1️⃣ INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON
Definition
Python is a high-level, interpreted, general-purpose programming language known for its simple syntax, readability, and wide range of applications such as web development, data science, AI, automation, and software development.
Features
- Easy to learn & write
- Interpreted language
- Platform independent
- Object-Oriented
- Open source
- Large standard library
Applications
- Web Development
- Data Science & AI
- Machine Learning
- Automation & Scripting
- Game Development
2️⃣ PYTHON INSTALLATION & SETUP
- Install from python.org
- Check version:
python --version - Python IDEs: IDLE, VS Code, PyCharm, Jupyter Notebook
3️⃣ BASIC SYNTAX & VARIABLES
Definition
A variable is a container used to store data values in memory.
x = 10
name = "Python"
Rules
- No need to declare data type
- Case-sensitive
- Cannot start with number
4️⃣ DATA TYPES IN PYTHON
Definition
Data types define the type of data stored in a variable.
Built-in Data Types
int– Integer numbersfloat– Decimal numberscomplex– Complex numbersstr– Stringbool– True/Falselisttuplesetdict
a = 10
b = 10.5
c = "Hello"
5️⃣ TYPE CASTING
Definition
Converting one data type into another.
x = int(10.5)
y = str(100)
6️⃣ OPERATORS
Definition
Operators are symbols used to perform operations.
Types of Operators
- Arithmetic (
+ - * / %) - Relational (
== != > <) - Logical (
and or not) - Assignment (
= += -=) - Bitwise (
& | ^) - Membership (
in,not in) - Identity (
is,is not)
7️⃣ INPUT & OUTPUT
name = input("Enter name: ")
print("Hello", name)
8️⃣ CONTROL STATEMENTS
Definition
Used to control the flow of execution.
Conditional Statements
ifif-elseelif
if age > 18:
print("Adult")
9️⃣ LOOPS IN PYTHON
Definition
Loops are used to execute a block of code repeatedly.
Types
for loopwhile loop
for i in range(5):
print(i)
🔟 JUMP STATEMENTS
breakcontinuepass
1️⃣1️⃣ STRINGS
Definition
A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in quotes.
s = "Python"
String Operations
- Indexing
- Slicing
- Concatenation
- String methods (
upper(),lower(),split())
1️⃣2️⃣ LIST
Definition
A list is an ordered, mutable collection.
list1 = [1, 2, 3]
List Methods
- append()
- insert()
- remove()
- pop()
- sort()
1️⃣3️⃣ TUPLE
Definition
A tuple is an ordered, immutable collection.
t = (1, 2, 3)
1️⃣4️⃣ SET
Definition
A set is an unordered collection with no duplicates.
s = {1, 2, 3}
1️⃣5️⃣ DICTIONARY
Definition
A dictionary stores data in key-value pairs.
d = {"name": "Python", "version": 3}
1️⃣6️⃣ FUNCTIONS
Definition
A function is a block of reusable code.
def add(a, b):
return a + b
Types of Functions
- Built-in
- User-defined
- Lambda function
1️⃣7️⃣ LAMBDA FUNCTION
Definition
Anonymous function written in one line.
x = lambda a: a*a
1️⃣8️⃣ FILE HANDLING
Definition
Used to read and write files.
File Modes
r– readw– writea– append
file = open("test.txt", "r")
1️⃣9️⃣ EXCEPTION HANDLING
Definition
Handling runtime errors using try-except.
try:
print(10/0)
except:
print("Error")
2️⃣0️⃣ OOPS CONCEPTS
Object-Oriented Programming
Python supports OOPs for code reusability.
Core Concepts
- Class
- Object
- Inheritance
- Polymorphism
- Encapsulation
- Abstraction
class Student:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
2️⃣1️⃣ INHERITANCE
class Child(Parent):
pass
2️⃣2️⃣ POLYMORPHISM
One function, many forms.
2️⃣3️⃣ MODULES & PACKAGES
Definition
A module is a file containing Python code.
import math
2️⃣4️⃣ REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
Used for pattern matching.
import re
2️⃣5️⃣ MULTITHREADING
Allows multiple threads to run concurrently.
2️⃣6️⃣ DATABASE CONNECTIVITY
- SQLite
- MySQL
- MongoDB
2️⃣7️⃣ ADVANCED PYTHON TOPICS
- Decorators
- Generators
- Iterators
- Virtual Environment
- API Handling
- Web Scraping
- Automation
- Python with AI/ML
✅ CONCLUSION
Python is a powerful, flexible language suitable for beginners to professionals. Mastering Python basics to advanced concepts opens doors to high-paying careers in technology.
