Just when you thought that
Python couldn't get any cooler, you find out it includes numbers and
math. Yes. Are you kidding me? No. Seriously. It kind of had me worried there for a
sec because I wasn't a big fan of math in school and math. Wasn't a big fan
of me. I, uh, I wasn't good at You. Don't have to be good
at math to learn Python. And the math I'm talking
about is like stupid, simple, like one plus two equals four simple. And it's this simple math that we're
going to learn here in this video that makes Python so powerful. Maybe
math, wasn't fun for you in school, but it's about to get lit with Python.
Trust me. It's going to be awesome. So here we go. This is episode
three of my free Python series, where I'm going to teach you everything
you need to know to become dangerous in Python episode one and two, we covered
some stuff like strings and variables, and we had like seven cups of
coffee or was that just me? I hope you joined me in that. And now we're going to build on that
knowledge and have even more coffee. So let's dive right in, but first, what
do you need? Well, if you're new here, you need nothing. I've
got a free Python lab. Check that link in the description. You can start coding right now
from your browser or even man, your stinking phone. And also you're
going to need coffee. It's just required, Never checked out coffee. And also a massive shout out to
the sponsor of this entire series. In that reason, it can be free
here on YouTube. It pro TV. I use it pro TV to learn everything in
it from Linux to networking, to hacking. And you guessed it by thoughts. So whatever you want to learn in it
from a CCNA to a plus to everything, they got you back. They got fantastic
videos. Hands-on labs, practice exams, pretty much everything you need to get
started in it or advance your career in it. So check it out, link below
and use my code network, Chuck, and you'll get 30% off
forever. Let's get started. So just like episode one and two,
go ahead and fire up that lab. Check that link in the description. Load
that sucker up and we'll get started. Cause we got to do this hands-on you
got to start coding with me right now. Best way to learn. Okay.
So far in this course, we've talked about two very big ideas
in Python, the variables and strengths. So go ahead with me right now. As
I'm typing this type it with me, create the variable name and then assign
that variable. The string of your name, try it out. Do a mine here. There's my
variable. And there's my string string. We know what the stream,
because it's between quotes. No, it's a variable because it
ain't got nothing, man. Now
let's talk about numbers. The first type of number we'll talk
about is our good old whole number. It's the first thing we learned
in math, right? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as we're also going to learn
here with Python and Python, a whole number is referred to as an
integer because they just have to be different non skinny. Well kind of
that's what it's called an integer. Let's go make one right now.
Come on, let's go. You ready? It's super complicated. Watch this. I
want you to create the integer seven Done. That's an integer right
there. If I were to run this code, it's fine by clicking notice though,
I don't have anything outputting. Cause I don't, I'm not telling it to, but that is indeed an integer AKA whole
number. And really it's that simple. Now, just like we can assign
a string to a variable. We can also assign a number
or an integer to a variable. So why don't you do that for me right now, assign that number seven to a variable
named age. I'm going to do it. And it's very simple. Age
equals seven. Now I'm not seven. So I'm going to fix that
real quick. I am 31. I'm getting old man is more
coffee. Just thinking about that. Now let's go ahead and
print those suckers out. So just below all that code here, we're going to do print we'll print our
variable name and just blow that we'll print our variable age and let's run
that code real quick run. Awesome. Never Chuck 31. Okay, cool.
We've got two data types here. We've got a string and we have an
integer. Awesome. Now real quick. I want to show you a handy way to identify
what type of data we're looking at. And it's a function called type.
Literally. It's what it is. You'll type it in like this
type and then parentheses and whatever the variable is or the
data is you'll put it in between. So for example, if we wanted to find out what type
of data the variable name was, we would type in type and then
put name. Let's try it out. So just below all this junk, we're going
to do type for emphases and then name. Now, if you run that code, we're not
going to get anything going click on run. Nothing because we got to print that out. So I'll just put the print function
around that prince and the parentheses around that. So now I'm using the print
function to print the type function, just programming. So cool.
Anyways, it's going to print that. So now right here in our output,
we see the class is STR or string. Let's do that same thing for our integer
and see what happens. Spoiler alert. It's going to say it's an integer,
but let's just try it out. Print type age and we'll print
that sucker out. Boom. Okay, cool. Just had to prove
it to you. So you know, I wouldn't line strings
and integers right there. Now I want you to do something
for me. Let's do a little, little experiment here. I want you to add quotes around this
energy right here around 31. Do it. Let's do it right now. This is gonna be
cool. All right. So quotes and quote. So now let me ask you a question. When we do run this code here and we try
to find out what type of data age is, what's it going to say? Now that
we've added quotes, let's try it out. Go and click on run. Ooh,
did you see that coming? Both of them are now strings because
remember anything between quotes is a string. Even if you put a number there, that number is now seen by Python
as just regular text a string, knowing this is going to come in handy
here in a moment when we keep working on our robot barista. Yeah, I
didn't forget about him. Did you? We're going to keep making
him better. So real quick. I want you to take those quotes off
now because we want that 31 or whatever yours is to be a number you'll by the way, you can put network Chuck
and 31 here. If you want, as you want to be as old as me gross.
