We continue to practice programming. After the sixth chapter in the book: Michael Dawson “Programming in Python”, 2014 (Michael Dawson “Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner”, 3rd Edition), where I learned how to use functions, it’s time to move on to practice. Let’s do our homework together!

Function refinement ask_number() / hod_number()

Task: Modify the ask_number() or hod_number() function so that it can be called with one more parameter – multiplicity (step size). Set the default stride to 1.

A short summary of working with files in Python

Open and close a file

open() – open file and give directory path;

open("file", "r", encoding="utf-8") – open file for reading in Unicode encoding. Читать →

When you have installed Python, the question arises – how to start learning this language? Should I write commands through the console or do I need to install something else on the computer? There are many programming environments and solutions for Python, but for a beginner, it is preferable to choose from two:

• if you are learning Python for scientific purposes, then download Anaconda from www.continuum.io/downloads – this environment already includes Python, as well as such useful programs for programming and analytics as Spyder, Jupyter, IPython, R and others.
• you are learning Python for general development, then install the cool Sublime Text code editor from sublimetext.com; in this case, you will need to manually configure the Python interpreter to run the program written in this editor.

When we write any program in any programming language, sooner or later we want the result of our programming to be shown to the user. For this we use the command:

print(…) must be lowercase

Продолжаем практиковаться в программировании. После восьмой главы в книге: Майкл Доусон “Программируем на Python”, 2014 (Michael Dawson “Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner”, 3rd Edition), где я изучила принципы ООП и программные объекты / классы, пора переходить к практике. Сделаем домашнее задание вместе!

Краткий конспект ООП на Python

Программный объект – формальное представление реального объекта в языке программирования. Объекты создаются на основе классов. Читать →

We continue to practice programming. After the eighth chapter in the book: Michael Dawson “Programming in Python”, 2014 (Michael Dawson “Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner”, 3rd Edition), where I learned the principles of OOP and program objects / classes, it’s time to move on to practice. Let’s do our homework together!

A Brief Summary of OOP in Python

A program object is a formal representation of a real object in a programming language. Objects are created based on classes.
