Day 2

Learning objectives

By the end of today, you will

  • get familiar with data types, _variables, and conversion of data types.
  • learn how to use conditional statements and loops.
  • be able to write simple functions.
  • read and understand Python codes.
  • write a simple Python code using conditionals and loops and functions.

Agenda

Today we will delve deeper into Python coding and learn its grammar and vocabulary.

  • First, let's start with checking in.
    • Were you able to install Python or Anaconda in your home machine?
    • Did you try and explore github or markdown notes
    • Did you try to write some more Python codes on your own? Did they work? Did they not work?
    • Did you post in the forum?
    • Did you participate in the poll?
  • Here's the plan for today
    • Do you have Google account?
      • Yes: We will use Google Colab instead of github Codespace for this program
      • No: Were you able to install Anaconda/Python in your laptop?
        • Yes: Let's use your laptop
        • No: Please borrow a laptop from the cart.
  • We will parctice on various types of variables, some conditional statements, loops, and functions together

Note: The decision process of whether to use Google or laptop is a conditional assessment. In pseudocode terms:

IF you have Google account
  Use Google Colab to run remotely
ELIF your laptop has Ananconda installed
  Use your laptop to run locally  
ELSE
  Borrow a laptop from the cart

Few things before we start

This file and the README file and many other files in this repository will be written using markdown. You can think markdown as a simple text-based tool to organize thoughts!

It is recommended that you try using markdown yourself, too. At least for this program. And see if you like it.

To get you started, here's a cheatsheet on Markdown (md)
