Getting started with Python
Python is a simple, readable language used for web, data, AI and automation.
📖 Key ideas
- Python code reads almost like English, so it is a great first language.
- You run code with the python command or in tools like VS Code, IDLE or Jupyter.
- print("Hello") shows text on the screen.
- Indentation (spaces at the start of a line) is part of the syntax.
- Comments start with # and are ignored by Python.
💡 Real-life example: Python is like a calculator that also understands instructions: you write steps and it does them in order.
