Chapter 2: Python Basics
2.1 Variables and Data Types
Python supports various data types such as integers, floats, strings, and booleans.
x = 10 # Integer
y = 3.14 # Float
name = "Alice" # String
is_valid = True # Boolean
print(x, y, name, is_valid)
Variables store values and can be reassigned during execution.
2.2 Operators
Operators perform operations on variables.
a = 10
b = 5
print(a + b) # Addition
print(a - b) # Subtraction
print(a * b) # Multiplication
print(a / b) # Division
print(a % b) # Modulus
Arithmetic, comparison, and logical operators are commonly used in Python.
