Practice on Online Python Compiler

If you are interested in learning Python, daily practice is really important for improving your coding skills. Before going into depth, let’s start your Python journey by creating a simple program using Intellipaat’s online Python compiler.

Write Your First Python Program in An Online Compiler

Let’s see step-by-step how you can write and run your Python code in an online compiler:

Step 1: Open the Intellipaat’s online Python compiler.

Step 2: Once open, start writing the following code in the editor.

if __name__ == "__main__":
   num = 11
   if num > 0:
      print(num, "is a positive number.")
   else:
      print(num, "is a negative number.")

Step 3: Click on the ‘Run’ button to execute your program.

Step 4: You will get the following output:

What is Python?

Python is an advanced programming language, developed by Guido van Rossum in 1991. It’s great for beginners because of its simplicity and readability. Python can help you with many things like creating websites, data analyzing, machine learning, etc. Python contains a big standard library which makes it a powerful tool for many projects.

Important Python Syntax

When you are coding on a Python compiler, you must use proper Python syntax to run code without errors. Here are some important syntax elements that every developer should know about when writing Python codes:

Loops in Python

Loops in Python are very important concepts that help you repeat actions in your code. There are mainly 2 types of loops in Python: for loop and while loop. Let’s see what they do:

1. For loop

For loop in Python allows you to repeat the code for each item in the list.

Syntax:

for element in iterable:
    # Code

Example:

Let’s see an example of a ‘for’ loop where it will do the sum of all the elements in a list.

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
sum_of_numbers = 0
for num in numbers:
    sum_of_numbers += num
print("The sum of numbers is:", sum_of_numbers)

Output:

2. While loop

While loop in Python repeats the code based on a condition. It will repeat the code until the condition is true. While loop is used when we don’t know how many times the loop will run.

Syntax:

while condition:
    # Code

Example: Let’s see a simple example of a ‘while’ loop where we will print the numbers from 1 to 5.

counter = 1
while counter <= 5:
    print(counter)
    counter += 1 

Output:

Conditional Statements in Python

Conditional Statements are really important in Python that help you make decisions based on the conditions. The basic conditional statements are “if,” “else,” and “elif” (else if) statements.

Syntax:

if condition:
    # if the condition is True
else:
    # if the condition is False

For more complex scenarios with multiple conditions, you can use the “elif” statement:

if condition1:
    # if condition1 is True
elif condition2:
    # if condition2 is True
else:
    # if both conditions are False

Example: Let’s see a simple example of an ‘if-else’ statement to check if the number is even or odd.

num = 7
if num % 2 == 0:
    print(num, "is an even number.")
else:
    print(num, "is an odd number.")

Output:

Built-in Collections in Python

Collections in Python are like data types that are used to store and organize data. There are 4 built-in collections in Python:

1. List: It is a collection that is ordered and can be changed.

Example:

mylist = [1, 2, 3]
print(mylist)

2. Tuple: It is a collection that is unordered and can not be changed. They are mostly used to store similar data.

Example:

myTuple = (1, 2, 3)
print(myTuple)

3. Set: A set is also a collection that is unordered but it has no duplicate elements.

Example:

myset = {1, 2, 3}
Print{myset}

4. Dictionary: It is a collection of key-value pairs.

Example:

mydict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(mydict)

Functions in Python

Functions are the reusable blocks of codes that perform a specific task. You can call them whenever you need. Functions in Python take inputs known as ‘Parameters’ and return output known as ‘return value’.

Syntax:

def function_name(parameters):
    # Code
    return result

You start your function with ‘def’ followed by ‘function_name’ and parameters should be put in parentheses ‘()’.

Example: Let’s see a simple function where we will calculate the factorial of a number:

def factorial(n):
    if n == 0 or n == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        return n * factorial(n - 1)
number = 5
result = factorial(number)
print("Factorial of", number, "is", result)

Output:

Libraries in Python

Libraries in Python are collections of pre-written code that help you to write programs easily. You can just import a library instead of writing code from scratch.
