Python for Beginners - Learn

Python in 1 Hour
Programming with Mosh
Python Programming Tutorial
In this Python tutorial, you'll learn
everything you need to start
programming in Python. This
tutorial is perfect for data science,
machine learning, and web
development. No prior knowledge in
Python or programming is required
as everything will be taught from
scratch. I'm Mosh Hamadani, and
I've taught millions of people how to
code through this channel. If you're
new here, make sure to subscribe
as I upload new videos every week.
Let's jump in and get started.
What is Python?
Python is a multipurpose
programming language that can be
used for a variety of different tasks,
such as automation, web
development, and data science.
● You can use Python in
automation to automate
repetitive tasks and save time
and increase productivity.
● You need to install a code
editor to write your own
Python code.
● You can build amazing
websites powered by Python.
We'll be using PyCharm as our code
editor in this tutorial. When you
open PyCharm for the first time,
you have to configure a few
settings, but we can skip that for
now and set defaults. Let's create a
new project and collapse the
project window to give more space.
We can then print a message on our
application window.
Running Python Code
To run Python code in PyCharm, we
go to the run menu and select run,
or use the shortcut (ctrl+shift+r on
a Mac). Then select the app to run,
and the output will appear in the
terminal window. Python is case
sensitive so make sure to use the
correct case when coding. We can
declare variables, such as age and
price, and assign them values.
Python also has boolean values that
can be true or false.
Now let's start coding!
age = 30
print(age)
price = 19.95
print(price)
Declare and Use Variables in Python
Here's a little exercise for you:
imagine we want to write a program
for a hospital, so we're going to
check in a patient named John
Smith. He's 20 years old and is a
new patient. I want you to declare a
few variables to store these values.

share your code.

Receiving User Input in Python


In Python, we have a built-in
function called input() that we use
to read a value from the terminal
window. We can add a string
argument to the function to prompt
the user for input.
Let's write a simple program to
demonstrate this:
name = input("What is your name?
")print("Hello, " + name)
When we run this program, it will
prompt the user to input their name.
Once a value is entered, the
program will print the greeting
message with the input value.

Data Types in Python


There are three main data types in
Python: numbers, strings, and
booleans.
● Numbers - This includes
integers and floating-point
numbers.
● Strings - This includes textual
data.
● Booleans - This includes True
and False values.

Converting Data Types in Python


Python has several built-in
functions for converting the types
of our variables. For example, we
have the int() function for
converting a value to an integer:
birth_year = "1982"age = 2020 -
int(birth_year)print("You are " +
str(age) + " years old.")
In the above example, we use the
int() function to convert the
birth_year string to an integer so we
can subtract it from the current
year.
We also have the float() function for
converting a value to a float:
num = "10.5"float_num =
float(num)print(float_num)
In the above example, we use the
float() function to convert the num
string to a floating point number.
Type Conversion in Python
In programming languages like
Python, there are times when you
need to convert a variable from one
type to another. In this tutorial, I'll
show you a bunch of cool things
you can do with strings using
Python for beginners.
In Python, the index of the first
character in a string is 0. So, when
we run this program, you're going to
see 1 on the terminal because the
index is 1.
print("Hello World"[1]) # Output: e
The float function is used to convert
a string to a float value.
first = float(input("Enter the first
number: "))
We can also change this expression
to first + second, which is another
way to write this piece of code.
The lower method is used to
convert a string to lowercase or to
find a character or a sequence of
characters.
string = "Hello
World"print(string.lower()) #
Output: hello
worldprint(string.find('o')) # Output:
4print(string.replace('o','a')) #
Output: Hella Warld
The in operator can be used to
check if a string contains a
character.
string = "Python is a programming
language for
beginners."print('language' in
string) # Output: True
Arithmetic Operators in Python
Python has various arithmetic
operators that we can use, such as
addition (+), subtraction (-),
multiplication (*), and division (/).
print(10 + 3) # Output: 13
We also have an augmented
assignment operator in Python that
means incrementing a variable by a
value.
x = 5x += 3 # Output: 8
Operator precedence in Python is
similar to math, but we can always
use parentheses to change the
order of operations.
x = 10 + 3 * 2 # Output: 16
Multiplication and division have a
higher order, so they are evaluated
first. That's why the answer is 16.
x = 10 + 3 / 2print(x) # Output: 11.5
When we print x, we get 11.5.
x += 3print(x) # Output: 14.5
When we run x += 3, we get 14.5 as
the result. When we run x == 13, it
will store False in the x variable.
x = 1000 # Output: 1000
