I'll add the scenes sub directory shipped with POV-Ray contains a large 
number of working examples.

In particular for the kinds of questions being asked in this thread, 
there is a portfolio sub directory. The *.ini files must be run for the 
POV-Ray features of interest. For example, "povray allpatterns.ini" 
creates pngs for most-all of the in-built POV-Ray patterns.

After creation of the pngs, you can view an example of each feature by 
bringing up index.html in a web browser. For example, "firefox 
index.html". The *.pov files used for the portfolio provide ready 
corresponding example code for the features a basis for further 
experimentation and learning.

Running all the *.ini files takes a little time and it creates about 
20MB of data in total using the set up as shipped. I use the portfolio 
less these days, but on starting with POV-Ray, I found it very useful.
