Python IDLE

• Python’s Integrated Development and Learning Environment.

• Interactive mode in the shell window


– interactive interpreter
– >>> (type the code, and press enter)
– result is displayed.

• Script mode in the editor window


– write code (a script) and save as a module
– name for a module has extension .py
– run module
– result is displayed in the shell window

• Debugger

• Number output
– print (9.5)
– displays: 9.5
• Mathematical expressions
– print (3+4)
– displays: 7

Mathematical Expressions

• Numeric expressions
• Python evaluates an expression.
• Examples of mathematical expressions
– 3+4
– 3*4

Mathematical Operators
Operation Symbol in Python Example

Power (exponentiation) ** 5**2 == 25

Multiplication * 2*3 == 6

Division / 14 / 3 ==
4.666666666666

Integer Division // 14 // 3 == 4
(floor division)
Remainder (modulus) % 14 % 3 == 2

Addition + 1 + 2 == 3
Subtraction - 4 - 3 == 1

Mathematical Expressions

• How to evaluate mathematical expressions?


– Precedence rules – what to evaluate first?
1. Parentheses ()
2. Exponentiation: **
3. Multiplication, division, floor division, and remainder: * / // %
4. Addition and subtraction: + −
5. left to right

Strings and String Operations

• What is a string?
– the way to represent plain text.
– "Hello World" enclosed in double quotation marks
– 'Hello World' enclosed in single quotation marks

• String concatenation
– "Hello " + "World"
– print("Hello " + "World"), displays: Hello World

• String multiplication
– 3 * "Hello "
– print(3*"Hello "), displays: Hello Hello Hello

Escape Sequences

• Combination of characters with a special effect for printing.


• \n creates a new line.
• \t creates a tabulator space
• \\ prints one \
• Example
