Last Time (§§ 4,5)

There are three sequence types.

• lists: a mutable heterogeneous sequence type
• tuples: an immutable heterogeneous sequence type
• strings: an immutable sequence of characters

We also learned about the Python documentation and the builtin functions and types pages.

§§ 11-13 discuss pooling, aliasing and the "pointing relationship" that has been a theme in class. Reading these will clarify a lot for you.

Truthy, Falsy and None

An object is truthy if when it is cast to a boolean, the result is True.

An object is falsy if when it is cast to a boolean, the result is True.

None is Python's graveyard type. None is falsy.

Comments

print and its Many Powers (§ 8)

# what does this do?
# this is the comment token
# python ignores everything from it to the end of the line.
print("Hello")
print(1,2,3, True, "cows", [1,2,3])
print(1,2,3, True, "cows", [1,2,3], sep = " * ")
print(1,2,3, True, "cows", [1,2,3], sep = "|")
print(1,2,3, True, "cows", [1,2,3], end = "FOO")
print("a", end="")
print("b", end="")
print("a", end="")
print("c", end="")
print("d", end="")

The Symbol Table and Expressions (§ 9)

When you create a variable you write on the symbol table.

*
**
***
****
*****
******    

#thinnk of two ways or more that you can make 
#the little triangle of stars

#Riley

for i in range(7):

    print("*" * i)

# Chris A
print('\n'.join(['*'*i for i in range(1, 7)]))

#Al Pagar
star = "*"
for i in range(6):
    print(star)
    star = star + "*"

#Ari E
print('*','**','***','****','*****','******', sep ='\n')

print("*")
print("**")
print("***")
print("****")
print("*****")
print("******")

print('''*

print("*\n**\n***\n****\n*****\n******")

for i in range(1,7): print(' '*(7-i), ' ', ('* '*i))
    
for i in range(1, 3): print(' '*7, '* *')

for i in range(1, 9):
    if i > 6:
        print(f'{"* *":^30}')
    else:
