Introduction to Python
In this python tutorial we will comprehensively learn all the concepts of Python. Let’s start
o by understanding what exactly is Python.

Python is a free, open source programming language. So, all you have to do is install
Python once and you can start working with it. And since Python is open source, you can
contribute your own code to the community.

Python is also a cross platform compatible language. So, what does this mean? Well, you
can install and run Python on several operating systems. So, whether you have a Windows,
Mac or Linux, you can be rest assured that Python will work on all these operating systems.

Python is also a great visualization tool. Python provides libraries such as matplotlib,
seaborn and bokeh to create stunning visualizations.

Python is the most popular language for implementing machine learning and deep
learning tasks. Today, every top organization is investing in the eld of machine learning
and majority of these machine learning applications are implemented with python at back-
end.

Now, that we have understood what exactly is python, let us go ahead in this Python
tutorial and understand why should we learn python?

Python Tutorial: Why learn Python?

Simple and easy to learn:

Learning python programming language is fun. If you compare python with any other
language for example java or c++, you’ll nd that it’s syntax is way lot easier. You also don’t
have to worry about the missing semi colons(;) in the end.

Let’s say we want to print “Welcome to the world of programming.” on our screen. Now,
let’s compare the syntax for python and java:

Python Syntax:
print(“Welcome to the world of programming”)

Java Syntax:
class Simple{

public static void main(String args[]){

System.out.println("Welcome to the world of programming");

So, here we see that, python code is of just one line but when it comes to java, there are
multiple lines of code just for printing a statement.

Now, in this python tutorial, we will look at the procedure to install python.

Python Installation
If you are new to programming, then installing a programming language itself could be a
herculean task. So, now we are going to look at the step by step process to install python.
1. Start o by going to this website -> https://www.python.org/downloads/
(https://www.python.org/downloads/)

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 4/39

Variables in Python:
You can consider a variable to be a temporary storage space where you can keep changing
values. Let’s take this example to understand variables:

So, let’s say, we have this cart and initially we store an apple in it.

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 5/39
9/26/2019 Python Tutorial for beginners – Learn Python Programming language basics - Intellipaat

After a while, we take out this apple and replace it with a banana.

Again, after some time, we replace this banana with a mango.

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 6/39
9/26/2019 Python Tutorial for beginners – Learn Python Programming language basics - Intellipaat

So, here this cart acts as a variable, where the values stored in it keep on changing.

Now, that we have understood what a variable is, let’s go ahead and see how can we assign
values to a variable in python.
Watch this Python Interview Questions video:

Assigning values to a variable:

To assign values to a variable in Python, we will use the assignment (=) operator.

Here, initially, we have stored a numeric value -> 10 in the variable ‘a’.  After a while, we
have stored a string value -> “sparta” in the same variable. And then, we have stored the
logical value True.

Now, let’s implement the same thing in Jupyter Notebook and look at the result:

Assigning a value 10 to a:

Assigning “sparta” to a:

Going ahead in this python tutorial, we will learn about data types in Python..

Data Types in Python

Every variable is associated with a data type and these are the di erent types of   data types
(https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/python-datatypes/) available in python:

Now, let’s understand these individual data types by their implementation in jupyter
notebook.

9/26/2019 Python Tutorial for beginners – Learn Python Programming language basics - Intellipaat

Numbers in Python
Numbers in python could be integers, oating point numbers or complex numbers.

Let’s start o with an example on integer:

Here, we have assigned the value 100 to num1 and when we check the type of the variable,
we see that it is an integer.

Next, we have an example on oating point number:

This time, we have assigned the value 13.4 to num2 and checking the type of the variable,
tells us that it is oat.

Finally, let’s look at an example on complex number:

Here, we have assigned the value 10-10j to num3. Now 10-10j comprises of two parts->  the
real part and the imaginary part and combining these two gives us the complex number.

Now, let’s start with Python Strings.

Python Strings
Anything written in single or double quotes is treated as a string in Python.

          

Now, let’s see how can we extract individual characters from a string.

So, I’d want to extract the rst two characters from ‘str1’ which I have created above:

Now, similarly, let’s extract the last two characters from str1:

Now, let’s head onto tuples in Python:

Python Tuples
A python tuple is a collection of immutable python objects enclosed within parenthesis ().
Elements in a tuple could be of same data type or of di erent data type.

Let’s create a tuple where elements are of same data type:

Now, let’s access the rst element from this tuple:

Extracting the last element from this tuple:

Now, we will go ahead and learn about Python lists.

