Part One: Conclusion

If you have made it this far, CONGRATULATIONS. You have learned a lot and on your way to becoming a programmer with Python 3. You have also learned enough to consider looking at other programming languages as well.

Here is a summary of what was learned so far:

• You can now install Python 3 and an IDE of your choice to write and execute your codes.

• You know what strings are and that they are enclosed in quotation marks (double or single). You know what the different types of numbers are; that is integers (int) and floating-point (float).

• You know how to comment out parts of your code so it does not execute with the # key.

• You know what variables are and how they are used to store a string or a number.

• You can now use the built-in function input() to accept inputs from a user as strings, integers or floats. 

• You can now also use the built-in function print() to display results of your code. You can print strings and/or numbers and you can also use the f’string technique.

• You can add methods to your string by using the dot to make your strings lower case, upper case etc.

• You can also use arithmetic manipulation on numbers to add, subtract, multiply etc.

• You have also written a few programs to do some tasks like kilometre to miles conversion, calculate the area of a square, etc.

If required you can go back and review the lessons discussed earlier and you could also watch the videos again.

In Part Two we would learn about collections and flow control.
