🛠 Installation & Setup

Install Python on your system using these methods:

  1. Official Installer
    Download Python for Windows/macOS/Linux

  2. Package Managers

    • sudo apt install python3 (Ubuntu)
    • brew install python (macOS)

Verify installation with:

python --version

🔍 Core Concepts

Python's syntax is designed to be intuitive. Here are some basics:

  • Variables: No type declaration needed 

    x = 10  # Assigns integer to variable

  • Data Types: Integers, floats, strings, booleans
    📌 Use type() to check data type

  • Control Structures:

    • if/else for conditions
    • for/while loops
    • try/except for error handling

🚀 Advanced Features

Explore Python's powerful capabilities:

  • Decorators
    Add functionality to existing functions without modifying their code.

  • Context Managers
    Use with statements for resource management:

    with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
    content = f.read()

  • Metaprogramming
    Create classes that define other classes.

🧠 Best Practices

Follow these guidelines for clean code:

  • Use snake_case for variable names
  • Keep functions focused and small
  • Document your code with docstrings
