Hey Folks,

Python is open source programming language. Python is a Popular Programming Language. Let’s start with Python Basics, Before starting with the basics of Python, I have explained “Why You Should Learn Python” in my previous post click here to read that post.

Python Syntax

Comments

This code simply prints Hello World!

comments are represented by #. Comments are used to explainthe code. in the second line of code print() is an inbuilt function. inside print() function whatever you have written that will print on the screen.

Python Indentation

In simple language, Indentations are just the initial space of the line. In Python Programming Language Indentations are mandatory while you are working with loops, functions, and classes. it enhances code readability. Indentation represents a block of code.

above code is an example of indentation. 2nd line of code where indentation is used (initial space of line). if you have not used indentation then Python throws you an error.

Python Variable

Python Variables are created when you want to assign any value, Variables give data to the computer for processing. variables have different datatypes for example a=2 which means the variable name is ‘a’ and the value to its variable is 2 which is of integer type.

string variable which stores string data.

variable float stores floating point value.

there are few rules while declaring variables in Python,

  1. Variable names must start with a letter or underscore character.

2. Variable name only contains alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-Z,0–9 and _).

3. Variable names are case-sensitive.

4. Variable names cannot be any of the Python keywords. Python keywords are those words whose meaning is already decided for example if, for, and, else.

Conclusion

In this journey through Python basics, we’ve uncovered the essential syntax, indentation rules, and the importance of variables in Python programming. Python’s simplicity and readability make it a popular choice among programmers worldwide. By mastering these fundamental concepts, you’ve laid a solid foundation for exploring the vast possibilities that Python offers. As you continue your Python journey, remember to practice writing code, experiment with different concepts, and never stop learning. embrace the power of Python, and let your programming adventures begin!
