Hey there, coding explorers!
Ready for an awesome Python adventure? Let's dive into a world of fun with code, where we can make computers do amazing things! ✨
First up, let's learn how to add numbers and words together by creating a simple module! 🪄
Imagine we have a super-special treasure chest called 'my_module.py'. Inside, we'll store a function ✨ called 'add' that can add anything!
Here's how it looks:
def add(a, b): # This line says: "Hey, here's a function named 'add' that takes two things!"
return a + b # This line says: "Take those two things and add them together!"
For example, if you use Jupyter Notebook, create a new plain text file. Write the code in it and save this module in your directory.
To use our funny 'add' function, we'll open the treasure chest like this:
import my_module # This line says: "Hey, let's bring in the 'my_module' treasure chest!"
from my_module import add # This line says: "And let's take out the 'add' function from the chest!"
Now, let's test it out!
- Adding numbers:
add(2023, 2024) # This line says: "Use the 'add' function to add 2023 and 2024!"
# Output: 4047
- Adding words:
add("Python", " is fun!") # This line says: "Add 'Python' and ' is fun!' together!"
# Output: Python is fun!
Wait, there's more! Let's make some animal sounds!
We'll use a special module called 'playsound' from 'playsound' library that we installed and another interesting function ✨ that we are creating called 'sound'!
Here's how it works:
from playsound import playsound # This line says: "Bring in the 'playsound' module!"
def sound(animal): # This line says: "Here's a function named 'sound' that takes the name of an animal!"
if animal == 'cat':
playsound('https://www.myinstants.com/media/sounds/meow_3.mp3')
elif animal == 'dog':
playsound('https://www.myinstants.com/media/sounds/dog-barking-sound-effect.mp3')
elif animal == 'cow':
playsound('https://www.myinstants.com/media/sounds/cow1.mp3')
elif animal == 'duck':
playsound('https://www.myinstants.com/media/sounds/duck.mp3')
else:
print("Sorry, I don't know that animal's sound!") # Oops!
Save these fun sounds in a 'module_sound.py' treasure chest! ✨
Now, let's hear some animals! Try 'cat', 'dog', 'duck', or 'cow'!
sound("cat")
sound("dog")
sound("duck")
sound("cow")
sound("lion") # Output: Sorry, I don't know that animal's sound!
️ Built-in module
Python comes with several built-in modules that we can import and use in our programs.
We can even ask the computer what kind of system it is!
import platform
print("Your platform system is:", platform.system()) # This line says: "Tell me what kind of computer you are!"
# Output: Your platform system is: Windows 🪟
Stay tuned for more exciting coding adventures!
