Microsoft Reactor

For our first month in the Code Garden, Renee will be playing with Python basics. She'll talk you through everything you need to know to get started on your Python journey!

In Week 1 she'll be working with variables, strings and integers.
In week 2 she'll play making decisions in Python using if statements.
In week 3 she'll take on looping, and show you how to make your code repeat itself to get more done!

In this episode we'll cover how to make decisions (branching) in Python using if statements. We'll take a look at how you can use conditions in your programs to generate different outcomes based on what data the users enters.
