Using JupyterLab & Python Programming 2: Glossary

JupyterLab can be used as a Python programming environment

You can create notebooks with codes, figures, links, text, and equations

You can run your codes in JupyterLab cell by cell

Use for variable in sequence to process the elements of a sequence one at a time.

The body of a for loop must be indented.

Use len(thing) to determine the length of something that contains other values.

[value1, value2, value3, ...] creates a list.

Lists can contain any Python object, including lists (i.e., list of lists).

Lists are indexed and sliced with square brackets (e.g., list[0] and list[2:9]), in the same way as strings and arrays.

Lists are mutable (i.e., their values can be changed in place).

Strings are immutable (i.e., the characters in them cannot be changed).
