Python is a versatile language used in various fields like web development, data analysis, and machine learning.

– Python is popular for shell scripting, task automation, and web development while also being preferred for data analysis and machine learning.

– It can also be used for creating games, working with embedded devices, and offers a wide range of applications.

Setting up Python environment in Replit

– Replit allows creating and selecting various programming languages, but we focus on Python for this tutorial.

– Features of Replit include code editor, output display, file management, version control, debugger, and console for Python programming.

Creating and indenting a function in Python

– The function is defined using 'def' keyword and indented code within the function.

– Squiggly lines may indicate variables assigned but not used, which is not a program-stopping error.

Using blank lines and consistent indentation in Python code.

– Adding blank lines between code sections for better organization.

– Explaining the significance of indentation in Python code.

Dictionaries in Python are used to store data values in key-value pairs.

– A dictionary in Python is represented by curly braces and contains key-value pairs separated by commas.

– The key or value in a dictionary can be a variable, and it can be accessed using the variable name.

Using the input function to get user's choice

– Explaining how to use the input function to get player's choice as rock, paper, or scissors

– Cleaning up the unnecessary code in the program

Implementing random choice in Python for computer selection

– Define a list of possible options: rock, paper, scissors

– Generate a random choice from the options list for the computer's selection

Creating and using arguments in Python functions.

– Functions can receive data called arguments.

– Arguments specified inside parentheses when creating a function.

Explaining the return statement in Python functions

– Return statement only returns if condition is true, otherwise returns nothing.

– Can concatenate strings to display player and computer choices in a program.

F string is a simpler way to combine strings and variables

– F strings allow making strings with variables and other Python code by putting an 'f' at the beginning of a string.

– Using curly braces within the F string allows inserting variables or any kind of Python code within the string.

Understanding elif statements in Python

– elif statements allow checking multiple conditions in Python

– Each elif statement is evaluated only if the previous conditions are false

Refactoring is the process of restructuring code while maintaining functionality.

– Refactoring is common to simplify or make code more understandable.

– Using a nested if statement can improve code readability and organization.

Summarizes the game rules and function completion.

– Explains the game rules with examples of paper, rock, scissors.

– Describes the function completion for checking wins and getting choices.

Accessing specific elements within a dictionary

– Using brackets to specify the key to get the value of a player's choice from the dictionary

– Similarly, accessing the computer's choice by changing the key to 'computer'

Created a Python game to understand programming basics

– Explained basic concepts of Python

– Upcoming sections will cover common and additional Python features, as well as a more complex game – blackjack

Introduction to Python basics and running Python code in different environments

– Python can be run in an interactive prompt for quick coding

– Alternatively, Python can also be run in Visual Studio Code with the necessary Python extension installed

Variables in Python

– Variables are created by assigning a value to a label using the equal sign

– Variable names can include characters, numbers, and underscores but cannot start with a number or be a Python keyword

Python keywords have specific meanings and cannot be used as variable names.

– Examples of keywords in Python include 'for', 'if', 'while', and 'import'.

– The Python editor alerts you if you use a keyword as a variable and turns the keyword blue to indicate its status.

Python has different data types like string, int, float

– Strings are denoted by quotation marks and can be checked with 'type' and 'equals' operators.

– Integers are represented using 'int' class and floating point numbers using 'float' class.

Python automatically detects variable type from value

– Python can also create a variable of a specific type using the class constructor

– Conversion from one data type to another is possible using the class constructor

Arithmetic operators in Python and their functionalities

– Arithmetic operators include plus, minus, multiplication, division, remainder, exponents.

– Operators can also be used for floor division, making a number negative, concatenating strings, and combined with the assignment operator.

Explanation of Arithmetic and Comparison Operators

– Arithmetic operators perform basic mathematical operations on variables like addition and multiplication

– Comparison operators compare variables to check for equality, inequality, greater than, less than, etc.

Explanation of bitwise, is, in, and ternary operators

– Bitwise operators are rarely used and are important to know for specific situations.

– The 'is' operator compares two objects and returns true if they are the same. It will be discussed further in the section on objects.

– The 'in' operator is used to check if a value is in a list or another sequence. More on this will be discussed in the section on lists and sequences.

– Ternary operator allows quick definition of conditional statements in Python.

Strings in Python are series of characters enclosed in either double or single quotes

– You can assign a string to a variable

– Strings can be concatenated using the plus operator or the plus equal operator to append

Common string operations in Python

– Operations include checking for characters or digits, changing case, checking start/end substrings, replacing parts, splitting, stripping whitespace, appending letters, finding positions of substrings.

– These operations return a new modified string without altering the original string. Global functions like len() and in operator can also be used.

Using in operator to check for substrings and escaping special characters in strings

– Use 'in' operator to check if a substring is present in a string

– Escape special characters in strings by using backslash before the character

Python allows counting from the end using negative indexing and slicing.

– Negative indexing starts from -1, and slicing can be used to extract specific parts of a string.

– Boolean in Python has two values – true or false, with a capital T or F.

Followed exactly as told, and by the time my RPS game was complete and I tested it, I ran it 17 times without a loss, which is slightly more than a tenth of a percent chance of happening. Thought I messed up, but was actually just incredibly lucky lol

nice copy paste tutorial broski

map – filter – reduce

mine printed rock, does that matter?

I did some C up to structures and some embedded C , did some C++…. let me try some Python ….

1:25:36 I entered the code exactly as Beau had it and didn't get anything when I tried running it. Why would that be?

book_1_read = True
book_2_read = False

read_any_book = any([book_1_read, book_2_read])

why replit looks different from the one you have ?

This was awesome!

Hello, thanks for this. I'm 37 years old and have an mathematics bachlor first degree. teaches mathematics for 12 years. Anyway I recently got anather bachlor degreee land adminstration and landed on computer scinces .

2:18:37 Quick question, about Scopes…
Can you use a variable declared inside a block, in another block with the same indentation?

how does the implementation of AI change the need from complete coding to programming?

29:59

i can't believe i just finished 43 minutes on the rock and paper… !!!

1.12.46

Thankyou universe…..

Its taking me years to learn python because i give up and cant remmeber anything 😢😢 i know i should give up but then thats another failiure added to my long list. Any idea what i can do to help rememver stuff so im not restarting again and again

Not bad. Did not like that you type 2 lanes of code in one second and modify or remove code in a split second. Ppl cant keep up while typing their own code. The second part is not cool to write a code and then remove it because its useless or we don't need that anymore because whatever reason. You mix ppl understanding of process by doing something useless, or practising unrelated thing in a middle of game code. If u up to teach something, give ppl a reason to do it. I know its for practice, bud you can make a practice lesson different from "lets write a game".

First time i'm learning Python. Also i don't know ABCD of Python. Is this ok to start how to learn Python for me. As i am jobless

like the java course with visualisation in data structures and algorithm a complete tutorial make one video for python

can anyone tell me if there are other free courses on youtube for python
