Interpreters, Code Editors or IDEs

Python interpreters are exactly what the name implies. They take an interactive command and execute ( read = interpret) it to the language which computer hardware or system can understand. Python code editors or IDEs Integrated Development Environment) are designed for the developers to code and debug programs easily. Learn more from the resources.

Basic Syntax

Syntax is one of the basic requirements that you must know to code in any language. Just like a natural language, computer programming language comprises a set of predefined words which are called keywords. In Python, you have to know the rules of writing the programming language and using these keywords properly and in what contexts.

Conditional Statement

Done

Conditional Statement

Conditional statements are also called decision-making statements. In Python, the program evaluates the code to see if it meets the specific condition. The conditions are evaluated and processed as true or false. If this is found to be true, the program is run as needed. Learn more.

Strings and String Manipulation

Strings and String Manipulation

Python strings are "immutable". This means they cannot be changed after they are created. Therefore, string manipulation is the process where new strings are created to represent computed values because of their immutable property.

Operators

Python Operators are special symbols in Python programming that carry out arithmetic or logical computation. The value that the operator acts on is referred to as an operand. Here are some resource links where you can learn more about Operators in Python.

Data Types

Data Types in Python are the classification or categorization of data items. Every value in Python has a datatype. Therefore, Data Types represents the kind of value that tells what operations can be performed on a particular data. A variable is a reserved memory location to store values. Learn more about Data Types and variables with the following resources.

Loops

Mark as done

Done

Loops

Basically, statements in Python programming are executed sequentially: i.e. the first statement in a function is executed first, followed by the second, etc. However, there may be a situation when you need to execute a block of code several times and this is where a loop statement comes in. A loop statement allows us to execute a statement or group of statements multiple times. Learn more about loops and the types of loops statements with these resources:

Functions

In Python, a function is a block of organized, reusable code that is used to perform a single, related action. Python gives you many built-in functions like print(), etc. but it is also possible to create your own functions. Learn more about functions in python using these resources.
