🧠 Day 01: Python Basics Unlocked – Variables, Operators & I/O

Today marks the beginning of my AI learning challenge — and I’m starting right at the roots: Python basics.

Here’s a simple breakdown of what I explored today:

1️⃣ Variables – Your Data Containers 📦
Variables are like little boxes that hold data for you — whether it’s a name, a number, or something more complex.

🧾 Example:

my_name = "Rudra"
Here, my_name is the label, and "Rudra" is the value stored in it.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2️⃣ Operators – Action Heroes of Code ➕➖✖️➗
Operators let you perform tasks on your data, like math or comparisons.

Types of Operators:

  • Arithmetic: +, -, *, /
  • Comparison: ==, !=, <, >
  • Logical: and, or, not

🧾 Example:

 total = 10 + 5
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3️⃣ Input & Output – Talking to Your Code 🗣️👂
I/O lets your program interact with the outside world.

Input gets data from the user

Output shows data to the user

🧾 Example:

user_name = input("What's your name? ")
print("Hello, " + user_name + "!")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🧭 Why These Matter
These three concepts — variables, operators, and I/O — are the foundation of everything you'll build in Python. Mastering them means unlocking the door to more advanced topics like data structures, algorithms, and AI models.

I’m logging my journey daily. If you’re just starting out too, I’d love to hear what concepts helped you the most. Drop a comment below! 👇
