If you get stuck with this exercise, remember the tricks you have been taught so far of finding differences and focusing on details:
1. Write a comment above each line explaining to yourself what it does in English.
2. Read your .py file backwards.
3. Read your .py file out loud saying even the characters.
Note: The _ is called an underscore character. Find out how to type it if you do not already know.
Extra Credit
- Explain why the 4.0 is used instead of just 4.
- Remember that 4.0 is a "floating point" number. Find out what that means.
- Write comments above each of the variable assignments.
- Make sure you know what = is called (equals) and that it's making names for things.
- Remember _ is an underscore character.
- Try running python as a calculator like you did before and use variable names to do your calculations. Popular variable names are also i, x, and j.
