Day 1 - Core Python: Syntax, Variables, Data Types

1. Python Syntax and Indentation

Python uses indentation (whitespace) to define blocks of code. Correct indentation is important to avoid

errors. Real-life example: If you follow traffic rules properly (indentation), you avoid accidents (errors).

if 5 > 2:
print('Five is greater than two')

2. Comments

Comments are used to explain code and make it more readable. They are ignored by the Python interpreter.

# This is a single-line comment


'''This is a
multi-line comment'''

3. Variables and Constants

Variables store data values. Constants are variables whose values should not change (use uppercase by

convention).

name = 'Saniya'
age = 23
PI = 3.14 # Constant

4. Data Types

Common data types include:

- int: Integer numbers

- float: Decimal numbers

- str: Text data

- bool: True/False values

x = 10 # int
y = 3.14 # float
z = 'Hi' # str
b = True # bool

5. Type Checking and Type Casting

Use type() to check data type. Use int(), float(), str() to convert between types.

x = '123'
print(int(x)) # 123
print(type(int(x))) # <class 'int'>
