Introduction

Python is a versatile, high-level programming language known for its readability and ease of use. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.

Installation

To start coding in Python, you first need to install it on your system. Visit the official Python website and download the latest version suitable for your operating system.

Running Python Code

After installation, you can run Python code using the command line or an integrated development environment (IDE) such as PyCharm or VSCode. Create a Python file with a .py extension and execute it using the python filename.py command.

Python Syntax

Python uses indentation to define code blocks, making it visually clear and concise. Avoid using tabs and stick to spaces to maintain consistency.

if x > 0:
    print("Positive")
else:
    print("Non-positive")

Variables and Data Types

Variables store data, and Python has various data types, including integers, floats, strings, booleans, lists, and dictionaries.

age = 25
height = 1.75
name = "John"
is_student = True

Control Flow

Control flow structures, such as if, elif, and else, control the execution of code based on conditions.

if condition:
    # Code to execute if the condition is true
elif another_condition:
    # Code to execute if the first condition is false and this condition is true
else:
    # Code to execute if all conditions are false

Functions

Functions allow you to encapsulate code for reuse. They are defined using the def keyword.

def greet(name):
    print("Hello, " + name + "!")

Lists

Lists are ordered, mutable sequences, and they can contain elements of different data types.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]

Dictionaries

Dictionaries store key-value pairs, allowing efficient data retrieval.

person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30, "is_student": False}

Loops

Loops, such as for and while, help iterate over sequences or execute code repeatedly.

for item in iterable:
    # Code to execute for each item in the iterable

while condition:
    # Code to execute while the condition is true

File Handling

Python provides functions for reading from and writing to files.

with open("filename.txt", "r") as file:
    content = file.read()

with open("newfile.txt", "w") as file:
    file.write("Hello, World!")

Exception Handling

Use try, except, else, and finally blocks to handle exceptions gracefully.

try:
    # Code that may raise an exception
except SomeException as e:
    # Code to handle the exception
else:
    # Code to execute if no exception occurs
finally:
    # Code to execute regardless of whether an exception occurred

Modules and Libraries

Python has a rich ecosystem of modules and libraries that extend its functionality. You can import and use them in your code.

import math

result = math.sqrt(25)

Python Math Basics

Welcome to the Python Math Basics README! This document covers the fundamental mathematical operations and concepts in Python, providing a handy reference for solving common mathematical problems.

Arithmetic Operations
Variables and Expressions
Math Functions
Random Numbers

Arithmetic Operations

Python supports the basic arithmetic operations:

# Addition
result_add = 3 + 4

# Subtraction
result_sub = 7 - 2

# Multiplication
result_mul = 5 * 6

# Division
result_div = 8 / 2

# Integer Division
result_int_div = 8 // 3

# Modulus (Remainder)
result_mod = 10 % 3

# Exponentiation
result_exp = 2 ** 4

Variables and Expressions

Variables can store numerical values, and expressions combine variables and operators:

x = 5
y = 3

# Expressions
sum_result = x + y
product_result = x * y

Math Functions

Python provides a math module with various mathematical functions:

import math

# Square root
sqrt_result = math.sqrt(16)

# Trigonometric functions
sin_result = math.sin(math.radians(30))
cos_result = math.cos(math.radians(60))

# Logarithm
log_result = math.log(100, 10)

# Absolute value
abs_result = abs(-7)

Random Numbers

To work with random numbers, use the random module:

import random

# Random float in [0.0, 1.0)
random_float = random.random()

# Random integer in a range
random_int = random.randint(1, 10)

# Random choice from a sequence
choices = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
random_choice = random.choice(choices)

This README covers the basic mathematical operations and functions in Python. Feel free to explore more advanced mathematical concepts, such as statistics and linear algebra, using specialized libraries like NumPy and SciPy. Happy coding!
