This exercise is slightly modifed from the "python crash course" http://groups.google.com/group/pythoncrashclass?hl=en
- based on exercise from "python crash course" http://groups.google.com/group/pythoncrashclass?hl=en
Type the following into the Python interpreter and record the results & any questions / comments you have. NB: the ">>>" indicates the "prompt" (what Python prints to ask you to type something to it) -- so you don't type it!
>>> 1
>>> -1
>>> 1-
>>> 1 = 2
>>> 1 == 2
>>> 1 != 2
>>> 1 < 2
>>> 1 <=1
>>> 1 > 2
>>> 1 <= 1
>>> 1 > 2
>>> 1 < 3 < 5
>>> 1 < 3 and 3 < 5
>>> 1 < 3 < 5
>>> 1 < 3 and 3 < 2
>>> 1 == 1 == 1
>>> 1 * 2
>>> 1 + 2
>>> 1 / 2
>>> 1 / 2.0
>>> 1 // 2.0
the % sign is the mod operator. It gives the remainder involved.
so, a % b = remainder of a/b such that
if a=6 and b=4 then remainder = 2
if a=4 and b=6 then remainder = 4
this is because
6/4 = is 1 with a remainder of 2
4/6 = is .6 with a remainder of 4
>>> 9 % 2
>>> 10 % 3
>>> int
>>> int(2)
