In this article, I will focus specifically on syntax, basic constructs, and essential data types.

In this article, I’ll cover essential Python programming elements: syntax rules, indentation for structure, dynamic typing for variable simplicity, and key constructs like statement termination and comments. We’ll also cover fundamental data types !

Like always, if you find my articles interesting, don’t forget to clap and follow 👍🏼, these articles take times and effort to do!

Syntax and Basic Constructs in Python

1 — Syntax : Python syntax refers to the rules and structure used in writing Python code. It defines how statements, expressions, and other constructs are written, formatted, and interpreted by the Python interpreter.

# This is a comment 
print("Hello, Medium!") # This will print Hello, Medium! to the console

2 — Indentation : Python uses whitespace (spaces or tabs) for indentation. Consistent indentation is required to define block-level structure in your code.

# Indentation
if True:
print("This is true")
else:
print("This is false")

3 — Variables: variables do not need explicit declaration. You can assign a value to a variable using the assignment…
