Introduction to Programs Data Types and Variables

Writing a basic program. Basics of data types, variables and conditional statements

First Program is not Hello World?? this is blasphemy

[@sajateacher]

Thank God... I hate that program...

hahahaha i fell off my chair laughing thanks

[@gregorywilliams8580]

How is this guy so passionate with so many different study fields... Talent!!

[@minaaris]

If you call this passion and talent, you've never been passionate or talented about anything

[@shanethemainscott3290]

minaaris Everybody expresses passion and talent In their own ways

[@iBot.]

Math is very interrelated to Computer Science, they're not that different. Most concepts will transfer between the two seamlessly, so if you're really good at one you'll most likely be good at the other as well

[@grapy83]

Purest Talent and Love!...

[@sanyidupla8830]

Might not be talent, might be talent, we may never know and honestly who cares

[@jakeambrose4294]

compliment- one of the toughest and most annoying challenges to finding learning material is finding stuff where the teacher talks crisp and efficiently and isnt wasteful. in 2 seconds im already glad a found this. thank you and well done

[@bread5414]

I like how you wrote compliment in the beginning :)

[@littleripper312]

ok, I just looked that up on wiki and it said "Salman Khan holds four degrees: a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, as well as an MS in electrical engineering and computer science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MBA from Harvard Business School" I'm having a difficult enough time with one degree and can't wait to get out of school lol.

Khan Academy is human innovation at its finest!

[@jokerushun]

passion -> drive -> success. good job salmon, loving what you're doing for the future education system. i just graduated from a master's degree and really wished i had access to these videos in my high school, as they would've helped me much more with my core skills. i'll try talking my cousin in high school to watching these!

[@JohannSuarez]

Woah, I've watched over 300 of his math videos and now I just found out he also teaches Python. Is there anything Sal Khan doesn't know? Hahaha

[@abdulrehman1100]

I have computer science this semester and I am STRUGGLING with it. I used Khan academy for math help but I recently discovered the comp. science playlist. Watching him do math has helped me a lot and I have just watched half a video of comp. sci by him and I know without a doubt that he will explain it to me :)

[@NeThZOR]

A very good introduction to Python programming, and programming in general. Just what I needed. For a long time now I've thought of learning to program, as it will be advantageous for me to know it before I start with a computer science course. Thanks very much.

[@PhantomKThief]

Mr Khan is best teacher of the world, he can teach anything to anyone, sir I want to learn Java please make some tutorials on your website just like the html ones :)

[@DarkYuan]

I second that

[@DarkYuan]

Optical Quantum virus He was funny, knowledgeable, and didn't make you bored to learn Java

[@ath3m_]

"I second that" means he agrees with you.

[@jacobmacintyre4546]

Agree. I hated math until I started learning with Sal Khan. Am struggling with this same material in Udacity so came to Sal Khan for help... this guy just rocks.

[@dr1303]

Finally you're covering programming aswell? You must be my personal hero!

[@jcnationskoinonia6124]

Thanks Salman Khan for creating Khan Academy and teaching us very well.

[@AlanMorales502]

Thanks SO MUCH for doing Computer Science videos!!! I can't describe how excited I am to know that my favorite teacher is making videos of my favorite subject, for everyone :D

[@scientia_potentia_est]

Wow!!!, this is so exciting I'm really looking forward to watch this whole playlist and learn tons of new stuffs about computer programming, Thanks a lot Sal!!! you'r the best

[@usmanahmad7615]

I looked this up as a joke,this man is simply universal.

[@Gtajora]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for creating a computer science / Programming playlist!!! Hopefully you'll branch out to more programming languages!

[@QWERTYP5391]

Wow khan academy is really inspriational. I never been able to experience such a learning experience like this and will like to further my knowledge with the khan academy. Wow this is amazing.

[@yyyy2999]

This guy is really doing the world something good.

[@wlmeng11]

It's amazing how many videos you made available for free! Python is much easier than C++, so I think that if I do too much Python, I'll get lazy in C++.

[@alusinemkamara9812]

It so amazing , I like it, it is very educating.

[@supbrotv]

great video!i went through 7 or 8 exercises in codeyear but didnt know what if or else did but this video explained everything in 11 minutes

[@memerbruh2364]

it works ahhhhhhhh great sharing...

