Python Basics

A playground for absolute beginners

What's inside?

Each numbered task introduces one fundamental concept. The tasks are in the markdown (.md) files. My solutions are inside the python (.py) files - but there's countless ways achieve the same goal!

1. Hello World & the print function
2. Variables & primitive types
3. Comments & good code hygiene
4. Numbers and arithmetic
5. Number utilities (abs, round, etc.)
6. f-strings for readable output
7. String methods (upper, find, slice…)
8. Built-in number functions
9. User input & type conversion
10. Comparison operators (<, ==, …)
11. Conditional statements (if / elif / else)
12. Logical operators (and, or, not)
13. for loops & iteration patterns
14. while loops & break/continue
15. Functions, arguments & return values

Additionally, there are multiple exercises, which might teach you a little trick or two.

Quick start

Prerequisites: Python 3.10 + (anything later works too)

Tip: Work through the tasks in order - each builds gently on the last.
