Python Tutorial
Python Getting Started
Understand Python, run your first program, use the interpreter and learn the basic execution model.
Concept
Python source code is written in plain-text .py files and executed by the Python interpreter. For early practice, an interactive interpreter is useful because each statement can be tried immediately.
Start with a tiny program, then learn how indentation, comments and statements work. Python uses indentation as syntax, so consistent spacing is part of writing correct code.
Example
name = "Mango Learner"
print("Hello,", name)
print(2 + 3)
Type the example yourself and change at least one value. Small experiments reveal syntax and behavior faster than passive reading.
Practice Tasks
- Print your name and city.
- Store two numbers and print their sum, difference and product.
- Add a comment explaining each statement.
Key Takeaways
- Python code is commonly stored in .py files.
- Indentation is meaningful.
- The interpreter is useful for fast experiments.
