This document provides an introduction to Python, detailing its features, installation process, and basic concepts such as data types, syntax, and the print function. Python, created by Guido van Rossum, is a high-level programming language noted for its simplicity and readability. The document also covers tools like IDLE and Visual Studio Code, which facilitate the coding process.

3. Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language
known for its simplicity and readability. It allows developers to write
clear and concise code, making it easier to learn and use.

4. Python was created by Guido
van Rossum, a Dutch programmer,
in the late 1980s. He released the
first version of Python in 1991.

12. To install Python, first, visit the official website at
python.org and download the latest version of Python for your
operating system. Once the download is complete, run the
installer and make sure to check the box that says "Add
Python to PATH" before proceeding with the installation.
Installing Python

13. The latest stable version of Python as of October 2024 is
Python 3.12.1.

14. IDLE stands for “Integrated Development and Learning
Environment”, is a simple, easy-to-use interface for writing
and running Python code. It includes a code editor with
features like syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and an
interactive shell that allows real-time code execution and
testing.

The code editor in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a
lightweight, powerful tool designed for writing and editing
code.

19. Integrated Development and

The terminal in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is an
integrated command-line interface that allows users to
execute commands directly within the editor.

20. Data types are classifications that specify the type of
value, determining how the data can be used and
manipulated.
Data Types

21. Python provides several built-in data types to work with,
such as strings, integers, floats, booleans, lists, tuples,
dictionaries, and sets. Each of these types serves a specific
purpose, allowing you to handle different types of data
efficiently.

22. Python provides several built-in data types to work with,
such as strings, integers, floats, booleans, lists, tuples,
dictionaries, and sets. Each of these types serves a specific
purpose, allowing you to handle different types of data
efficiently.
Data Types

23. A String in Python is a sequence of characters enclosed
in quotes, either single (') or double ("). Strings can include
letters, numbers, symbols, and spaces.
Example: “Hello Students!”
String

24. An Integer in Python is a data type that represents
whole numbers without any decimal points. Integers can be
positive, negative, or zero. They are used for counting,
indexing, and performing arithmetic operations.
Example: 1 , 2 , 5, -1 , -2, -100, 96
Integer

25. A Float in Python is a data type used to represent
decimal numbers or real numbers. It allows for more precise
calculations than integers, as it can store values that include a
fractional component.
Example: 1.5 , 2.99 , 5.001, -1.5 , -2.490, -100.0999, 96.7
Float

26. A Boolean in Python is a data type that represents one
of two possible values: True or False
Boolean

27. The set of rules that defines how code must be written
for the Python interpreter to understand it. It includes the
proper arrangement of keywords, operators, and punctuation.
Syntax

28. The print() function in Python is used to display output
to the console or terminal. It takes one or more arguments,
which can be strings, numbers, or variables, and prints them
as text.
EXAMPLE: print(“Hello Students!”)
OUTPUT: Hello Students!
Print function (print())

29. Python has built in math operations that allow you to
perform calculations using numerical data types.
EXAMPLE: print(1+1)
OUTPUT: 2

31. Variables in Python are used to store data values. They
act as containers that hold information, allowing you to
reference and manipulate that data throughout your code.
EXAMPLE: name = “Daniel Padilla”
print(name)
OUTPUT: Daniel Padilla
Variables
