INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON

 History and evolution


 Installing Python and setting up the environment
 Your first Python program

PYTHON

Python is an interpreted and object-oriented programming language.

Interpreted: -

Interpreted in simple terms means running code line by line. It also


means that the instruction is executed without earlier compiling the whole
program into machine language.

The source code of a python program is converted into byte code that is
then executed by the python virtual machine.

Bytecode: It is type of a code that is intermediate from source code and


machine code.

(or)

It is computer object code that an interpreter converts into binary


machine and so it can be read by a computer ‘s hardware processor.

Object oriented programming language

Because it uses classes, objects and other oop concepts.

History and evolution of PYTHON

Python was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. It
was designed to emphasize code readability and simplicity. Over the
years, Python has evolved through major versions:

Python 1.x: Initial release focused on basic functionality.

Python 2.x: Introduced significant improvements but eventually


deprecated.

Python 3.x: Current version with modern features and ongoing support.

Python's widespread adoption is due to its versatility and the active


development of its ecosystem.

Installing Python and Setting Up the Environment

To start coding in Python, follow these steps:

1. Download Python: Visit the official Python website and download


the latest version compatible with your operating system.

2. Install Python: Follow the installation instructions for your


platform. Ensure you check the box to add Python to your system's
PATH during installation.

3. Set Up an IDE: Use an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)


like PyCharm or VSCode, or start with the default IDLE that comes
with Python.

4. Verify Installation:

o Open a terminal or command prompt.

o Type python --version or python3 --version to check the


installed version.

Your First Python Program

Write and run your first Python program:

1. Open your IDE or text editor.

2. Create a new file named hello.py.

3. Add the following code:

print("Hello, World!")

Save the file and run it:

In the terminal, navigate to the file's directory and type python hello.py.

Congratulations! You've written your first Python program.

Basic Syntax and Data Types
 Variables and data types
 Operators
 Input and output

Variables and Data Types

Variables in Python are used to store data values. Python is dynamically


typed, meaning you don't need to declare the type of a variable explicitly.

Example:

# Variable declaration

x = 10 # Integer

y = 3.14 # Float

name = "Alice" # String

is_active = True # Boolean

print(x, y, name, is_active)

Common Data Types:

1. int: Integer values (e.g., 5, -10).


2. float: Decimal values (e.g., 3.14, -0.5).
3. str: Text data (e.g., "Hello").
4. bool: Boolean values (True or False).
5. list: Ordered collection (e.g., [1, 2, 3]).
6. tuple: Immutable ordered collection (e.g., (1, 2, 3)).
7. dict: Key-value pairs (e.g., {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}).
8. set: Unordered unique elements (e.g., {1, 2, 3}).

Operators

Python provides a variety of operators to perform operations on variables:

1. Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /, %, **, //

a = 10

b=3

print(a + b) # Addition

print(a ** b) # Exponentiation

2. Comparison Operators: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=

print(a > b) # True

3
print(a == b) # False

3. Logical Operators: and, or, not

print(a > 5 and b < 5) # True

print(not (a > b)) # False

4. Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=

x=5

x += 3 # x = x + 3

print(x) # 8

Input and Output

Python allows user input and provides flexible output formatting.

Example:

# Input

name = input("Enter your name: ")

print("Hello, " + name + "!")

# Output formatting

age = 25

print(f"{name} is {age} years old.")