[@rockstarpromos]

Great intro, simple and clean. Thanks.

[@sammiem110]

Awesome tutorial! =D This is really helpful since I'm into computer programming! ^^

[@GohansRiceBall]

There is a Computer Science section now? Amazing, always good to see more examples. I'm looking forward to it all.

[@Electrk]

How does your brain not explode from having so much knowledge about everything?

[@lactate]

please put this back on the site

[@miqbri]

In languages like java, you would use {} to specify such code block. Python uses white space instead. This means that if the print you're referring to was embedded under the else, then it would consider it as part of the else. This might a little confusing at first, but after couple hours/days you realise that you would format the text like this anyways, unless you write code as a pig and so it makes the code actually even more readable..

[@extremefire5254]

thank u so much man u helped more than ever now python looks so easy thanks subscribed :D

[@torstein99]

i didnt know you could programing!!!! man your head is a gigantik library!!

[@ny1fanta]

you know computer science now? omg what you dont know.... you're freaking amazing!

I'm eight years late, but just to tell you, he has a masters degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

[@abusuphianabdullahi4898]

that's really great, love it

[@kebbajanha-ck2qy]

I find it difficult to understand python as a computer science student beginner, as I have downloaded many tutorials but with Khan academy things become easy, thank you so much

[@ninjapirate123]

yeah same, even my computer science teacher doesn't teach so well either

[@batfan1939]

He does have a LOT of Python tutorials, as well. Intro to Python, wxPython (Python using windows, buttons, boxes, etc rather than just plain command line text), and PyGame (incomplete and self-explanatory)

[@cerenyavuz4686]

please add this course to your website, love your work

[@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_]

This guy's IQ must be off the radar. Some of the stuff that he uploads comes from him buying textbooks, reading them, then turning what he learned into a video. He does all that in addition to running Khan Academy and doing presentations here and there. Oh, another thing...he has a family as well... :D

[@tushar12345]

holy frickin python snake! I didn't know there was an entire "python tutorial" playlist in KhanAcademy!! btw I'm a first year college student

[@KnownDominance0]

I would like it if you could do some java programming videos, I would love that and I'm sure a lot of other people would too, thanks for the great videos.

[@azadkaya]

I love how you end your videos - ''... We are done with the program''

[@AlderDragon]

@jordan10la I've only just started learning python on these videos. The biggest difference I've seen so far is that you have to define your variable datatypes in java. So in python, Sal might write "a = 5" but in java you would need to specify that a is an integer: "int a = 5;" (also adding semicolons to end every statement).. if you understand basic python going into a java class, you should have a huge advantage to anyone going in knowing nothing of either.

[@rgnygvbhtf]

Computer Science? Beautiful.

[@kurisu9056]

i love this guy! so much, best teacher though

[@dylandoyle493]

True! A friend of mine has taken computer science for 3 years and the school decided to switch from Java to Visual C#. He freaked for a solid week until he actually used to programs and realized they're very similar. xD Live and learn I guess.

[@rumiqdj]

May you add subtitles to this playlist? Because it's easier to understand it for foreign students :) thank you!

[@jordan10la]

@AlderDragon That's very good to hear. Thank you.

[@Pavel0793]

why are not these vids on web site? I've just encounter this playlist accidentally, could not find anything about Python on web site.

Hi which screen recorder (FREE) you recommend for PC - Win-10?

[@FalconsFanForLyfe]

i also want a C++ programming tutorial

[@Euphoniumstar]

Yes I know, but whenever I do that in my version of python, it executes the command I've already typed instead of adding to it without executing it...

[@jrwkc]

@Dracanic ipython is awesome for the command line. If you want an actual visual interface, use PyDev for eclipse.

[@Crazyfor2PM]

I LOVE YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH...I Really needed this

Can't wait for Discrete Math PlayList!!!!!!!!

[@AlexAulds]

the video was very helpful, thanks. Could anyone give me an idea of something similar to this that would be used in a working environment?

[@scampz1]

are you going to make any tutorials with more advanced c++ programming language and compilers? I really want to learn starting with the correct processes from the beginning.

[@jainianand95]

I hv a question sir How does the scripter know that the 'else' condition has ended? Meaning that the last 'print' command should hv been read only if 'else' condition was fulfilled how n why is it read by the 'if' command also without any specifications?

