  Introduction to PythonProgramming • Python is a high-level programming language known for its simplicity and readability. • It supports multiple programming paradigms such as procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. • Python is widely used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing.
• 3.
  Variables in Python •Variables are containers for storing data values in Python. • A variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it. • You can assign a value to a variable using the assignment operator "=". • Variables in Python are dynamically typed, meaning you don't have to explicitly declare the data type. • If you want to specify the data type of a variable, this can be done with casting.
• 4.
  Data Types inPython • Python has various built-in data types including integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets. • You can use the type() function to determine the data type of a variable. • Python also supports type conversion functions like int(), float(), str(), list(), tuple(), set(), and dict().
• 5.
  Numeric Data Typesin Python • Numeric data types in Python include integers, floats etc • Python supports arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modulus on numeric data types.
• 6.
  Strings in Python •Strings are sequences of characters enclosed in single, double, or triple quotes in Python. • You can use multiline strings using three quotation marks. • You can perform various operations on strings like concatenation, slicing, formatting, and methods like upper(), lower(), strip(), replace(), and join(). • Some other functionalities i.e.concatenation, escape characters • You can access strings as arrays
• 7.
  Lists and Tuplesin Python • Lists and tuples are ordered collections of items in Python. • Lists are mutable, while tuples are immutable. • You can perform operations like indexing, slicing, appending, inserting, and removing elements in lists and tuples.
• 8.
  Dictionaries and Setsin Python • Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs in Python. • Sets are unordered collections of unique elements. • Both dictionaries and sets are highly efficient for data retrieval and manipulation operations.
• 9.
  Loops in Python •Python supports two types of loops: for loop and while loop. • The for loop is used for iterating over a sequence like lists, tuples, strings, or dictionaries. • The while loop is used for executing a block of code as long as a specified condition is true.
• 10.
  Functions in Python •Functions are blocks of reusable code that perform a specific task. • You can define functions using the def keyword followed by the function name and parameters. • Python functions can return a value using the return statement and can have default arguments and keyword arguments.
• 11.
  Conclusion • Python programmingoffers a wide range of features and functionalities for developing various applications. • Understanding variables, data types, loops, and functions is crucial for mastering Python programming. • Continuous practice and exploration of Python's vast ecosystem will enhance your programming skills and problem-solving abilities.
