Installing a Python Interpreter
• Interpreter is needed to execute Python programs
• Windows
• Download Python from python.org
• Comes with IDLE, an Integrated Development Environment suitable for beginners.
• Linux
• Most distributions come with Python preinstalled.
• Check version by typing python3 in the terminal.
• macOS
• Typically includes Python 2.7 by default.
• Download Python 3 from python.org for the latest features and compatibility.
• Online Interpreters
• For quick experiments and learning, use online interpreters like GeeksforGeeks IDE.
First Python Program
• print("Hello, Python World!")
• print() is a built-in function, used to display messages or
results on the console
• output 
Evolution of Python
Creation
• Created by Guido van Rossum and released in
1991.
• Focus on code readability and simplicity.
1991
Growth
• Gained popularity for web development with
frameworks like Django and Flask.
• Emphasis on open-source contribution and
community support.
Early 2000s
Data Science and AI Boom
• Became a preferred language for data science,
machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
• Libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and TensorFlow
contributed to its growth.

Java
Features Python Java
Typing Dynamically Typed Statically Typed
Syntax Concise, Uses indentation Verbose, uses braces
Flexibility Flexible and easy to
modify
Strict and rigid
structure
Python vs Java Codes:
• Python
print("Hello, world!")
• Java
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}
Applications of Python
Web Development
Frameworks like
Django and Flask
make web
development easy.
Data Science
Libraries like NumPy,
Pandas, and
Matplotlib are
powerful tools for
data analysis.

YouTube
Dropbox
used extensively
in Dropbox’s
backend
NASA
Utilizes Python
for various
scientific and
computational
tasks.

and algorithm
development
Getting Started
• Basic Python Code:
Variables in Python
• Dynamic Typing
• No need for explicit variable declarations.
• Type is determined by the value assigned.
• Naming Conventions
• Variable names should be descriptive.
• Use underscores to separate words (e.g., my_variable).
• Assignment
• Use the = operator to assign values.
• Multiple assignments are possible (e.g., x, y = 5, 10).
Comments in Python
• Single-line comment
• use #
• Multi-line comment
• use “”” your comment “””
User Input
• Normal Input:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
• Inputs with Conversion:
num1 = int(input("Enter the first number: "))
num2 = int(input("Enter the second number: "))
product = num1 * num2
print(f"The product is: {product}")
Conditional Statements
• if-else
age = 18
if age >= 18:
print("You are an adult.")
else:
print("You are a minor.")
Functions
• Functions in Python allow you to encapsulate code for reuse and
better organization.
• ex.
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
greet("Python")
Loops
• Loops are used to execute a block of code repeatedly.
• For Loop
for i in range(5):
print(i) # Output: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Modules and Libraries
• Python’s standard library provides a wealth of modules for various
tasks.
• Example: Importing a Module
# Using the math module
import math
result = math.sqrt(25)
print(result) # Output: 5.0
