🐍 Python Learning Journey

Welcome to my Python Learning Repository!
This repo documents my hands-on journey of learning Python step by step.
Instead of just theory, I’m building mini-projects for each topic to understand the concepts better.

📚 Topics Covered So Far

1️⃣ Strings (Immutable Datatype)

• Learned about string properties and methods.
• Key methods: lower(), upper(), find(), replace(), split(), join(), strip(), len().
• Practiced indexing, slicing, and transformations.

---

2️⃣ Mutable Datatypes

• Lists → dynamic arrays with methods like append(), remove(), pop(), insert(), sort(), etc.
• Sets → unordered collections with unique elements. Explored union(), intersection(), difference().
• Dictionaries → key-value pairs for fast lookups. Learned get(), keys(), values(), items(), update().

---

3️⃣ Conditionals (Decision Making)

Explored if, elif, else, nested conditionals, ternary operators, and match-case.

✅ Mini Projects Built:

1. Smart Kettle Notification System → Alerts when water is ready.
2. Snack Suggestion System → Suggests snacks based on user input.
3. Cup Size Price System → Calculates price based on cup size (small/medium/large).
4. Smart Thermostat Alert System → Checks device status + temperature before giving alerts.
5. Delivery Fee Waiver → Uses ternary operator to decide free delivery.
6. Train Seat System → Uses match-case to decide seat category.

4️⃣ Loops (Iteration & Flow Control)

Explored for-loops, while-loops, loop controls (break, continue), and Python’s unique for-else construct.

✅ What’s inside:

• for-loop/ → 6 beginner-friendly mini projects using for loops.
• while-loop/ → 2 practical mini projects using while loops.
• break-continue/ → Real-world inspired examples showing loop control in action.
• for-else/ → Examples + explanation of how for-else works in real scenarios.

Each section is explained with chai-inspired ☕ real-world examples + clear code comments, making loops easier and fun to learn.

🚀 Goal of This Repo

• Learn Python from basics to advanced concepts.
• Reinforce learning with real-world inspired projects.
• Document the entire journey in a structured way.

---

📌 Next Steps (Roadmap)

• 🛠️ Functions (with parameters, return values, scope)
• 🎯 OOP (classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism)
• 📦 Modules & Packages
• ⚡ File Handling & Exceptions
• 🌐 Advanced Topics (Decorators, Generators, Async, etc.)
