python

Why use python?

it's is open source
it was created by Guido Van Rossum
It has a ton of modules
It was some crazy software built with it such as blender
and for more background its wiki is @ Python

python shell

From a terminal windows type "Python"

you should see >>>
type print("hello world")

MATH TIME!

5 + 4
5 - 4

a = 3
b = 4
c = a**2 + b**2
print(c)

Modulo yields a remainder from the division of the first argument by the second.

9%3
9%2

What are the results when you run the code in python?



blah = 1.2
newblah = blah * 4
Result of newblah?
intblah = int(newblah)
Result of intblah?

unary vs binary vs ternary vs logic

We now have logic to worry about.

blah = 5
if blah = 5:
   print("ich")

if blah == 5:
   print("ich")

if blah != 5:
   print("ich")
