These are the simple Python programs used in class, plus a few others. If you read them and (much better) play with variations, it will help you to figure out what's going on in programming, and the two Python labs will be easier too.

These were originally written by Francisca Weirich-Freiberg '20 based on JavaScript models and subsequently fiddled by bwk, mostly to make better use of Python 3.
