MIT 6.100L Introduction to CS and Programming using Python, Fall 2022 Instructor: Ana Bell View the complete course: ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-100l-introduction-to-cs-and-programmin… YouTube Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP62A-ynp6v6-LGBCzeH3VAQB This lecture discusses the core elements of programs: strings, input/output, f-strings, operators, branching, and indentation. Big idea: Debug early, debug often. Write a little and test a little. Don’t write a complete program at once. It introduces too many errors. Use the Python Tutor to step through code when you see something unexpected!
