    In this lesson, we’ll explore Python’s interactive shell, how to use the Python interpreter, and understand the REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) concept, which is a core feature of Python’s interactive programming environment.

    1. Using the Python Interpreter

    The Python Interpreter is the engine that runs your Python code. When you write Python code and execute it, the interpreter reads the code line-by-line, processes it, and produces the desired output.

    There are multiple ways to interact with the Python interpreter, and we will look at the two most common methods: Interactive Mode and Script Mode.

    1.1. Starting the Python Interpreter

    To start the Python interpreter, open a terminal or command prompt and type python (or python3 on some systems). When you press enter, you’ll see the Python prompt (>>>), indicating that Python is ready to accept commands interactively.

    Steps to Start Python Interactive Shell:

    1. Windows:
      • Open Command Prompt.
      • Type pythonand press Enter.

    Example:

    bash
    C:\Users\YourUsername> python

    Python 3.x.x (default, YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM:SS) [MSC v.XXXX 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

    Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

    >>>

    1. macOS/Linux:
      • Open Terminal.
      • Type python3and press Enter.

    Example:

    bash
    user@machine:~$ python3

    Python 3.x.x (default, YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM:SS) [GCC 8.x.x] on linux

    Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

    >>>

    Once the interpreter starts, you’re in Interactive Mode, where you can type Python statements and see results instantly.

    1.2. Basic Commands in Interactive Shell

    In Interactive Mode, you can write and execute Python code one statement at a time. For example:

    Printing a String:

    python
    >>> print(“Hello, Python!”)

    Hello, Python!

    Basic Arithmetic:

    python
    >>> 2 + 2

    4

    >>> 10 / 3

    3.3333333333333335

    Working with Variables:

    python
    >>> x = 5

    >>> y = 10

    >>> x + y

    15

    The output appears immediately after the command is executed, making it easy to test small pieces of code or quickly check the results.

    1.3. Exiting the Interactive Shell

    To exit the Python interpreter, simply type exit() or press Ctrl + Z (on Windows) or Ctrl + D (on macOS/Linux). You can also type quit() and press Enter.

    Example:

    python
    >>> exit()

     

    This will return you to the regular command line or terminal.

    2. Understanding REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop)

    The REPL stands for Read-Eval-Print-Loop, which is the process that the Python interpreter follows in Interactive Mode. Understanding this cycle is important because it describes how the interpreter works internally and how you can take advantage of it.

    Let’s break down each part of REPL:

    2.1. Read

    The first step in the REPL process is Read. The interpreter reads the expression or code you type in.

    • When you type a command or expression into the interactive shell, Python’s interpreter first reads it. The input could be an arithmetic operation, a function call, or any valid Python syntax.

    Example:

    python

    >>> 2 * 3 + 5

     

    Here, the interpreter reads the expression 2 * 3 + 5.

    2.2. Eval

    The second step is Eval. Once the input is read, the interpreter evaluates it.

    • Evaluationis the process where Python computes the result of the expression. If the expression is mathematical (like 2 * 3 + 5), it will calculate the result.
    • Python may also evaluate function calls, data structure operations, or other expressions depending on the code you provide.

    Example:

    python

    >>> 2 * 3 + 5

    11

     

    In this case, Python calculates 2 * 3 first (which gives 6) and then adds 5 to the result (giving 11).

    2.3. Print

    After the expression is evaluated, the interpreter prints the result. This is the third part of REPL.

    • The result of the evaluation is immediately shown to you as output in the shell.

    Example:

    python
    >>> 2 * 3 + 5

    11

     

    The result 11 is printed to the screen.

    2.4. Loop

    The final part is the Loop. Once the output is printed, the interpreter loops back and waits for the next input.

    • After showing the result, the REPL waits for your next command, and the cycle starts again.

    3. Advantages of Using REPL

    The REPL environment is one of Python’s greatest features, especially for beginners. Here are the key benefits:

    1. Interactive Learning: The REPL allows you to experiment with code in small chunks. You can instantly try out new functions, syntax, and expressions without needing to write an entire program.
    2. Debugging: It’s an excellent tool for testing and debugging. You can try out individual parts of your code, check for errors, and experiment in real-time.
    3. Immediate Feedback: The interactive shell gives you immediate feedback on the expressions you evaluate, making it perfect for learning and testing small code snippets.
    4. Exploration: You can explore Python’s built-in functions, libraries, and modules by typing them directly into the shell. For instance, typing dir()will list the attributes of an object, and help() will show documentation on a specific object or function.

