What is VARIABLES in Python?

 As the name implies the meaning, a variable is something which can be change. A variable is a way of referring to a memory location used by a computer program. A variable is a symbolic name for this physical location.

This memory location contains values, like numbers,text or more complicated types.
Variables can be treated as a container which can store some value in it.

In any other languages for example C++, This is how you write a variable int a = 20
Where int is data type of the variable. Int stands for integer.
String refers to text or collection of characters. It is represented in single quotes or double quotes.
Float refers to decimal point numbers.
In Programming languages like C++ you have to specify the data type of a variable. But in python you don’t have to worry about data type. Whatever value  you give the variable, python will automatically find out the data type. Thus making it much easier to write code in python.
Some variable declaration and their data types.
a = 200 – integer variable
a = “Aidox” – string variable
a = 5.8 – floating point variable

What are INPUT FUNCTIONS in Python?

 To print text onto the screen in python all you have to do is:      print(“Your Text”)

To print value of a variable: print                  (variable_name)

But printing values is not enough to make programs.

Sometimes your program will need to receive values from user.

That is where input functions come in Input function

Syntax for simple porgram:

variable_name = input()
If variable is a string.
variable_name = int(input())
If variable is an integer.
Also a text can be printed along so that user have a
better idea on what task they have to perform.
variable_name = input(“Enter the word”)
variable_name = int(input(“Enter the number”))

Writing first python program

  We are here to write our first program,it will  be an easy program just printing the entered word or value. The syntax of python language is very simple and easy and you dont have to confuse your mind with any complexity. So here is our first program print ( "Hello my name is abc" ) print command is used to display the output written in brackets with inverted commas. As we have typed the sentence "Hello my name is abc". So this command will simply print this sentence as show above in the picture.

Code Simple Calculator in python

  We are going to write code for a simple calculator in python, It will show you that how can you use basic python statements and function to make a calculator that will do addition, subtraction,multiplication and division. Calculator python coding: def add (a , b): return a + b def subtract (a , b): return a - b def multiply (a , b): return a * b def divide (a , b): return a / b print ( "Select Desired Operation." ) print ( "1.Add" ) print ( "2.Subtract" ) print ( "3.Multiply" ) print ( "4.Divide" ) while True : choice = input ( "Enter choice(1/2/3/4): " ) if choice in ( '1' , '2' , '3' , '4' ): num1 = float ( input ( "Enter first number: " )) num2 = float ( input ( "Enter second number: " )) if choice == '1' : print (num1 , "+" , num2 , "=" , add(num1 , num2)) elif choice == ...

Conditional Statements

Conditional STATEMENTS Normally, the statements are executed sequentially as written in the program (i.e. Top to bottom). This is known as the normal flow of control. But sometimes the operational flow of control has to be altered depending upon a condition. The statements that allow to do so, are known as selection statements. Most important selection statement that python offers is the If statement. Selection statements are also known as conditional statements or decision statements. THE IF STATEMENT An if statement tests a particular condition; if the condition evaluates to true, a course of action is followed i.e. a statement of a set of statements is executed. If the condition is false the course of action is ignored. The syntax of if statement is as shown below: if (expression) : Statement THE ELIF STATEMENT In some cases the program requires you to write multiple if statements. This results in many condition evaluations thus slowing up the program. So to avoid th...
