To get started, we are going to write a simple line of code in Python. The code will display the words "Hello World!". You can do so by writing the following code:

print("Hello World!")

Congrats! You are on your way to Python mastery!

Python has five standard data types::

We will briefly go over the numbers and strings below.

Numbers

The number data types store numberic values, and are created when a value is assigned to them. There are four numerical types in Python:

Here is a simple example of how to assign a number value(int) to a variable:

x = 5

Strings

Strings are a set of characters that are enclosed in either single or double quotation marks.

Here is a simple example of how to assign a string value to a variable:

x = 'this is a string'

A list contains items seperated by commas and enclosed with square brackets []. Items in a list may be different data types. As an example, you can have numbers and strings in a list:

x = [ 'hello', 123 ]

Operators are used to perform operations on values and variables. There are many kinds of operators, and in this documentation, we will be touching on arithmetic operators.

Arithmetic operators are used for mathmatical operations, such as addition and multiplication. They include the following:

Here is an example of addition:

5 + 6

Here is an example of floor division:

21 // 4

There are loop types in Python, "for" loops and "while" loops.

"For" loops

For loops iterate over a sequence

Here is an example of a for loop:

abc_list = [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ] for i in abc_list:
  print(i)

"While" loops

While loops repeat as long as a condition is met

Here is an example of a while loop:

i = 1   while i < 4:
  print(i)
  i +=1 print(i)

Thank you for making it through to the end of the documentation! Hopefully you learned something useful!
