Python Syntax and Basics

Python uses simple and readable syntax. Unlike other programming languages, Python does not use curly braces. Instead, it relies on indentation to define blocks of code.

1. Print Statement

Use the print() function to display output:

print("Hello, World!")

2. Variables

Variables are created when you assign a value to them:

x = 5
y = "AskPrep"
print(x)
print(y)

3. Indentation

Python uses indentation to indicate blocks of code:

if 5 > 2:
    print("Five is greater than two!")

4. Comments

You can write comments using the # symbol:

# This is a comment
print("This is code")
