✅Getting Started with Python Basics

As a DevOps professional, understanding Python is crucial. Python is known for its simplicity and readability, making it an excellent choice for scripting and automation.

Here’s a quick overview of what you should know as you start learning Python:

  • Basic Syntax: Python syntax is clean and easy to understand. It uses indentation to define code blocks, which makes it readable.

Loops: Mastering loops is essential for writing scripts that perform repetitive tasks. Python supports for and while loops.


✅1. Variables

Variables are used to store data in Python. You can assign a value to a variable using the = operator.

# Assigning values to variables
name = "John"      # String
age = 30           # Integer
height = 5.9       # Float

print(name)        # Output: John
print(age)         # Output: 30
print(height)      # Output: 5.9

✅2. Input Handling

You can take input from the user using the input() function. By default, input() returns a string.

# Taking input from the user
user_name = input("Enter your name: ")
user_age = input("Enter your age: ")

print(f"Hello, {user_name}! You are {user_age} years old.")

3. Type Checking

To check the type of a variable, you can use the type() function.

# Checking the type of a variable
variable1 = "Hello"
variable2 = 100
variable3 = 3.14

print(type(variable1))  # Output: <class 'str'>
print(type(variable2))  # Output: <class 'int'>
print(type(variable3))  # Output: <class 'float'>

4. Type Casting

Type casting is used to convert one data type into another. Python provides several built-in functions for type casting, such as int(), float(), and str().

# Type casting example
num_str = "50"
num_int = int(num_str)        # Converts string to integer
num_float = float(num_str)    # Converts string to float

print(num_int)    # Output: 50
print(num_float)  # Output: 50.0

# Casting an integer to a string
age = 25
age_str = str(age)
print("Your age is " + age_str)  # Output: Your age is 25

✅5. Loops

Loops are used to execute a block of code repeatedly. Python supports two types of loops: for and while.

a. For Loop

The for loop is used to iterate over a sequence (like a list, tuple, dictionary, set, or string).

# For loop example
for i in range(5):
    print(f"Iteration {i}")

b. While Loop

The while loop continues to execute as long as a specified condition is True.

# While loop example
count = 0

while count < 5:
    print(f"Count is: {count}")
    count += 1
