Python 03 Setup


In this section you will find examples of how to code using Python 3

This guide will cover key concepts in programming using Python 3 for examples.

Throughout each of the lessons / sections there will be activities to complete.

Where there are code examples you should try them yourself

Just reading the examples will not help you much.

  • Input (1)

    Reading input is really important in programming. It means that we can interact with the computer program. There are a number of methods of doing this. Here we will focus on using the Python input function to read input and assign the data entered to a variable. The input function returns a value which is…
