This
course starts from the beginning, covering the basics of how a computer
interprets lines of code; how to write programs, evaluate their output,
and revise the code itself; how to work with variables and their
changing values; and how to use mathematical, boolean, and relational
operators.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to write small programs in
Python that use variables, mathematical operators, and logical
operators. For example, you could write programs that carry out complex
mathematical operations, like calculating the interest rate necessary to
reach a savings goal, recommending apparel options based on weather
patterns, or calculating a grade based on multiple percentages.
Structurally, the course is comprised of several parts. Instruction
is delivered via a series of short (2-3 minute) videos. In between those
videos, you'll complete both multiple choice questions and coding
problems to demonstrate your knowledge of the material that was just
covered.
