1. Python Basics with Jupyter Notebook
Workshop 1

2. Download Anaconda
Visit anaconda.com/download and download the relevant distribution for your operating system.
Download Anaconda with Python 3.7

3. Open Jupyter Notebook

4. Print Statements
The print function in Python allows you to output data to the user.
You can print items of different datatypes including string, int and lists.
Try outputting some text on your notebook.

5. Storing data in variables
You can store data in variables using the ‘=’ operator.
Try figuring out how the code below works

6. Taking inputs
Use the input function to prompt user to enter some data.
Data stored in a given variable.

7. Changing the datatype
Sometimes in Python you have to change the datatype of a variable.
An example of this is when user input is taken, it is stored as a string.
If the input an integer, you must convert the string to an integer if you want to apply any operations to the data.
Converts input to an integer

8. If, else and elif statements
In Python you can run code based on decisions using if statements.

9. Lists
Lists allow you to store multiple data items under one variable.

10. Accessing list items
You can access items in a list by using variableName[index]
Python indexes start with 0 so the first item is variableName[0]

11. For Loops
For Loops allow you to repeat a portion of the program a number of time.
A variable assigned loops through items in a list.

12. Range
range(a,b) creates a list of numbers starting with a and ending in b-1.
The first parameter is inclusive but not the second parameter.

13. Functions Python lets you create your own functions.
Each function takes parameters as input and ‘returns’ a result.
