INTRODUCTION

How to Get Started With Python?

In this tutorial, you will learn to install and run Python on your computer. Once we do that, we will also write our first Python program.

Python is a cross-platform programming language, which means that it can run on multiple platforms like Windows, macOS, Linux, and has even been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines. It is free and open-source.

Even though most of today's Linux and Mac have Python pre-installed in it, the version might be out-of-date. So, it is always a good idea to install the most current version.

Downloading Python and Pycharm Installation

In this tutorial, we'll download and install Python as well as an IDE called PyCharm. First of all, let's head to Python's official website and download Python:

  • Go to this link - https://www.python.org/downloads/.
  • From the above link, download the latest version of Python.
  • After visiting this link, click on the "Download Python" button.
  • Your download will start as soon as you click the button.

Nice! You can run the installer and install Python. Now, Let's download Pycharm. But what is Pycharm, and why do we need it?

Pycharm is one of the best Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for Python Language developed by the Czech company JetBrains. To download Pycharm, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to this link - https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/#section=windows.
  2. After visiting the above link, download the community version of Pycharm.
  3. Click on the community button to download it.
  4. Your download will start.

After that, install it like any other software. After Installing both Python and Pycharm, open terminal (Powershell), and then type 'python' and press Enter.

You should see the output like this.

Then Install Pycharm like any other software and do not make any changes while installing it.

  Data Types in Python Primarily there are following data types in Python. Integers (<class 'int'>): Used to store integers Floating point numbers (<class 'float'>): Used to store decimal or floating-point numbers Strings (<class 'str'>): Used to store strings Booleans (<class 'bool'>): Used to store True/False type values None: None is a literal to describe 'Nothing' in Python  Rules for defining a variable in Python: A variable name can contain alphabets, digits, and underscores (_). For E.g. : demo_xyz = ‘It’s a string variable’ A variable name can only start with an alphabet and underscore. It can't start with a digit. 5aman   is illegal and not allowed No white-space is allowed to be used inside a variable name. Also, reserved keywords are not recommended to be used as variable names. Examples of few valid variable names are  aman ,  _demo ,  de_mo , etc. Python is a fantastic language that automatically identifie...

  Python Functions In this article, you'll learn about functions, what a function is, the syntax, components, and types of functions. Also, you'll learn to create a function in Python. What is a function in Python? In Python, a function is a group of related statements that performs a specific task. Functions help break our program into smaller and modular chunks. As our program grows larger and larger, functions make it more organized and manageable. Furthermore, it avoids repetition and makes the code reusable. Syntax of Function def function_name(parameters): """docstring""" statement(s) Above shown is a function definition that consists of the following components. Keyword  def  that marks the start of the function header. A function name to uniquely identify the function. Function naming follows the same  rules of writing identifiers in Python. Parameters (arguments) through which we pass values to a function. They are optional. A colon (:) ...
