Learning Python - Codecademy

Not having had much experience in coding, let alone with Python, it was definitely a new experience for me! Python at first seemed challenging, but after today I am glad to say I know how to code at a beginner level. Some things I learned include:

• To allow code to output, you must use these functions: print, (), and one of two quotations " or '
• How to do multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition
• how to use str()
• how ints and floats in mathematical siutations
• different variables we can utilize 

The biggest challenge I faced was remembering what specifics inputs I needed to have the outputs work. After learning so many variables at once, it was hard remembering which ones I needed to use for the specific problem. The way I remembered all the variables was by writing them down in a notebook. I didn't have much background before coding today. The only experience I had in coding was through my computer foundations class in freshmen class. I can translate what I learned today in high school and college, and hopefully my future career of being an environmental engineer.
