new intro to Python videos (with math teachers in mind)

[kirby urner]

I notice Python being discussed.  Here are three new Python learning videos I just made today.  Not super-slick or anything.  Just turn on microphone and go. 

They're under 5 mins each so under 15 minutes in all:

https://youtu.be/nOzMG-cPWnc  (giving birth)
https://youtu.be/9pxshtSJI8E  (touching on inheritance)

They're useful for showing off the power of having a REPL ("reh pul").

Hi, Kirby,

Sorry to want to make you sound like TV chef Rachael Ray, who uses the abbreviation "E-V-O-O" and then has to clarify every time by saying "extra virgin olive oil."

But clarify what is a REPL?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter --

REPL means Read Evaluate Print Loop.

One types and expression, it gets evaluated, and printed, and so on, in a loop.

A read–eval–print loop (REPL), also known as an interactive toplevel or language shell, is a simple, interactive computer programming environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates them, and returns the result to the user; a program written in a REPL environment is executed piecewise.

Read–eval–print loop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
