 An Introduction to Python

What is Python?
Python is a high-level object-oriented programming language that was created by Guido van
Rossum. It is also called general-purpose programming language as it is used in almost every
domain we can think of as mentioned below:

❑ Web Development
❑ Software Development
❑ Game Development
❑ AI & ML
❑ Data Analytics

 Variables
Variable is a name that is used to refer to memory location. It stores and manipulates data.

Variables are entities of a program that holds a value. Here is an example of a variable:

x=100

In the below diagram, the box holds a value of 100 and is named as x. Therefore, the variable is
x, and the data it holds is the value.
Data Types
 Dynamic Types

Python is a dynamically typed language. It doesn’t know about the type of the variable
until the code is run.

x=6

print(type(x))

x = 'hello'

print(type(x))
 Conditional Statements
Conditional Statements:
Conditional statements allow a program to make decisions based on certain conditions. They are fundamental in all
programming languages. Here's a quick overview using Python.

if If……else If……elif……else
 Conditional Statements
Example

if If……else If……elif……else
i = 10 i = 20 i = 20
if i < 15: if i == 10:
if i > 15: print("i is smaller than 15") print("i is 10")
print("10 is less than 15") print("i'm in if Block") elif i == 15:
print("I am Not in if") else: print("i is 15")
print("i is greater than 15") elif i == 20:
print("i'm in else Block") print("i is 20")
print("i'm not in if and not in else Block") else:
print("i is not present")
 Logical Operators

and
a = 10
b = 10
c = -10

if a > 0 and b > 0:

print("The numbers are greater than 0")

if a > 0 and b > 0 and c > 0:

print("The numbers are greater than 0")
else:
print("At Least one number is not greater than 0")
 Logical Operators

or not
a = 10 a = 10
b = -10
c=0 if not (a%3 == 0 or a%5 == 0):
print("10 is not divisible by either 3 or 5")
if a > 0 or b > 0: else:
print("Either of the number is greater than 0") print("10 is divisible by either 3 or 5")
else:
print("No number is greater than 0")

if b > 0 or c > 0:
print("Either of the number is greater than 0")
else:
print("No number is greater than 0")
Comparison/Relational/Conditional Operators
Comparison/Relational/Conditional Operators

Example:
a=9
b=5

print(a > b)
print(a < b)
print(a == b)
print(a != b)
print(a >= b)
print(a <= b)
 Loops
While Loops : A while loop statement in Python programming language repeatedly executes a target
statement as long as a given condition is true.

count = 0
while count < 9:
print('The count is:', count)
count = count + 1

print("Good bye!")
Sum of n Numbers Program

n = int(input("Enter the n Number:"))

sum = 0
i=1

while i <= n:
sum = sum + i
i = i +1

print(sum)
Break & Continue Statement

Break Continue
i=1 i=0
while i < 6: while i < 6:
print(i) i += 1
if i == 3: if i == 3:
break continue
i += 1 print(i)
sum = 0

while True:
num = input("Enter a Number: ")
if num == "quit":
break

try:
num = int(num)
except:
print("Enter a valid number please.")
continue
sum = sum + num
print(sum)
 For Loops
For Loops
A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence (that is either a list, a tuple, a dictionary, a set, or a string).
 For Loops

#Looping Through a String #Looping Through a list #The break Statement

#Exit the loop when x is "banana"
for x in "banana": fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(x) for x in fruits: fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
print(x) for x in fruits:
print(x)
if x == "banana":
break
#The continue Statement
#Do not print banana:

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

for x in fruits:
if x == "banana":
continue
print(x)
 For-While Comparison
while for
num = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] num = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
index = 0 for x in num:
n = len(num) print(x)
while index < n:
print(num[index])
index = index+1
 Nested Loops

adj = ["red", "big", "tasty"]

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

for x in adj:
for y in fruits:
print(x, y)
 Strings
Strings are List like many other popular programming languages. Python does not have a character data type,
a single character is simply a string with a length of 1. Square brackets can be used to access elements of the
string.

a = "Hello World"
print(a)
print(a[0])
print(a[-1])
print(a[0:3])
print(a[0:])
print(a[1:])
print(a[:4])
print(a[0:-1])
