Lesson 1: First steps

Introduction to Python programming

Rebecca Franks

Materials from the Teach Computing Curriculum created by the National Centre for Computing Education
Step 1: Extend the program

Extend the existing program from the 1 user = "Claude"


previous task by typing in two similar 2 print("Hello", user)
3 lucky = 13
additional statements. Note that line 4
4 print( )
is incomplete.

2
Step 2: Complete line 4

Complete line 4, so that the output of 1 user = "Claude"


the program is: 2 print("Hello", user)
3 lucky = 13
Hello Claude 4 print( )

My lucky number is 13

Make sure that your program displays


the value of the lucky variable, not just
the number 13.

3
Step 3: Run your program

Did it work? 1 user = "Claude"


2 print("Hello", user)
Did you get any error messages? 3 lucky = 13
4 print( )
If you did, how did you fix them?

Step 1: Change the program

A. Change your program so that it now 1 print("What’s your name?")


looks like this example. 2 user = input()
3 print("Hello", user)

B. Before running your new program,


make a prediction about what might
happen at line 2 and what the output
might be.

6
Step 2: Run your program

Once you manage to run the program, 1 print("What’s your name?")


you should see this prompt: 2 user = input()
3 print("Hello", user)
What’s your name?

The program is still running: it is


executing the input function, which is
waiting for the user to type something
on the keyboard.

Type your name and press Enter. What


is the output of the program?

7
Step 3: Run your program again

Run your program again. 1 print("What’s your name?")


2 user = input()
Type a different name and press Enter.
3 print("Hello", user)
What is the output of the program?
