 Note: To solve a system of ODEs, we need to change the function to return the right hand side of all the equations and the system and the pass the required number of initial conditions to the \typ{odeint} function.

 \section{Data types}
-Complex Numbers
+\subsection{int and float}
+A whole number is a \typ{int} variable.
 \begin{lstlisting}
-In []: c = 3+4j
-In []: abs(c)
+In []: a = 13
+In []: type(a)
+Out[]: <type 'int'>
+In []: b = -2
+In []: type(b)
+Out[]: <type 'int'>
+In []: c = 500000000
+In []: type(c)
+Out[]: <type 'int'>
+\end{lstlisting}
+A number with decimal is a \typ{float}.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: p = 3.141592
+In []: type(p)
+Out[]: <type 'float'>
+\end{lstlisting}
+\subsection{Complex Numbers}
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: c = 3+4j  #coeff of j specifies imaginary part
+In []: abs(c) #absolute value of complex number
 Out[]: 5.0
-In []: c.imag
+In []: c.imag #accessing imaginary part of c
 Out[]: 4.0
-In []: c.real
+In []: c.real #accessing real part of c
 Out[]: 3.0
 \end{lstlisting}
-Boolean
+\newpage
+\subsection{Boolean}
 \begin{lstlisting}     
 In []: a = False
 In []: b = True
 In []: c = True
-In []: (a and b) or c
+In []: (a and b) or c #Boolean operations
 Out[]: True
 \end{lstlisting}
-Strings
+\textbf{Note:} Python is case sensitive language, \typ{True} is \typ{bool} type, but \typ{true} would be a variable. and hence following assignment fails:\\
+\typ{In []: a = true}\\
+\subsection{Strings}
   \begin{lstlisting}
-In []: w = "hello"
-In []: print w[0] + w[2] + w[-1]
-Out[]: hlo
-In []: len(w)
+In []: w = "hello" #w is string variable
+In []: print w[1]
+Out[]: e
+In []: print w[-1] #last character of string
+Out[]: o
+  \end{lstlisting}
+\textbf{Note:} For a string variable, individual elements can be accessed using indices.
+  \begin{lstlisting}
+In []: len(w) #function to calculate length of string
 Out[]: 5
 In []: w[0] = 'H' # ERROR: Strings are immutable 
   \end{lstlisting}
-String methods
+\subsection{String methods}
   \begin{lstlisting}
 In []: a = 'Hello World' 
 In []: a.startswith('Hell') # 'a' starts with 'Hell'
+Out[]: True
 In []: a.endswith('ld') # 'a' ends with 'ld'
+Out[]: True
 In []: a.upper() # all characters to upper case
+Out[]: 'HELLO WORLD'
 In []: a.lower() # all characters to lower case
+Out[]: 'hello world'
 In []: ''.join(['a', 'b', 'c'])
 Out[]: 'abc'
   \end{lstlisting}
-String formatting
+\typ{join} function joins all the list member passed as argument with the string it is called upon. In above case it is \typ{empty string}.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: ' '.join(['a','b','c'])
+Out[]: 'a b c'  
+In []: ','.join(['a','b','c'])
+Out[]: 'a,b,c'
+\end{lstlisting}
+\subsection{String formatting}
   \begin{lstlisting}
-In []: x, y = 1, 1.234
+In []: x, y = 1, 1.234 #initializing two variables
 In []: 'x is %s, y is %s' %(x, y)
 Out[]: 'x is 1, y is 1.234'
   \end{lstlisting}
-Arithmetic Operators
+\textbf{Note:} \typ{\%s} used in above fomatting specifies \typ{'str'} representation of variables. One can also try:\\
+\typ{\%d} for \typ{int} representation\\
+\typ{\%f} for \typ{float} representation
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: 'x is %f, y is %f' %(x, y)
+Out[]: 'x is 1.000000, y is 1.234000'
+
+In []: 'x is %d, y is %d' %(x, y)
+Out[]: 'x is 1, y is 1'
+\end{lstlisting}
+\subsection{Arithmetic Operators}
   \begin{lstlisting}
 In []: 45 % 2 # Modulo operator
 Out[]: 1
-In []: 1234567891234567890 ** 3 # Power
+In []: 5 ** 3 # Power
+Out[]: 125
 In []: a = 5
-In []: a += 1
+In []: a += 1 #increment by 1, translates to a = a + 1
 In []: a *= 2
   \end{lstlisting}
-String Operations
+\subsection{String Operations}
 \begin{lstlisting}
 In []: s = 'Hello'
 In []: p = 'World'
-In []: s + p 
+In []: s + p  #concatenating two strings
 Out[]: 'HelloWorld'
-In []: s * 4
+In []: s * 4  #repeating string for given num of times
 Out[]: 'HelloHelloHelloHello'
 \end{lstlisting}

 \end{lstlisting}
-Console Input
+\subsection{Console Input}
 \begin{lstlisting}
 In []: a = raw_input('Enter a value: ')
 Enter a value: 5
 \end{lstlisting}
+\textbf{Note:} \typ{raw_input} always returns string representation of user input and hence:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+In []: type(a)
+Out[]: <type 'str'>
+\end{lstlisting}
+To get integer or floating point of this input, one has to perform type conversion:\\
+\typ{In []: b = int(a)}