But anyways, um, just like math, we also have decimals, right? So
let me type in a new variable here. I'll do actual underscore age equals
am I real age in decimal point is actually 31 point 96 and yeah,
my birthday is coming up. Can you figure out what
it is? Let me know. Now, as soon as we add that
decimal to our number here, our integer it's no longer an integer
it's now what's called a floating point number or float for short gosh, that made you want to rip
beer float through real quick. Let's actually print that type out
just to see what it looks like. So I'll do print type and
then that variable actual underscore age. And let's do that,
print it out or run the code. Right? Men look at us. We got three data
types in Python. Now string integer. Was that an arrow? Let's fix
that. Let's go and float. AKA, just text whole numbers
and decimals. Now again, normally when you start
talking about numbers, you're going to start talking about
math, right? And yes, there is math. Actually. You could use Python
as a calculator, like watch this. Let's remove all this code right
here. Just go in here and delete it. So right now when we run this, nothing's going to be outputted
because we're just setting or assigning variables here. So let's
do some Python math. So do this real quick
print five space plus space seven. What do you think's going
to happen there? Let's try it out. Let's run the code. Run
simple enough, right? It did math five plus seven here we
have the integer five and the integer seven and we added them
together and we printed it out. We can also subtract five
minus seven, negative two. Yes. Negatives can be integers. We can also divide with the Ford
slash we can multiply with the asterisk. We can even do five
to the seventh power exponent. We can even do all of that
in one print function, plus six divided by nine times
seven or I type six times six minus four. Let's run it. Now. You're probably not surprised that
Python can do math cause mean computers. They're pretty big on math. They love
it. It's kind of their love language. And also in case you were
wondering, Python does follow
the order of operations. So dust off the cobwebs of that math
knowledge and try to remember that or just Google it. So we'll do
exponents first multiplication. You know how it does just math stuff,
but it is important to remember that. Now we can also set that
entire equation to a variable. I'll create a variable name to math
and have that equal, all that stuff. If I run that code, of course, it's not going to show anything
cause I'm not printing it out. Let's print out math down here,
prints math, and let's run that. Cool. Now real quick. I want
you to try this first, make sure you do have these
variables in place. So your age, trying to figure out your actual age,
there's a website actually called, uh, agent al.io, kinda neat, and then type out some kind of math
problem or equation and set that to the variable math. Once you do that, I want you to add all those variables
together and set it to the variable results. Pause the video. I'll
wait and unpause. Let's try it. So to do this first I'm to
move that print function, we don't need that right now. I'll define
my variable results. Have that equal. Now it could go through here and
painstakingly type in each number, but we don't have to do that. We can just simply type in the variables
and add those variables together. So I'll say age plus actual age plus math, and then let's,
uh, print out those results. So print the variable results
and let's see what happens. Bam. We added them together. Now pop quiz that result
or the variable results. What type of data is
that? Do you know? Well, if we can look at the results and we
know that there's a decimal right there, we know a decimal is a float or a
floating point number and fun fact, any time Python divides or uses
division, it will convert those numbers. It's dividing into floating point numbers
before it divides and the result will be a floating point. So anyways, what we've covered so far is
that you can do math and Python. If you want to add it's a plus
side, subtract, it's a minus sign. So stuff that you probably intuitively
already knew, right? Multiply. It's going to be that asterisk
divide Ford slash and then exponents, which this one may not have been
too obvious, double asterisk, eight to the power of 25,
whatever you want to do. So now that you are armed with
the knowledge of Python math, we can add some features to our robot
barista because as it stands right now, our coffee is free and uh,
we're losing money like crazy. So we had to actually start charging
our customer some money and to do that, we need, we need math. So go and open
up the second lab for this episode. Yet two labs. Yes, yes, let's do it. We're going to modify our network coffee
script. Let's do this quick recap. We've expertly programmed
him to greet our customers. We then program him to ask their names
and they can tell him and he'll remember it because we assign it to a variable.
He then greets them with that name, gives them a menu. He will
ask them what they want. They will tell him he'll remember it
and tell them it'll be ready here in a moment. Let's run it real quick.
