HOW TO PRINT IN PYTHON ?

EXAMPLE : print("Hello Replit")

The "" (quotes) are used to tell the command that you're putting text in there (any text you want)

A bunch of text (or whatever you put in quotes) is called a string

Multiple Print Statements

Use the triple quote """ if you want to write a big chunk of text with gaps or line breaks. Add this code to what you have in main.py and hit run.

EXAMPLE :

print("""Anything that starts

with three quotes, and ends

in three quotes can span

many lines and even contain " symbols

within it without freaking anything out!""")

FOR LOOP , RANGE

FOR LOOP A while loop is perfect to use when we don't know how many times we want the loop to repeat. If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a for loop to loop code in exactly the same way the while loop did. EXAMPLE : for counter in range(10): print(counter) RANGE The range function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at 0 and move to a state where the final number is one less than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be 9 . EXAMPLE : total = 0 for number in range(100) : total += number print(total)

ALL ABOUT WHILE LOOP

WHILE LOOP A while loop allows your code to repeat itself based on a condition you set. EXAMPLE : counter = 0 while counter < 10: print(counter) counter +=1 Infinite Loop You have to be really careful that you don't accidentally invoke an infinite loop! This is where the computer will loop code until the end of time. Without a break. Forever. This is just saying "count to 10 by 1 each time." to make the loop end. Don't forget, if your condition is a > then you might need to -= . This will subtract from the variable instead of adding to it. EXAMPLE : counter = 0 while counter < 10: print(counter) counter += 1

IF AND ELSE STATEMENT

If Statements These statements are a bit like asking a question. You are telling the computer: if something is true, then do this specific block of code. Double equals ( == ) is asking the computer to compare if these two things are exactly the same. EXAMPLE : myName = input("What's your name?: ") if myName == "David": What is else? IF the condition is not met with the if statement, then we want the computer to do the else part instead. Likewise, if the condition is met in the if statement, then the else bit is ignored by the computer. The else statement must be the first thing unindented after the if statement and in line with it EXAMPLE : myName = input("What's your name?: ") if myName == "David": print("Welcome Dude!") print("You're just the baldest dude I've ever seen...