    4. Practical Example of Using REPL

    Let’s go through an example of how to use REPL for quick calculations and experimenting with Python functions.

    Quick Calculations:

    python
    >>> 100 * 2

    200

    >>> 3 ** 4  # Exponentiation

    81

    Using Variables:

    python
    >>> x = 10

    >>> y = 25

    >>> x + y

    35

    Defining a Simple Function:

    python
    >>> def greet(name):

    >>>    return “Hello, ” + name

    >>> greet(“Alice”)

    ‘Hello, Alice’

    Exploring Python’s Built-in Functions:

    python
    >>> help(print)  # Get documentation for the print function

    In this lesson, we will introduce the fundamentals of Python syntax and structure, walk through writing a simple Python script, and show you how to run your Python code.

    1. Understanding Syntax and Structure

    Before we dive into writing your first Python program, let’s understand some basic concepts related to Python’s syntax and structure:

    What is Syntax?

    • Syntaxrefers to the set of rules that defines the structure of a programming language. In Python, this determines how you write commands, how variables are declared, and how various operations are performed.

    Python is designed to be readable and intuitive, making it easier for new programmers to learn.

    Key Points About Python Syntax:

    • Case sensitivity: Python is case-sensitive, meaning that helloand Hello would be treated as two different identifiers.
    • Indentation: Python relies on indentation (spaces or tabs) to define code blocks, unlike other programming languages that use curly braces {}or keywords like begin and end.
      • Code inside a block (e.g., within loops, functions, classes) must be indented at the same level. This makes Python code clean and easy to follow.

    Example:

    python
    print(“This is indented”)
    • Comments: Comments are used to explain the code and make it more readable. In Python, comments are indicated by a hash (#) symbol.
      • Anything following #in a line will be ignored by Python during execution.

    Example:

    python
    # This is a comment

    print(“Hello, World!”)  # This prints Hello, World! to the screen

    2. Writing a Basic Python Script (Hello World)

    Let’s start by writing your first Python program. The classic “Hello, World!” program is typically the first program that anyone writes in a new programming language.

    Step-by-Step Process:

    1. Open your IDE or Text Editor:
      • If you’re using an IDE like VS Code, PyCharm, or Thonny, create a new Python file with the extension .py(e.g., py).
      • If you’re using a simple text editor, save the file as py.
    2. Write the Code:
      • The print()function in Python is used to display output to the console. In this case, we want to print the text “Hello, World!”.
      • Here’s the simplest Python code to achieve this:
    python
    print(“Hello, World!”)
    1. Explanation of the Code:
      • print()is a built-in Python function that outputs whatever is inside the parentheses to the console or terminal.
      • The text “Hello, World!”is a string, which is a sequence of characters enclosed in quotation marks.
      • When this script runs, the Python interpreter reads the print()function and displays the string on the screen.

    Example:

    python
    # Hello World Program

    print(“Hello, World!”)

    3. Running Python Code

    Once you’ve written your Python script, it’s time to run the code and see the output. Running Python code can be done in several ways depending on your setup. Here’s how to execute the script:

    Running Python Code in an IDE (Integrated Development Environment):
    1. In VS Code or PyCharm:
      • Open the .pyfile you just created.
      • In VS Code, press Ctrl+F5or click the Run button (a green triangle) to execute the script.
      • In PyCharm, click the Runbutton (usually at the top of the window) or press Shift+F10.
    2. In Thonny:
      • Open Thonny IDE.
      • Write your code in the editor.
      • Press the Runbutton at the top of the window or press F5 to execute the code.
    Running Python Code from the Command Line (Terminal/Command Prompt):

    For Windows:

    1. Open Command Prompt.
    2. Navigate to the folder where your Python file is saved using the cd(change directory) command.

