Python Installation

-

 To install Python on your computer, you can follow these general steps. Please note that the specific instructions may vary depending on your operating system (Windows).

Step 1: Download Python

Go to the official Python website at https://www.python.org/downloads/ and download the latest version of Python. Python 3 is the recommended version, as Python 2 is no longer supported.

Step 2: Start the Installer

Run the downloaded installer (e.g., `python-3.x.x.exe`) and check the box that gives 2 options

1. Install Now (select)

2. Customize Installtion


       wait for 5-10 mins 


                                

Step 3: Verify the Installation

After installation, you can verify that Python is installed correctly by opening a terminal or command prompt and typing: python

 



Step 4: Install a Code Editor or IDE 

While you can write and run Python code in a plain text editor, it's often more convenient to use a dedicated code editor or integrated development environment (IDE) for Python development. Some popular options include Visual Studio Code (vscode), PyCharm, and Jupyter Notebook.

I prefer vscode

Step 5: Start Coding

Once you have Python installed and a code editor/IDE set up, you're ready to start writing and running Python code.


That's it! You now have Python installed on your computer and can begin programming in Python.

Python Variables

 In Python, variables are used to store and manage data. Variables act as placeholders or containers for storing values. Here are some key points about variables in Python: Variable Naming Rules:    - Variable names can contain letters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9), and underscores (_).    - Variable names must start with a letter or an underscore (no digits as the first character).    - Variable names are case-sensitive, meaning `myVariable` and `myvariable` are considered different variables.    - Python has reserved words (keywords) that cannot be used as variable names, such as if,  else, for, and while . Variable Assignment:    - Assigning a value to a variable is done using the  = operator.    - Variables can hold various data types, such as integers, floats, strings, lists, dictionaries, and custom objects.    Example:      Dynamic Typing:    - Python uses dynamic typing, me...

Python Execution

 In Python, there are several ways to execute code, depending on your needs and the context in which you are working.  Here are the primary execution types:  i. Interactive Mode ii. Script Mode 1. Interactive Mode (Python Shell or REPL - Read-Eval-Print Loop):     Interactive mode allows you to execute Python code one line at a time and immediately see the results. You can open an interactive Python shell by typing python  in your terminal or command prompt.     Example:     Note :  Make sure you have Python installed on your computer. You can check if Python is installed by typing python or python3 and hitting Enter. If it's installed, you'll enter the Python interactive shell. 2. Script Mode:    In script mode, you write Python code in a separate file with a .py  extension and execute the entire script. You run a Python script from the command line using python script_name.py .     Example:    ...
