Python 3.4 - Lists


Lists can store data in different orders and can be used to draw upon data or be used for other purposes.

>>>list_name = [1,1,3,8]

The positions are 0,1,2,3

You can access items in a list:

>>>list_name[2]

3

You can replace players

>>>list_name[2] = 4

>>>List_name

 [1,1,4,8]

You can add new items (i.e. +[3,4,5]) to the list but it won't change the list permanently. You can add on things though by .append

. means do this - append

you can remove and add new items (slice) by writing the list name then this [:2]. This will take the first two items in the list and stop at 2. You can do many things to the items once you have sliced them like: adding new items in their place, remove them []

You can print out any item in a list by just specifying the location in the list. You can also create functions that can drop certain items and complete math functions on the rest.

In the process of selecting items in a list you can also modify them (i.e. capitalizing them).

Conversations Ongoing: Valuing Modernization in Early European History

Western scholarship has been known to focus on several metanarratives that define itself. These narratives can influence how we as historians view a certain time period, people, or event. Modernization in early European history can be seen as a major driving force in past and current scholarship. Influences of scientific progress, a fracturing Catholic Church, and growing capitalistic influences dominate the ideas scholars possess when viewing Europe during this time period. In regard to our own ideas about the narrative of modernization, its benefits and costs, one should be cognizant of this in viewing the social, economic, political and religious changes early "modern" Europeans faced.

Python 3.4 - Numbers

 Oh no, numbers!!! + add - subtract * multiply / divide Don't forget your order of operations (i.e. 3 + 2 * 8 = 19, not 40.) Parentheses take precedence! (i.e. (3 + 2) * 8 = 40, not 19.) // drop the remainder % give me the remainder only ** to the power of 3 (i.e. 5 * 5* 5 = 125 is the same as 5 **3) **variables can be turned into numbers and vice versa (i.e. bacon = 5, therefore bacon + 5 = 10)*** num = 3 print ( type (num)) num2 = 2.3 print ( type (num2)) num3 = 3 + 2 print (num3) print ( 3 * 3 ) print ( 3 / 2 ) # drops the remainder print ( 3 // 2 ) print ( 3 ** 2 ) # this is equal to 3 x 3 or 3^2 print ( 3 ** 3 ) # this is 3^3 or 3 x 3 x 3 print ( 2 % 2 ) # this is giving the remainder, which would be zero for x in range ( 10 ): if x % 2 == 0 : print (x , 'these numbers have a remainder of 0 when divided by 2' ) else : print (x , 'these do not.' ) # order of operations hold true in python print ( 3 * 2 -
