Python - Level One

Let’s learn something!


Django Bootcamp

● Welcome to Python Level One!


● We’ve learned so much already that it
may seem a bit crazy that we are only
reaching Python now!
● Your previous programming experience
will make learning Python a breeze!
Django Bootcamp

● Over Level One and Level Two we will be


covering a lot of the same general
programming topics from Javascript and
then expanding these to learn about
Object Oriented Programming.
Django Bootcamp

● If you have already taken a Python


course you may already know a lot of
what we are going to cover.
● You may find it easier to skip ahead to a
section instead of starting from the
beginning.
Django Bootcamp

● Let’s outline the topics of both Levels to


give you an idea of where to start!
Django Bootcamp

● Python Level One


○ Numbers,Strings,Lists,Dictionaries
○ Tuples, Sets, Booleans
○ Control Flow
○ Functions
Django Bootcamp

● Python Level Two


○ Scope
○ Object Oriented Programming
○ Errors and Exceptions
○ Decorators
○ Regular Expressions
Django Bootcamp

● Utilize the curriculum outline to jump to


the lecture you feel is the most
appropriate starting point for you!
● Or if you are a complete beginner, just
start from here!
Django Bootcamp

● It has been a long learning journey so far


just to reach this point, congratulate
yourself!
● Everything you’ve learned so far is
challenging material, so remind yourself
that you are awesome!
Django Bootcamp

● Python Level One and Two are the only


things standing between you and the
main course topic - Django.
● So let’s dive in and get started with
setting up Python and Atom text editor!
Python
Installation and Set-up
Let’s learn something!
Django Bootcamp

● For this course we will install Python


using the Anaconda distribution.
● A distribution is just a version of Python
that also come pre-packaged with
additional useful libraries.
Django Bootcamp

● The Anaconda distribution is quite large,


so we will be leaving the full download of
it as optional.
● We will show how to install miniconda, a
smaller version of Anaconda without the
additional packages.
Django Bootcamp

● If you already have Anaconda or Python


on your computer feel free to skip this
installation lecture, but make sure to
watch the ending where we set-up and
configure Atom to have a terminal.
● Let’s get started!
Part 1 - Numbers
Python - Level One
Django

● Numbers in Python have two main forms


○ Integers
○ Floating Point Numbers
● Integers are whole numbers, floating
point numbers have a decimal in them
○ Integer: 23 Floating Point: 23.5
Django

● Let’s quickly walk through some


examples of very basic arithmetic for
Python.
● We will also cover variable assignment in
Python and what makes it a dynamic
programming language.
Part 2 - Strings
Python - Level One
Django

● Strings in Python are used to hold text


information and are indicated with the
use of single or double quotes.
● They are a sequence of characters,
meaning they can be indexed using
bracket notation.
Django

● Let’s explore the basics of strings, some


useful methods, and more with Python!
Part 3 - Lists
Python - Level One
Django

● Lists are Python’s form of Arrays.


● They behave very similarly to a Javascript
Array.
● Let’s begin to understand their
important features with Python!
Part 4 - Dictionaries
Python - Level One
Django

● Dictionaries are Python’s version of Hash


Tables (Objects back in Javascript)
● They allow us to create a “mapping” with
key-value pairs.
● They don’t retain any order!
● Let’s get started!
Part 5 -
Tuples, Sets, Booleans
Python - Level One
Django

● Tuples are immutable sequences.


● Sets are unordered collections of unique
elements.
● Booleans are just True and False as
before.
● Let’s get started!
Part 6 - Exercise Review
Python - Level One
Django

● You’ve learned about the basic data


types and structures in Python, now it is
time to put your new skills to the test!
● The Part6_Exercise_Review.py file has
commented tasks for you to complete,
let’s take a quick look!
Part 6 - Exercise Review
Solutions
Python - Level One
Part 7 - Control Flow
Python - Level One
Django

● In this lecture we will discuss the Python


syntax for control flow, this will include
operators, if/else if/ else statements, and
loops.
● We won’t cover the main principles, just
the general syntax.
Part 8 - Functions
Python - Level One
Django

● Functions in Python use the def


keyword.
● We will also talk a bit more about some
useful methods, which behave as
function you can call off of an object.
● Let’s get started!
Part 9 - Function
Exercises
Python - Level One
Django

● Let’s take a look at some function


exercises for you to answer!
● Relevant files are:
○ Part9_Functions_Exercises.py
○ Part9_Functions_Exercises_SOLUTIONS.py
Part 9 - Function
Exercises - Solutions
Python - Level One
Part 10 -
Simple Game Project
Python - Level One
Django

● We’ve learned enough Python for you to


create a simple command line game.
● Let’s discuss the rules of the game and
then show you an example run through
of a finished game!
Django

● The computer will think of 3 digit


number that has no repeating digits.
● You will then guess a 3 digit number
● The computer will then give back clues.
● Based on these clues you will guess
again until you break the code with a
match!
Django

● The possible clues are:


○ Close: You've guessed a correct
number but in the wrong position
○ Match: You've guessed a correct
number in the correct position
○ Nope: You haven't guess any of the
numbers correctly
Django

● You will need to look-up a few things on


your own to complete this project, check
out the hints left for you in this file:
