Learn Python Under 60 Minutes

Download latest Python from python.org and install it, selecting the Windows checkbox; use Python IDLE for a basic tutorial and PyCharm as an alternative, then complete installation and accept terms.

Write your first Python program using lowercase, quotes, and the print function to display a hello world string in the terminal.

Receive user input in Python with the built-in input function to read terminal values, store them in a variable, and print a greeting using string concatenation.

Learn how to declare and use variables in Python, store numbers, strings, and booleans, and read or print their values, with naming conventions and case sensitivity.

Explore type conversion in Python by converting input strings to int, float, bool, and str, and fix errors from mixing types while implementing a basic calculator example.

Explore Python strings as objects and use string methods like upper, lower, find, and replace. Learn about immutability, index positions, and the in operator for boolean containment checks.

Discover Python arithmetic operators, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, with single slash yielding floats and double slash yielding integers. Learn modulus, exponent, and augmented assignment (x += 3).

Learn how operator precedence in Python governs evaluation order. Multiplication and division come first, like math, and parentheses can override that order.

Explore Python's comparison operators—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, equal to, and not equal to—and see how boolean expressions yield true or false.
