Python Programming: A Comprehensive Introduction

If we want to convey your message to each other while communicating, then the words we use do not necessarily mean in the same way to the other person who is listening or reading. So, it is very important to choose the words appropriately to communicate with others. The selected words should be taken in the same meaning by others so that what I say is perfectly understood in exactly the same way to them. Natural languages are built up with day to day conversations by people and inherently are having many ambiguities. In order to understand it, let's have a small quiz on language construct in which you need to select an appropriate answer for the asked question.

And the question is,

“Would you rather be paid PKR 20K weekly or biweekly?”.

So, people can answer this question in different ways such that.

Some may say that I prefer to be paid PKR 20K weekly.

Others may say that I prefer to be paid PKR 20K biweekly.

Some very cautious people may say that it depends. That it depends on how the person who is offering these options interprets the word biweekly.

Some very humble people may say that I don’t like to be paid at all. Willing to give only not to take.

So, what do you prefer?

Good! The answer that you have just given, is based on your understanding of the words that have been used in the question. It can also be of benefit to you or loss. Because the person who asked the question could have a different meaning of the ambiguous words. The question posed can have two meanings of biweekly.

If you search for the meaning of this word, you will find two meanings. One is to do the work twice a week and the other once in two weeks. So it can also be a benefit or a loss. Because if you thought the meaning of biweekly as twice a week and he or she also took the same meaning, who asked the question, then you got the benefit, but if the person who asked the question thought that biweekly means, once in two weeks, then you are at a loss.

In this case the first responder is in the benefit, but the second responder is at a loss. On the contrary, if biweekly means twice a week, the first one is at a loss while the second one is at a profit. Those who answered the third were already very careful, so they would get it confirmed the meaning of the word. And the fourth ones are always beneficial in that they just have to give to others, they don't want to take anything from anyone.

It showed how important it is to use the right words in a conversation. So if we want to get someone to do something, then it is the most important to get it right.

So if we want to get a computer to do a task for us, it is most important to use the right language, that is, the programming language. And to use the programming language correctly, knowing its keywords and understanding their grammar is crucial.

-blocks of code

-nested if/else

-elif

-give example from the problem at hand in this section too

explain how can we use tuples for key, value pairs and coordinates etc. Solving a problem that lists proposed where the index could only be numbers.

Explain how tuple helps keeping the related values together.

-Connect with hashmaps too

-Explain how is it a better way than tuples to store key value pairs

-Share your approach on the discussion forum

-share on fb group.

-peer evaluate.

This project idea is taken from the Udacity's course CS101 which is an introductory level course kind of like this one. For additional help and content, you can go through the original Udacity CS101 course playlist on Youtube
