Welcome to AI Programming with Python

Start using AI techniques and developing skills related to programming, linear algebra, and neural networks.

Why Python Programming

Start coding with Python, drawing upon libraries and automation scripts to solve complex problems quickly.

Lab Classifying Images

In this project, learners will be testing their newly-acquired Python coding skills by using a trained image classifier. They will need to use the trained neural network to classify images of dogs (by breeds) and compare the output with the known dog breed classification. Learners will have a chance to build their own functions, use command line arguments, test the runtime of the code, create a dictionary of lists, and more.

NumPy

Learn how to use all the key tools for working with data in Python: Jupyter Notebooks, NumPy, Anaconda, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

05. Variables and Assignment Operators

Variables and Assignment Operators

From this page, you will get your first look at variables in Python. There are three videos in this concept to show you some different cases you might run into!


Variables I

Variables are used all the time in Python! Below is the example you saw in the video where we performed the following:

mv_population = 74728

Here mv_population is a variable, which holds the value of 74728. This assigns the item on the right to the name on the left, which is actually a little different than mathematical equality, as 74728 does not hold the value of mv_population.

In any case, whatever term is on the left side, is now a name for whatever value is on the right side. Once a value has been assigned to a variable name, you can access the value from the variable name.
