Beginner’s Guide
An introductory guide to Python programming for beginners.

What is Python?
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its readability and
broad applicability.

Installation & Setup


Download Python from python.org and install it. Use an IDE like VSCode or PyCharm for a
better experience.

Syntax Overview
Python uses indentation to define blocks. Statements end by a new line, not semicolons.

Variables & Data Types


Variables are created when first assigned. Example: x = 10, name = 'Alice', pi = 3.14

Control Flow
Use if, elif, else for conditionals; use for and while for loops.
Example:
if x > 0:
print('Positive')

Functions
Defined using 'def' keyword.
Example:
def greet(name):
return f'Hello, {name}'
Lists, Tuples, Dictionaries
Lists: mutable sequences. Tuples: immutable. Dictionaries: key-value pairs.
Example:
my_list = [1, 2, 3]

File I/O
Read/Write files with open().
Example:
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f:
content = f.read()

Basic OOP (Classes & Objects)


Python supports object-oriented programming.
Example:
class Person:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

Common Python Libraries


Useful libraries include math, random, os, sys, datetime, requests, and pandas.
