Continued my journey on this intro Udemy course. The videos I watched today mostly helped cement some contextual understanding of how Python works…
I learned:
A variable is created whenever you set “some text” = “anything else, like an int or str or float”. Also apparently in Python it’s a little bit more useful to think of variables as being bound to their value, and not the value being bound to the variable. I don’t know the specific contexts in which this will make things easier to understand, but it makes sense to me right now.
Also the operator // is different than / because it returns an integer rather than a float, which can be useful in functions in which you need an integer.
To ignore an escape character (\) if you want it to actually show in a string, put two of them!
That was it for today. No new questions arose as I was going over some pretty basic stuff that I mostly already knew.
Happy day to everyone 🙂
