Python in 14 Days: Beginner’s Journey

Sure! Here’s an outline for a “Python in 14 Days” guide that covers topics from an introduction to functions, including titles, short descriptions, syntax, and code examples. I’ll summarize each day’s content for readability and provide practical examples. Let’s break it down:

Day 1: Introduction to Python

Description:
Python is a versatile, high-level, and interpreted programming language known for its simplicity and readability. It’s widely used for web development, data analysis, machine learning, and more.

Key Terms:

  • Interpreter: Executes Python code line by line.
  • Script: A file containing Python code.
  • Variables: Containers for storing data.

# Simple Python script
print(“Welcome to Python!”)


# A basic Python script to demonstrate variables and printing
name = “Alice”
age = 25
print(f”My name is {name} and I am {age} years old.”)

Day 2: Python Variables and Data Types

Description:
Python variables are used to store data, and data types define the type of the value stored in a variable. Python supports data types like integers, floats, strings, and booleans.

# Syntax to define variables
variable_name = value

# Examples of different data types
x = 10 # Integer
y = 3.14 # Float
name = “Python” # String
is_python_fun = True # Boolean

# Printing variables
print(x, y, name, is_python_fun)

Day 3: Basic Input and Output

Description:
Python uses the input() function to accept user input and print() to display output.

# Taking input
variable = input(“Enter something: “)

# Displaying output
print(“You entered:”, variable)

# Input and output example
name = input(“What’s your name? “)
print(f”Hello, {name}!”)

Day 4: Python Operators

Description:
Operators are used to perform operations on variables and values. Python supports arithmetic (+, -, *, /), logical (and, or, not), and comparison (<, >, ==) operators.

# Arithmetic operators
a = 10
b = 3
print(“Sum:”, a + b)
print(“Division:”, a / b)

# Logical operators
print(“True and False:”, True and False)

Day 5: Conditional Statements

Description:
Conditional statements let you execute code blocks based on specific conditions.

# Conditional statements
age = int(input(“Enter your age: “))
if age < 18:
    print(“You are a minor.”)
elif age == 18:
    print(“You just became an adult!”)
else:
    print(“You are an adult.”)

Day 6: Loops

Description:
Loops (for and while) allow you to repeat a block of code multiple times.

# For loop example for i in range(5): print(f”Iteration {i}”) # While loop example count = 0 while count < 5: print(f"Count: {count}") count += 1

Day 7: Lists

Description:
Lists are used to store multiple items in a single variable. They are mutable, ordered, and allow duplicate elements.

# List operations fruits = [“apple”, “banana”, “cherry”] fruits.append(“orange”) fruits.remove(“banana”) print(fruits)

Day 8: Tuples and Dictionaries

Description:
Tuples are immutable collections, while dictionaries store key-value pairs.

# Tuple example colors = (“red”, “green”, “blue”) print(colors[0]) # Dictionary example person = {“name”: “Alice”, “age”: 25} print(person[“name”])

Day 9: Functions

Description:
Functions are reusable blocks of code designed to perform a specific task.

# Function example def greet(name): return f”Hello, {name}!” print(greet(“Alice”))
