Python for Marion Coders : Lesson Set 1

You now have Python installed on your computer (if not, let me know).

We will be using a Python development environment called "Idle".

"Idle" allows you to work with Python statements and also allows you to create and save Python programs.

The videos below show how to work with the "Idle" environment: (click on "Lesson..." to see video )

1. Lesson 1 Video:  How to launch and use “Idle” to do Python programming. 
2. Lesson 2  Video: Working with “numeric” variables.
3. Lesson 3 Video: Working with “string” variables
4. Lesson 4 Video: Working with both “numeric” and “string” variables
5. Lesson 5 Video: How to create, save and run a stored Python program

Please view and study each video and then use Idle on your computer to do similar things. The more you explore, the more you will learn.

If you find that Idle starts to get confusing. Close Idle and restart it.

Once you have completed lesson #5, write a Python program that will find the sum of the digits from 1 to 7 and display that value.

Please post your program for review as a Stackeroo message.
