Unit 1 Section 1 – Completion and examination 100% 

Introduction to Python 

Unit 1 Section 1.1 – Hello World 

print (“Hello World!”)


Print always lower case with text inside the quotations enclosed with open and close parentheses and output is ran Python 3¹:

1.       Menu or Tab Cell

o   Select run cell

2.       Ctrl + Enter (to run cell code)

3.       Shift + Enter (to run cell code and insert new cell code below previous cell


Unit 1 Section 1.2 - Comments 

# hashtag or pound symbol is use a denote comments

 For example:   # This is “Hello World” for Python 3 (in code cell) 

[ ] bracket symbol is use for student (us) to signify we have some task to complete. 

# [   ] -  Denote a comment means some task to be perform 

There are a few ways to run code cell in Python 3¹

And all new cell always defaults to “code” dropdown menu.

Unit 1 Section 1.4 -  Altering Jupyter’s Python Notebook Structure 

Change Programming Language in Azure Notebook 

We always want our Jupyter notebook in Python 3 state due from: 

·         Sometimes Jupyter’s Python, new notebook could be automatically save in a differ verse Python states:

1.       Kernel

2.       Python 2

3.       Python 3.6

4.       Etc. 

To change Jupyter’s Python programming language: 

                Goto the Kernel menu (tab)

                                Select = Change Kernel

                                                Then

                                                                Select = Python 3 

Another common issue with Jupyter’s Python notebook is: 

·         you might write some codes and Jupyter’s Python puts the notebook into an unstable state:

1.       either the browser will become frozen, or

2.       the code runs too long and will not finish. 

When this happen, reset the Kernel:

                Goto the Kernel menu or tab

                                Select =  Restart

                                OR

                                Select = Restart & Clear Output

                                                (will put all of the previously ran codes set to a starting point, so that, there are

                                                variables in memory).   

 

How to insert new cells? 

                To insert new cells: 

1.       press Shift + Enter on my keyboard

(if the curse is in the last cell, Python will add a new cell below the previous cell or if you are in the middle of a cell then press Shift + Enter, Python will run the cell and moves to the next cell.)

2.       Goto the Insert Menu or Tab

Select = Insert cell Above, or

Select = Insert Cell Below.
