Python for Informatics - Chapter 3 - Conditional Execution

Its so amazing. How can you explain these concepts so simply!! WOW!!

I find it interesting that traditionally a student is encouraged to read the text before the lecture. For me I find it useful to hear your explanation and see the demonstration and then when I go to the chapter, I read the words and basically hear them in your voice while reading. I just discovered this recently when just by pure fortune I read a Len Kleinrock article and wanted to find out if there was videos of the guy to see who he was. After experiencing his voice and personality I went back and reread the article and i found that it gave a whole different energy to the text and I could basically hear Len as I read his words! (Seeing Len punch the IMP to demonstrate the military hardness always makes me laugh)

Hello Chunk, you are such a great Teacher!
if you don't mind can you tell me if this is a right answer to the first Q?

rate = 15 H_of_working = 50
if H_of_working > 40 :
over_time = H_of_working - 40
rate = (rate * 1.5)
pay = rate * over_time
print pay

Thank you for letting us learn from you!

So why we did not use else here? if I did not use it finis does not print.
x = 5
if x < 10:
print ('Smaller')

if x >20:
print ("bigger")

else:
print "finis"

You are a great teacher

This is sinking into my brain more thoroughly than Udacity's Python course was. I think the reasons are...

1. Black background (easier on the eyes than white is).
2. Computer font instead of handwritten text.

I am aware that I may just be biased because this is the second time I have learned the basics of Python; the second time is always easier. The best way to test that, is to ask someone who has switched from this to Udacity, if they find Udacity easier than this. I'm pretty sure I'm not being biased though, but then I would say that - obviously.

So I have a question about your try/except sample. you asked to enter a number. -1 is a number?or not? it seems that all the numbers that are negative were not numbers in this littler program.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much for those amazing videos ❤️I m an art student from luxemburg and often surrounded by It students, I always have been faczinated by their work it s the complete opposide from what I am actually doing ( but in some way in programming you also have to be creative😂) I was so faszinated and had so many Questions that I also wanted to learn Programming but not only that I also wanted to learn how Computers work in Detail ( I was also willing to learn all those things bc every think will be more and more digitalised in the futur so it would be important to have at least a little bit of experience in it )
So I started with Java, bad Idea cause It wasn t easy to find good "tutorials" I mean the things i found where not that bad but someone who had no clue, it was difficult to understand, but still i learned the basics and those helped mee to understand python now much better but I guess that has also something to do with how good you can explain every step an detail and sometimes also in a funny way, a way that makes me remember it really quickly and also understand it much better ! I m really greatful for that, you are really talented in teaching !! 🫶😄
