* Outline
+ invoke the ~ipython~ interpreter
+ quit the ~ipython~ interpreter
+ navigate in the history of ~ipython~
+ use tab-completion
+ look-up documentation of functions
+ interrupt incomplete or incorrect commands
* Question 1
Type =ab= and hit tab to see what happens. Next, just type =a= and
hit tab to see what happens.
* Solution 1
=ab= tab completes to =abs= and =a<tab>= gives us a list of all the
commands starting with a.
* Question 2
Look-up the documentation of =round= and see how to use it.
* Solution 2
=round?=
* Question 3
Check the output of
#+begin_src python
round(2.48)
round(2.48, 1)
round(2.48, 2)
round(2.484)
round(2.484, 1)
round(2.484, 2)
#+end_src
Look-up the documentation of =round= and see how to use it.
* Solution 3
We get 2.0, 2.5 and 2.48, which are what we expect.
* Question 4
Try typing =round(2.484=, and hit enter. and then cancel the command
using Ctrl-C. Then, type the command, =round(2.484, 2)= and resume
the video.
* Solution 4
#+begin_src python
round(2.484
^C
round(2.484, 2)
#+end_src
* Summary
+ invoking and quitting the ~ipython~ interpreter
+ navigating the history
+ using tab-completion to work faster
+ looking-up documentation using ~?~
+ sending keyboard interrupts using ~Ctrl-C~
* Thank you!
