Python

Python is a widely-used programming language created by Guido van Rossum in 1991, suitable for web development, software development, mathematics, and system scripting. Key features include the importance of indentation for code blocks, the use of comments for code readability, and rules for naming variables. The print() function is commonly used to output variables, and casting can specify variable data types.

PYTHON

What is Python?
❑ Python is a popular programming language.
❑ It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.

It is used for:
❑ web development (server-side),
❑ software development,
❑ mathematics,
❑ system scripting.

FIRST PROGRAM
Python Indentation
❑ Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line.
❑ Where in other programming languages the indentation in code is for readability only,
the indentation in Python is very important.
❑ Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.

❑ Python will give you an error if you skip the indentation


❑ You have to use the same number of spaces in the same block of code, otherwise
Python will give you an error
Python Comments
❑ Comments can be used to explain Python code.
❑ Comments can be used to make the code more readable.
❑ Comments can be used to prevent execution when testing code.

Creating Comment
❑ Comments start with # and can be placed anywhere ,and python will ignore them.
❑ A comment does not have to be text that explains the code, it can also be used to prevent Python from executing
code:

Multiline Comments
Variable
variables are created when you assign a value to it
Casting
If you want to specify the data type of a variable, this can be done with casting.

Get the Type


You can get the datatype of the variable using type() function.
.
Variable Names
A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more descriptive name (age, carname,
total_volume).

Rules for Python variables:

❑ ● A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character


❑ ● A variable name cannot start with a number
❑ ● A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9,
and _ )
❑ Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are three different variables)
❑ A variable name cannot be any of the Python keywords.
Output Variables

The Python print() function is often used to output variables.

separated by a comma
You can also use the + operator to output multiple variables:

For numbers, the + character works as a mathematical operator:
