the outside world

the input() instruction allows the user to enter a value into your program

the print() instruction is used to generate an output

Numerical values can be stored in variables

You can access the value stored in a variable by calling its name

Numerical data should not be surrounded by quotation marks

You can run calculations using the values stored in variables

You can store the result of a calculation in a variable

Updating the value of a variable is called reassigning a variable

Spaces are not allowed in variable names

A variable name cannot start with a number

Best practices can help you avoid errors

Errors in code are known as bugs

Code is executed line by line from top to bottom

Code execution is interrupted by bugs

the type() instruction is used to check the data type

the division of two integers always produces a float


Notes

Computer programs use

variables to remember important information

A variable has a name and a value

You can create a variable by connecting the name and the value with an equal sign =

humans use code to give instructions to machines

the print() instruction displays a message on the screen

you can use explicit data type conversions to avoid bugs in your programs

int() ensures that the user input is treated as an integer number

str() can help you concatenate numbers with text
