PYTHON NOTES

1. Python is a versatile language: Python is a high-level programming


language known for its simplicity and readability. It can be used for a wide
range of applications, such as web development, data analysis, artificial
intelligence, and more.
2. Installing Python: To start programming with Python, you need to install
Python on your computer. Visit the official Python website (python.org)
and download the latest version compatible with your operating system.
3. Python interpreter and IDLE: Python code is executed by the Python
interpreter. The IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment)
is a simple Python environment that allows you to write and run Python
programs.
4. Variables and data types: In Python, you can store values in variables.
Variables can hold different types of data, such as numbers (integers,
floats), text (strings), and Boolean values (True or False).
5. Basic operations: Python supports various arithmetic operations,
including addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and
exponentiation (**). You can use these operations with numerical
variables.
6. Conditional statements: Conditional statements allow you to make
decisions in your program. The most common ones are the "if" statement
and the "if-else" statement. They allow you to execute different blocks of
code based on certain conditions.
7. Loops: Loops are used to repeat a block of code multiple times. Python
provides two main loop structures: the "for" loop and the "while" loop. The
"for" loop is used for iterating over a sequence of elements, while the
"while" loop continues until a specific condition is met.
8. Functions: Functions allow you to group and reuse blocks of code. They
take inputs, perform specific tasks, and return outputs. You can create
your own functions or use built-in functions provided by Python.
9. Lists and dictionaries: Lists and dictionaries are two common data
structures in Python. Lists are used to store an ordered collection of
elements, while dictionaries store key-value pairs. They are versatile and
widely used for storing and manipulating data.
10. Modules and libraries: Python offers a vast ecosystem of modules
and libraries that extend its capabilities. You can import these modules
into your programs to access additional functions and features. Popular
libraries include NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, and more.
