Study Notes

Functions in Python

  • The int function is used to convert user input into an integer data type.
  • The input function is used to get user input, which is a string by default, and display a prompt to the user.
  • The program asks the user to enter a value, which is then assigned to a variable.
  • Assigning the user's value to a variable, such as temp, is used to store the input value for further processing.

IDLE

  • When saving a file in IDLE, it should be appended with a .py extension.
  • IDLE makes the program easier to read by providing syntax highlighting and formatting.
  • The shell window in IDLE is used to run the program and display the output.

Running the Program

  • The Run Module option should be chosen in IDLE when the program is ready to be executed.
  • After choosing Run Module, IDLE will ask the user to save the file if it has not been saved before.
  • The eval function is used to parse the expression passed to it and execute Python code within the program.
  • The primary function of the print function is to display output to the screen.
  • The sep argument in the print function is used to specify a separator between values, such as : or ##.
  • The end argument in the print function is used to specify what should be printed at the end of the line, such as a newline or a space.

Best Practices

  • It is important to use lowercase in Python statements as Python is case-sensitive.
  • Python relies on precise placement of commas and parentheses to avoid syntax errors.
  • If you run a program with input statements and nothing seems to be happening, it may be because the program is waiting for user input.
