Introduction to Programming Python Lab 1: My First Program PythonLab1 lecture slides.ppt Ping Brennan (p.brennan@bbk.ac.uk) 3 October 2017

Module Information Lecturers: Tingting Han (afternoon class) Steve Maybank (evening class) Full Time Lectures: MAL 109, 14.00 – 15.20 Full Time Laboratory: ITS Laboratory MAL 109, 15.40-17.00 Part Time Lectures: UCL Malet Place Engineering 1.02, 19.40-21.00 Part Time Laboratory: DCSIS Laboratories MAL 404 and MAL 405, 18.00-19.20 Teaching Assistants: Ping Brennan, Tobi Brodie and Dilek Celik Note: Laboratory classes are designed to reinforce the materials covered in the lecture. Module materials: http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~sjmaybank/ITP autumn 2017/introduction to Programming.html

Getting Started Create a new folder in your disk space with the name PythonLab1 Launch the Python Integrated Development Environment (IDLE) - begin with the Start icon in the lower left corner of the screen. If you are in a DCSIS laboratory, search using the keyword Python and click on IDLE (Python 3.5 64 bit) . A window with the title Python 3.5.2 Shell should appear. This window is the Shell.

Getting Started (2) If you are in the ITS laboratory MAL 109, select the options in the order shown: Start -> All Programs -> Departmental Software -> Computer Science -> Python 3.4 -> IDLE (Python 3.4 GUI – 64 bit) A window with the title Python 3.4.4rc1 Shell should appear. This window is the Shell. If the window does not appear then click on Start and then in the box Search programs and files write IDLE. A list will appear. Click on IDLE(Python 3.4 GUI – 64 bit). A window with the title Python 3.4.4rc1 Shell should appear. This window is the Shell. In the Shell click on File. A drop down menu will appear. Click on New File. A window with the title Untitled should appear. This window is the Editor.

Getting Started (3) In the Editor, click on File, and then in the drop down menu click on Save As… . A window showing a list of folders should appear. To search any folder on the list, double click on the folder. Find the folder PythonLab1 and double click on it. In the box File name at the bottom of the window Type HelloWorld.py Then click on the button Save in the lower right corner of the window. The title of the Editor should change to show the location of the file HelloWorld.py

Write and run your first program In the Editor type # My first Python program print("Hello World!") left justified and on the first line. Notice the colour coding: red for the comment, purple for the function print() and green for the data "Hello World!". Note: If you are using any of the ITS PCs, remember to save all your files on your own disk space, not on the C: drive.

Write and run your first program (2) In the Editor click on Run, then on the drop down menu click on Run Module. A window will appear with the message Source Must Be Saved. Click on OK. Two things happen: Your program is saved in the file HelloWorld.py Then it is run to produce the text "Hello World!" in the Shell window. The text in the Shell is blue to show that it is output. The screenshot below is an example and its content may differ slightly to that in your Shell window.

Exercises on Syntax Errors In the Editor type Print(Hello World!) on a new line and left justified. As before, click on Run Module. A window will appear. Click on OK. In the Editor , replace the line Print(Hello, World!) with the line print("Hello World!) and click on Run Module. A window will appear. Use a web search engine to find out if others have obtained the same error message. Click on OK. Remove the erroneous statements from the Editor or correct them. Click on the button Compile.

Exercises on Print statements What do the following statements print when they are executed together? print("Hello") print("World!") What do the following statements print when they are executed together. Note the indentation.  What does the following statement print? print("My lucky numbers are", 3*4+5, 5*6-1) What is the error in the following statement? print(1/0)

Exercise on evaluation of arithmetical expressions A bank account contains $10,000 and earns interest at the rate of 5 percent per year. The interest is added to the account. (See PFE Section 1.7). After one year the bank account contains the original sum of $10,000 plus the interest, which is 5% of $10,000, namely 10,000 *(5/100). So, the final account balance is 10000+10000*(5/100) = 10000*(1+(5/100)) = 10000*1.05 (i) Print out the value of 10000*1.05 using the code: print("balance after one year: ", 10000*1.05) (ii) Find the balance of the account after two years using the code: print("balance after two years: ", 10000*1.05*1.05) (iii) Manually work out the number of years it takes for the account balance to be at least double the original balance. Then write code similar to (ii) above to find the account balance after this number of years.
