IntroductionPython is a popular programming language known for its simplicity and versatility. In this chapter,
we will go over the basics of Python programming, including data types, variables, and functions.
Data Types and Variables
Python has several built-in data types, including:
Integers (e.g. 3, -15)
Floating point numbers (e.g. 3.14, -0.5)
Strings (e.g. "hello", 'world')
Booleans (e.g. True, False)
You can assign values to variables in Python like this:
x=3
y = 3.14
name = "Alice"
is_student = True
Functions
In Python, you can define your own functions using the def keyword. Here's an example:
def greet(name):
print("Hello, " + name)
greet("Bob") # prints "Hello, Bob"
You can also define functions that return values. Here's an example:
def add(x, y):
return x + y
result = add(3, 4) # result is now 7
Control Flow
, Python has several control flow statements, including if, for, and while. Here's an example of each:
# if statement
if result > 5:
print("Result is greater than 5")
# for loop
for i in range(5):
print(i)
# while loop
i=0
while i < 5:
print(i)
i += 1
Conclusion
In this chapter, we covered the basics of Python programming, including data types, variables, and
functions. With this knowledge, you can start writing your own Python programs!

Python for Everybody
"Python is an easy and intuitive language that is great for beginners, but also powerful enough for
experienced programmers. With its simple syntax and vast ecosystem of libraries, Python is a
popular choice for web development, data analysis, machine learning, and more." - David Beazley,
Python expert and author
Introduction
In this chapter, we will set up our Python and code editor environment to ensure a smooth learning
journey. We will use Anaconda, a free and open-source distribution of Python and R programming
languages for scientific computing, that aims to simplify package management and deployment.
