00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:01,210
Welcome back.

2
00:00:01,780 --> 00:00:08,590
We learned about our basic python data types, we also learned a little bit about some of the terms

3
00:00:08,590 --> 00:00:11,690
that we might use when talking about code.

4
00:00:12,340 --> 00:00:18,610
We learned a few best practices, but most importantly, we learned how to perform actions on these

5
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:19,250
data types.

6
00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:28,540
We saw that there's built in functions that we can run on any data type, such as the print function.

7
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:34,020
But we also learned that most of these data types have their own methods.

8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,240
That is that dot some sort of a name and then the brackets to perform some actions on them.

9
00:00:40,690 --> 00:00:48,010
Now we're still scratching the surface here, but we now go into an area that gets really, really exciting

10
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,970
because up until now, what we've been doing is this.

11
00:00:52,390 --> 00:01:01,410
Every time we write code, we do something here and then we go to the second line and do something else

12
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:07,060
and then finally go to the third line and do something else and so on and so forth.

13
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:16,570
Our Python interpreter just went line by line one all the way to whatever line number we have on our

14
00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:20,020
dot pi file and just ran the code.

15
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,220
And it ran in really fast because machines are good at that, they run code really fast, but we haven't

16
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:33,010
discovered the true power of programming and specifically programming for machines.

17
00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:41,840
You see, the power comes when we start to incorporate the idea of maybe running multiple lines over

18
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,590
and over or maybe skipping a line and going from line one to line three.

19
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,960
And in this section, we're going to talk about the idea of conditions and conditional logic.

20
00:01:53,350 --> 00:02:00,970
We're going to talk about looping and loops where we can perform actions hundreds, thousands, millions

21
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:05,830
of times over and over, something that machines are really, really good at.

22
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:13,750
And that's when programming becomes really powerful because machines can do certain tasks a lot better

23
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:15,330
and a lot faster than humans.

24
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:23,740
So we're now going to break into a new world where instead of going from one to three everything in

25
00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:29,650
order, we're going to start to break some of that apart so that we have more control over our programs

26
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,430
than just going line by line.

27
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,570
Let's find out how to do that in the next video.
