First Day : Python Online Training

Few days back I have enrolled to "Python" online training course by RICE University.

Every Week, They have two sets of video Lectures with
• Concepts and Examples
• Two Quizes ( each quiz for a set)
• 1 Mini Project

This Course duration is 8 Weeks (Oct -15 to Dec - 10)

Today was my first class.

Here are some Concepts which i learnt:

1. Comments: 

Comments are Non-computational parts of the program that describe the behavior of the program to you and others.

Comments begin with #, everything after the hash symbol is ignored by Python.

# Hello,This is my first program in Python.

2. Print:

To return the values,we use print.

Example 1: 

# Hello,This is my first program in Python.

Print "Hello World"

Execute: The Output shows:

Line 3: SyntaxError: bad input on line 3 (''Hello world'')

Due to Case-Sensitiveness, In the statement : 'P' in Print should be in Lower-Case.

Example 2: 

# Hello,This is my first program in Python.

print "Hello World"

Execute: The Output shows:

Hello world 

3. Strings :

Sequence of characters enclosed by a pair of single or double quotes is called as Strings.

Example 1: 

# Hello,This is my first program in Python.

print "Hello World"

Execute: The Output shows:  Hello world 

 In this, "Hello world" / 'Hello World' results to same output.

Strings are one of the data types: They are denoted by 'str'.
