# Part 1 : Python From Scratch

This article explains basic data types and print function. This is good place to start your Python programming journey.

Lets Begin

1. **Data type**s -  
    Python has many data types, below are some most basic data types with examples .  
    We will learn about more data types/structures as we proceed…
    

```markdown
## Data Types
1. int -> eg - 1,3,4,etc.
2. float -> eg - 1.02, 2.4, 4.8, etc
3. str -> eg - "Hello", "Anything", 'Hii', '''Something''' , etc.
4. And more...
```

2. `print()` **function**
    
    using `print()` function we can show output values on screen.
    

```python
print(1)
print(2.5)
print("Hello")
print("Hii","Python",15)
print("Bye","C",sep=">",end=' ')
print("Bye")
```

Output :

```plaintext
1
2.5
Hello
Hii Python 15
Bye>C Bye
```

* As shown above, for printing `int` or `float` , we can directly pass it inside print function. But for string we use double quotes - `"string"` , we can also use single quotes -`'string'` or three single quotes - `'''string'''` or three double quotes - `"""string"""`.
    
      
    Syntax of print function is : `print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n')`
    
      
    Let’s break down the syntax -
    
    * `*objects` means we give any number of arguments to `print` function.
        
    * `sep = ' '` as we an give any number of inputs values to the function, `sep` argument separates each values, by default it is set to single space `' '`.
        
    * `end = '\n'` using the end argument we can set end behavior of `print` function, by default it is set to `'\n'` , which is a escape sequence called newline character. This forces print function to switch to newline at the end each execution.
