Introduction0:07
Understanding 'For loop' in Python8:45
Learn how to use for loops in Python to iterate over lists, print each item, apply transformations like doubling numbers and uppercasing strings, and understand indentation and iteration concepts.
Understanding 'While loop' in Python7:00
Explore the while loop in Python, using a boolean condition and an increment to print values 1 through 5, and learn how a break statement exits the loop when needed.

Numbers in Python8:24

Description

Master python fundamentals (Free Course)

With this course, you can start your python learning journey. We'll start with setting up your local machine python development environment.

After that, we'll make progress and learn the concepts of Python.

What is Python?

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation.

Python is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional programming. It is often described as a "batteries included" language due to its comprehensive standard library.

Guido van Rossum began working on Python in the late 1980s as a successor to the ABC programming language and first released it in 1991 as Python 0.9.0. Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and introduced new features such as list comprehensions, cycle-detecting garbage collection, reference counting, and Unicode support. Python 3.0, released in 2008, was a major revision that is not completely backward-compatible with earlier versions.

Python consistently ranks as one of the most popular programming languages.
