Lesson 2
The Basic Elements
Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction to Lesson 2
In this next three lessons, you will explore in more detail the “basic building blocks” introduced in Lesson 1, and how you can implement them in Python.
In this lesson, you will focus on the ‘atoms’ that make up the first basic building block. You will look at the basic elements inside a simple statement in more detail.
After this lesson, you will hopefully be able to have a more concrete and detailed understanding of these basic elements. Some of these are specific to how Python implements the concepts. It is important that you really understand how these work in Python, to avoid any confusion in future lesson.
We can then focus on putting these components together into our building blocks, and actually apply them to try to develop algorithms and solve problems in future lessons.
But first, you will need to install and get Python up and running on your computer!
