Introduction

As a passionate programmer, I’ve always been on a quest to simplify and streamline my coding experience. In my journey to programming mastery, I’ve discovered that Python is a powerful language that can help me achieve this goal.

In 2024, Python remains one of the most popular and versatile programming languages, and mastering a handful of essential Python commands can significantly boost your programming skills. In this article, I’ll share with you the 25 Python commands that I believe are all you need to reach programming mastery in 2024.

Each command will be accompanied by code snippets and explanations to help you understand their importance and how to use them effectively.

Each of these commands or concepts is a building block in the Python programming language. Mastery of these would equip one with a strong foundation in Python, applicable across various fields such as web development, data science, automation, and more. Remember, the key to mastering Python, or any programming language, is consistent practice and application.

print(): The simplest yet indispensable command for displaying output in Python.

print("Hello, Python!")

Async and Await for Asynchronous Programming: For handling asynchronous tasks.

import asyncio 
async def main():     
    print("Hello")     
    await asyncio.sleep(1)     
    print("world") 
asyncio.run(main())

input(): Allows user input, making your programs interactive.

name = input("What's your name? ")

variables: Essential for storing and manipulating data.

age = 25

if-else statements: Used for decision-making in your code.

if age >= 18:
    print("You are an adult.")
else:
    print("You are a minor.")

for loop: Ideal for iterating over sequences like lists and strings.

for i in range(5):
    print(i)

while loop: Repeats a block of code while a condition is true.

count = 0
while count < 5:
    print(count)…
