Why Python?

Python is one of the most accessible programming languages and the de facto standard for data science and AI. This article explains the basics: variables, data types, control flow, functions and modules — with practical examples.

Variables and data types

x = 42, name = "Alice", items = [1,2,3]. Python is dynamically typed, which keeps the syntax clean.

Control flow

if, for, while work like in most languages but with indentation instead of braces.

Functions

def greet(name): return f"Hello {name}"
