Introduction to Python
• Python is a widely used high-level
programming language.
• - Created by Guido van Rossum in 1989.
• - Designed for simplicity, readability, and
flexibility.
• - Used in web development, data science, AI,
automation, etc.
Course Syllabus
• The course is divided into 4 modules:
• 1. Introduction to Python & Programming
• 2. Data types, variables, input/output,
operators
• 3. Boolean values, loops, lists, logical
operations
• 4. Functions, tuples, dictionaries, exceptions,
data processing
Computer Programming Basics
• A program makes a computer usable by
providing instructions.
• - Programs perform simple operations like
addition and comparison.
• - Computers execute instructions sequentially
in a programmatic way.
• - High-level languages like Python make
programming more accessible.
Python Language & Features
• - Python is an interpreted, object-oriented,
high-level language.
• - It emphasizes code readability with simple
syntax.
• - It supports multiple paradigms: procedural,
object-oriented, and functional.
• - Extensive standard libraries make
development easier.
Python Implementations
• - CPython: Standard Python implementation in
C.
• - Jython: Python for Java Virtual Machine.
• - IronPython: Python for .NET Framework.
• - PyPy: A faster alternative with Just-In-Time
compilation.
Installing and Setting Up Python
• 1. Download Python from
https://www.python.org/downloads/
• 2. Install Python and check 'Add Python to
PATH'.
• 3. Use IDLE (Python’s built-in editor) or install
VS Code/PyCharm.
• 4. Verify installation by running `python --
version` in the terminal.
Writing Your First Python Program
• 1. Open IDLE or a text editor.
• 2. Create a new file and write:
• ```python
• print("Hello, Python!")
• ```
• 3. Save with `.py` extension.
• 4. Run the program using IDLE or the terminal.
Python Syntax and Semantics
• - Python uses indentation instead of braces
`{}`.
• - Statements are executed sequentially.
• - Comments start with `#`.
• - Uses variables, operators, loops, and
functions for execution.
Data Types and Variables
• - Python supports various data types:
• * Integers (int), Floating points (float)
• * Strings (str), Boolean (bool)
• * Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries
• - Variables store data and follow dynamic
typing.
Functions and Debugging
• - Functions allow code reuse and modularity.
• - Defined using `def function_name()`.
• - Debugging is done using print statements or
built-in tools like `pdb`.
• - Exception handling using `try-except`
prevents crashes.
Summary & Key Takeaways
• - Python is easy to learn and widely used.
• - Understanding basic programming concepts
is essential.
• - Python’s syntax is simple yet powerful.
• - Hands-on practice is key to mastering
Python.
