Coding in python
Welcome to the amazing world of coding!
To start, when you are coding on AoPS, use the tag [pywindow][/pywindow]. Here are some of the most basic functions:
input:
input will send a pop-up to the top of your screen, and is usually used to ask a question. Here is a basic example of this term in action:
[code][pywindow]input("Hello!")[/pywindow][/code]
When using input, format it like this: input("<Text I want to input>")
print:
Print is a function that will send a message to the bottom of your screen. You format it exactly like input, like this:
[code][pywindow]print("Hi!")[/pywindow][/code]
if and else:
We all know what if and else mean, but the trick is to format them correctly. This basic code portrays them quite nicely:
[code][pywindow]q = input("Hi! Can you see this?") if ("yes") in q:
print("Nice! Hi!")
else:
print("What???")
[/pywindow][/code]
elif:
This code term literally means "else if". It is used when you need to have more than one option of some kind of other function.
[code][pywindow]q = input("Do you understand this?") q = q.upper()#Don't worry about this part for now if ("yes") in q:
print("Nice! Hi!")
elif ("no") in q:
print("I'm sorry. D:")
else:
print("What???")
[/pywindow][/code]
practice:
Try making a code with all of these functions!
