Introduction to Python
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It is widely used for web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, and more. Let's explore some basic features of Python with examples.
Variables and Data Types
Python supports various data types including integers, floats, strings, and lists. Here is an example:
# Python variables and data types
integer_var = 10
float_var = 20.5
string_var = "Hello, Python!"
list_var = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(integer_var)
print(float_var)
print(string_var)
print(list_var)
Control Flow
Python supports conditional statements and loops. Here is an example using an if-else statement and a for loop:
# Python control flow
x = 10
if x > 5:
print("x is greater than 5")
else:
print("x is less than or equal to 5")
for i in range(5):
print(i)
Functions
Functions in Python are defined using the def
keyword. Here is an example:
# Python functions
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"
print(greet("Alice"))
