So I started with the usual print commands, moved onto arithmetic operators. It was interesting to get my math calculations done using Python. Wish I had known it earlier, my math homeworks would have been completed in seconds.               After that I practised some quizes in DataCamp which really helped me apply the basic knowledge I had, followed which I learnt about Input function. Just by learning these three concepts I was able to do some pretty cool programs like finding area of shapes, age calculator.               I think I learnt about the logical operators (and, or and not) whic

But here's the truth, every language has its own use.
