Day 2 of #30daysofML from Kaggle

 Below is the learning for today as part of the #30daysofML challenge

• Variable assignment
• Print function
• #commenting the code in Python
• Variable reassignment
• Writing conditional statements using if

The colon (:) at the end of the if line indicates that a new code block is starting

The * operator can be used to multiply two numbers (3 * 3 evaluates to 9), but we can also multiply a string by a number, to get a version that's been repeated that many times. Python offers a number of cheeky little time-saving tricks like this where operators like * and + have a different meaning depending on what kind of thing they're applied to. 

What is type function used for ?

type(spam_amount)

The // operator gives us a result that's rounded down to the next integer.

print(float(10))

print(int(3.33))

# They can even be called on strings!

print(int('807') + 1)
