In this complete Python course, the author emphasizes the importance of type casting. He includes his
personal tips and tricks for logic building and shares his handwritten notes for revision after the video.
According to him, Python is the language of logic building and the best way to learn Python from scratch.
The author cites Martin Van Everhard's bestselling book, which describes Python as the most successful
and popular way to teach and use the language. Additionally, the course is free of cost with source code
and notes available for download. Python can be used to develop a Python-like language for the first
time, and the course works on the language of programming languages. It is an easy and new way of
programming and has a new vocabulary for learners to use.
Python is a powerful way to give instructions to the computer that allow it to understand exactly what
task you're trying to perform. It works like pseudo code and is very readable, so there's no excuse not to
learn it! Python is a high level language, meaning there's no need for memory management like with C
and C++. It's built for people who just want to focus on their work, and Data Scientists and Machine
Learning enthusiasts can benefit from its features. Python can be used for Data Science, Machine
Learning, Game Development, and website development. To create a program with a name of your
choice, you can install extensions in Visual Studio Code. With Python, you can unlock the power of the
computer and create amazing things!
We've installed Python & VScode and we've put our complete setup here to do the code. Now we'll dive
deep into the code we've written & into the Python language. What is the meaning of this & how can
you write your own code? Let's take a look at 'built-in modules’ - these are modules which are
pre-installed with the installation of Python, such as 'Flask’, which is used to build websites. Our first
Python program consists of any name, just make sure it won't clash with the built-in modules, for
example don't name a file 'ABC' or 'Flask'. With the help of pip, which is a package manager for Python
that you get by default when you download the Python, you can install packages. There are two types of
modules in Python - Built-in Modules & External Modules. Now let's write our very first Python program
and say 'l've been walking on your steps'!
Python can be used as a calculator. We can input any valid Python code into Repl and it will execute
each line as it reads them. As our code grows, it becomes harder to manage in Repl, so we write Python
files. In Python, comments are text that you want to include in the program but do not want to execute.
To call a function, we use open and close parentheses (). When you press 'Enter' after writing `` exit() ",
you will be exited from your Repl. This was a brief overview of how to use Python as a calculator. This
chapter was about Repl and | hope you enjoyed it. If this is your first program ever, please leave a
comment below and | will help you with the practice set for chapter one which | have created for you.
Our program will print the poem "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and we will name it "twinkle.py".
