Welcome to the Python tutorial! Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language. It is known for its simplicity and readability. In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of Python programming.
Installation
Before you start, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download it from the official Python website.
Basic Syntax
Python uses indentation to define blocks of code. Here's an example:
print("Hello, World!")
This will print "Hello, World!" to the console.
Variables
Variables are used to store data values. In Python, you can declare variables without specifying their type:
x = 10
y = "Hello"
Lists
Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Functions
Functions are blocks of code that perform a specific task:
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
greet("Alice")
This will print "Hello, Alice!" to the console.
Modules
Python has a rich set of modules that provide additional functionality. You can import a module using the import
statement:
import math
print(math.sqrt(16))
This will print the square root of 16, which is 4.
