More on strings and data in general

IDLE 1.2.1 #That's my Windows Python GUI
>>> x = 'hello'
>>> y = 'll'
>>> x in y
False
>>> y in x
True

Methods

>>> 'bob' .upper()
'BOB'

Monty Python attacks for the first time - strings

#!/usr/bin/python

print 'Spam' + 'Eggs'
print "Ni!" * 10

Both single and double quotes accepted.

Simple math

#! /usr/bin/python
# kg 2 stone converter

print "Mass in kilos?"
mass_kg = int(raw_input())
mass_stone = mass_kg * 2.2 / 14
print "Mass in stones is" + str(mass_stone) + " stone."
