Overview

learn-python is a code-short note to understand the basics of Python, designed as a simple, code-first learning aid. To learn, users can uncomment the code lines and execute the files to see how each concept works in practice. It briefly covers core theory such as data types, variables, strings, operators, slicing, input handling, conditionals, loops, functions, return values, and variable scope.

Designed and developed by Supun Wijesooriya.

Features

The learn-python notes include the following:

1. Core Data Types and Variables

   • Integers, floats, booleans, and strings
   • Basic assignments and updates

2. String Operations

   • Concatenation and methods
   • Indexing and slicing

3. Operators and Input

   • Arithmetic and logical operators
   • User input handling

4. Control Flow

   • If/elif/else selection patterns
   • While loops for repetition

5. Iteration

   • For loops with ranges
   • Nested loops for simple patterns

6. Functions

   • Function definitions and parameters
   • Return values
   • Variable scope

Technologies Used

• Python 3.13: Core language used for all examples
• No External Libraries: All code uses only built-in Python features
