Introduction
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 de ne 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 de ne functions that return values.
Here's an example:
fi fi
