Now, it's time to dive into the actual coding.
Step 1: Opening Your IDE
Before we start with the actual code, we have to ask ourselves,
why do we code? We live in a world where everything is done
with computers. If we want to talk to our computer, we need to
understand their language, which is binary code. However, it's
not exactly possible to talk to a computer in binary code. So, we
created programming languages, like Python, to bridge the gap
between human and computer languages.
To start coding in Python, we need to open our Integrated
Development Environment (IDE). In this tutorial, we will be using
IDLE, which is one of the easiest IDEs to use.
Basic Operations in Python
Let's start with some basic operations. We will be using the
Python interpreter to execute our code. We will try out addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Addition: To add two numbers, we use the '+' symbol. For
example, 2+3=5.
Subtraction: To subtract two numbers, we use the '-'
symbol. For example, 9-8=1.
Multiplication: To multiply two numbers, we use the '*'
symbol. For example, 4*6=24.
Division: To divide two numbers, we use the '/' symbol. For
example, 8/4=2.0. Note that this gives us a float value.
We can also use brackets to group our operations. For example,
(8+9)-10=7.
We can also use exponentiation to find the power of a number. To
do this, we use the double asterisk '**' symbol. For example,
2**3=8.
Python Fundamentals
In Python, we can perform various operations like flow division
and modulus. For example, when we divide 10 by 3, we get the
