Welcome to the Python Basics guide! 🐍 This tutorial is designed for beginners to learn the fundamentals of Python programming.

What is Python?

Python is a versatile, high-level programming language known for its readability and simplicity. It's widely used in web development, data science, automation, and more.

Key Features

  • Easy to Learn: Simple syntax makes it ideal for newcomers.
  • Open Source: Free to use and modify.
  • Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other systems.

Getting Started

        print("x is large")  
    else:  
        print("x is small")  
    
  • Loops:
    for i in range(5):  
        print(i)
