MIT 6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming using Python, Fall 2022

MIT 6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming using Python, Fall 2022 Instructor: Ana Bell View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-100l-introduction-to-cs-and-programming-using-python-fall-2022/ YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP62A-ynp6v6-LGBCzeH3VAQB This lecture explores list operations and mutability: mutation, aliasing, and tricky examples with loops over L. Lists and tuples provide a way to organize data that naturally supports iterative functions. Tuples are useful when you have data that doesn’t need to change, e.g., (latitude, longitude) or (page #, line #). Lists are useful in dynamic situations, e.g., a list of daily top 40 songs or a list of recently watched movies.

About the course

Instructor: Ana Bell View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-100l-introduction-to-cs-and-programming-using-python-fall-2022/ *Note: Lectures 6, 10 have been updated! This subject is aimed at students with little to no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident in their ability to write simple programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python 3 programming language.
