1: Introduction to Python

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

• It is versatile, used in web development, data analysis, machine learning, automation, and
more.

• Python emphasizes easy-to-understand syntax, making it an ideal choice for beginners.

• It supports multiple programming paradigms like procedural, object-oriented, and functional


programming.

Code Example:

python

Copy

print("Hello, Python!")
2: Installing and Setting Up Python

• Download the latest version of Python from the official website: python.org.

• Install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as PyCharm or Visual Studio Code.

• Python comes with an interactive shell called IDLE, which can also be used to run code.

• Make sure Python is added to your system's PATH during installation for easy access.

Code Example:

bash

Copy

# Check if Python is installed:

python –version
3: Python Syntax and Code Structure

• Python uses indentation (spaces or tabs) to define blocks of code, instead of curly braces {}.

• It is important to maintain consistent indentation to avoid errors.

• Python does not require semicolons to end statements, making code cleaner and easier to
read.

• Statements can span multiple lines, making it more flexible for writing readable code.

Code Example:

python

Copy

def greet(name):

print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("Python")
4: Variables and Data Types

• Variables store data, and Python automatically infers the data type based on the value
assigned.

• Common data types include integers (int), floating-point numbers (float), strings (str), and
booleans (bool).

• Lists, tuples, and dictionaries are common collection types in Python.

Code Example:

python

Copy

x=5 # int

name = "John" # str

is_active = True # bool


5: Operators in Python (Arithmetic, Logical, Comparison, etc.)

• Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, //, %, **.

• Comparison operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=.

• Logical operators: and, or, not.

Code Example:

python

Copy

a = 10

b = 20

# Arithmetic

sum = a + b

# Comparison

result = a < b

# Logical

check = a > 5 and b < 30


6: Type Conversion and Casting

• Type conversion allows you to convert one data type to another.

• You can use built-in functions like int(), float(), and str() to perform type casting.

• Python also supports implicit type conversion.

Code Example:

python

Copy

x = "10" # string

y = int(x) # casting string to integer

z = 5.7 # float

w = int(z) # casting float to integer


7: Control Flow Statements (if-else)

• if-else statements allow the program to make decisions based on conditions.

• The if block executes if the condition is true; otherwise, the else block runs.

• You can also use elif for multiple conditions.

Code Example:

python

Copy

x = 10

if x > 5:

print("x is greater than 5")

else:

print("x is not greater than 5")


Slide 8: Loops (for, while)

• for loop is used for iterating over a sequence like a list or range.

• while loop repeats a block of code as long as the condition is true.

Code Example:

python

Copy

# For loop example

for i in range(5):

print(i)

# While loop example

x=0

while x < 5:

print(x)

x += 1
9: Break, Continue, and Pass Statements

• break: Exits the loop when a condition is met.

• continue: Skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.

• pass: A placeholder that does nothing, useful for stubbing out code.

Code Example:

python

Copy

# break example

for i in range(10):

if i == 5:

break

print(i)

# continue example

for i in range(5):

if i == 3:

continue

print(i)

# pass example

def empty_function():

pass
10: Functions and Function Arguments

• Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform a specific task.

• You can pass data to functions via arguments and return values using return.

• Python supports default, keyword, and variable-length arguments.

Code Example:

python

Copy

def greet(name="User"):

print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("Alice")

greet() # Will use the default argument
