2. PRESENTATION

Dear trainees, on behalf of the National Learning Service SENA, we welcome you.
to the virtual supplementary training program Variables and control structures in Python.

A programming language is a structured system that allows communication in a way

directly with a computer. There are many programming languages: Python, Java, Ruby, PHP and
C++ is one of the most used programming languages today, allowing for an increase in positions.
work for programmers.

In this complementary course, Python has been selected, a free software with a simple language.
easy to learn and powerful in its coding for developing web or mobile applications, games,
scientific graphics and algorithms of advanced calculation, moreover, it works on any operating system
that integrates its interpreter, being a useful tool for the Machine Learning area.

For the development of the proposed learning evidence in this guide, reading is necessary.
detailed and critical of the formative components of the program and based on the implementation of the workshops
Formulated, you will take ownership of the knowledge presented.

The proposed learning activities are designed for independent work.

3. FORMULATION OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Through the active didactic strategy of individual learning, you will be able to learn the fundamentals of
programming language Python, related to the use of constants and variables, input and
data output, assignment instructions, operators and predefined functions, use of counters
accumulators, conditional statements and repetitive cycles.

3.1 Learning Activity 1. Define variables in Python according to the data type.

Duration: 6 hours

Before starting with the development of learning activities and critical reading of the
training components, we invite you to participate in the social forum, this forum is a meeting space
between learners and instructor, where expectations, life projects, and tastes can be shared

5. GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Source Code: it is a set of instructions and logical orders, composed of algorithms that
found written in a certain programming language, which must be interpreted or
compiled, to allow the execution of a computer program.

Expression: a syntactic construction that can be evaluated, until giving a value. In other words,
an expression is an accumulation of elements of expression such as literals, names, accesses
to attributes, operators, or function calls, all of them returning a value. Unlike others
Languages, not all the syntax of the language are expressions.

Function: a series of statements that return a value to the caller. You can also pass to it
zero or more arguments which can be used in its execution.

IDLE: it is the integrated development environment for Python, or Integrated Development Environment for
Python. IDLE is a basic editor and interpreter environment that comes with the standard distribution.
of Python.

Indentation: this term means moving a block of text to the right by inserting spaces or
tabulators, to separate it from the left margin and distinguish it from the adjacent text; in the field of
In printing, this concept is called bleed.

Immutable: an object with a fixed value. Immutable objects are numbers, strings, and tuples.
objects cannot be altered. A new object must be created if a different value is to be set.
saved.

Interpreter: reads a program written in a high-level language, instruction by instruction, and for each
one of them translates the instructions into equivalent machine code and executes them
immediately. Every time we run the program with an interpreter, the process is repeated
translation and execution, since both are simultaneous.

GFPI-F-135 V01
 Multiparadigm: accepts different paradigms (techniques) of programming, such as object-oriented
to objects, imperative and functional programming.

Multiplatform: it means that it can be interpreted in various operating systems such as

GNU/Linux, OpenBSD, proprietary systems, among others.

Free software: it is the software that respects the freedom of users and the community, It means that the
users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, modify, and improve the software.

Dynamic typing: a dynamically typed language is one whose variables do not need to be defined.
assigning its data type, but it self-assigns at runtime, according to the value
declared.

The Zen of Python: it is a list of the basic principles of the Python language, they are useful to understand and
use the language. The list can be found by typing 'import this' in the interactive console.
