Introduction to Python

Since Python is a different programming environment than most students are accustomed to using, this week's assignment will focus on setting up the IDE and writing a simple program.

Exercises

Write a program that initializes two variables with the values $16$ and $4.$ Your program must print out the sum, difference, product, and quotient:

Assume we use the following statements to start a program.

speed $=55$

time $=20\mathrm{.}4$

delimiter $=\text{'}.$

For each of the following expressions, display the value of the expression and its type.

speed $/$ time

speed $/5$

speed $/5\mathrm{.}0$

time $/4$

delimiter $*3$

Use the Python interpreter to check your answers.

The volume of a sphere with a radius $r$ is $\frac{4}{3}{r}^3.$ What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of

$8?$ Assume the precision for $$ to be $3\mathrm{.}14159.$

Submit your code and screen output through Canvas by the due date.

Learning Objective

This exercise contributes to the development of problem solving skills by installing a new programming environment and learning how to write simple program with it$.$
