The Python Mega Course: Build 10 Real World Applications

Learn how to write some simple Python code and execute it to get the output.

Earlier we wrote some very simple code. In this lecture we are going to create and run a small Python program.

A text summary of what you learned in this section.

Python objects can be referenced to names. These names are known as variables. Learn here how to reference objects to variables.

A curiosity about Python.

How do you know what method you need to do something? This lecture gives you a straightforward technique to find any code you need.

Let's stop for a while to see where we are so far in the learning process and how to efficiently learn what lies ahead in the course.

Dictionaries are the datatype you need for storing data that come in pairs. This video covers what you need to know about dictionaries.

A curiosity about Python.

Tuples are like lists, but they are more memory efficient. Learn how to create a tuple in Python and learn when to use a tuple and when to use a list.

So far you learned about the different Python datatypes. Here you will learn how these datatypes are actually used in real programs.

Here are some tips about being more efficient when using your computer terminal and the Python interactive shell.

Learn how to modify lists.

Learn how to extract an item from a list.

Learn how to extract small list slices out of a bigger list.

Learn how to extract items and slices using a negative index system.

Strings have exactly the same index system as lists. Learn about the details and see an example in this video.

Accessing items from a dictionary works on a key-basis. Learn how to access dictionary items in this lecture.

So far you learned how to use Python builtin functions. In this video you will learn how to create your own custom functions.

One of the most confusing notions for beginners is whether to use print or return in a function definition. This video clears that up.

Conditionals are code blocks that allow your program to make decisions. Learn how to create conditionals in this video.

Let's make sure we understand the benefit of conditionals by writing a more real-world conditional block.

The "and" operator is useful when checking if two conditions are true at the same time. Learn how to use "and" in this video.

Let's dive deep into how Python parses a conditional block.

Let's see some real-world examples of conditionals.

Using the "elif" statement allows you to check for an infinite number of conditions. Learn how to use "elif" in this video.

Let's make sure you understand 100% the role of white space in Python code.

Learn how to make programs that get input from the user and then process that input.

Learn how to dynamically construct strings with Python.

Learn how to dynamically construct strings using more than one variable.

Learn how to perform batch operations using for loops.

A for loop can even be used to call your own custom functions. Learn that in this video.

Applying a for loop over a dictionary is slightly different than applying it over a list, string, or tuple. Learn about the details in this video.

Here's an example of integrating a string formatting operation with a dictionary loop.

For loops iterate until a container is exhausted. While loops iterate as long as a condition is true. Learn how to create a while loop in this video.

Learn how to integrate while loops with use input.

Learn how to use the break and the continue statements inside a while loop for better control on the workflow.

Before we build the program let's first make sure we have well understood the problem this program have to solve.

Going directly into coding is a mistake. Let's first make a plan on how we want to tackle the coding of the program before we start writing any code.

Here we build the function that is going to convert the phrases into sentences.

Here we construct a while loop that is going to iterate over user input and gather information form the user.

Let's make the output of the program more user-friendly.

To create a new list out of an existing list you can use a for loop, but you can also use a list comprehension expression if you want your code to be shorter. This video explains how.

This video shows how to incorporate an if conditional inside a list comprehension.

This video shows how to incorporate an if-else conditional inside a list comprehension.

Learn how to define a function that takes more than one argument.

Learn how to create functions with both default and non-default parameters.

Some functions in Python can take an indefinite number of arguments when called. Learn how to design such functions.

Learn how to design functions that take any number of keyword arguments.
