Last edition Elsevier Introduces Python programming with an emphasis on problem-solving. Now in its Third Edition, Practice of Computing Using Python continues to introduce both majors and non-majors taking CS1 courses to computational thinking using Python, with a strong emphasis on problem solving through computer science. The authors have chosen Python for its simplicity, powerful built-in data structures, advanced control constructs, and practicality. The text is built from the ground up for Python programming, rather than having been translated from Java or C++.

- • NEW! A switch to Anaconda distribution, made freely available from Continuum Analytics, includes more than 100 pre-installed modules, removing the need for package installation.
- • NEW! Fully adopted SPYDER Integrated Development Environment as a default method for editing and debugging code in the text. A truly modern IDE, Spyder has the advantages of including an integrated editor, associated interactive console, integrated debugging, integrated variable explorer, and integrated documentation viewer. Chapter 1 has been rewritten to incorporate the SPYDER IDE.
- • NEW! 80 new end-of-chapter exercises are included.
- • UPDATED! Chapter 16 provides discussion about Python Numbers and the various representations that are available.
- • REVISED! Chapter 5 has been rewritten to not depend on Chapter 4, allowing instructors to choose the order in which they introduce concepts of strings and functions.