[@jordan10la]

@AlderDragon Alright, thank you for all your help.

[@telldotdk]

Smart reply :o) So true.

[@Ger1949]

PyScripter is a nice IDE, but it only runs on Windows and it only works with Python. The Eclipse IDE runs on Windows and Mac and Lunix such as Ubuntu. Eclipse also has plugins for Python as well as Java and C/C++. Clear, step by step directions for installing Eclipse and configuring it with the PyDev Python plugin for Eclipse if you google "Configure Eclipse for Python - Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology".

[@FredrichNietzsche25]

[@chinwachukwu2622]

This video is really good, I learnt how to play around with variables and print statement. I'm surprised to hear the same voice in biology and in this python programming. Is it really the same person that is teaching all these courses?

[@user-nb7uj2kv9r]

Lol it is

[@user-nb7uj2kv9r]

That's Sal khan for you

[@AlderDragon]

@jordan10la I downloaded 2.2.2 first (not sure why), but it wouldn't work with PyScripter. So I went back and downloaded 2.6.5 and it worked. 3.1.4 would work fine, but it's slightly different than what Sal is using (the syntax of the language will be different). You should be fine downloading 2.6 or 2.7.

[@MeganMcken]

i wish there was good c++ tutorials in youtube MEHHHH.

[@schlam9320]

Thanks for that asset man, will really help me. Do you think you could send me the link to the textbook also?

[@petrocks5343]

How would I go about installing pyscripter on my chrome book? I downloaded pythonanywhere but it doesn't have the toolbars and everything else...

[@PrototypePrjs]

nice video

[@kn-yq1rv]

I honestly prefer IDLE, but only because it's the standard at the professional level, and it's crossplatform. When it comes to novice CS, it doesn't matter which IDE you use.

[@MeganMcken]

@uda911 thank you! these videos are great.

[@empathylessons2267]

Print (I Am Conscious) *Oh shit I've created life.*

[@jordan10la]

I'm interested in this video series but in September I will be taking a computer science course in university which will teach me Java. Will going through this playlist and learning some Python just confuse me when I go to learn Java?

[@carolinaSolid19]

However... my comp sci class was learning Java. Didn't have time to try and learn a different programming language just to learn the language I was being tested on.

[@wlmeng11]

@thecomputerkid11925 Like amputeen said, you need quotes to make sure it gets recognized as a data string, not as numerical values or variables.

[@michaeleduardoconde9379]

if I'm gonna be successful with my dream job, I will give full (not really but most) of the credits to khan

[@MegaYogini]

I use windows 10. I have tried to run the PyScripter on my computer but windows doesn't let me run it. What can I do?

Great....conditionals...now i gotta go learn geometry >.>

[@TheRijintube]

I was thinking the same!

[@jpantheman]

Awesome video! What can't you do Sal?

[@ScottWiins]

Can you provide a link to a safe website to download this version of pyscripter so we can follow along?

[@raheeljafarani]

Can you do some programming Lessons in java I'm currently in high school learning java And having a lot of problems with it it would be really helpful if you posted some videos teaching java programming :) THANK YOU!

[@Steidemeister56]

well he did study at MIT and harvard so i guess he has a lot of potential

[@jordan10la]

@AlderDragon That's good. The only experience I have is some ActionScript 2.0 which I've long since forgotten. With regards to Python, which version should I download? Sal 2.6 or 2.7 but I noticed that 3.1.4 has been released. Being a higher number I would think it's superior. Am I wrong in thinking that?

[@ThirstyCartoon]

Some men just want to watch the world learn.

[@alllove01]

It's my first time trying to learn this and I use a MacBook pro. For some reason when I put a colon and try to repeat what Khan did, It would say that it's invalid syntax. Does anyone know if the colon sign is different for the Terminal - python version?

[@jbukka120]

I really want to follow along with this video, but I can't find pyscripter anywhere! Can someone post a link so I can download it? Thanks!

I'm having some trouble getting Python installed on Win 7. I downloaded v 2.7.2 - Windows x86-64 MSI Installer. I double-click it and it opens in Winrar. Where is the actual installation file located? Also, when I try to unzip the contents to a new empty folder, it says that certain files already exist- I read something about this being due to Windows not being able to recognize the difference between FILE.etc and file.etc ...help? Should I be using one of the "tar ball" installations instead?
