Python
Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.
Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991.
Inspired by a funny drama serial Monty Python
Python Philosophy
Coherence
not hard to read, write and maintain
power
Scope
rapid development + large systems
Objects
Integration
hybrid systems
The order matters!
Scope of this course: Intended for people with no experience with

programming.
Using Python
• IDE (Integrated Development Environment) A set of tools used to help us
develop code.
• For now we can think of it as the program that runs our python code for
us.
• A free version is linked from the website. Let's see what it looks like.
The shell will interpret lines of python that we feed it.

Basic mathematical operations are part of python. So we can use python
as a calculator.
Python isn't very good at calculating
• You have multiplication, addition, subtraction, division and

powers (*,+,-,/,**) but sometimes the answers are weird.
• If you give python integers, it will assume that you want
integers back.
• For fractions, one uses floating point numbers. Python
interprets any number with a decimal in it as a float.
• Floats are only approximations of real numbers.
Python comes with a lot of stuff
• Beyond basic arithmetic there are lots of prebuilt functions in
Python.
• Some math ones like max and abs.
• But also other useful ones like dir and help
▫ Dir returns a list of functions that are available.
▫ Help returns information about a function or module
Variables
• A variable is a name that refers to a value.
• Variables let us store and reuse values in several places.
• But to do this we need to define the variable, and then tell it
to refer to a value.
• We do this using an assignment statement.
Assignment Statements
• Form: variable = expression
• An expression is a legal sentence in python that can be evaluated.
• What it does:
• Evaluate the expression on the RHS.(This value is a memory address)
• Store the memory address in the variable on the LHS.
• What this means is that a variable is a name and a memory address.
The name points to a memory address where the value is stored.
• This means that variables in python behave fundamentally differently
than variables in math.
Simple Case Studies- Riddles
(Just to click the mind)
Problem
 If all the below statement are true

1. Gianni was either in Italy or France in 1997.
2. If Gianni did not kill Versace, then Hilton must have killed him.
3. If Versace died of suffocation, then either Gianni killed him or
Versace committed suicide.
4. If Gianni was in Italy in 1997, then Gianni did not kill Versace.
5. Versace died of suffocation, but he did not kill himself.
Who killed Versace and where was Gianni in 1997 ?
Answer
• Gianni was in France in 1997 & he killed Versace.
Versace died of suffocation=>This information should lead

you to statement #3 next. From here you should gather that
Gianni killed Versace. Thus leading to statement #4, Gianni
was in France in 1997.
Age Problem
• Two old friends, Jack and Bill, meet after a long time.
Three kids
Jack: Hey, how are you, man?
Bill: Not bad, got married and I have three kids now.
Jack: That's awesome. How old are they?
Bill: The product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages
is the same as your birth date.
Jack: Cool..But I still don't know.
Bill: My eldest kid just started taking piano lessons.
Jack: Oh, now I get it but still in doubt.
How old are Bill's kids?

ANSWER
• 3,3,8
Lets break it down. The product of their ages is 72. So what
are the possible choices?
2, 2, 18 sum(2, 2, 18) = 22
2, 4, 9 sum(2, 4, 9) = 15
2, 6, 6 sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
2, 3, 12 sum(2, 3, 12) = 17
3, 4, 6 sum(3, 4, 6) = 13
3, 3, 8 sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14
1, 8, 9 sum(1,8,9) = 18
1, 3, 24 sum(1, 3, 24) = 28
1, 4, 18 sum(1, 4, 18) = 23
1, 2, 36 sum(1, 2, 36) = 39
1, 6, 12 sum(1, 6, 12) = 19
• The sum of their ages is the same as your birth date. That could
be anything from 1 to 31 but the fact that Jack was unable to find
out the ages, it means there are two or more combinations with
the same sum. From the choices above, only two of them are
possible now.
2, 6, 6 sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
3, 3, 8 sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14
Since the eldest kid is taking piano lessons, we can eliminate

combination 1 since there are two eldest ones. The answer is 3, 3
and 8.
Cipher Puzzle
• What does this message say?
GTYORJ OTE OUIABGT
Hint:
Count the letters and try splitting the letters up into
homogeneous groups.
• 'Great Job You Got It'
This type of code is known as a Caesar Box (Julius Caesar
was the first to write codes this way.) To decipher the
message, simply divide the code into four groups of four (you
can also divide them into groups such as 5 groups of 5 or 6
groups of 6 depending on the number of letters in the phrase),
and rearrange them vertically like this...
GTYO
RJOT
EOUI
ABGT
Then you read vertically column by column.
Math's Puzzle
• Using eight eights and addition only, can you make

1000?
Answer
• 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000
Problem on Excel # 1
• Students before entering the gymnasium pass Math, English and Russian.
Passing Score is 12. You should get at least 4 points in Mathematics for
admission. Create report on the receipt. It is necessary to compare the total
number of points with a passing grade. And check that math score was not
lower than "4". In the «result» column put "accepted" or "not accepted"
• It is necessary to overestimate the trade balances. If the product is kept in

stock for more than 8 months we should reduce its price 2 times.
• If the product is stored for more than 8 months, the price is reduced 2
times. If it’s more than 5 months, but less than 8, it’s 1.5 times.
• If the value of the goods in the warehouse after the write-down was less
than 300 or the product is stored for longer than 10 months, it is written
off.
• Analyze the cost of cash balances after the devaluation. If the price of the
product after reassessment is below average values, we should write off
the product from the warehouse.
• Many retailers and most wholesalers provide customers a price break
based on quantity. For example, a wholesaler may sell 1 to 10 T-shirts for
$10.50 each, and 11 to 25 T-shirts for $8.75 each. Use the following IF
statement formula to determine how much money you can save by
purchasing wholesale products for your company in bulk.
Determine the total invoice amount keeping in view the discounts. Also find
out the average cost of shopping carried out. Moreover, identify the
minimum and maximum cost of the items purchased. If possible, relate it to
the items.
