- Page 49: Bullet point no. 7 must be read as "Initialize the for loop from offer to highest:
while offer <= highest:" - Page 76: The output for aretha should be ('aretha', 75)
- Page 478: Bullet point no. 1 must read "Head to the notebook file that you used for exercises 148-153 and run all the cells in the notebook so that all the variables are stored." instead of "Head to the notebook file that you used for exercises 147-151 and run all the cells in the notebook so that all the variables are stored."
- Page 525: Figure caption for Figure 12.37 must be read as "An output for Activity 27 with 91% accuracy" instead of "Figure 12.37 – An output for Activity 26 with 91% accuracy"
All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
s1 = set([1,2,3,4,5,6])
print(s1)
s2 = {1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,6}
print(s2)
s3 = {3,4,5,6,6,6,1,1,2}
print(s3)
Following is what you need for this book: This book is for professionals, students, and hobbyists who want to learn Python and apply it to solve challenging real-world problems. Although this is a beginner’s course, you’ll learn more easily if you already have an understanding of standard programming topics like variables, if-else statements, and functions. Experience with another object-oriented program, though not essential, will also be beneficial. If Python is your first attempt at computer programming, this book will help you understand the basics with adequate detail for a motivated student.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-13).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |
|---|---|---|
| 1-13 | Python 3.11 | Windows, macOS, or Linux |
| 1-13 | Jupyter notebook | Windows, macOS, or Linux |

Graham Lee is an experienced programmer and writer. He has written several books, including Professional Cocoa Application Security, Test-Driven iOS Development, APPropriate Behaviour, and APPosite Concerns. He is a developer who's been programming for long enough to want to start telling other people about the mistakes he's made in the hope that they'll avoid repeating them. In his case, this means having worked for about 12 years as a professional. His first programming experience can hardly be called professional at all, as it was in BASIC on a Dragon 32 microcomputer.
