Quotes about python
• The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable
classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code --
not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death.

- Guido van Rossum


• My favorite language for maintainability is Python. It has simple, clean
syntax, object encapsulation, good library support, and optional
named parameters.

- Bram Cohen
…
• As it seems to me, in Perl you have to be an expert to correctly make
a nested data structure like, say, a list of hashes of instances. In
Python, you have to be an idiot not to be able to do it, because you
just write it down.
- Peter Norvig
• In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from
many other languages & styles: boring syntax, unsurprising semantics,
few automatic coercions, etc etc. But that's one of the things I like
about Python.
- Tim Peters

quality.

What is a program?
A program is actually a sequence of instructions that specify how to
perform a calculation.
Instruction’s components
• Input
• Output
• Math
• Conditional execution
• Repetition
IDE
• Integrated Development Environment

IDLE
Values and Types
8 Integer
2.0 floating-point number
‘Hello world!’ string
Bugs and Debugging
• Bugs are programmer’s error

• The process of finding these errors is called debugging


Expression and statement
• Expression is a combination of values, variables and operators.

• A statement is a code unit that has an effect.
