Micro Python Tutorial: Learn Python in 10 minutes

 Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language. It is widely used for web development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, scientific computing, and many other applications.

1. Installing Python:

First, you need to install Python on your computer. Python can be downloaded from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/

2. Writing your first Python program:

Open a text editor such as Notepad, and type the following code:

python
print("Hello, World!")

Save the file as hello.py. Open the command prompt (or terminal), and navigate to the directory where the file is saved. Type python hello.py and press Enter. You should see the message "Hello, World!" printed on the screen.

3. Variables and data types:

In Python, you can declare variables without specifying the data type. For example:

makefile
x = 5
y = "Hello"

In this example, x is an integer, and y is a string. Python supports several data types, including integers, floating-point numbers, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets.

4. Operators:

Python supports various operators such as arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /), comparison operators (==, !=, >, <), logical operators (and, or, not), and assignment operators (=, +=, -=, *=, /=).

5. Conditional statements:

Python has conditional statements such as if, else, and elif. These statements are used to execute different code blocks based on certain conditions. For example:

python
x = 10
if x > 5:
    print("x is greater than 5")
elif x == 5:
    print("x is equal to 5")
else:
    print("x is less than 5")

In this example, the if statement checks if x is greater than 5. If it is, the message "x is greater than 5" is printed. If x is equal to 5, the message "x is equal to 5" is printed. Otherwise, the message "x is less than 5" is printed.

6. Loops:

Python has for and while loops. These loops are used to iterate over a sequence of values or repeat a block of code until a certain condition is met. For example:

scss
for i in range(5):
    print(i)

In this example, the for loop iterates over the values 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and prints them on the screen.

7. Functions:

Python allows you to define your own functions. Functions are used to encapsulate a block of code and make it reusable. For example:

python
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

In this example, the add function takes two arguments x and y, and returns their sum. The function can be called with different arguments, like this: result = add(3, 4).

8. Modules:

Python has a vast standard library and thousands of third-party modules. Modules are used to organize code into separate files, and they can be imported into other files to use their functions and variables. For example:

lua
import math
print(math.pi)

This is just a basic overview of Python. There's much more to learn, including object-oriented programming, file handling, regular expressions, and more. But this should give you a good starting point
