Python Fundamentals for AI Programming
Python Basics
Variables and values
Variables store data that your program can reuse. For example, age = 12 assigns the number to the variable age. In AI work, variables may store numbers, text labels, lists, or arrays of data.
Common data types
Python uses types such as integers, floating-point numbers, strings, lists, and dictionaries. TensorFlow often works with numeric data, especially arrays and tensors.
Python Essentials
A simple programming pattern
-
1
Store an input value in a variable.
-
2
Transform the value with an operation or function.
-
3
Print or return the result.
-
4
Repeat for many examples if needed.
What does a variable do in Python?
Variables hold values so your code can use them later.
Correct answer: Stores data for later use
What is a function in programming?
Functions let you organize code into named actions.
Correct answer: Reusable code that performs a task.
Which type is most common for storing ordered numeric data in AI work?
AI commonly works with lists and arrays of numbers.
Correct answer: List or array