Python Lists
A Python Lists (https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/python-lists/) is an ordered
collection of elements.

It can contain elements of di erent data types unlike arrays.

Now, let’s create a list with di erent data types:

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 11/39

Now, let’s do some operation on the list we created:

Fetching the rst element from list:

Adding an element while removing the other:

The below line of code will return the length of the list:

This will return the list in reversed order.

Now, we will further look at Python Sets.

Python Sets
Python sets (https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/python-sets/) are collection of
unordered and unindexed items.

Every element in a set is unique and it does contain duplicate values.

Sets can be used to perform mathematical calculations such as union, intersection and
di erences.

Creating a set:

Here, in set ‘Age’, value “22” is appearing twice. Since, every element in set is unique, it will
remove the duplicate value.

Operations on Sets:

1.add :  This method adds element to the set if it is not present in it.

2.union: It returns union of two sets.

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 13/39
9/26/2019 Python Tutorial for beginners – Learn Python Programming language basics - Intellipaat

3.intersection: This method returns the intersection of two sets.

4.di erence: The di erence of two sets(set1, set2) will return the elements which are
present only in set1.

Now, we will look at Python Dictionary.

Conditional Statements
Conditional statements are used for running a line of code or set of code if it satis es a
particular condition. A particular condition is provided, if it is true the code will execute
otherwise the control will be passed on to next control statement.

There are three types of conditional statements as illustrated in the above example:

1.If statement: Firstly, “if” condition is checked and if it is true the statements under “if”
statements will be executed. If is false then the control will be passed on to the next
conditional statements.

2.Elif statement: If the previous condition is false, either it could be “if” condition or “elif”
after “if”, then the control is passed on to the “elif” statements. If it is true then the
statements after “elif” condition will execute. There can be more than one “elif” statements.

3.Else statement: When “if” and “elif” conditions are false, then the control is passed on to
the “else” statement and it will execute.

Now, let’s go ahead and learn about loops in this python tutorial.

Watch this Python Pandas Tutorial Video for Beginners:

Loops
If we have a block of code then statements in it will be executed sequentially. But, when we
want a statement or a set of statements to be executed multiple times then we use loops.

Types of loops:

1.While loop: We use this loop when we want a statement or a set of statement to execute
as long as the Boolean condition associated with it satis es.

In while loop, the number of iterations depends on the condition which is applied to the
while loop.

2.for loop: Here, we know the number of iterations unlike while loop. This for loop is also
used for iterations of statements or a set of statements multiple times.

3.nested loop: This type of loop consists of loop inside a loop. It can be for loop or can be a
combination of  for and while loop.

Now, we will learn about user-de ned functions in this python tutorial.

User De ned Function 

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 18/39
9/26/2019 Python Tutorial for beginners – Learn Python Programming language basics - Intellipaat

In any programming language, functions are a better and systematic way of writing.
Functions provide us the liberty to use the code inside it whenever it is needed just by
calling the function by it’s name.

Syntax: def function()

Going ahead in this Python tutorial, we will learn about Exception Handling.

Exception Handling
Basically, an exception is an abnormal condition or error that occurs during the execution
of a program. Whenever an exception occurs in a program, the execution of the program
halts, and the further instruction of the programs are not executed.

We need to handle these exceptions in order to ensure the normal execution of the
program.

Some of the common exceptions that occur in Python programs while executing are:
1. NameError: This error occurs when a name is not found.
2. ZeroDivisionError: When a number is divided by zero, ZeroDivisionError occurs.
3. IndentationError: This error occurs due to wrong indentation.
4. IOError: When Input Output operation fails, IOError occurs.

So, in Python we use try, catch, except and nally to handle the exceptions.
try-except block
In Python program, the line of code that may throw exceptions are placed in try block.

The try block should have except  block with it to handle the exception. If any exception
occurs in try block then the statements in except block will be executed.

https://intellipaat.com/blog/tutorial/python-tutorial/ 19/39
9/26/2019 Python Tutorial for beginners – Learn Python Programming language basics - Intellipaat

Syntax:
try:

#line of code

except Exception:

#line of code

#rest of the code

else block
In this case, the else block will be executed if no exception occurs.

Syntax:
try:

#line of code

except Exception:

#line of code

else:

#If there is no exception then this piece of code will be executed

Example:

nally block
If we want a piece of code which cannot be skipped and it has to be executed under any
circumstances, then we put that piece of code in nally block.

Syntax:
try:

#line of code

finally:

#This piece of code will definitely be executed.
