Study Notes

  • Math operations like subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed in Python.

Basic Math Functions in Python:

  • Addition: c = a + b
  • Subtraction: c = a - b
  • Multiplication: c = a * b
  • Division: c = a / b

Math Examples:

  • Arithmetic can be performed directly within the print statement.
  • When dividing integers, the result is a float.

Order of Operations:

  • Describes the specific sequence for executing math statements.
  • The order is: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (left to right), Addition/Subtraction (left to right).
  • Using the correct order of operations is important for accurate calculations.

Clarity and Readability:

  • Consistent spacing and logical code organization enhance readability.
  • Variables should have names that clearly indicate their purpose.
  • Clarity and readability are important when expressing algorithms in code.
