Conclusion

We've finished the first chapter!

In Intro to Code, you learned about:

  • the origin of computers and how code came to be, as well as how languages look like today
  • the basic building blocks of code and Python: binary, variables, if statements, loops, operators, keywords, and functions
  • basic data structures: strings, integers, booleans, lists, dictionaries

We also did a few practice problems together to reinforce your understanding of these concepts, and talked about debugging as well as some common beginner questions.

Pat yourself on the back! You've learned a lot. In the next chapter, we'll talk a bit about how developers edit code and work on a project together using the principles from this chapter. Take a break, touch grass, and then click the right arrow at the bottom of the page to move on.
