You don’t have to learn everything to know python, python is English however yet incredible. This article will outline the 5 most significant concepts one could have to know python.

I would likewise be adding some significant features and mind map techniques one could remember to make the learning simple.

What is Python?

Python is object oriented (code+data), high-level general purpose programming language.

Why Python?

  1. It is easy to learn and has code readability.
  2. Free and open source.
  3. Python is an interpreted language where machine peruses and interprets the code where all the errors are checked during runtime.
  4. Simplicity of code and syntax structure when compared with other programming languages.
  5. Python has 130,000+ libraries.

Getting Started with the “Python Mains”:

Basic Arithmetic operations:

There are 7 Arithmetic operators in python :

  1. Addition
  2. Subtraction
  3. Multiplication
  4. Division
  5. Floor division
  6. Exponential
  7. Modulus

Python Conditional Statements:(The basic 3 Main)

  1. if
  2. elif
  3. else

Note: Its always better to remember logical operators:

Equals: a == b

Not Equals: a != b

Less than: a < b

Less than or equal to: a <= b

Greater than: a > b

Greater than or equal to: a >= b

Python Loops:

  1. While Loop
  2. For Loop

Python Data Structures:

  1. List
  2. Dictionary
  3. Tuple
  4. Set

Python Libraries:

I imagine python libraries like “Capsules”, they save lot of time for writing a code. Python libraries play a major role in developing Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Data Science, Data Visualization and analytics applications.

Some of the important python libraries:

  • Numpy, Pandas, Pytorch, Scikit learn, Keras, Matplotlib, Seaborn etc.

Useful tips and techniques to make learning easy:

  1. If you are new to python avoid common mistakes like indentation errors.
  2. Do not write the code using pen-paper make use of a IDE/Software like pycharm, Jupyter notebooks etc, this is the right way to code.
  3. If you don’t remember the syntax- remember “google is your best-friend”.
  4. The best way to build the logic is to take a look at the code and ask yourself what can be the possible output and then hit on run and check.

Happy Learning Python !
