Python Programming Language

Beginning with Python programming:

1) Finding an Interpreter:
Before we start Python programming, we need to have an interpreter to interpret and
run our programs. There are certain online interpreters
like https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/ or https://www.online-python.com/ or
https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_compiler.asp or http://ideone.com/ or
http://codepad.org/ that can be used to run Python programs without installing an
interpreter.

Windows: There are many interpreters available freely to run Python scripts like IDLE
(Integrated Development Environment) that comes bundled with the Python software
downloaded from https://www.python.org/downloads/ or
https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#section=windows
You can download the latest version Python 3 from the above link.

macOS: You can install Python 3.13 from https://www.python.org/downloads/

Steps to be followed and remembered:
Step 1: Select Version of Python to Install.
Step 2: Download Python Executable Installer.
Step 3: Run Executable Installer.
Step 4: Verify Python Was Installed On Windows.

Your first Python Program

Save your Program

Go ahead and save your program to a file called hello.py. This is typically done
using the editor's File > Save or similar.
Run your Program
Here's how to run the program:

1. Run the file. How to do this will depend on your editor and platform.
o In IDLE, try Run > Run Module (shortcut F5).
EXAMPLES
Creating a Comment
Comments starts with a #, and Python will ignore them:

2) Example: 2
#This is a comment
print("Hello, World!")

3) Example :3
If you want to print the name of five countries, you can write:

print("USA")
print("Canada")
print("Germany")
print("France")
print("Japan")

4) Example: 4
Get String input from user
In this program we will see how to receive NAME input from user in Python.
name = input('What is your name?\n')
print ("My name is: ", name )

5) Example: 5
To enter name, age, subject etc.
name = input(“What is your name?”)
subject = input(“What is your favourite subject?”)
age = int(input(“What is your age?”))
print("My name is: ", name )
print("My subject is: ", subject )
print("My age is: ", age)
 Python Variables
A variable is a named location used to store data in the memory. It is helpful to think
of variables as a container that holds data that can be changed later in the program.
For example,

number = 10
Here, we have created a variable named number . We have assigned the value 10 to
the variable.
Rules for creating variables in Python:
 A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character.
 A variable name cannot start with a number.
 A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and
underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ ).
 Variable names are case-sensitive (name, Name and NAME are three
different variables).
 The reserved words(keywords) cannot be used naming the variable.
Assigning values to Variables in Python

As you can see from the above example, you can use the assignment operator = to
assign a value to a variable.
Example 1: Declaring and assigning value to a variable
website = "apple.com"
print(website)

Output
apple.com

In the above program, we assigned a value apple.com to the variable website . Then,
we printed out the value assigned to website i.e. apple.com

Example 2: Changing the value of a variable

website = "apple.com"
print(website)

# assigning a new value to website

website = "programiz.com"

print(website)
Output

apple.com
programiz.com

In the above program, we have assigned apple.com to the website variable initially.
Then, the value is changed to programiz.com .

Example 3: Assigning multiple values to multiple variables

a, b, c = 5, 3.2, "Hello"

print (a)
print (b)
print (c)

If we want to assign the same value to multiple variables at once, we can do this as:

x = y = z = "same"
print (x)
print (y)
print (z)

The second program assigns the same string to all the three variables x , y and z .
Constants
A constant is a type of variable whose value cannot be changed. It is helpful to think
of constants as containers that hold information which cannot be changed later.You
can think of constants as a bag to store some books which cannot be replaced once
placed inside the bag.

Assigning value to constant in Python

Example 1: Declaring and assigning value to a constant

PI = 3.14
GRAVITY = 9.8

print(PI)
print(GRAVITY)

Output

3.14
9.8
 More Codes for learning
1)Let’s see the simple variable creation:

# An integer assignment
age = 45

# A floating point
salary = 1456.8

# A string
name = "John"

print(age)
print(salary)
print(name)

RESULT
45
1456.8
John
2) Variable type in Python:
# numberic
var = 123
print("Numbric data : ", var)

# Sequence Type
String1 = 'Welcome to the Python-DS World'
print("String with the use of Single Quotes: ")
print(String1)

3) Code to ask from the user two numbers and then find a Sum
and Average of it. Display the results as well.
num1 = int(input('Enter first number'))
num2 = int(input('Enter second number'))
total = num1+num2
average = total/2
print('The sum is:',total)
print('The average is:',average)

4) Write a Python program which accepts the radius of a circle

from the user and compute the area.
from math import pi
r = float (input ("Input the radius of the circle : "))
area = pi * r**2
print ("The area of the circle with radius " + str(r) + " is: " + str(area))
5) Write a Python program which accepts the length and breadth of a
rectangle from the user and calculate the area.
length = int(input ("Input the length of the rectangle: "))
breadth = int(input ("Input the breadth of the rectangle: "))
area = length * breadth
print ("The area of the rectangle is : ", area)

6) Input two number and output which number is greater.

7) Write a program to find the square of any number. [hint: take a

number from the user and put ** for a square].

a = int(input('Enter the number'))

square = a**2
print("the answer is:",square)

Coding time
Now it’s time for you to write your own codes.

1. Write a program that ask from the user his/her name and age and the print it.
2. Write a code in Python that ask from the user three numbers and then find a
sum of it. Print your sum as well.
3. Write a program to find the cube of any number. [hint: take a number from the
user and put ** for a cube].
4. Write a Python program which accepts the base and height of a parallelogram
from the user and calculate the area and perimeter and print the results.
5. Input any number and output either the number is negative or positive. [hint:
take one variable and use if-elif statement and compare from zero]
6. Input any number and output either the number is even or odd. [hint: Use if else
command and use % for finding remainder]
