Practical 1

Part 1 - Exploring Python

Before staring with the exercises, have a look at the python tutorial, here.

(a) Start a ScrumPy session, and make the following assignments: 

   1 >>> num_type_1 = 8
   2 >>> num_type_2 = 9.0
   3 >>> str_type = 'a'

What do you think the value and type of the following expressions are? 

num_type_1/2
num_type_1/2.0
num_type_2/3
5 + 2*10
str_type*4

Control your answers using Python. Any deviations from expected? Why?
