Python Basics
§ Python programs and modules are written as
text files with traditionally a .py extension.

§ Variable in Python need no declaration.


c=1
§ Objects always have a type.
Python Syntax Compared to
Other Programming Languages
§ Python was designed for readability, and has some similarities to the
English language with influence from mathematics.

§ Python uses new lines to complete a command, as opposed to other


programming languages which often use semicolons or parentheses.
§ Python relies on indentation, using whitespace, to define scope; such
as the scope of loops, functions and classes. Other programming
languages often use curly-brackets for this purpose.

§ Before start coding, make sure that you have python installed on a
Linux or Mac, then on linux open the command line or on Mac open
the Terminal and type:
Python IDLE
IDLE is an Integrated Development
and Learning Environment for Python.
How to Write a Python Program

…………………………….

For Example, Let’s save this file as test.py
How to Execute a Program
test.py file can be executed at command line by invoking the interpreter on
your application.

C: > python test.py

…………………………….