    Example:

    bash
    cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\PythonPrograms

    Run the Python script by typing the following command:

    bash
    python hello_world.py

    For macOS/Linux:

    1. Open Terminal.
    2. Navigate to the directory where your Python file is located.

    Example:

    bash
    cd /Users/YourUsername/Documents/PythonPrograms

    Run the script using:

    bash
    python3 hello_world.py
    Expected Output:

    After running the script, you should see the following printed on the screen:

    output
    Hello, World!

    4. Modifying the Script

    Once you’ve successfully written and run the basic script, try modifying it to make your own variations! Here are a few exercises:

    Change the Text: Modify the string to print something else, like:

    python
    print(“Welcome to Python Programming!”)

    Add More Print Statements: You can have multiple print statements to display different outputs.

    python
    print(“Hello, World!”)

    print(“Python is fun!”)

    Use Variables: Variables are used to store data. You can use a variable in a print() statement.

    python
    message = “Hello, Python!”

    print(message)

    Key Concepts Covered in This Lesson:

    1. Syntax and Structure: Understanding the importance of indentation and how Python handles code blocks.
    2. First Python Script: Writing and executing a simple Python script (Hello World).
    3. Running Python Code: How to run Python code using different methods (IDE, terminal/command prompt).
    4. Modifying Scripts: Exploring basic variations to modify and experiment with Python code.

    document.querySelector("form").addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
    if (!this.checkValidity()) {
    event.preventDefault();
    this.classList.add("was-validated");
    }
    });
    </script>

    🔹 What happens?

    • If the email field is empty, an error message appears.

    💡 Why Use Bootstrap with Vue.js?
    ✔️ Pre-built responsive UI components.
    ✔️ Works well with Vue’s reactivity system.
    ✔️ No need for jQuery – Fully Vue-friendly.

    🔹 2. Installing Bootstrap in a Vue Project

    There are two ways to use Bootstrap with Vue.js:

    1️⃣ Method 1: Using Bootstrap CDN

    ✅ Add Bootstrap’s CDN to index.html

    html
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">

    🔹 What happens?

    • You can use Bootstrap classes in your Vue templates, but you won’t have Vue components.

    2️⃣ Method 2: Installing Bootstrap via npm

    ✅ Run the following command in your Vue project:

    sh
    npm install bootstrap

    ✅ Import Bootstrap in main.js:

    javascript
    import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
    import 'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js';

    🔹 What happens?

    • This allows Bootstrap styles and JavaScript components to work in Vue.

    🔹 3. Installing & Using BootstrapVue

    BootstrapVue provides Vue components that work with Bootstrap.

    1️⃣ Installing BootstrapVue

    ✅ Run the following command:

    sh
    npm install bootstrap-vue

    vue
    <template>
    <b-button variant="primary">Click Me</b-button>
    </template>

    🔹 What happens?

    • The button uses Bootstrap’s primary button styling without needing classes.

    2️⃣ Example: BootstrapVue Grid System

    ✅ Example: Responsive Layout

    vue
    <template>
    <b-container>
    <b-row>
    <b-col cols="6" class="bg-primary text-white p-3">Column 1</b-col>
    <b-col cols="6" class="bg-secondary text-white p-3">Column 2</b-col>
    </b-row>
    </b-container>
    </template>

    🔹 What happens?

    <b-form-group label="Email">
    <b-form-input v-model="email" type="email" required></b-form-input>
    </b-form-group>
    <b-form-group label="Password">
    <b-form-input v-model="password" type="password" required></b-form-input>
    </b-form-group>
    <b-button type="submit" variant="success">Submit</b-button>
    </b-form>
    </template>

    <script>
    export default {
    data() {
    return {
    email: "",
    password: "",
    };
    },
    methods: {
    handleSubmit() {
    alert(`Email: ${this.email}, Password: ${this.password}`);
    },
    },
    };
    </script>

    🔹 What happens?

    • The form validates inputs and displays alerts on submit.

    🔹 6. BootstrapVue Tables

    BootstrapVue provides custom table components for displaying data.

    ✅ Example: Dynamic Table

    <b-table :items="users" :fields="fields"></b-table>
    </template>

    <script>
    export default {
    data() {
    return {
    fields: ["id", "name", "email"],
    users: [
    { id: 1, name: "Alice", email: "alice@example.com" },
    { id: 2, name: "Bob", email: "bob@example.com" },
    ],
    };
    },
    };
    </script>

    🔹 What happens?