Just for fun, because it is fun. Run. What's your name? My name is Beatrice.
I would like a latte. Thank you, robot barista. And it's gonna be
ready in a moment. I'm so at home, but we're losing money. Let's charge
some money real quick. Now here. I want to see if you can do this.
Let's let's challenge you a bit. Here are your tasks and then we'll walk
through it together. Task number one, first, create a variable named
price and assign an integer. We're setting our price for each
coffee and just keep things simple. Everything on the menu is
the same price. Now for me, I want to set mine to $8 because we're
fancy man. Never shucked coffee is good. Anyways, you can set it
to eight. If you want. It doesn't have to be eight tasks.
Number two, program, our robot barista. We'll call them RB for short robot
barista to ask how many coffees they would like and also make sure he remembers
how many they want. And finally task. Number three. Now keep in mind. This can be done various ways
each step can be done for all. Step one is pretty straight forward. Step two and three can be
done in a number of ways, as long as you accomplish it. That's cool. Step three or task three program RB
robot barista to give them their total, the total cost of all the coffees.
So right now, pause the video. See if you can do this, add this to
your script. I'll wait and unpause. Here we go. First. Let's
fuel up again. Python. Math. Just when you thought you
were done with math and school here, it comes again, but it's okay.
It's still fun. Well, it's it. Wasn't a fun before. It's fun now though. So our first thing is to figure out where
in our script do we want to ask them? Well, it looks like right here after
we set the order equal to input. So first let me set our price.
Our variable will be named price, have the equal to, and again, it was
going to be $8. So just simply eight. Now I will say this as we're doing this
and you may have tried this already. There's a little gotcha. There. You may have hit this error and we'll
talk about how you can fix anyways. This solves a task. Number
one, test number two, robot barista needs to ask our customer
how many coffees they want and remember it. So that's going to involve a
variable and the input function, I'll name my variable. And you could have done whatever you
want it to I'll name mine. Quantity. I'll have that equal the
input function. So in book, because we want to get some information, some data from our customers
and we'll ask how many coffees would you like? And then I'll put a space after that to
make sure it looks pretty. And actually, you know what? I'll do a I'll space. I'll do a line break with our
backslash in new line indicator. So now at this point we
get our price variable set. We've got our quantity variable set, which we'll get data from our
customer and the robot barista. We'll ask them for it. Now let's do some math because now the
robot barista has to tell them their total. Now again, you could have done this a number of
ways and maybe you did hit a hiccup and we'll talk about that, but
I'm gonna start with this. I'm going to start with
calculating the total. I'm going to do a variable for that. So
I'll say total and I'll have the equal. And then here's, here's
where the math comes in. The total will be the
price of coffee, right? Times however many coffees they want. So let's do that math here
in our variable. So I'll
say price times, quantity, that should work, right? You
would think not to check our math. Let's print the total.
So I'll do print total. So I'll print the total variable
and let's see if it works. Let's go ahead and run the code.
We're run through real quick. My name is Patricia. I want black
coffee. I want 10. Cause um, I want some energy today.
Well, what just happened there? So what we wanted to happen was we
wanted eight times the quantity, which we typed in 10, which we
know based on simple math skills, it should be 80, but
instead we cut eight tens. Why? Well, because of this,
when you use the input function, whatever data it asks you for that
data is not going to be a number. It's not going to be an integer. What do you think is going to be it's
going to be a string. So when we told, we told robot barista to
multiply price by quantity, he multiplied the integer
eight times the string 10. So he literally gave us eight
tents, which has got a funny, right. But how do we fix that?
Because it's not funny. We're trying to run a coffee
shop here. How do we fix that? But what we need is
for the input function, the data we received from our customer,
we, when we that not to be a string, we need that to be an integer. Don't
we new concept time. Here we go. You can convert data easily like
this. Oh, it's so cool. Watch it. It's so powerful. You're gonna
use this all the time. Trust me. And we can do it in a number of places, but I want to do it right here because
it's very clear when you do it here. Otherwise I'm doing like this. Like
we'll make this very clear. Anyways, here we go. So here in our total
with our math equation right now, we're multiplying an
integer with a string. Let's change that string into an
integer. We can do it like this. We're going to wrap
them up. So watch here, right here with our quantity variable. I'm going to type in I N
T and then parentheses, but parentheses around him. Bam.
What we just did here is pure magic. This function right here,
this int function or entity, your function turns whatever's
in the side into an integer. So now theoretically, if we did it right, we're multiplying integer by integer.
