Python Syntax

As mentioned before, python is a simple, very functional language with thons of built in library letting you to do stuff in a short amount of time. Here are few things about python syntax and functions (think of indentation as brackets):

If statement

if myBoolean == true:
    print "myBoolean is true."
else:
   print "myBoolean is false."

For loop

for i in range( 0 , 10 ):
   print "i = " + str( i )

While loop

i = 0
while i < 10:
   print "i = " + str( i )
   i = i + 1

String functions

myString = "testing123"
index = myString.find( "123" )
firstPart = myString[ :index ]
secondPart = myString[ index: ]

Python Reading Webpage

As I mentioned Python is an easy language, and you can do lots in the shortest amount of time. For example, lets say you want to read the content of a web page. If you wanted to do so in C/C++ or Java you had to go through bunch of Socket classes or more just to connect and read a web page. But here how you would do it in Python:

Open they Python editor or command line and type following:

import urllib2
resource = urllib2.urlopen("http://some url")
page = resource.read()
print page

As simple as that. In case you want to know the type of different objects just type variablename.__class__ and you'll get the type in the output window.

Cheers
