1. Getting Started withPython @bethanyjep
2. Prerequisites – Python installed: python.org – Visual Studio Code Installed: code.visualstudio.com/Download – Jupyter Notebook extension on Visual Studio Code – Install git locally:
3. Git and GitHub Commands Push your code to GitHub for the world to see
4. Overview – Use functions to manage input and output to the console. – Create variables to store data. – Distinguish between data types. – Use type conversion to convert between data types. – Run code under a variety of conditions by using if, else, and elif statements.
5. Data Types Type Description Example(s) Numeric type Number, with or without decimals int, float, complex, no = 3 Text type String of characters str = "a literal string" Boolean type Boolean continue = True
6. Arithmetic Operators Type Description Example + Addition operator that adds two values together 1 + 1 - Subtraction operator that removes the value of the right side from the left side 1 - 2 / Division operator that divides the left side as many times as the right side specifies 10 / 2 * Multiplication operator 2 * 2
7. Assignment Operators Operator Example = x = 2 x now contains 2. += x += 2 x incremented by 2. If it contained 2 before, it now has a value of 4. -= x -= 2 x decremented by 2. If it contained 2 before, it now has a value of 0. /= x /= 2 x divided by 2. If it contained 2 before, it now has a value of 1. *= x *= 2 x multiplied by 2. If it contained 2 before, it now has a value of 4.
8. Conditional Logic – Equals: a == b – Not Equals: a != b – Less than: a < b – Less than or equal to a <= b – Greater than: a > b – Greater than or equal to a >= b