Let's see if it works. It's run our code, run, walk through it again. My name is
Ben. I would like an espresso please. I want 20 fingers crossed
civil works. Bam. Yes. Okay. We successfully converted our string
into an integer for the sake of math. Yes. Cool. So we accomplished task
one and task two, but now task three. We have to make our robot barista tell
our customer that they have a total. So just under print total, actually,
we're going to remove print total. We want him to actually say something
human-like so we'll say print. We'll do a string. We'll
say, um, thank you, period. Your total is we'll do
a colon and a space. And then we've been here before.
We're going to concatenate. We're going to add some stuff together
and our print function add some strings. So we'll do plus space and then
we'll do total. The variable. Now more foreshadowing. This
probably is not going to work. Do you know why though? Do
you know why this won't work? Let's run the code and see what
happens. Click on run. What's my name, Tom riddle. I want a cappuccino.
I want 70 cappuccinos. Whoa, error. Ooh. Get used to
it. This can happen to you a lot. Now let's take a look at what
happened here. We have a type error. Now we know from earlier that
when we are talking about type, we're talking about type of data.
When we use our type function, it will tell us what kind of data
it is. So same type error robot. Barista can only concatenate
string, not integer to string. So what he's saying here is that, Hey,
I can add a string to another string, but bro, he threw at me the problem
of a string plus an integer, which equals can't do that. I'm
confused. I don't know how to do that. We have the reverse problem now don't we
earlier, when we did our math problem, we needed a string to become an integer. Now it seems we need an integer to become
a string. See if you can solve this, using the same mentality, the same
pattern that we just followed. See if you can do. It's actually
crazy simple. Now. Whereas earlier, when we wanted to convert
our string into an integer, we surrounded it with the
int function. Just like, so turning it into an integer.
We can do the same thing, but instead of int we'll do STR
for string to that same variable, just like that. Let's try. Let's try now.
It's not going to be quantity, right? It would be total. So it's going to be
total right here. Right here on total. I feel like I'm saying Toto, total typing STR parentheses and we'll
wrap it up both sides. So now we should, at this point, be adding
a string or concatenating, a string with another string.
We're converting this number, this endanger into a string. Let's run
the code and see what happens. Hello? I am poppy. I would like
a black coffee please. I would like over 9,000 coffees please.
Ooh, we got it. We got it. It worked. So take that in for a second. We convert a string to an integer
and then an integer into a string. That's programming man. That's
programming anyway. Sorry. I'm getting a little I'm way too.
Hopped up on caffeine. Coffee break. Now that is some coffee bill. 72,000
business is good now real quick. There's no dollar sign. Let's
add a dollar sign to it. Now, how would you do that? How would you add
a dollar sign to that statement? Well, it's pretty simple, right? We go
in here and within that string, let's say like right around here, put a
dollar sign. Let's run it right? Hello. My name is John Hammond.
I would like an espresso. I would like 8,000
espressos please. All right, now we're talking money.
Now. One more task for you. I want you in this last statement
for the robot barista staying. Hey sounds good. John Hammond we'll have that espresso
ready for you here in a moment. That doesn't sound right because John
Hammond wanted 8,000 espressos and we're only seeing one come on, robot
barista, get your head together. So I want you to throw a number
in here. Say sounds good. John Hammond we'll have jeez, that
vet to a, your we'll have your, that. Will you say your 8,000 or however many
you type in espresso's ready for you in a moment. Let's do that real
quick. That's pretty simple. It's using skills and tools. We've
already learned. So down here, whereas this sounds good. Let me say, plus the name we'll have that order
ready for you here in a moment. We'll change the, that
to your we'll have your, and then we need to add
another thing to this. We'll add the quantity and then
we'll add one more string after that. And it will simply just be
a space character that way
it's nice and pretty well let's run that code. See if it
works, Ron, my name is Nick. Nick likes black coffee,
92,000 copies, please. That's some Coffeyville man.
Good job robot barista now. Sure. Black coffee is not implorable. We
haven't got to how we can do that yet, but man, this is beautiful. Our robot
barista. He's a champ who, okay. We, we did a lot. We learned some Python
math, which normally math sucks. I think we can all agree with that.
Right? But math and Python much better. So here we learned the new data
types. We learned about integers, which are whole numbers. We learned
about floating point numbers or floats, which are decimals. And then
we saw how we could use math, basically treating Python
like a calculator and do
some cool stuff like adding prices to our coffee shop, who, who
were thought to add prices to coffee. And we did some crazy things
like converting into Jersey, into strings and strings
and integers. Dude, we're doing some cool stuff and we're
just getting stuck in case you were wondering. Yeah, Python does
get way, way cooler than this, but I hope you enjoyed this.
