## 1. Basic Python Commands 🚀
### Print 🖨️
- Command: `print("Hello, Python!")`
- Explanation: The `print` function is your friendly companion for showing messages on the screen. Let's greet the world!
- Example:
```python
print("Hello, Python!")
- Command:
# This is a comment
- Explanation: Comments are your secret notes that only you can read. Use them to explain your code.
- Example:
# This is a comment
- Command:
variable_name = value
- Explanation: Think of variables as containers where you can store anything you like. Give them a name, and they'll remember it for you!
- Example:
age = 20 name = "Alice"
- Command:
input("Enter your name: ")
- Explanation: The
input
function is like having a conversation with your code. It asks for your input, and you respond! - Example:
name = input("Enter your name: ")
- Explanation: Integers are whole numbers without decimal points. Perfect for counting your blessings!
- Example:
age = 25
- Explanation: Floating-point numbers have decimal points and are your go-to choice for anything that's not whole.
- Example:
price = 19.99
- Explanation: Strings are like a string of pearls, holding characters together. Use quotes to define them.
- Example:
name = "Bob"
- Explanation: Booleans have only two answers - "Yes" (True) and "No" (False). They're your code's way of making decisions.
- Example:
is_python_fun = True
- Explanation: Lists are like your shopping list; they can contain many items. They're your flexible friends!
- Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
- Explanation: Tuples are like lists, but once you make them, they're set in stone! They're perfect for things that shouldn't change.
- Example:
coordinates = (3, 5)
- Explanation: Dictionaries are like word dictionaries - they store words (keys) and their meanings (values).
- Example:
person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}
- Explanation: Sets are like a bag of unique surprises; they only contain unique elements!
- Example:
unique_numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
- Explanation:
None
is like a blank slate. It means "I don't know" or "There's nothing here." - Example:
no_value = None
- Explanation: These operators perform math operations like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and more.
- Example:
result = 10 + 5
- Explanation: Use these to compare values and decide if something is true or false.
- Example:
is_equal = 5 == 3
- Explanation: Logical operators help your code make smart decisions by combining and negating values.
- Example:
is_true = True and False
- Explanation: String concatenation is like making a sandwich with words. Combine strings with a
+
to make a new one. - Example:
first_name = "John" last_name = "Doe" full_name = first_name + " " + last_name
- Explanation: Sometimes, you need to change the way data looks or behaves. Use type conversion functions.
- Example:
age_str = "30" age_int = int(age_str)
- Explanation: Python has built-in math functions for all your number-crunching needs.
- Example:
absolute_value = abs(-5)
- Explanation: Find out how long a string is using the
len
function. - Example:
sentence = "Python is amazing!" length = len(sentence)
- Explanation: Slice a piece of a string to enjoy just the part you like.
- Example:
text = "Hello, World!" sliced_text = text[0:5] # Extracts "Hello"
- Explanation: Strings come with a toolkit of methods. Use them to manipulate and transform your text.
- Example:
text = "python is great" uppercase_text = text.upper()
- Explanation: Use
if
,elif
, andelse
to make decisions in your code. - Example:
age = 18 if age >= 18: print("You are an adult") else: print("You are not an adult")
- Explanation: Create loops that keep going as long as a condition is true.
- Example:
count = 1 while count <= 5: print("Count: ", count) count += 1
- Explanation: Loop over a sequence like a list or string and do something with each item.
- Example:
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] for fruit in fruits: print("I like", fruit)
- Explanation: Define your own functions to package up code and use it whenever you want.
- Example:
def greet(name): print("Hello, " + name + "!") greet("Alice")
- Explanation: Python has a treasure chest of built-in functions to save you time and effort.
- Example:
numbers = [3, 7, 1, 9, 4] max_value = max(numbers)
- Explanation: Combine and compare values with logical expressions to make your code smarter.
- Example:
is_sunny = True is_warm = True if is_sunny and is_warm: print("It's a great day!")
