What is Python?

Python is an open source object-oriented interpreted programming language.

What does it mean?

• Python is an interpreted programming language: the interpreter runs the code on real time and translate to machine code and returns the output. (it is not compiled like C or C++)
• Python is object-oriented programming language: the language is oriented to create objects that contain data and functions (methods).
• Python is open source: Python is freely usable and distributable, even for commercial use.

Files:

• 01_comment_print_variables.py - Basic explanation of variables and how to use print() and comments.
• 02_loop.py - For, while functions explained and also if statements.
• 03_function.py - How to create functions.
• 04_class.py - How to create classes.
• 05_numpy.py - Basic use of ndarrays, could be improved but the basic is already there.
• 06_pandas.py - Basic pandas commands, in the future there will be added more complex commands
• 07_os.py - for basic management folder structure and OS
• 08_serial.py - For basic communication serial, for example with an Arduino
• 09_PyQt5.py - Basic Window on pyqt5
• 10_arcade.py - WIP
• 11_sklearn.py WIP

Objectives:

• Remember things in python.
• Use the files to re - learn.
