This lesson will provide an overview of keywords as fundamental building blocks on any python program as well as built-in functions and methods to identify these items within a program using Spyder

This lesson will provide an overview of the definition and use cases of comments within a program including the various ways comments can be implemented in the code in a way that is ignored by the program and when comments can be useful to add into a program

Welcome to your second quiz, where you will review the topics on terminology explored thus far through hands-on exercises in the offered programming box.

This lesson will provide an overview of numerical values in Python which include integers, floating values, complex numbers, as well as operators which can add, subtract, etc. as well as the way they operate within a program and their use cases

This lesson will provide an overview of strings in Python including methods of identifying strings, functions used to modify strings, User Input Statements, and escape characters with examples to help improve student understanding

This lesson will provide an overview of booleans in Python including a thorough description of true or false statements and their contingencies as well as how booleans apply to a program and its individual strings with various examples

This lesson will provide an overview of Conditions in Python including common methods for strategizing if...else statements, types of if...else statements, as well as a breakdown for how these statements function in a program with examples

This lesson will provide an overview of while-else loops in Python including common methods for strategizing while-else loops, requirements for while-else loops to work within a program, and how while-else loops relate to if...else conditional statements with examples

Module 3 Number Guessing Game • Modules in Python

In this demonstration, we put what we've learned in this module to the test in a Number-Guessing Game that utilizes numerical values, strings booleans, conditional statements, while-else loops and modules to create a cohesive, playable game.
