Summary

This chapter has given us a good foundation and introduction into Python programming. We covered the use of variables, lists, a couple of control structures, and learned how to use conditionals statement. The various kinds of objects were discussed, together with some materials on the object-oriented aspects of the Python language. We created our own objects and inherited from them.

There is still more that Python offers. As we prepare to examine the later chapters on some implementations of algorithms, the next chapter will focus on numbers, sequences, maps, and sets. These are also data types in Python that prove useful when organizing data for a series of operations.
