Python Basics

 Python supports three numeric data types: “integer”, “float”, and “complex”.
 It is an *interpreted language*, meaning code is executed line by line, which differs
from compiled languages.
 Python is *object-oriented* and *high-level*, allowing for easier interaction with
users.
 It was created by Guido van Rossum during 1985 – 1990.

Features of Python –
 Easy to Learn
 Easy to read
 Easy to maintain
 Scalable
 GUI Programming

Python Syntax and Structure
Identifier –
 a name give to variables, function, class, module or other entities in program.
 Rules for naming –
 Starting from (a-z), (A-Z), or Underscore(_)
 The remaining letters can be letters, numbers, or underscore.
 Case sensitive.
 Cannot be reserved word – (have special meaning like false, true,
global and with etc.)

Indentation and Lines -


 It uses *indentation* instead of braces to define code blocks, which is crucial for
controlling the flow of execution.
 Block of codes are denoted by Indentation.

Variables and Data Types


 Variables in Python are *reserved memory locations* to store values, and their
types are dynamically assigned.
 Based on the data type of the variables, the interpreter allocates memory.
 You can locate integers, decimal, or char.
Python has several *standard data types* : used to define the operation
possible on them including –
 Numbers – (int, float, complex)
 Strings – (set of chartacters)
 Lists - (collection of elements)
 Tuples – (similar to list but immutable)
 Dictionaries – (key value pairs)

Operators in Python
Python includes various *operators* :
 Arithmetic operators - perform common mathematical
operations.

a=4
b=2
print(a+b)
print(a-b)
print(a*b)
print(a/b)
print(a%b)
print(a**b)
print(a//b)
 Comparison operators - are used to compare two values.

a=4
b=2
print(a==b)
print(a!=b)
print(a>b)
print(a<b)
print(a>=b)
print(a<=b)
 Logical operators - combine conditional statements.

a=2
print(a<5 and a<10) #output - true

a=5
print(a<1 and a<10) #output - false

 Assigment operstors - used to assign values to variables.


 Bitwise operators - used to compare binary numbers

5 -> 101

7 -> 111

a=5

b=7

print(a&b) #output – 5

print(a|b) #output - 7
Writing Python Programs

The video demonstrates how to write simple programs, such as

 adding two numbers and calculating the area of a circle.


a = int(input(“enter first element”)
b = int(input(“enter second element”)
c = a+b
print(“sum =”,c)

 Input functions are used to gather user data, which is often


converted to integers for calculations.
