• Guido Van Rossum is a Dutch programmer best
known as the creator of the python programming
language. When he began implementing python,
Guido Van Rossum was also reading the
published scripts from “Monthly Phythan’s Flying
Circus, a BBC comedy series from the 1970’s.
• Van Rossum thought he needed a name that was
short, unique and slightly mysterious, so he
decided to call the language Phythan.

What is Python?
• Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming
language with an elegant syntax that allows programmers to
focus more on problem-solving than on syntax errors. One of
the primary goals of Python Developers is keeping it fun to
use. Python has become a big buzz in the field of
modern software development, infrastructure management,
and especially in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
Most recently, Python has risen to the top 3 list of
TIOBE index of language popularity.
• Python is becoming increasingly ubiquitous, but you must
be wondering why Python has become such a hot topic in the
developers’ world. In this tutorial, you will understand all
reasons behind Python’s popularity.

• It is often used as a “Scripting language ” for
web applications. This means that it can
automate specific serious of tasks, making it
more efficient. Consequently python is often
used in software applications, pages within
web browser, the shells of operating systems
and same games.
What is python mainly used for?

Why is python so popular?
• More productive. First and foremost reason
why python is so much popular is so much
popular because it is highly productive as
compare to other programming language like
C++ and JAVA, etc. Python is also very famous
for its simple programming syntax, code
readability and English like commands that
make coding in python lot easier and efficient.

Step 1: Download Python 3.9.1
• To start, go to python.org/downloads and then click on the
button to download the latest version of Python:

Step 2: Run the .exe file
• Next, run the .exe file that you just
downloaded:

Step 3: Install Python 3.9.1
• You can now start the installation of Python by clicking
on Install Now:

IDLE: Integrated Development and
Learning Environment

OUTPUT: Immediate mode
• >>> indicates ‘Prompt’

• This is how the syntax would look like in the
“untitled” box:

• Press F5 on your keyboard. You will then get the
following message to save your code:
• Click on ‘OK’ to save the file
• Choose a location where the Python file will be
saved on your computer. You’ll also need to type
a name for your file. For example, type “Test” for
your file name:

Save the File Name
• It Save as “Test.py”
• “.py” indicates ‘Extension’
• Once you’re done, press Save, and you’ll then see the “Hello
World” expression printed on your Python Shell:

Python Shell:
• It gives the output as “Hello world”

INSTALLING PACKAGES FOR PYTHON
• 1. Go to search and type: cmd command
prompt or windows powershell is opened
• 2. Type: python -m pip install --upgrade pip
• 3. pip install numpy
• 4. pip install sympy
• 5. pip install matplotlib
• 6. pip install scipy

What is PIP?
• PIP is a package manager for Python packages.
• Pip is one of the most famous and widely used
package management system to install and
manage software packages written in Python
and found in Python Package Index (PyPI). Pip
is a recursive acronym that can stand for
either "Pip Installs Packages" or "Pip Installs
Python". Alternatively, pip stands for
"preferred installer program".

Statements
• Python statements are nothing but logical
instructions that interpreter can read and
execute. It can be both single and multiline.
There are two categories of statements in
Python:
• Expression Statements
• Assignment Statements

Tokens
• Tokens are building blocks of a language. They
are the smallest individual unit of a program.
There are five types of tokens in Python.

Keywords
• Key words: Key words are pre defined words with special
meaning and these are reserved words must not be used as
normal identifier names. These key words consists of False,
True, None, and, or, not, as, is, in, if, elif, else, for, while,
assert, del, break, class, continue, def, except, global, finally,
from, import, lambda, non local, pass, return, try, with, yield.

Identifiers
• Identifiers are the names given to variables,
objects, classes, functions, lists and so on.
• Variables names must not be key words and
must not contain blank spaces.
• Variable names are made up of (A-Z, a-z, 0-9,
underscore_) and must not start with a digit.
Valied variables names are ABCD, abcd, AbCd,
A345, a_bG78, _product.
• Invalid variable names are 6ab, av fd, for, and.

String Literals:
A string literal is a sequence of characters surrounded by quotes. We
can use both single, double or triple quotes for a string. And, a
character literal is a single character surrounded by single or double
quotes.
Numeric Literals:
Numeric Literals are immutable (unchangeable). Numeric literals
can belong to 3 different numerical types Integer, Float, and
Complex.
Boolean Literals:
A Boolean literal can have any of the two values: True or False.
Collection literals:
There are four different literal collections List literals, Tuple literals,
Dict literals, and Set literals.
Special literals:
Python contains one special literal i.e. None. We use it to specify to
that field that is not created.

Punctuators or Separators
• ‘ indicates single quote
• “ indicates double quote
• # indicates for comment
• indicates backslash
• ( ) indicates parentheses
• [ ] indicates square brackets
• { } indicates braces
• : indicates colon
• , indicates comma

Input and Output Statement
• Input statement : input() is used to input string, int(input()) is
used to input integer and float(input()) is used to input floating
value.
• Output statement:
• print statement :
• a=2
• b=3
• The print statement is a function its general form is
• Print(‘this is’,a,’that is’,b)
• Where a and b are pre assigned variable names. If the above
statement is executed the output will be as , this is 2 that is 3,
anything written between two single quotes or between two
double quotes are considered as string.

