Python 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:
