1. Introduction to Python
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It

is widely used in web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and more. Python's syntax

allows developers to express concepts in fewer lines of code compared to other languages.

2. Variables and Data Types


In Python, variables are used to store data. Unlike other languages, Python does not require explicit

declaration of variable types. Common data types include:

- Integers: Whole numbers (e.g., 5, 42)

- Floats: Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14, 0.99)

- Strings: Text data (e.g., 'Hello, World!')

- Booleans: True or False values

3. Control Structures
Control structures in Python allow you to control the flow of your program. Common structures
include:

- If-Else Statements: For decision-making

- Loops: For repetitive tasks (e.g., for loops, while loops)

- Try-Except Blocks: For error handling

4. Functions and Modules


Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks. In Python, you can define a

function using the `def` keyword. Modules are files containing Python code that can be imported into

other programs.

5. File Handling
Python provides built-in functions for working with files. You can open, read, write, and close files

using the `open()` function. Always remember to close files after use to free up resources.
