Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It

was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. Python emphasizes code readability

with its notable use of significant whitespace.

Variables and Data Types

Variables are used to store data. In Python, you don't need to declare the type. Python has several

built-in data types: int, float, str, bool, list, tuple, dict.

Example: x = 5 # int

y = 3.14 # float

name = "Python" # str

Operators

Python supports various operators: arithmetic (+, -, *, /, %), comparison (==, !=, <, >), logical (and,

or, not), assignment (=, +=, -=).

Example: a = 10 + 5 # 15

b = a > 10 # True

Control Structures: If Statements

If statements allow conditional execution. Syntax: if condition: statements elif condition: statements

else: statements

Example:

if x > 0:

print("Positive")

elif x < 0:

print("Negative")

else:

print("Zero")

Loops: For Loop

For loops iterate over sequences. Syntax: for item in sequence: statements

Example:

for i in range(5):

print(i) # Prints 0 to 4

Loops: While Loop

While loops execute as long as condition is true. Syntax: while condition: statements

Example:

i=0

while i < 5:

print(i)

i += 1

Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code. Syntax: def function_name(parameters): statements return

value

Example:

def greet(name):

return f"Hello, {name}!"

print(greet("World"))

Lists

Lists are mutable sequences. Syntax: my_list = [item1, item2, ...]

Operations: append(), remove(), sort(), len()

Example:

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

[Link]("orange")

print(fruits)

Dictionaries

Dictionaries store key-value pairs. Syntax: my_dict = {"key": "value"}

Operations: keys(), values(), items(), get()

Example:

person = {"name": "John", "age": 30}

print(person["name"])

File Handling

To work with files: open() function. Modes: r (read), w (write), a (append)

Example:

with open("[Link]", "w") as f:

[Link]("Hello, World!")

Exception Handling

Handle errors with try-except blocks.

Example:

try:

x=1/0

except ZeroDivisionError:

print("Cannot divide by zero")
