, Lecture 1 (30/01/2024)
What is Python?
Python is a programming language. It can do some calculations but is
more than just a regular calculator. It has a certain grammar. If you don’t
use the correct grammar, it will give an error.

Using Python as a calculator
Important to know are:
 Operator: these are special symbols that indicate that some sort of
computation should be performed. The operator operates on
values/operands. There are different types of operators:
o Arithmetic operators:
 Exponent: **
For example: 2 ** 3 = 8
 Modulus/remainder: %
For example: 22 % 8 = 6
 Integer division/floored quotient: //
For example: 22 // 8 = 2
 Division: /
For example: = 2.75
 Multiplication: *
For example: 3 * 5 = 15
 Subtraction: -
For example: 5 – 2 = 3
 Addition: +
For example: 2 + 2 = 4
o Comparison operators: these values are used to compare
and evaluate down to a single Boolean value.
 Equal to: ==
 Not equal to: ! =
 Less than: <
 Greater than: >
 Less than or equal to: < =
 Greater than or equal to: > =
 Value: these are also called operands. This is what the operator
acts on.
 Expression: a sequence of operands and operators. This is the total
sum.
 Evaluation: reducing the expression down to a single value. This is
the answer you’ll get in the end.
 Variables: we can store a value in a variable. It is basically like
saving a (temporary) file, storing it for later. For example: spam =
42. The variable spam now has the integer value 42 in it.
 Expression statement: this states that something is something.
