Introduction to Python 

   - Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability.

   - It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991.


Easy to Read and Write

   - Python emphasizes code readability with a clean and straightforward syntax.

   - It uses indentation (whitespace) to define code blocks, enhancing code clarity.


Interpreted Language

   - Python code is executed line by line by an interpreter, which means you can run code without the need for compilation.


Platform-Independent

   - Python is available on various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it highly portable.


Rich Standard Library

   - Python boasts a comprehensive standard library that simplifies tasks like file handling, networking, and data manipulation.


Strongly Typed

   - Despite dynamic typing, Python is strongly typed, meaning variable types must be compatible during operations.


Object-Oriented

   - Python supports object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, encouraging code organization through classes and objects.


Community Support

    - Python has a large and active community, contributing to a vast ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, and resources.


Web Development

    - Python is used for web development with frameworks like Django and Flask, enabling the creation of dynamic web applications.


Automation and Scripting

    - Python is widely used for scripting and automation tasks, including system administration, data scraping, and more.

 

Cross-Domain Integration

    - Python can be integrated with other languages like C/C++, allowing developers to leverage existing code and libraries.


Scalability

    - Python can handle small scripts and large-scale applications, making it suitable for projects of all sizes.


Job Opportunities

    - Python skills are in high demand, leading to numerous job opportunities in software development, data science, and related fields.


Fun and Productive

    - Many programmers find Python enjoyable to work with, which contributes to productivity and creativity.


Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, Python is a valuable programming language to learn and master due to its versatility and wide-ranging applications.

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...

 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:    ...
