Learning Python: #2 - Five Interesting Things

So, I'm going through the tutorial and have already found some things that I find interesting.

1. Division Operators
• 3/2 = 1.5
• 3//2 = 1 - division that produces an integer by discarding the remainder
2. The _ variable will have the last thing printed in the window assigned to it
3. A \ at the end of a line will let the string literal span multiple lines
4. Indexing of strings
• "someString"[2:7] prints 'meStr'
• "someString"[:3] prints 'som'
• "someString"[-3:] prints 'ing'
• "someString"[:-3] prints 'someStr'
5. The built in function len() applies to both strings and lists

Bonus:

• By default the print() function will end with a newline. You can specify a different ending with the keyword end
• Syntax: print(someVariable, end="|")
• The above used in a loop will create a pipe delimited list
