Introduction to Python
Python is a powerful, versatile programming language known for its simplicity and readability. The code is easy to
learn and concise, making it perfect for beginners and experts alike.

Powerful Libraries Interpreted Language Multi-Platform Support

Python has robust libraries for

data science, web Python code is interpreted at Python runs on many
development, automation, and runtime, allowing for fast operating systems and can be
more. edit-test-debug cycles. used for cross-platform
development.
Working with Python
Python makes it easy to write code. Variables don't need to be declared, and code blocks are defined by indentation.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms including object-oriented, imperative, and functional
programming.

1 Object-Oriented Programming

Organize code using classes and objects to

Imperative Programming 2 make code reusable and maintainable.
Develop linear, step-by-step code using
control flow statements and variables.
3 Functional Programming

Develop code using pure functions that

produce immutable output for a given
input.
Input and Output in Python
Python provides many ways to get input from the user and display output. Use the input() function to get input
from the user, and print() function to display output to the console.

User Input Command Line Interface File I/O

Use the input() function to get Read and write data to files using
input from the user. Use the command line interface to Python's file I/O functions.
execute Python scripts and display
output.
Control Structures in Python

Control structures allow you to execute code blocks based on conditions. In

Python, you can use if, else, and elif statements to control program flow.

1 if Statements 2 else Statements

Run code if a condition is Run code if the condition in

true. an if statement is false.

3 elif Statements

Chain multiple conditions together.

String Manipulation in Python
Python provides powerful tools for manipulating strings. Use string methods to convert between uppercase and
lowercase, split strings, and extract substrings. Regular expressions allow you to match patterns in strings.

String Methods Regular Expressions String Formatting

Use built-in string methods to Match patterns in strings Format strings with
modify and manipulate using regular expressions. placeholders and variables
strings. using the format() method.
Lists in Python
Lists are one of the most versatile data types in Python and can be used to store a collection of values. Use lists to
iterate over data, sort and search collections, and perform mathematical operations.

List Comprehensions

Use list comprehensions to create filtered lists or

transform elements in a list.

Perform operations on lists, including Use built-in list methods to sort, search, and
concatenation, replication, and slicing. modify lists.
Tuple, Sets and Dictionary in Python
Python provides additional data types for more specialized use cases. Tuples are immutable sequences and can be
used for multiple assignments and returning values. Sets are unordered collections of unique values and are useful
for filtering duplicates. Dictionaries are key-value pairs and are used for fast lookups and complex data
manipulations.
