As your programs get bigger, you'll find yourself repeating the same blocks of code.
A function that does the exact same thing every time is useful, but a function that can be customized each time you call it is even better.
So far, you may have used variables to store single values like a number or a string.
Python's lists are powerful, but their true flexibility comes from the built-in methods you can use to manipulate them.
It's completely normal to make mistakes when you're programming—everyone does!
What if you want your program to do different things based on different conditions?
Your code often needs to choose between more than just two options.
Imagine you need to perform the same task 100 times.
Are you just starting your journey with Python and wondering how to store information?
One of the most fundamental parts of programming is interacting with the user.
In Python, a sequence of characters is called a string.
Have you ever tried to print a mix of text and variable values and ended up with messy code?
Most of the digital security we rely on today is based on a simple but powerful mathematical idea: while it is easy to multiply two very large prime numbers together, it is practically impossible for a classical computer to reverse the process and find those original prime factors.
What if you wanted to scale up the problem from Deutsch's algorithm?
In this Quantum Computing: From Concepts to Code's chapter, we'll solve a new type of promise problem using a circuit that looks exactly like the one we used for the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm.
