Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It's widely used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more.

Variables and Data Types

In Python, variables are used to store data. Data can be of different types, such as integers, strings, floats, and more.

  • Integers: Whole numbers, e.g., 5, -3
  • Strings: Text, e.g., "Hello, World!"
  • Floats: Numbers with decimal points, e.g., 3.14
  • Booleans: True or False values

Control Structures

Control structures allow you to control the flow of your program. This includes conditions (if-else) and loops (for, while).

if condition:
    # Code to be executed if condition is true
elif another_condition:
    # Code to be executed if another condition is true
else:
    # Code to be executed if none of the conditions are true

Functions

Functions are blocks of code that perform a specific task. They can be reused throughout your program, making it more efficient.

def my_function():
    # Code to be executed

my_function()

File Handling

File handling allows you to read and write data to files.


with open("example.txt", "w") as file:
    file.write("Hello, World!")

# Reading from a file
with open("example.txt", "r") as file:
    content = file.read()
    print(content)
