Syntax

Indentation: Python uses indentation to define code blocks, in the Python style guide it's recommended to keep it at 4 spaces.
Functions: Defined using the def keyword, such as:

   def greet(name):
       return f"Hello, {name}!"

List, Dictionaries an Tuples: Built-in data structures for collections.

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]  # List - mutable, ordered
person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}   # Dictionary - mutable, key-value pairs
coordinates = (10, 20)                  # Tuple - immutable, ordered