Lists, Tuple and Functions
Lists: Lists are defined as a= [ 1,2,3,4], indexing start
with 0 i.e. a[0]=1,a[1]=2,a[2[=3, a[3]=4. The elements
of the list may be any data type and are mutable.
Tuple : Tuples are the group of any data types separated
by commas and are enclosed in parenthesis.The
elements of tuple are immutable.
Example: a=(1,2,3), b=( ‘a’,2,”C”).
Functions : Functions are defined as
def name(arguments):
return expression
Example:
def f(x,y):
return x+y+2

Arithmetic Operators
Arithmetic Operators Operator Name Description Example

I=40, J=20
>>>I+ J
>>>60
- Subtraction Perform Subtraction
I=40, J=20
>>>I – J
>>>20

>>>I /J
>>> 2.5
% Modulus
Perform remainder after
Division
I=40, J=20
>>>I /J
>>> 0
** Exponent

(power) calculation
I=4, J=20
>>>I /J
>>> 204
// Floor Division
Perform division
remove the decimal
value and return
Quotient value
I=30, J=20
>>>I//J
>>> 1

Assignment Operators
Operator Operator Name Description Example
= Assignment It assigns value from
right side operand to
left side operand
I = 40
It assigns 40 to I
+= Add then assign It performs addition
and then result is
assigned to left hand
operand
I+=J
that means I = I + J
-= Subtract then assign It performs
subtraction and then
result is assigned to
left hand operand
I-=J
that means I = I – J
*= Multiply the assign It performs
multiplication and
then result is assigned
to left hand operand.
I*=J
that means I = I * J
/= Divide then assign It performs division
and then result is
operand
I/=J
that means I = I / J
%= Modulus then assign It performs modulus
and then result is
operand
I%=J
that means I = I % J
**= Exponent then assign It performs exponent
and then result is
operand
I**=J
that means I = I ** J
//= Floor division then
assign
It performs floor
division and then
result is assigned to
left hand operand
I//=J
that means I = I // J

Comparison operator
== Equal to If the values of two
operands are equal,
then it returns true.
I = 20, J = 20
(I == J) is True
!= Not Equal to If the values of two
operands are not
equal, then it returns
true.
I = 20, J = 20
(I != J) is False
< Less than If the value of left
operand is less than
the value of right
operand, then it
returns true
I = 40, J = 20
(I < J) is False
> Greater than If the value of left
operand is greater
than the value of right
operand, then it
returns true
I= 40, J = 20
(I > J) is True
<= Less than or equal to If the value of left
operand is less than or
equal to the value of
right operand, then it
returns true
I = 40, J = 20
(I <= J) is False
>= Greater than or equal
to
If the value of left
operand is greater
than or equal to the
value of right
operand, then it
returns true.
I = 40, J = 20
(I >= J) is True
<> Not equal to (similar
to !=)
If values of two
operands are not
equal, then condition
becomes true
I=40, J = 20
(I <> J) is True.

• Comparison operator is also known as
Relational Operators because it compares the
values. After comparison, it returns the
Boolean value i.e. either true or false.

Bitwise Operators
• It performs bit by bit operation.
Suppose there are two variables,
I = 10 and
J = 20
and their binary values are:
I = 10 = 0000 1010
J = 20 = 0001 0100
now let us see how bitwise operators perform.

& Binary AND If both bits are 1 then
1 otherwise 0
I & J
0000 0000
| Binary OR If one of the bit is 1
then 1 otherwise 0
I | J
0001 1110
^ Binary XOR If both bit are same,
then 0 otherwise 1
I ^ J
0001 1110
~ Binary Complement If bit is 1 the make it
0 and if bit is 0 the
make it 1
~I
1111 0101
<< Binary Left Shift The left operands are
moved left by the
number of bits
specified by the right
operand.
I << 2
240 i.e. 1111 0000
>> Binary Right Shift The left operands are
moved right by the
number of bits
specified by the right
operand.
I >> 2
15 i.e. 1111

Membership Operators
Operator Description Example
in It returns true if it finds a
variable in the sequence
otherwise returns false
List = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
i=1
if i in List:
print(‘i is available in list’)
else:
print(‘i is not available in list’)
Output – i is available in list
not in It returns true if it does not
find a variable in the
sequence otherwise returns
false
List = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
j=10
if j not in List:
print (‘j is not available in list’)
else:
print (‘j is available in list’)
Output – j is not available in list

Identity Operators
• These operators are used to compare the
memory address of two objects.
Operator Description Example
is It returns true if both operand ‘s
identity is same otherwise false
I = 20
J = 20
if(I is J):
print (‘I and J have same identity’)
else:
print (‘I and J have not same identity’)
Output – I and J have same identity
is not It returns true if both operand ‘s
identity is not same otherwise
false
I = 20
J = 230
if(I is not J):
print (‘I and J have not same identity’)
else:
print (‘I and J have same identity’)
Output – I and J have not same identity

Logical Operators
and Logical AND When Both side
condition is true the
result is true
otherwise false
2<1 and 2<3
False
or Logical OR When at least one
condition is true then
result is true
otherwise false
2<1 or 2<3
True
not Logical NOT Reverse the condition Not (5>4)
False

Python Conditional Statements
• if statement
• if else statement
• nested if statement
• for loop
• while loop

for loop
The syntax of for loop is
for i in range(n):
S1
S2
S3
print()
First time i is initialized to zero and all the statements in the body of for loop(i.e.
S1,S2,S3) are executed once, then i increased by 1, again all the statements in the
body are executed, again i increased by 1 and the process continues ,when i reaches n
then the control comes out of for loop and the next statement (in this case it is the
print statement) is executed ( I takes the values from 0 to n-1).
for i in range(1,n):
S1
S2
S3
print()
In this case i start with 1and takes the values up to n-1.
for i in range(1,n,2):
S1
S2
S3
print()
In this case i start with 1 and takes the values less than n with increment 2.

while loop
The syntax of while loop is
while condition:
S1
S2
S3
print()
The while loop is executed as long as condition is true
if the condition is false then the control comes out of
the loop and the next statement is executed.
