WHAT IS PYTHON?
Python is a simple, general purpose, high level, and object-oriented
programming language.

Python is an interpreted scripting language also. Guido Van Rossum is

known as the founder of Python programming.

It is used for:

web development,
software development,
mathematics,
system scripting.
FEATURES OF PYTHON
1) Easy to Learn and Use
2) Expressive Language
3) Interpreted Language
4) Cross-platform Language
5) Free and Open Source
6) Object-Oriented Language

PYTHON COMMENTS
Comments can be used to explain Python code.
Comments can be used to make the code more readable.

TWO TYPES OF COMMENTS: EXAMPLE

SINGLE LINE COMMENT MULTILINE COMMENT
PYTHON VARIABLES
Variables are containers for storing data values.
RULES FOR PYTHON VARIABLES
A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character

A variable name cannot start with a number

A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and

underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )

Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are three different
variables)

A variable name cannot be any of the Python Keywords.

RULES FOR PYTHON VARIABLES
PYTHON VARIABLES -ASSIGN MULTIPLE
VALUES
1. Many Values to Multiple Variables
Python allows you to assign values to multiple variables in one line:
PYTHON VARIABLES -ASSIGN MULTIPLE
VALUES
2. One Value to Multiple Variables
And you can assign same value to multiple variables in one line:
PYTHON-OUTPUT VARIABLES
The Python print() function is often used to output variables.

In the print() function, output multiple variables, separated by a

comma:
PYTHON-GLOBAL VARIABLES
Variables that are created outside of a function are known as global variables.

A function is a block of code which only runs when it is called.

PYTHON DATA TYPES
PYTHON NUMBERS
Number stores numeric values. The integer, float, and complex values
belong to a Python Numbers data-type.

Python provides the type() function to know the data-type of the

variable.
STRING
A “string” is a data type in Python, composed of a collection of
characters.
Strings in python are surrounded by either single quotation marks, or
double quotation marks.
'hello' is the same as "hello".
PYTHON SLICING
Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return
a part of the string.

1. Slice From the Start

• By leaving out the start index, the range will start at the first character:
PYTHON SLICING STRINGS
2. Slice To the End
By leaving out the end index, the range will go to the end:

3. Negative Indexing
Use negative indexes to start the slice from the end of the string:
PYTHON MODIFY STRINGS
1. Upper Case : The upper() method returns the string in upper case.

2. Lower Case : The lower() method returns the string in lower case.

PYTHON MODIFY STRINGS
3. Remove Whitespace : The strip() method removes any whitespace from
the beginning or the end.
PYTHON STRING CONCATENATION

To concatenate, or combine, two strings you can use the + operator.
FORMAT STRINGS
Use the format() method to insert numbers into strings:
