Basic Knowledge on Python
Introduction
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity, readability, and
versatility. It is widely used for web development, data analysis, machine learning, automation, and
more.
Key Features of Python
• Easy to Learn and Read: Python has a simple syntax similar to English.
• Interpreted Language: No need for compilation, code runs directly.
• Dynamically Typed: No need to declare variable types explicitly.
• Extensive Libraries: Python has a rich collection of libraries and frameworks.
• Cross-Platform: Python runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more.
Basic Concepts
• Variables: Used to store data values. Example: x = 10
• Data Types: Common types include int, float, str, list, tuple, dict.
• Control Structures: if-else, for loops, while loops control program flow.
• Functions: Blocks of reusable code defined using 'def'.
• Modules: Files containing Python code that can be imported and reused.
Example Code
# This is a simple Python program def greet(name): print(f"Hello,
{name}!") greet("World")
