Introduction to Programs Data Types and Variables

Writing a basic program. Basics of data types, variables and conditional statements

First Program is not Hello World?? this is blasphemy

[gregorywilliams]

How is this guy so passionate with so many different study fields... Talent!!

[jakeambrose]

compliment- one of the toughest and most annoying challenges to finding learning material is finding stuff where the teacher talks crisp and efficiently and isnt wasteful. in 2 seconds im already glad a found this. thank you and well done

Khan Academy is human innovation at its finest! <3

[jokerushun]

passion -> drive -> success. good job salmon, loving what you're doing for the future education system. i just graduated from a master's degree and really wished i had access to these videos in my high school, as they would've helped me much more with my core skills. i'll try talking my cousin in high school to watching these!

ok, I just looked that up on wiki and it said "Salman Khan holds four degrees: a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, as well as an MS in electrical engineering and computer science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MBA from Harvard Business School" I'm having a difficult enough time with one degree and can't wait to get out of school lol.

A very good introduction to Python programming, and programming in general. Just what I needed. For a long time now I've thought of learning to program, as it will be advantageous for me to know it before I start with a computer science course. Thanks very much.

I have computer science this semester and I am STRUGGLING with it. I used Khan academy for math help but I recently discovered the comp. science playlist. Watching him do math has helped me a lot and I have just watched half a video of comp. sci by him and I know without a doubt that he will explain it to me :)

[PhantomKThief]

Mr Khan is best teacher of the world, he can teach anything to anyone, sir I want to learn Java please make some tutorials on your website just like the html ones :)

[JohannSuarez]

Woah, I've watched over 300 of his math videos and now I just found out he also teaches Python. Is there anything Sal Khan doesn't know? Hahaha

[miqbri]

In languages like java, you would use {} to specify such code block. Python uses white space instead. This means that if the print you're referring to was embedded under the else, then it would consider it as part of the else.

This might a little confusing at first, but after couple hours/days you realise that you would format the text like this anyways, unless you write code as a pig and so it makes the code actually even more readable..

Finally you're covering programming aswell?
You must be my personal hero!

[yomamasofat]

I love you khan! I've watched your video on maths and econs and now coding! how can you know so much? <3 your explanations are really simple and easy to follow and your voice is so clear

[AlanMorales]

Thanks SO MUCH for doing Computer Science videos!!! I can't describe how excited I am to know that my favorite teacher is making videos of my favorite subject, for everyone :D

[scientia_potentia_est]

Wow!!!, this is so exciting I'm really looking forward to watch this whole playlist and learn tons of new stuffs about computer programming, Thanks a lot Sal!!! you'r the best

[Gtajora]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating a computer science / Programming playlist!!!

Hopefully you'll branch out to more programming languages!

[supbrotv]

great video!i went through 7 or 8 exercises in codeyear but didnt know what if or else did but this video explained everything in 11 minutes

[yyyy]

This guy is really doing the world something good.

[usmanahmad]

I looked this up as a joke, this man is simply universal.
