Unit #1-01

Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• write and run your first program in Python

Review

• review logging into GitHub

• starting up your Codespace IDE

Lesson

• what is the Python programming language (see video "The Story of Python")

  • interpreted language (i.e. interpreter executes the code line by line, one line at a time)

  • cross-platform language

  • free and open source

  • and many others, ...

• go over the history of "Hello World!" program

• go over how to use an IDE to create a Python program

  • see files and folders, (see image below: ↓)

    • ensure you are in the correct location!

    • look, no special characters and no spaces!!!

    • create a Python document

    • saving and naming a Python files (hello_world.py)

    • always create and name the file first, so the IDE knows the language, so it can provide help!

    • remember to use "good laziness" and let the computer help you with Code Completion

    • run your program

    • do demo of "Hello, World!" program (see video "Hello, World! in Python using Codespaces" : ↓))

    • go over how to run your program

      • python ./hello_world.py
        
        
        

• do demo of how to submit daily assignments

  • just screenshot the "terminal" when showing me your running program, NOT the entire screen

  • copy in code and then paste in your code using "plain text"

    • then "color" it with the Google Docs Add-on "Code Blocks"

    • ENSURE you use VS2015 theme ONLY and the correct language

    • see Jane Smith example below: ↓

Activity

• create python file in your Codespace IDE

  • create the "Hello World!" program for yourself  (see terminal & image below: ↓)

  • python ./hello_world.py

Daily Assignment

• create the "Address program" (see terminal & image below: ↓):

• use the provided Google Doc to submit your work

  • take a screenshot of your terminal output and add it to the "screenshots" section

    • python ./address.py

    • ensure I can see all the output

  • paste the code into the "code" section

    • ensure you "color" it correctly 

      • use CodeBlocks

    • see Jane Smith model solution (see file below: ↓)

Extra

• create "address program" in another language:

  • • once you get it working, add it under today's submission

    • see screenshot below: ↓

    • compile and run your program
      gcc ./Address.c -o Address
      ./Address
