Key take-aways on today

  1. Python is one of the most in demand languanges. Due to its versatility and easiness.
  2. To print a statement in python we use the function print()
  3. To run a python script in vscode we run python name of your script
  4. To invoke input from a user we use the function input("message")
  5. Syntax for creating a variable is variable-name = value
  6. Syntax to print type of value is: print(type(variable-name))

7.Type casting or what we call type conversion.

Image with variable and Typecasting

Challenges i faced.
During printing how to seperate strings with variable names as during running my code had an error

How i solved the challenge.
Used ai for debugging and learning that during printing to seperate strings from variables we use commas

Resources I used.

1.Chatgpt for learning and exercises.
2.Python series a course by Bonaventure Ogeto.
