Python basics cover the fundamental concepts and features of the Python language that you need to know to get started with Python programming.
The main topics covered in Python basics are:
1. Syntax
Python uses fairly conventional syntax with some unique features like indentation for code blocks instead of curly braces.
The basic syntax includes:
Variables
Strings
Numbers
Booleans
Comments
Type conversion
2. Operators
Python supports common operators like:
Comparison operators (==, !=, >, <, >=, <=)
Logical operators (and, or, not)
3. Control Flow
Python supports various constructs for control flow:
if/else statements
for loops
while loops
break
continue
pass
4. Functions
Functions allow you to decompose your code into reusable chunks. Python basics cover:
Defining functions
Default arguments
Keyword arguments
Recursive functions
Lambda expressions
Docstrings
5. Data Structures
Python has several built-in data structures:
Lists
Tuples
Dictionaries
Sets
6. Exception Handling
Python uses the try/except statement to catch and handle exceptions.
7. Modules
Modules allow you to organize your Python code. The basics include:
Importing modules
Module search path
The
__name__variablePackages
8. File I/O
Python provides many functions to read and write files.
