Programming For Adults

1. The document summarizes a Python coding event that covered: built-in features of Python like calculations and data types, variables, strings, user input/output, and conditionals. 2. Attendees learned how to use variables, index and slice strings, create a welcome message program, and boolean/comparison operators for conditionals. 3. As an example, a user-login program was demonstrated that uses conditionals to check a name and password and print a welcome message or invalid message.

Adam El M’Rabet IMSAL coding events 09/05/2018

IMSAL coding events for adults:


Learning Python (session 1)
• Python: is a (interpreted) high level programming language
• PyCharm: is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for the Python language.
So PyCharm is only a coding assistance, not a language. It provides features like code-
completon, quick fxes, error highlightng etc. (PyCharm itself is writen in Java & python).

Content of this session


1. Some built-in features of Python
1. Built-in calculator
2. Built-in datatypes (int, foat, str )
3. Built-in functons (input(), print())
4. How to make comments by using ‘#’
2. Variables
1. How to initalize a variable (by giving it a value)
2. How to modify the content of a variable
3. How to make mathematcal operatons with variables
4. How to name variables (multple words seperated by underscore (‘_’) not by a space !)
3. Strings
1. A string is an array of characters
2. How make indexaton and take slices of a string by using []
4. Applying the built-in functons to ask for user input and “outputngn a welcome message
5. Conditonals
1. Boolean datatype (True, False)
2. If, else.
3. Boolean operators (and, or)
6. Applying conditonals for making a user-login program (based on name and password)

1) Built-in features
Calculator >>>5+3 >>>5-3
8 2
>>>5*3 >>>5**3
15 125
>>>5/3 >>>5//3
1.6666666666666667 1

Datatype >>>type(2) >>>type(2.0)


int float

Ask for Input input() # When the compiler will reach this line, it
# will stop here and wait for some input (that
# finishes when hitting enter)

input("What is your name? ") # This will print out


# “What is your name? ”
# and wait for some input

Print on standard print(2) # → 2 print(2+2) # → 4


output stream print("Hello world !") # → Hello world

2) Variables
Initializing and >>>a = 2 # Always: variable-name at the LEFT gets
modifying >>>b = 3 # value at the RIGHT.

>>>a = b # It is ‘a’ that gets the value of ‘b’.


# ‘b’ stays unchanged !! (a=3,b=3)

>>>my_name = "Adam"

3) Strings
Indexing >>>my_word = "IMSAL"
>>>my_word[0] # Get first character (starts with 0)
'I'
>>>my_word[1] # Get second char
'M'
>>>my_word[-1] # Get last char
'L'
>>>len(my_word) # Get length of the string
5
Slicing >>>my_sentence = "IMSAL is cool" #Space counts as char
>>>my_sentence[6:8] # From pos 6 to 8(8 non included)
'is'
>>>my_sentence[5:6]
' ' # → empty string
>>>my_sentence[:5] # [:5] is same as [0:5]
'IMSAL'
>>>my_sentence[6:] # [6:] is same as [6:end]
'is cool'
>>>my_sentence[:] # [:] is same as [0:end]
'IMSAL is cool'

4) Welcome-message program
name = input("Hello, what is your name ? ")
print("Welcome", name)
/usr/bin/python3.6 /home/adam/Documents/IMSAL/CodingSessions/File1.py

Hello, what is your name ? Adam


Welcome Adam

5) Conditionals
Boolean operations >>>True and False >>>True and True >>>True or False
False True True
Comparison >>>a = 2 >>>b = 3

>>>a == b # Is a equal to b ?
False
>>>a != b # Is a not equal to b ?
True
>>>a < b >>>a >= b
True False
Conditionals a = 2
if a == 2:
print("something")
else:
print("something else")

6) User-login program
name = input("name: ")
password = input("password: ")
if name == "Adam" and password == "mypassword":
print("Welcome sir", name)
else:
print("Invalid name and/or password")

/usr/bin/python3.6 /home/adam/Documents/IMSAL/CodingSessions/File1.py

name: Adam
password: mypassword
Welcome sir Adam
