What is Python?

🐍 Python is a versatile and popular programming language that is widely used for various applications and domains.

  • 🌟 Versatile: Python is a versatile language suitable for diverse tasks, from web development to scientific computing.

  • 💻 High-level: It abstracts complex details, making it easier for programmers to write code.

  • 🤝 Readable and Clean: Python emphasizes clean, easy-to-understand syntax, enhancing code readability.

  • 🚀 Productive: With a vast standard library and numerous third-party modules, it allows developers to be more productive.

  • 🧪 Scientific and Data Analysis: Python is a go-to choice for data science, machine learning, and scientific research.

  • 🌐 Web Development: Python frameworks like Django and Flask power web applications and back-end development.

  • 🤖 Automation: Python is used for automating repetitive tasks and creating bots.

How to Install Python?

Different Data Types in Python.

In Python, data types are classifications that determine the type of data that a variable can hold. Python has several built-in data types to handle different kinds of data. Here are some of the main data types in Python:

  1. Numeric Types:

    • int: Integer type, e.g., 1, 100, -25.

    • float: Floating-point type, e.g., 3.14, -2.718.

  2. Sequence Types:

    • str: String type, e.g., "Hello, World!", 'Python'.

    • list: Ordered collection of elements, e.g., [1, 2, 3], ['apple', 'banana'].

    • tuple: Immutable ordered collection, e.g., (1, 2, 3), ('a', 'b', 'c').

  3. Mapping Type:

    • dict: A dictionary that stores key-value pairs, e.g., {'name': 'John', 'age': 30}.

  4. Set Types:

    • set: An unordered collection of unique elements, e.g., {1, 2, 3}, {'apple', 'orange'}.

    • frozenset: An immutable version of set.

  5. Boolean Type:

    • bool: Represents boolean values, either True or False.

  6. None Type:

    • None: Represents the absence of a value or null.

  7. Sequence Iterator Types:

    • range: Represents a range of numbers, e.g., range(5) generates 0 to 4.

  8. Binary Types:

    • bytes: Immutable sequence of bytes, e.g., b'Hello'.

    • bytearray: Mutable sequence of bytes.

  9. Collection Types:

    • list, tuple, set, frozenset, and dict are collectively referred to as collection types.

  10. Custom or User-defined Types:

    • Python also allows defining custom classes to create user-defined types.
