    Chapter 1 - Getting Started with Python

    Introduction

    Python is a versatile and beginner-friendly programming language

    That’s widely used in many areas, including web development,

    Data science, artificial intelligence, and more. 

    In this chapter, we’ll cover the basics of installing Python, setting up your development environment, and writing your first Python script

    1.1 Installing Python

    To start coding in Python, you need to install the Python interpreter

    On your computer. Follow these steps to install Python:

    1. Go to the official Python website: python.org

    2. Download the latest version of Python.

    3. Run the installer and follow the instructions. Make sure to check the box that says

    Add Python to PATH.

    1.2 Python IDEs and Tools

    An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) can make coding in

    Python easier by providing features like syntax highlighting, code

    Completion, and debugging tools. Some popular PythonIDEs include:

    PyCharm: A powerful IDE for Python with many features, suitable for

    large projects.

    Jupiter Notebook: An interactive environment perfect for data science

    and experimentation.

    VS Code: A lightweight but powerful code editor with Python support.

    Installing VS Code:

    Download VS Code from code.visualstudio.com

    Install the Python extension from the Extension marketplace for

    added Python support.

    1.3 Writing and Running Your First Python Script

    Let’s write a simple Python script that prints Hello, World! To the console

    1.  Open your IDE: Launch preferred IDE or a text editor.

    2.  Write the Code: Type the following code:

    print(Hello, World)

    3.  Save the File: Save the file with a .py extension, for example, hello.py.

    4. Run the Script: Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the 

    directory where you saved the file, and run:

    python hello.py  and press enter

    You should see the output: 

    Hello, World!

    1.4 Basic Python Syntax 

    Variables and Data Types:

    Variables are used to store data. Python supports various data

    types, such as integers, floats, string, and booleans.

    x = 5                       #  Integer

    y = 3.14                  #  Float

    name = Alice      #  String

    is_student = True # Boolean

    Basic Operations:

    Python supports arithmetic operations such as addition,

    subtraction, multiplication, and division.

    a = 10

    B = 3

    print(a + b)  # 13

    print(a - b)  #  7

    print(a * b)  #  30

    print(a /  b)  #  3. 3.3333

    Control Structures:

    Python uses control structures like if, for, and while to control the flow of   

    the program.

    # If statement

    If a > b:

    print(a is greater than b)

    # For loop

    for i in range (5):

    print(i)

    # While loop

    count = 0

    while count < 5:

    print(count)

    count  +=  1

    1.5 Functions and Modules

    Defining Functions:

    Functions are reusable blocks of code.  Define a function using the def    

    keyword.

    def greet(name):

    print(f"Hello,

    {name}!")

    greet(Alice).    # Output:

    Hello, Alice!
