Some more statistics:

• Out of 7.8 billion people in the world only 26.4 million people know
how to code!
IHSB PRC

• That is only 0.33% of the global population!

Some statistics:

• 1.5 billion websites in the world (1.5,000,000,000)

• 5.5 million mobile apps world wide with a collective download of

more than 178 billion (178,000,000,000)
• More than 2 billion active computers worldwide (2,000,000,000)

1. Coding develops structured and creative thinking!

2. Programming makes things easy for you
3. Learning to program teaches you persistence
IHSB PRC

In this world surrounded and ruled by technology, being able to speak

the language of computers will make you seem like a superhero.

Coding is the new superpower!

 Why learn Python?

There are 700 programming languages in the world!

You don’t need to learn all of them! You only need to learn 1 or 2 very

well.

We chose Python simply because its easy to learn, powerful and

understandable.

We can perform tasks related to machine learning and artificial

intelligence

Use the “print” command to print your name, id, section and favorite
color on different lines as shown below:

 Task - 2
21

The target of this exercise is to create a string, an integer, and a floating point number. The string
should be named mystring and should contain the word "hello". The floating point number should
be named myfloat and should contain the number 10.0, and the integer should be named myint
and should contain the number 20.

# change this code

mystring = None
myfloat = None
myint = None
# testing code
if mystring == "hello":
print("String: %s" % mystring)
if isinstance(myfloat, float) and myfloat == 10.0:
print("Float: %f" % myfloat)
if isinstance(myint, int) and myint == 20:
print("Integer: %d" % myint)
 Task - 3
22

In this exercise, you will need to add numbers and strings to the correct lists using the "append"
list method. You must add the numbers 1,2, and 3 to the "numbers" list, and the words 'hello'
and 'world' to the strings variable.
You will also have to fill in the variable second_name with the second name in the names list,
IHSB PRC

using the brackets operator []. Note that the index is zero-based, so if you want to access the
second item in the list, its index will be 1.
numbers = []
strings = []
names = ["John", "Eric", "Jessica"]
# write your code here
second_name = None
# this code should write out the filled arrays and the second name in the names list (Eric).
print(numbers)
print(strings)
print("The second name on the names list is %s" % second_name)
 Task - 4
23

The target of this exercise is to create two lists called x_list and y_list, which contain 10 instances of the variables x
and y, respectively. You are also required to create a list called big_list, which contains the variables x and y, 10
times each, by concatenating the two lists you have created.

x = object()
IHSB PRC

y = object()
# TODO: change this code
x_list = [x]
y_list = [y]
big_list = []
print("x_list contains %d objects" % len(x_list))
print("y_list contains %d objects" % len(y_list))
print("big_list contains %d objects" % len(big_list))
# testing code
if x_list.count(x) == 10 and y_list.count(y) == 10:
print("Almost there...")
if big_list.count(x) == 10 and big_list.count(y) == 10:
print("Great!")
