Python is widely used for data analysis because of its simple syntax, powerful libraries like Pandas and NumPy, and its ability to automate repetitive tasks, process large datasets, and integrate with machine learning workflows.
The core data structures are lists (ordered, allows duplicates), sets (unordered, unique values), and dictionaries (key-value pairs). Each is designed for different use cases in data manipulation and storage.
A list maintains insertion order and allows duplicate values, making it ideal for sequential data. A set stores only unique elements and is optimized for membership testing and removing duplicates.
Functions group reusable blocks of code under a name, reducing repetition and improving readability. They accept inputs as parameters and return outputs, making programs modular and easier to maintain.
A Python script can be executed from the terminal using the python command followed by the filename, or from an IDE like VS Code or Jupyter Notebook after Python has been installed and configured.
