Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to store information in variables so that a computer could remember it later. We learned how to use variables to make a function that could add two preprogrammed numbers together. Then, things got interesting when we learned how to make the computer ask questions and remember the user's answers! Using raw_input()
, we learned how to store answers as variables to use later in the name()
function that we built together. We started saving our work in .py
files so that we could run and rerun our files in our terminal/command prompt without having to retype the files all the time.
In the next chapter, you will build a four-function calculator to run in the command line using all of the skills you learned in this chapter!
