Let's get you all up and running with some Python goodness on your awesome Mac!

Ah, I see we have a legend in the class. Let's get you up and running with some Python goodness too! Make sure to save some for Tux the Penguin...

In this lecture, we meet IDLE. IDLE is the tool that we will be using in the course to create python files so let's spend sometime getting used to our new best friend!

In this lecture, we are going to be going over a secret kept by the worlds top programmers that will save you hours of time and headache and will also make your course experience on Udemy so much better!

A Quick Note

Learn What Variables are and Why They are Totally Epic

In this lecture you will get a quick overview of what you are going to learn in the coming section.

Learn the basics of Variables and why they are useful in our programs

Now that we have learned how to use variables, in this lecture we are going to use them in the script we made in the lecture called "Meeting IDLE". This way, we will build on our previous knowledge and see why variables are so awesome in practice!

This is a quick quiz to check that you have understood what variables are and why we use them!

Creating Variables

In this section we have learned about variables. Variables are so incredibly important to all of programming, so let's have a quick recap on what we've learned.

Make Computers Do Maths For You!

In this lecture you will learn how to do basic arithmetic in Python, learn about the float datatype, and also learn about a special operator called the modulo

In this lecture you will learn how to gain better control over python calculations to make sure you get the answer you are expecting

In this lecture, we will be kicking off our first project which is to create a health potion for a video game. In this lecture you will learn about using numbers to represent real life concepts, and get hands on with the Python "random" module.

In this lecture we will be finishing off our health potion project. You will learn how you can use numbers to implement a difficulty system and how to override variables.

Once you are done you will feel a massive sense of achievement and I encourage you to share the final product with your friends! I bet they'll be really impressed with your new abilities!

In this optional lecture, I go over some of the more advanced functionality that is offered in the python math library.

We've covered so much in this section on numbers, so lets just have a quick review to make sure we have everything locked down!

In this quiz, I am going to be testing your understanding of numbers in Python
