Why are there types in Python programs? How can you tell what type of value is stored in 4 contiguous bytes of memory? How can you interactively work with the Python interpreter? What is prototyping as it applies to computer programming? Name two different types of errors that you can get when writing a computer program? What is unique about each type of error? What is a reference in a Python program? Why shouldn’t you compare floats for equality? What would you have to write to ask the user to enter an integer and then read it into a variable in your program?
Notice the first position in the string is assigned 0 as its index. The second character is assigned index 1, and so on. Strings and their operations are discussed in more detail in Chap. 3. 11 Write the three line program given in the two listings on page 24. Then, without writing the string literal “house”, modify it to print the string “house” to the screen using string indexing. HINT: You can add strings together to build a new string. So, name = "Sophus" + " Lie" will result in name referring to the string “Sophus Lie”.
To become a good programmer you must learn to look backwards through your code from the point where an error is detected to find the location where it occurred. In this case, the gallon variable should have been written as gallons on line 3 but was incorrectly typed. Another common error is the index out of range error. This can occur when trying to access a value in a sequence by indexing into the sequence. If the index is for an item that is outside the range of the sequence, an index out of range error will occur.
