Introduction to Python Programming

1. What is Python?
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its readability and
simplicity. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-
oriented, and functional programming.

2. Variables and Data Types


Variables are used to store data. Python supports several data types including integers,
floats, strings, and booleans.
Example:
x=5 # integer
y = 3.14 # float
name = 'Alice' # string
is_valid = True # boolean

3. Control Structures
Control structures allow you to manage the flow of your program.
if, elif, and else are used for conditional execution.
for and while loops are used for iteration.
Example:
for i in range(5):
print(i)

4. Functions
Functions are blocks of code designed to do one job. Use 'def' to define a function.
Example:
def greet(name):
print(f'Hello, {name}')

5. Lists and Dictionaries


Lists and dictionaries are commonly used data structures.
Lists are ordered and mutable:
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']
Dictionaries store key-value pairs:
student = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 20}
6. Conclusion
Python is versatile and beginner-friendly. With basic knowledge of variables, control
structures, functions, and data structures, you are well on your way to becoming proficient
in Python programming.
