Welcome to the Python Tutorial! Python is one of the most popular programming languages today, celebrated for its simplicity, extensive features, and robust library support. Its clean and straightforward syntax makes it beginner-friendly, while its powerful frameworks make it ideal for developers.


What is Python?

Python is a high-level, interpreted language with easy-to-read syntax. It is widely used in various fields, including:

  1. Web development
  2. Data science
  3. Artificial intelligence
  4. Automation

Your First Python Program

Here's a simple Python code snippet that prints a string. Try editing the code to print your own name!

print("Hello World")

Output:

>> Hello World

1. Python Fundamentals

In this section, we cover the basics of Python programming, including:

  1. Installing Python
  2. Writing your first program
  3. Understanding comments
  4. Working with variables, keywords, and operators

These are essential building blocks to get started with Python coding.


2. Python Data Types

Python offers versatile collections of data types, including:

  1. Numbers
  2. Boolean
  3. Strings
  4. Type Casting
  5. Lists
  6. Tuples
  7. Dictionaries
  8. Sets
  9. Arrays

We'll delve into each of these data types in detail.


3. Python Conditional Statements and Loops

Conditional statements in Python allow you to make decisions based on certain conditions. They enable the program to execute specific code blocks when conditions evaluate to true. Loops let you execute a block of code repeatedly, either for a fixed number of times or until a condition is met. In this section, we'll explore:

  1. Conditional Statements
  2. For Loops
  3. While Loops
  4. Loop control statements (break, continue, pass)
  5. List and dictionary comprehensions

4. Python Functions

Functions are the backbone of organized and efficient code. In this section, we’ll explore their syntax, parameter handling, return values, and variable scope. Key topics include:

  1. The def keyword
  2. The use of the pass statement in functions
  3. Global and local variables
  4. Recursion
  5. *args and **kwargs
  6. The self keyword as a default argument
  7. First-class functions
  8. Lambda functions
  9. Map, Reduce, and Filter functions
  10. Decorators

Happy coding!
