      \begin{lstlisting}
In [1]: a = 1
In [2]: a = 1.1
In [3]: a = "Now I am a string!"
      \end{lstlisting}
    \item Comments:
      \begin{lstlisting}
In [4]: a = 1  # In-line comments
In [5]: # A comment line.
In [6]: a = "# Not a comment!"
      \end{lstlisting}

\section{Simple IO}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Simple IO: Console Input}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item raw\_input() waits for user input.
      \begin{lstlisting}
In [1]: a = raw_input()
5

In [2]: a = raw_input('prompt > ')
prompt > 5
      \end{lstlisting}
    \item Prompt string is optional.
    \item All keystrokes are Strings!
    \item \texttt{int()} converts string to int.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Simple IO: Console output}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item \texttt{print} is straight forward
    \item Note the distinction between \texttt{print x} and \texttt{print x,}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\section{Control flow}
\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Control flow constructs}  
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \kwrd{if/elif/else}: branching
  \item \kwrd{while}: looping
  \item \kwrd{for}: iterating 
  \item \kwrd{break, continue}: modify loop 
  \item \kwrd{pass}: syntactic filler
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Basic Conditional flow}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{\typ{If...elif...else} example}
  \begin{lstlisting}
x = int(raw_input("Enter an integer:"))
if x < 0:
     print 'Be positive!'
elif x == 0:
     print 'Zero'
elif x == 1:
     print 'Single'
else:
     print 'More'
  \end{lstlisting}
  \inctime{10}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Basic Looping}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{\typ{while}}
Example: Fibonacci series
  \begin{lstlisting}
# the sum of two elements
# defines the next
a, b = 0, 1
while b < 10:
    print b,
    a, b = b, a + b 
\end{lstlisting}
\typ{1 1 2 3 5 8}\\  
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{\typ{range()}}
\kwrd{range([start,] stop[, step])}\\
\begin{itemize}
  \item range() returns a list of integers
  \item The \emph{start} and the \emph{step} arguments are optional
  \item \emph{stop} argument is not included in the list
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{\typ{for} \ldots \typ{range()}}
Example: print squares of first \typ{n} numbers
  \begin{lstlisting}
In []: for i in range(5):
 ....:     print i, i * i
 ....:
 ....:
0 0
1 1
2 4
3 9
4 16
\end{lstlisting}
\inctime{5}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Exercises}

\begin{frame}{Problem set 1: Problem 1.1}
  Write a program that displays all three digit numbers that are equal to the sum of the cubes of their digits. That is, print numbers $abc$ that have the property $abc = a^3 + b^3 + c^3$\\
\vspace*{0.2in}
\emphbar{These are called $Armstrong$ numbers.}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 1.2 - Collatz sequence}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Start with an arbitrary (positive) integer. 
  \item If the number is even, divide by 2; if the number is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1.
  \item Repeat the procedure with the new number.
  \item It appears that for all starting values there is a cycle of 4, 2, 1 at which the procedure loops.
\end{enumerate}
    Write a program that accepts the starting value and prints out the Collatz sequence.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Problem 1.3}
  Write a program that prints the following pyramid on the screen. 
  \begin{lstlisting}
1
2  2
3  3  3
4  4  4  4
  \end{lstlisting}
The number of lines must be obtained from the user as input.\\
\pause
\emphbar{When can your code fail?}
\inctime{5}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{What did we learn?}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item Basic data types
    \item Operators
    \item Conditional structures
    \item Loops
