The Pippy interface

Description & Goals

Summary

Teaches Python programming by providing access to a fully interactive Python interpreter.?

The user can type simple expressions with some mathematical functions and execute the expression. This means that there is some overlap between Pippy and Calculate.

Math

Apples

Author: Madeleine Ball

print "Let's do math!"

print "On Monday I picked 22 apples. On Tuesday I picked 12."

print "Now I have: ", 22 + 12

print "My brother says he picked twice as many apples last week."

print "This means he picked: ", (22 + 12) * 2

print "I have 3 friends I would like to give apples."

print "One third of my apples is about: ", (22 + 12) / 3

print "Or, more exactly: ", (22.0 + 12.0) / 3.0
