Your Python foundation
Welcome to Python Basics! This is where you’ll learn the fundamental building blocks that every Python program uses. Think of it like learning a new language:- First, you learn words (variables and data types)
- Then, you learn how to make sentences (operators and expressions)
- Finally, you learn grammar rules (control flow)
What you’ll learn
Variables
Store and manage data in your programs
Data types
Numbers, text, and true/false values
Operators
Math and comparisons in Python
Working with text
Manipulate and format strings
Comments
Document your code
How to use this section
Each topic builds on the previous one, so I recommend going in order. Every page follows the same format:- What is it? - Simple explanation of the concept
- See it in action - Live examples you can try
- Try it yourself - Exercises to practice
- Common mistakes - Things to watch out for
Use Interactive Python mode (Shift + Enter) to try examples as you go. This makes learning much more fun and effective!
