Introduction to Programming

Python is a high-level programming language—meaning it is a programming language that is closer to human language

An algorithm is a process that employs a set of predefined rules in order to solve a computational problem within a finite number of steps

Data types

• Booleans True, False
• Integers 1, 2, 100, -1, +1
• Floats 3.14, 0.00001, -0.1
• Strings “Hello world”, ‘I am a python script’

Expressions

• Addition (+) 1+1, “1”+“1”
• Subtraction (-) 2-4, 31.5-22.4
• Multiplication (*) 10*10, 50*-1
• Division (/) 1/100, 100/1
• Modulus (%) 10%3, 20%4
• Power (**) 2**10, 10**2

I will not continue writing notes for this class as I already know python hehe (sorry)
