Python uses indentation. Indentation defines code blocks. Incorrect indentation leads to errors. Use spaces or tabs. Be
Consistent indentation is crucial. consistent throughout your code.
The Power of Comments
Comments explain your code. They're ignored by the interpreter.
Use comments liberally to improve readability.

Single-line comments start with `#`. Multi-line comments use


triple quotes `'''` or `"""`.
Quotation Marks in Python

Single quotes (`'`) and double quotes (`"`) define strings. Use either, but be consistent. Triple quotes (`'''` or `"""`) create multi-line strings.
Understanding Variables
Variables store data values. Assign values using the `=` operator. Variable
names are case-sensitive. Choose descriptive variable names. Examples: `x =
5`, `name = "Alice"`.
Data Values in Python
Python supports various data values. These include numbers,
strings, and booleans. Numbers can be integers or floats.
Booleans represent True or False.
Common Python Data Types

Lists Tuples
Lists are ordered, mutable collections. They are defined using Tuples are ordered, immutable collections. Defined with
square brackets `[]`. parentheses `()`.
Spøì aµj D•cø•¾µaä•pì
Sets are unordered collections of unique items. Defined using
curly braces `{}`.

Dictionaries store key-value pairs. Also defined with curly braces


`{}`.
Key Takeaways
Python is easy to learn. Remember indentation and comments. Use variables
to store data. Choose appropriate data types. Practice creating lists, tuples,
sets, and dictionaries. Keep coding!
