2. Python Basic Syntax and Data Types

Once you have installed Python on PCs and Macs, you must know how to write a program. But before that, this course will introduce you to the basic syntax, input and output operations, comments, variables, data types, and typecasting in Python. While variables store data of multiple types, each type has a different function. You will learn each data type category and cast them from one type to another. 

Subjects covered in basic syntax and data types in Python:

• Python input and output operations.
• Comments
• Variables, rules for naming variables
• Basic Data Types in Python

3. Operators in Python

Operators in a programming language instruct the machine to perform a particular operation on variables and values. Python operators are of multiple types, and each defines a unique operation. For example, the arithmetic operator “+” instructs the interpreter to perform “addition”. In this part of the course, you will be introduced to each of these operators and will understand where to use them and how they function in an instruction. 

Subjects covered in operators in Python:

9. Python conditional statements

While you are creating a Python program, you may need to put some conditions. For example, if a condition is true, then the next statement will be executed; otherwise, another statement will be printed. Python conditional statements consist of if statements, if-else statements, and if-elif-else statements. This section of the course will help you set logic with each of these conditional statements. 

Subjects covered in conditional statements in Python:

• Setting logic with conditional statements

Is learning Python easy?

Learning Python is comparatively easier than most other programming languages and is a good place to start your programming career. However, by saying easy, it doesn’t mean they can’t build complexity. Still, its packaging or library simplifications, easy-going syntax, and object model simplifications make it easier than C, Java, and other languages.

It has an easy-to-understand syntax that beginners can catch and implement in their programs. Python has multiple built-in features and available modules that you can import into your program to get the desired result. So, all you need to do is learn the library functions, APIs, how to import modules and other elements of Python programming.
