With the knowledge acquired using Python, students gain confidence in their skills and learn to recognize the logic behind developing high-quality programs.
Starting Out with Python discusses control structures, functions, arrays, and pointers before objects and classes. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, focused explanations, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter. Updates to the 4th Edition include revised, improved problems throughout, and new Turtle Graphics sections that provide flexibility as assignable, optional material.
Also Available with MyLab Programming. MyLab Programming consists of programming exercises correlated to the concepts and objectives in this book. Python, an easy-to-learn and increasingly popular object-oriented language, allows readers to become comfortable with the fundamentals of programming without the troublesome syntax that can be challenging for novices.

Also Available with MyLab Programming. MyLab Programming is an online learning system designed to engage students and improve results. This immediately shows the student how the program should function.
In the Spotlight sections provides a programming problem and a detailed, step by step analysis showing the student how to solve it. VideoNotes developed specifically for this book are available at www. Icons appear throughout the text alerting the student to videos about specific topics. Students can follow along with the author as he works through each tutorial in the videos.
Also, one programming project at the end of each chapter has an accompanying VideoNote that shows the student how to create the solution. Case studies that simulate real-world applications appear in many chapters throughout the text. These case studies are designed to highlight the major topics of the chapter in which they appear. These are followed by exercises requiring problem solving and analysis, such as the Algorithm Workbench, Predict the Output, and Find the Errors sections.
Each chapter offers a pool of programming exercises. In most cases the assignments present real-world problems to be solved. New to This Edition. The Turtle Graphics library, which is a standard part of Python, is a fun and motivating way to introduce programming concepts to students who have never written code before.
They can be assigned as optional material, incorporated into your existing syllabus, or skipped altogether. Chapter 2 has a new section on named constants. Although Python does not support true constants, you can create variable names that symbolize values that should not change as the program executes.
Chapter 7 has a new section on using the matplotlib package to plot charts and graphs from lists. The new section describes how to install the matplotlib package, and use it to plot line graphs, bar charts, and pie charts.
Chapter 13 has a new section on creating graphics in a GUI application with the Canvas widget. The new section describes how to use the Canvas widget to draw lines, rectangles, ovals, arcs, polygons, and text. Several new, more challenging, programming problems have been added throughout the book. Appendix E i s a new appendix that discusses the various forms of the import statement.
Appendix F is a new appendix that discusses installing third-party modules with the pip utility. Share a link to All Resources. Instructor Resources.
