Python for Beginners — Learn Coding in 1 Hour

⏱️ Minute 0-10: Print & Variables

# Your FIRST Python program!
print("Hello, World!")
print("I am learning Python!")

# Variables — store data
name = "Rahul"
age = 20
city = "Mumbai"

# Use variables in print
print(f"My name is {name}")
print(f"I am {age} years old")
print(f"I live in {city}")

⏱️ Minute 10-20: Input & Decisions

# Get input from user
name = input("What is your name? ")
age = int(input("How old are you? "))

# Make decisions
if age >= 18:
    print(f"{name}, you can vote! ✅")
else:
    print(f"{name}, you're too young to vote ❌")
    print(f"Wait {18 - age} more years")

⏱️ Minute 20-35: Loops & Lists

# Print 1 to 10
for i in range(1, 11):
    print(i)

# List of items
fruits = ["Mango", "Apple", "Banana", "Grapes"]

# Loop through list
for fruit in fruits:
    print(f"I like {fruit}")

# List operations
fruits.append("Orange")    # Add
print(f"Total: {len(fruits)} fruits")

⏱️ Minute 35-50: Functions

# Create reusable code blocks
def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}! Welcome to Python 🐍"

print(greet("Rahul"))
print(greet("Priya"))

# Function with calculation
def calculate_grade(marks):
    if marks >= 90: return "A+"
    elif marks >= 75: return "A"
    elif marks >= 60: return "B"
    else: return "C"

print(calculate_grade(85))  # A
print(calculate_grade(92))  # A+

⏱️ Minute 50-60: Mini Project — Grade Calculator!

# 🎓 Student Grade Calculator
print("=" * 30)
print("  STUDENT GRADE CALCULATOR")
print("=" * 30)

name = input("Enter student name: ")
maths = int(input("Maths marks: "))
science = int(input("Science marks: "))
english = int(input("English marks: "))

total = maths + science + english
average = total / 3
percentage = (total / 300) * 100

if percentage >= 90: grade = "A+"
elif percentage >= 75: grade = "A"
elif percentage >= 60: grade = "B"
elif percentage >= 40: grade = "C"
else: grade = "FAIL"

print(f"\n📊 Report Card for {name}")
print(f"Total: {total}/300")
print(f"Percentage: {percentage:.1f}%")
print(f"Grade: {grade}")
print("Congratulations! 🎉" if grade != "FAIL" else "Need improvement 📚")
