Python Basics Introduction

This tutorial provides you with the fundamentals of Python programming. It includes how to create and run Python scripts, how to use the `import` keyword to import Python modules, an explanation of variables, functions, and while loops in Python.

Creating and Running Python Scripts

Python script is a file with a `.py` extension that contains Python code. Write your code in a text editor, save it with the .py extension, and run it using the Python interpreter in the command line:

Imports in Python

'import' is a keyword in Python used to include various Python modules into your current program. Once a module is imported, you have access to all the functions, classes, and variables defined in that module.

Variables in Python

Variables in Python are references that are used to store data values. Python has no command for declaring a variable.

Creating Functions in Python

A function is a group of statements performing specific tasks. Functions in Python are defined by using the `def` keyword.

While Loops in Python

A while loop in Python repeatedly executes a block of statements as long as the given condition is true.

For Loops in Python

'for' loop in Python is used for sequential traversals, such as going through every item in a list or string.

The `for` loop can also be used to iterate over a list directly:
