    This document introduces Python by discussing that it is a general purpose, open source programming language used for many applications including data science. It describes how to use the IPython shell to execute Python commands and Python scripts to write and run code. Python variables can store different data types like integers, floats, strings, and booleans. The document demonstrates calculating BMI from height and weight variables and checking the variable types. It emphasizes that Python has different behaviors depending on the types of values used.

    height

    1.79

    INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON
    Calculate BMI
    height = 1.79 68.7 / 1.79 ** 2
    weight = 68.7

    height
    21.4413

    1.79 weight / height ** 2

    weight
    BMI = 21.4413
    height2

    bmi = weight / height ** 2


    bmi

    21.4413
