==Interactive Python==

According to [[wikibooks:Python_Programming/Interactive_mode|wikipedia]], "Interactive mode is a command line shell which gives immediate feedback for each statement, while running previously fed statements in active memory. As new lines are fed into the interpreter, the fed program is evaluated both in part and in whole". Essentially what this means is Interactive Python is good for quick testing and debugging in the command line. Enter it simply by typing "python" and then hit enter.

==Variables==

Now that we understand the basic workflow of python (create code in text editor → execute in command prompt), we can start discussing the different functions and capabilities of Python. We can start this discussion with variables. You can think of variables as the objects that store information for our program. A variable has two basic parts; '''A name''' (which we will use to refer to the variable) and '''A value''' (the info we care about). Besides those two parts, variables can hold different types of information.
