When learning a new programming language, it is customary to start with an "hello world"

example. As simple as it is, this one line of code will ensure that we know how to print a
string in output and how to execute code within cells in a notebook.
# Try your first Python output

print('Hello, Python!')

After executing the cell above, you should see that Python prints Hello, Python!.
Congratulations on running your first Python code!
# Practice on writing comments

print('Hello, Python!') # This line prints a string


# print('Hi')

# Write your code below. Don't forget to press Shift+Enter to execute


the cell

# Write your code below. Don't forget to press Shift+Enter to execute


the cell

# Integer

11

# Float

2.14

# String

"Hello, Python 101!"

# Type of 12

type(12)

# Type of 2.14

type(2.14)

# Type of "Hello, Python 101!"

type("Hello, Python 101!")

In the code cell below, use the type() function to check the object type of 12.0.
# Write your code below. Don't forget to press Shift+Enter to execute
the cell
type(12.0)

float

We can verify this is the case by using, you guessed it, the type() function:
# Print the type of -1

type(-1)

# Print the type of 4

type(4)

# Print the type of 0

type(0)

Once again, can test some examples with the type() function:
# Print the type of 1.0

type(1.0) # Notice that 1 is an int, and 1.0 is a float

# Print the type of 0.5

type(0.5)

# Print the type of 0.56

type(0.56)

# System settings about float type

sys.float_info

# Verify that this is an integer

type(2)

# Convert 2 to a float

float(2)

# Convert integer 2 to a float and check its type

type(float(2))
# Casting 1.1 to integer will result in loss of information

int(1.1)

# Convert a string into an integer

int('1')

# Convert a string into an integer with error

int('1 or 2 people')

# Convert the string "1.2" into a float

float('1.2')

# Convert an integer to a string

str(1)

# Convert a float to a string

str(1.2)

# Value true

True

# Value false

False

# Type of True

type(True)

# Type of False

type(False)

# Convert True to int

int(True)

# Convert 1 to boolean

bool(1)

# Convert 0 to boolean

bool(0)
# Convert True to float

float(True)

# Addition operation expression

43 + 60 + 16 + 41

# Subtraction operation expression

50 - 60

# Multiplication operation expression

5 * 5

We can also perform division with the forward slash:


# Division operation expression

25 / 5

# Division operation expression

25 / 6

As seen in the quiz above, we can use the double slash for integer division, where the result
is rounded down to the nearest integer:
# Integer division operation expression

25 // 5

# Integer division operation expression

25 // 6

Let's write an expression that calculates how many hours there are in 160 minutes:
# Write your code below. Don't forget to press Shift+Enter to execute
the cell

Python follows well accepted mathematical conventions when evaluating mathematical


expressions. In the following example, Python adds 30 to the result of the multiplication
(i.e., 120).
# Mathematical expression

30 + 2 * 60

And just like mathematics, expressions enclosed in parentheses have priority. So the
following multiplies 32 by 60.
# Mathematical expression

(30 + 2) * 60

# Store value into variable

x = 43 + 60 + 16 + 41

# Print out the value in variable

# Use another variable to store the result of the operation between


variable and value

y = x / 60
y

# Overwrite variable with new value

x = x / 60
x

# Name the variables meaningfully

total_min = 43 + 42 + 57 # Total length of albums in minutes


total_min

# Name the variables meaningfully

total_hours = total_min / 60 # Total length of albums in hours


total_hours

# Complicate expression

total_hours = (43 + 42 + 57) / 60 # Total hours in a single


expression
total_hours
