Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It is widely used in web development, data science, artificial intelligence, automation, and more.

Why Learn Python?

• Easy to Learn: Simple syntax similar to English.
• Versatile: Used for web development, automation, AI, data science, etc.
• Large Community: Many resources and support available.
• Extensive Libraries: Offers libraries for various tasks like NumPy (scientific computing), Pandas (data analysis), TensorFlow (AI), Flask (web development), and more.

Basic Syntax

1. Printing Output

   print("Hello, World!")
   

2. Variables & Data Types

   name = "Alice"   # String
   age = 25         # Integer
   height = 5.6     # Float
   is_student = True # Boolean
   

3. Data Structures

   my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]       # List
   my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)      # Tuple
   my_set = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}        # Set
   my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25} # Dictionary
   

4. Conditional Statements

   age = 18
   if age >= 18:
       print("You are an adult.")
   else:
       print("You are a minor.")
   

5. Loops

   # For Loop
   for i in range(5):
       print(i)
   
   # While Loop
   count = 0
   while count < 5:
       print(count)
       count += 1
   

6. Functions

   def greet(name):
       return f"Hello, {name}!"
   
   print(greet("Alice"))
   

Next Steps

• Learn about Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python.
• Explore file handling, error handling, and database operations.
• Work on projects like web scraping, data analysis, and machine learning.
