Out[4]: 8.0
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Odds and ends}
\begin{itemize}
\item Case sensitive
\item Dynamically typed $\Rightarrow$ need not specify a type
\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}
\end{itemize}
\inctime{15}
\end{frame}
\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.\\
