Hello George,
I found the book you're referring to via google (searching for: tony
gaddis starting out with python). The question is this:
3. Write assignment statements that perform the following operations
with the variables a,b and c.
a. Adds 2 to a and assigns the result to b
b. Multiplies b times 4 and assigns the result to a
c. Divides a by 3.14 and assigns the result to b
d. Subtracts 8 from and assigns the result to a
The typical way this list helps in homework assignments is
for the student to post his solution first, and then
let someone explain if/why something is wrong, and how to
go about the right solution.
I think you will have a lot of fun learning python.
It's very rewarding.
Best regards,
Stefaan.
