🧠 What is Coding?
Coding means giving instructions to a computer to perform a specific task.
It's like talking to a machine using a language it understands.
💬 What is a Programming Language?
A programming language is a special language used to write code. Examples:
Python, Java, C++, JavaScript.
Think of it like this:
Humans speak Hindi or English.
Computers understand Python, Java, etc.
🐍 Why Learn Python First?
Simple and easy to read.
Looks like English.
Used in web dev, AI, automation, data science, etc.
🔤 First Python Program
python
CopyEdit
print("Hello, World!")
Output:
CopyEdit
Hello, World!
📝 print() is used to show output on the screen.
📌 Basic Concepts You Should Know:
Concept Meaning Example
Variable A container to store data name = "Aditya"
Data Types Type of data stored (number, text, etc.) int, str, float, bool
String Text data "hello" or 'hi'
Integer Whole numbers 5, 100, -23
Float Decimal numbers 3.14, 2.0
Boolean True or False values True, False
Comments Notes inside code (ignored by computer) # This is a comment
🧠 Simple Math in Python
python
CopyEdit
a = 10
b=5
print(a + b) # Addition
print(a - b) # Subtraction
print(a * b) # Multiplication
print(a / b) # Division
🧠 What is a Variable?
A variable is like a box that stores some value.
You give it a name and store data inside it.
🧠 Explanation:
name is the variable.
"Aditya" is the value (string).
= is the assignment operator (it stores the value).
🔢 Common Data Types in Python
Data Type Meaning Example
int Integer (whole num) 10, -5, 0
float Decimal number 3.14, 2.0
str Text (string) "hello", '123'
bool True/False values True, False
🛠️ Type Checking in Python
x = 10
print(type(x)) # Output: <class 'int'>
⌨️ Taking Input from the User
input() function lets you take data from the user at runtime.
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello", name)
🔍 By default, input is always taken as a string.
🔄 Type Conversion
Converting one data type to another.
age = input("Enter your age: ")
age = int(age) # converting string to int
print("Your age after 5 years will be:", age + 5)
🧠 Use int(), float(), str() to convert types.
🚫 Common Error to Avoid
age = input("Enter age: ")
print(age + 5) # ❌ Error: can't add string and int
Fix:
age = int(input("Enter age: "))
print(age + 5) # ✅ Works fine
🧠 Live Practice Ideas
Ask the user to input their name and print it.
1. Take two numbers as input and print their sum.
2. Take age as input and print "You will be ___ years old after 10 years."
3. Print the data type of any input using type().
