A glimpse of Python

Core Python Concepts

• print(): Outputs data to the console.

• input(): Captures user input from the console.

• Variables: Store data values.Python.org+18Codecademy+18arXiv+18

• Data Types: Understand int, float, str, bool, and None.

• Operators: Arithmetic (+, -, *, /), comparison (==, !=, <, >), and logical (and, or, not).

• if, elif, else: Control flow based on conditions.

• for Loops: Iterate over sequences like lists, strings, or ranges.Learn Python+4Hostman+4Dataquest+4

• while Loops: Execute code as long as a condition is true.YouTube+15Reddit+15realpython.com+15

• break and continue: Control loop execution.Learn Python+1arXiv+1

• Functions: Define reusable blocks of code using def.

• Lists: Ordered, mutable collections.

• Tuples: Ordered, immutable collections.

• Dictionaries: Key-value pairs for storing data.

• Sets: Unordered collections of unique elements.arXiv

• List Comprehensions: Concise way to create lists.

• range(): Generate sequences of numbers.

• len(): Returns the length of a collection.

• type(): Returns the type of an object.

• String Methods: lower(), upper(), split(), join(), etc.

• Exception Handling: Manage errors using try, except, finally.

• File I/O: Read from and write to files using open().

Python's open-source nature not only makes it accessible but also fosters a supportive environment for learning and development. Its extensive resources and community support make it an ideal first programming language.
