Python Coding Introduction

Python 3 programming tutorial, including installation in Windows; use of the integrated development environment (IDLE); defining, inputting and formatting string and numeric variables; creating IF statements and while loops; and importing libraries.

Note that Python 3 is already installed in Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi, and in many other Linux distros.

Nice explanation 👌👌👌

Please make a series of python programming

Perfect Timing!! Just today. Only a few hours ago, I downloaded and installed IDLE for a serious attempt at learning Python.
Then, just as I get some time to sit down and search for some Python tutorials, this video pops up first in my subscription feed!
Thank You Chris!

[MikeNewham]

Looking forward to this. Hope it turns into a series..

Seeing this makes me think that high-level programming hasn't changed much at all over the decades. Anybody who knew BASIC back in the 80's would pick this up very quickly, and it looks very similar to communications scripts (Procomm Plus ASPECT) that I programmed in the 90's.

Thanks, I managed to create a calculator by myself using this. Here's the code, took me about 5 minutes to do:

print('Welcome to the simple Python calculator')

number1=float(input('Enter a number'))

ans=input('Do you want to add(A), substract(S), divide(D) or multiply(M) that number?')
number2=float(input('What is the other number?'))

if ans=="A":
print('Answer=', number1+number2)

if ans=="S":
print('Answer=', number1-number2)

if ans=="D":
print('Answer=', number1/number2)

if ans=="M":
print('Answer=', number1*number2)

print('Thank you for using this simple Python calculator.')

I don't mind watching your videos even if they have 20mins or more, because all of them are really lovely. Very nice work indeed.
I'm learning python so this video is helpful as well. Thank you!

[CS-sezo]

Thank you so much, Chris! I've been learning python through other youtube tutorials and moocs, but you, sir, are entertaining. Thanks again! Please make a learning python playlist :)

[sonijonson]

you’re like Bob Ross for computers 😊👍🏼

[wecole]

Chris, I love all the little commentaries you always make, like "... again, aren't computers....AMAZING?!". LOL. It makes all your videos not just educational, but very entertaining!

[adroharv]

having learned only some C64 basic this is refreshingly similar. This is also just the sort of fundamentals I needed to fully confirm that Python is the language I need to learn. A good video then and certainly easier than some others. Would certainly appreciate a few more Python tutorial videos

Reminds me of the programs I wrote in BASIC in Middle school.

CLS
10 PRINT "What is your name?"
20 INPUT "...(Enter Your Name)...", a$
30 PRINT
40 PRINT "Hello, "; a$; ", I am your computer, nice to meet you."
60 END

This looks quite easy. Ive been doing some basic programming in Turbo Pascal when I was at school, but it turned out I wasnt the best at it. Thank you for showing how to deal with Python !

[DanDoesYoutube]

Great video as always! 😀 I already knew some programming and Python, but still found this great to follow.

[maquinarama]

Thanks!
I started Reading about python yesterday, so this Will be a great introduction!

[reggiep]

This reminded me of when the INPUT magazine came out in the UK in the early 80's and I was into typing in short programs into the BBC Micro that my Dad had got thru work and I continued using basic for simple programmes until my brother got an Amiga and my relationship with BASIC was well and truly over but I still remember a lot of the things I did and the hours I did typing in programs.

[dennissmithjr.]

I have always had an interest in Python, now you have lit a fire under that interest, thanks Chris.

[Abdulla]

This remind me of Qbasic, what fun that was, pressing F5 in Qbasic editor will run the program just like python editor in the video ... thank you for the video.

[prisonpapers]

My first experence with coding!In my Hosp.All of us nurses are going to New a paperless charting Program.and weren't looking forward to it.
Now I am not afraid of it. I embrace it after this class!Another winner Chris
you make it all look like a peice of Cake.

[twrw]

Takes me back to learning Basic on the Vic20 in the 80s.

I started with Java in a college course and I was confused for too long. I believe this video would have been a much better place to start.
