GIS Programming, Lab 3: Python Fundamentals, Part 1

This week we learned more about the Python language, different functions and different methods that it has to offer.  I learned ways to make writing scripts more accurate and how let Python help you along.  We went more into depth with strings, variables, statements & expressions.



For this weeks lab, we had to write our own script that would eventually result in a number that is triple the length of our last names.  We initially started with our full name.  After writing/running MY script, I came up with 21.  Johnson = 7 letters. 7 x 3 = 21.  Success! The above image is simply the result of running my script in PythonWin.
