 So one of the luxuries of working with Python is it is an interpretive language It it actually allows us to sort of program on the fly if you will Case in point one of the things that we can do is actually just start typing into the show So say for example, I wanted to do something like three plus three All right. Well, I'm actually kind of treating it like it's a massive Calculator all of a sudden I can hit enter And I'm gonna see six And I can do the same kind of concepts I can come in and maybe do three minus three And I can hit enter and I get zero Now this is where things get a little kind of off if you think about this What happens if I want to do say multiplication. Well, all right multiplication simple enough three times three, right? I got an error and this is actually kind of going all the way back to say Let's say fifth grade fifth grade you learn you're learning about the multiplication tables and you did three x three Should equal nine so one Python's yelling at me. Well, if we kind of continue on, you know You went into around the sixth grade something called algebra and in algebra you remember your instructor was like No, you can't use the X in this kind of fashion because it's a variable Well, guess what we use variables in Python And so all of a sudden what your instructor kind of gave you was while we do a dot That's how your instructor looked and so you went, okay. Well, I'll just do three period three Okay, that didn't help. Maybe maybe it's because I'm putting the space in there. So three point three No, that's a decimal point all of a sudden so Obviously we're starting to kind of rack our brain But the same kind of concept came into play because the dot is so similar to the period And there is no kind of middle dot notation on my keyboard anywhere But we kind of started to do is we said well, let's rep Replace that operator. Let's replace it with something we understand something that's kind of freely available it's not being used by anything so All of a sudden we said three asterisk three and all of a sudden That allows me to now have multiplication Now the same kind of concept comes in with division. I don't have any I don't have say for example anywhere on my computer where I have We'll get into that in a second. I don't have this symbol anywhere on my computer keyboard. So How do I work? Well, if we think about fractions for a second and you can kind of see I have some examples there I'm able to represent something like one half Same kind of way. I can make it sort of draw out like this Well, again now all of a sudden what I'm able to do is come in here and say three divided by three And if I hit enter ah Ah But you start to see oh well there's special kind of there's syntactical kind of changes It's not necessarily math. So say for example, I went ten You know a little carrot to We learned again in sort of your math classes and only a calculator that that's ten raised to the second power Yeah Ten It's not eight. Okay, that's it's clearly not eight. So how do I do my exponents first off The carrot in this case is actually being changed. It has a different purpose. That's why it's pulling up the eight It's actually taking all the ones and zeros and the binary string of ten and all the ones and zeros in the binary string of In our case two and seeing where where they are and kind of comparing them Each all right. Well, that's not what I want. It's not helping me So all of a sudden how do I do it? Well instead I come in here and I just add a Second asterisk that is our way of saying I want to take this instead of multiplying it. I want to Raise it to the second power. So in this case all of a sudden ten asterisk asterisk two is gonna allow me to have 100
