Getting started with Python for free

Learn Python data types, including integers, floating point numbers, and strings, plus variables, syntax rules, naming conventions, escape sequences, string formatting with percent notation, and comments.

Demonstrates a Python program that asks the user to guess the year Apollo 11 landed on the moon, using a while loop and int conversion.

Create a Python program that calculates and displays the average of three student scores using IDLE. Compute total and average from 45, 74, and 63, then print the two-decimal result.

Define the problem, gather resources, and set a clear goal before coding to streamline solving. Brainstorm, assess alternatives, choose a solution, and execute within the program development cycle.

Model a bus fare calculation in Python by defining regular and rush hour fares, computing total cost from rides, and formatting the result to two decimals.

Learn to get string data from the user in Python, prompt for input, store it in a variable, and use if statements with comparison and boolean operators.

Respond to the python shell input prompt by entering the required values, from who are you to Hello Guled, what is the password, then type swordfish to gain access.
