1. First Acquaintance

In this section, you'll dive into the basics of Python, familiarize yourself with your workspace, tackle simple math operations, and display your results.

The Very First Steps

Some Simple Math

More Challenging Math

Bringing It All Together

2. Variables and Types

Here, you'll learn how to store items like numbers and text in computer memory, recalling them by name. You'll also get a taste of text manipulation in Python.

Storing Numbers

Using Variables

String Indexing

Negative Indexing and Length

3. Conditional Statements

Here, you'll delve into the boolean data type and discover its role in creating programs that respond to specific conditions.

Boolean Data Type

Challenge: Comparison Operators

Combining Conditions

Challenge: Logical Operators

Membership Operators and Types Comparison

Simple if/else Expressions

Challenge: Grocery Store

Challenge: Odd and Even

if/elif/else Expressions

Challenge: Grocery Store Extended

Challenge: Positive, Negative or Zero

4. Other Data Types

Continuing with data types, this section will teach you how to group varied attributes within a single variable using lists, tuples, and the dictionaries.

What Is a List?

What Is a Tuple?

What Is a Dictionary?

Dictionary Methods

5. Loops

In this part, you'll master the art of writing loops in Python – essential constructs for iterating over lists, tuples, dictionaries, and even future dataframes.

Iterating Over Indexes

6. Functions

To wrap up our introductory course, you'll explore some built-in functions and then embark on creating your very own!

Built-in Functions

Challenge: Grocery Store Extended

Task

Update the code from the earlier challenge about your small grocery store. Now, if the store's revenue is exactly $2000, the program should print "We are breaking even!" instead of "Everything is ok!". Incorporate this new response using an elif statement.
