Hello World

   #---------------------------------------------------
   # This demo program shows off how elegant Python is!    
   # Written by Joe Soap, December 2010.
   # Anyone may freely copy or modify this program.
   #---------------------------------------------------
   
   print("Hello, World!")     # Isn't this easy!


(this should work with Syntax Highlighting)

"Oh no", she exclaimed, "Ben's bike is broken!"

   print('''"Oh no", she exclaimed, "Ben's bike is broken!"''')

This message will span several lines of text

   message = """This message will
   span several
   lines."""
   print(message)
   
   print("""This message will span
   several lines
   of the text.""")

If you are not sure what class a value falls into,

Python has a function called type which can tell you. 

   print(type("Hello, World!"))
   print(type(17))
   print("Hello, World")

Variables

message = "What's up, Doc?"
n = 17
pi = 3.14159

print(message)
print(n)
print(pi)

How many ?

minutes = 645
hours = minutes / 60
print(hours)

This / and that //

In the previous example, what we might have wanted to know was how many whole hours there are, and how many minutes remain. Python gives us two different flavors of the division operator. The second, called integer division, uses the token //. It always truncates its result down to the next smallest integer (to the left on the number line). 

print(7 / 4)
print(7 // 4)
minutes = 645
hours = minutes // 60
print(hours)

Actual output in hours and minutes

#!/usr/bin/env python

minutes = 645                                                                       # Variable 1: total number of minutes
hours = minutes // 60                                                               # variable 2 uses a // division, takes the smaller integer.
rem=(minutes-(hours*60))                                                            # variable 3 gathers how many minutes where left out
print((minutes),("minutes"),("make"),(hours),("hours"),("and"),(rem),("minutes"))   # result in -h format

Both ways, the Math Way and the Py way

#!/usr/bin/env python
  
# Define some Variables:
m = 1645
h = m // 60
d = h // 24
 
 # The math Way:
rm = (m-(h*60))

 #The Py Way:
rp = m % 60 

print((m),("min"),("="),(d),("d."),(h),(":"),(rm),("with maths."))
print((m),("min"),("="),(d),("d."),(h),(":"),(rp),("with py."))

Nicer Output: 

#!/usr/bin/env python
# An hour/minutes counter, since you cant divide 1645 by 60 and have
# a meaningful answer.
