Python worksheet 1
Task Completed

1 Open Idle on your computer. Idle is the program that allows you to write your 
Python code.

Click the Type Idle and open


Idle (Python 3.6). You will open the shell of the Idle program.

windows
button.

2 The shell is used to type basic code. For instance, you can do some basic Maths 
calculations. Type the following calculations followed by the enter key. Write the
answer next to each one.

 a) 3*3
 b) 48/3
 c) 270 + 426
 d) 155578 – 1234
 e) 8 ** 2

You will see that each calculation takes the same time to complete and that we use different mathematical
operators for multiply and divide in Python than when we are doing Maths in our exercise books.

3 When we write our code in Idle we don’t usually use the shell. Instead we use the 
editor. Open the editor on your computer.

Python
Python is its own language and it has its own syntax. This is the structure of
statements and words in that are used in Python. A bit like English has its own
structure of sentences and words and so do other languages such as Spanish or Urdu.
There are other computer programming languages such as Java or C++.

Print statements
By using the print function, you can produce simple statements.

The print command here is colour coded. It is purple and that means it is part of the Python library.
Python functions are case-sensitive which means they
must always be in lower case (small letters). The
statement you wish to ‘output’ must be inside
opening and closing brackets and speech marks. If you have done this correctly, it will appear in
green.

4 Type the code shown above into your Idle editor and run the code. 

Running your code

Click F5 on the top row of your Click OK to save Your code will output in the
keyboard shell
