The Python Language

In Python, we manipulate data, in the form of static content, or in the form of variables. We will here review the four so-called **primitive** value types.

Strings are widely used in programming. In Python, several functions make it easier to manipulate these objects.

As a reminder, we saw in the tutorial how to approach manipulating a multi-line string containing CSV format data. The provided example corresponds to the code below:

The notion of loop is fundamental in computer science. A loop allows executing instructions multiple times, either while a condition is met (using the `while` loop), or by determining the number of __iterations__ that must be performed (using the `for` loop).

A new example of a constructed type is the dictionary.

It is possible to "store" several values in the same structure. This type of structure is called a __sequence__.

To practice conditions, loops, and string manipulation, here are some practical exercises to do:

This course aims to gather important elements to consider when creating a function.
