The best place to add the print statement is right before the line where the program failed and print out the data that seems to be causing the failure.

Python provides a built-in function called input that gets input from the keyboard. When this function is called, the program stops and waits for the user to type something. When the user presses Return or Enter, the program resumes and input returns what the user typed as a string.

Formal languages are dense, and it is often difficult to look at a piece of code and figure out what it is doing, or why. For this reason, it is a good idea to add notes to your programs to explain in natural language what the program is doing. These notes are called comments, and in Python they start with the # symbol.

We have seen two kinds of statements: print being an expression statement and assignment.

Exercise 2: Rewrite your pay program using try and except so that your program handles non-numeric input gracefully by printing a message and exiting the program. Enter Hours: 20 Enter Rate: nine Error, please enter numeric input Exercise 3: Write a program to prompt for a score between 0.0 and 1.0. If the score is between 0.0 and 1.0, print a grade using the following table:

Write the program to store the numbers the user enters in a list and use the max() and min() functions to compute the maximum and minimum numbers after the loop completes.

If you omit the first index (before the colon), the slice starts at the beginning of the string. If you omit the second index, the slice goes to the end of the string: If the first index is greater than or equal to the second the result is an empty string, represented by two quotation marks:

The int function takes any value and converts it to an integer, if it can, or complains otherwise.

For example, an advantage of the dictionary implementation is that we don't have to know ahead of time which letters appear in the string and we only have to make room for the letters that do appear.

All the uppercase letters come before all the lowercase letters, so: A common way to address this problem is to convert strings to a standard format, such as all lowercase, before performing the comparison. Keep that in mind in case you have to defend yourself against a man armed with a Pineapple.
