=== Part 2 - Setting Up Your In order to learn how to use python on your Linux Environment For OPS435 Labs===machine, it is important to setup your Linux environment and learn how to interact with a Python shell. The following should be done on a terminal as the superuser (i.e. root).

 :#The first step is to update your entire system. Fedora uses a new package manager: it is based on yum, yet it contains newer code and has more maintainer features as also contains improved features. It should work very similarly to the yum command, but check the man pages if you get confused.<pre>dnf update</pre> '''Perform the following steps:''' #Lets start installing applications we need, first Python version 3 and version 2:<sourcelang="bash">dnf install python3 python2 # Install python3.5 and python2.7yum update

When the check script tells you everything is "ok", you may procede to the next step. = Investigation 2 - IPython = IPython is an interactive environment that allows us to run python code line by line as we write it. This will function almost exactly like a bash shell prompt, enter a command and recieve the output back. However the commands that we will be running are lines of python code. Using this method we will start creating scripts out of the code we build in the IPython environment.  == Part 1 - Using IPython == === Using Magic Functions === Lets start with trying to run some python code in a interactive shell. This is a advanced python shell, similar to the bash shell that you have been using throughout the linux courses.  To get into the ipython shell type:</ol><prebr>ipython3</prebr>

We should now have a list of all ====Creating the bash command available in IPython. Shortly we will go over how to add new bash commands into this environment, but you must remember, these are only here to assist in your python scripting, we are not here to learn bash commands.introductory "Hello World" Script====

Next lets add You will learn to create a new bash command that seems simple python script in this section. This python script will just print the text "hello world". The "hello world" an old traditional first program students usually are taught to create, which is based on the first programming example from the first C programming text co-written by Dennis Ritchie, the creator of the C programming language and Brian Kernighan. You will learn how to run the python script in the python3 shell as well as learn how to be missing run the python script from this list:the bash shell.

<pre>exitipython3vim</pre> You should be seeing an error telling you invalid syntax. This is happening because we need to create a config file to make this alias persist inbetween sessions. Exit your current IPython session:<pre>exit</pre> #Create a new python file and add the following content to it: <pre>vim ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/00-alias.ipy <pre> Place our alias inside:<blockquote>%alias vim vim</blockquote> Save and quit the file. Now lets return to our IPython shell and confirm that our alias is available right away. <pre>ipython3%vim</pre> At this point vim should open successfully and you should now understand how to create new IPython aliases and store them persistently. Exit vim now and head back to the IPython shell.  Lets setup a directory structures for completing and organizing labs. These should be the locations to store in your lab scripts. <pre>%mkdir ~/ops435%mkdir ~/ops435/lab1%mkdir ~/ops435/lab2%mkdir ~/ops435/lab3%mkdir ~/ops435/lab4%mkdir ~/ops435/lab5%mkdir ~/ops435/lab6%mkdir ~/ops435/lab7%mkdir ~/ops435/lab8</pre> If you are interested in finding more information about magic functions in IPython, try entering the IPython shell and typing the following:<pre>%magic</pre> This should show you a OVERWHELMING amount of information, as we move through the course we will slowly use different magic functions from here, but we will never use all of them. To be continued. Magic functions than just running bash commands. They cover a huge range of different tasks, while we are writing code, allowing us to interactively inspect the Python we are writing and running. Lets move on for now. == Part 1 - Lab Check lab1a == <pre>cd ~/ops435/lab1/pwd #confirm that you are in the right directoryls CheckLab1.py || wget matrix.senecacollege.ca/~acoatley-willis/CheckLab1.pypython3 ./CheckLab1.py -f -v lab1a</pre> Before moving on to the next step make sure you identify any and all errors in "Call it lab1a.py". When the check script tells you everything is "ok", you may procede to the next step.  = Investigation 3 - Writing a The first Python Script = During this investigation we will start writing our very first python scripts. These will be very basic and help us practice syntax and foundational skills, such as: outputing text to the screen, storing data inside variables, and using math operators. == Part 1 - Printing == Lets start IPython interpreter and start writing some python code. <pre>ipython3%cd ~/ops435/lab1%pwd%ls</pre> Our first python code we will write is going to call the print function. A function is code that has been defined in another location. Functions can take arguments, use these arguments in some way, and then usually return a result. The first function we will use is the "print()" functions, it's sole purpose is to output information to the screen.<br><br> :#Add the following line into your source code file:<presource>

</presource>And run it from the command-line: <source>python3 ./lab1a.py</source> You will notice that nothing happened when is printed even though we ran this called the "print()" function. This is because we didn't pass any arguments to it, lets try again.<br><br> :# Modify your call to print() to inlcude an argument ('hello world'):<br><presource>

</presource> This time we should now see that the python function "print()" has outputted to the screen the words 'hello world'. In python a word or a bunch of characters like 'hello world' is called a 'string'. So what we did In the above isexample, passed a '''string''' was passed as a '''argument''' to the print '''function'''. These words are important for understanding and talking about different aspects of code.<br><br>  == Part 2 - Hello World == Next, we will make our first script with :# Note that there are similarities between the above Python print() function. Open and the Bash echo command, but Python is more picky than bash (which is a new text file called "lab1agood thing).py"Try to run print without the brackets or without the quotes to see what happens. <preblockquote style="margin-left:35px;">%vim ~{{Admon/ops435/lab1/lab1atip|Reading errors|One of the things that makes a good programmer is debugging skills.
