    Study Notes

    Python Programming Concepts

    • An ordered set of instructions for a computer is an algorithm, pseudocode, or program.
    • Computer languages operate using machine language or binary language.
    • Code written in a high-level language like Python converts to machine instructions using an interpreter or compiler.
    • Python uses an interpreter to convert instructions.
    • Python is open-source, based on an ABC language, and created by Guido Van Rossum.
    • Python is case-sensitive.
    • Keywords in Python are written in lowercase.
    • Python uses the ctrl+r short cut to run programs.
    • Python is not proprietary software.
    • Python uses brackets for blocks.
    • Python's interactive mode executes statements immediately.
    • The default file extension for Python scripts is .py.
    • Keywords, identifiers, variables, and comments are parts of Python code.
    • Comments are ignored by the interpreter.
    • Single line comments begin with #.
    • Multi-line comments use triple quotes.
    • Data types like strings, integers, floats, and dictionaries exist.
    • Sequence data types include strings and characters.
    • Identifiers start with letters or underscores but can't use special characters or spaces.
    • Punctuation, literals, and keywords are Python tokens.
    • Literals have fixed values, whereas identifiers aren't fixed.
    • Variables hold values like integers or floats.
    • Operators perform mathematical or logical operations.
    • Operators utilize operands for value manipulation.
    • Python uses integers, complex numbers, and booleans.
    • Python's input() function handles user input, treating it as a string.
