Veerpal's Python Adventure

Welcome to "Veerpal's Python Adventure"! 🎉 This workbook is your gateway to mastering Python programming step by step. Whether you're a total beginner or just brushing up on your skills, these drills will guide you with clear explanations and fun exercises.
Remember: Every expert was once a beginner. Let's get started on this exciting journey!
⁠

Drill 1: Hello Python!

Concept: Printing to the console Python programs start with the basics: printing text!
Example:
python
print("Hello, Python!")

Exercise: Write a program that prints: ​"Welcome to Veerpal's Python Adventure!"
⁠

Drill 2: Variables and Data Types

Concept: Storing and using data with variables. Python variables can store numbers, text, and more!
Example:
python
name = "Veerpal"
age = 25
print(f"My name is {name} and I am {age} years old.")

Exercise: Create variables for your favorite color, number, and hobby. Print them in a sentence.
⁠

Drill 3: User Input

Concept: Interact with users by accepting input. Python's input() function allows the user to enter data.
Example:
python
name = input("What is your name? ")
print(f"Nice to meet you, {name}!")

Exercise: Write a program that asks the user for their favorite food and prints: ​"Yum! I love [food] too!"
⁠

Drill 4: Conditional Statements

Concept: Making decisions with if and else. Programs can behave differently based on conditions.
Example:
python
age = int(input("How old are you? "))
if age >= 18:
print("You are an adult!")
else:
print("You are a minor!")

Exercise: Write a program that checks if a number entered by the user is positive, negative, or zero.
⁠

Drill 5: Loops

Concept: Repeating tasks with loops. Use for and while loops to automate repetitive tasks.
Example:
python
for i in range(5):
print("Python is fun!")

Exercise: Write a program that prints the numbers 1 to 10 using a while loop.
⁠

Drill 6: Functions

Concept: Write reusable blocks of code. Functions allow you to organize and reuse your code.
Example:
python
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("Veerpal")

Exercise: Write a function square() that takes a number as input and returns its square.
⁠

Drill 7: Lists

Concept: Storing multiple items in a list. Lists are one of Python's most powerful data structures.
Example:
python
fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]
for fruit in fruits:
print(f"I love {fruit}!")

Exercise: Create a list of 5 of your favorite movies and print each one.
⁠

Drill 8: Dictionaries

Concept: Storing key-value pairs. Dictionaries allow you to map keys to values.
Example:
python
person = {"name": "Veerpal", "age": 25, "hobby": "coding"}
print(person["name"])

Exercise: Create a dictionary with keys "city", "country", and "population". Print each value.
⁠

Drill 9: File Handling

Concept: Reading from and writing to files. Python makes it easy to work with files.
Example:
python
with open("example.txt", "w") as file:
file.write("Hello, file!")

Exercise: Write a program that creates a file output.txt and writes "This is Veerpal's Python Adventure!" to it.
⁠

Drill 10: Classes and Objects

Concept: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Classes are blueprints for creating objects.
Example:
python
class Dog:
def __init__(self, name, breed):
self.name = name
self.breed = breed

def bark(self):
print(f"{self.name} says Woof!")

my_dog = Dog("Buddy", "Golden Retriever")
my_dog.bark()

Exercise: Create a class Car with attributes brand and model, and a method drive() that prints "The [brand] [model] is driving!".
