sorting lists
=============

>>> names = ["Eliza", "Joe", "Henry", "Harriet", "Wanda", "Pat"]
>>> names.sort()
>>> names
['Eliza', 'Harriet', 'Henry', 'Joe', 'Pat', 'Wanda']

max/min
=======

>>> l = [0, 3, 10, -1]
>>> max(l)
10
>>> min(l)
-1


for loops
=========

>>> my_pets = ["cat", "camel", "penguin", "platypus"]
>>> for pet in my_pets:
...     print pet, len(pet)
... 
cat 3
camel 5
penguin 7
platypus 8

range
=====

>>> range(5)
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> range(1)
[0]
>>> numbers = range(5)
>>> for number in numbers:
...     print number * number
... 
0
1
4
9
16
>>> for number in range(5):
...     print number * number
... 
0
1
4
9
16
>>> range(5, 2)
[]
>>> range(10, 100, 10)
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]
>>> range(10, 100)
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99]
>>> range(10, 100, 10)
[10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]


for loops with if/else
======================
You can iterate over strings
============================

>>> my_string = "Hi, my name is Jessica"
>>> no_vowels = ""
>>> for character in my_string:
...     if character not in "aeiouAEIOU":
...         no_vowels = no_vowels + character
... 
>>> print no_vowels

nested for loops
================

>>> for i in range(1, 10):
...     for j in range(1, 10):
...         print i * j,
...     print ""
... 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 
2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 
4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 
6 12 18 24 30 36 42 48 54 
7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56 63 
8 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 
9 18 27 36 45 54 63 72 81 


>>> for i in range(5):
...     for letter in "Jessica":
...         print letter * i,
...     print ""
... 
       
J e s s i c a 
JJ ee ss ss ii cc aa 
JJJ eee sss sss iii ccc aaa 
JJJJ eeee ssss ssss iiii cccc aaaa 
>>> for letter in "Jessica":
...     for i in range(5):
...         print letter * i,
...     print ""
... 
 J JJ JJJ JJJJ 
 e ee eee eeee 
 s ss sss ssss 
 s ss sss ssss 
 i ii iii iiii 
 c cc ccc cccc 
 a aa aaa aaaa 

while loops
===========

>>> while True:
...     print "Hello", i
...     i = i + 1


Fibonacci
=========

>>> a = 0
>>> b = 1
>>> while b < 100:
...     print b
...     temp = a
...     a = b
...     b = b + temp

>>> def fibonacci(max_num):
...     a = 0
...     b = 1
...     while b < max_num:
...         print b
...         temp = a
...         a = b
...         b = b + temp

break
=====

>>> while True:
...     input = raw_input("Please type something! ")
...     print "You said: ", input
... 
Please type something! Hi
You said:  Hi
Please type something! Hello
You said:  Hello
Please type something! whooooo
You said:  whooooo
Please type something! Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
KeyboardInterrupt
>>> while True:
...     input = raw_input("Please type something! ")
...     if input == "Quit":
...         break
...     else:
...         print "You said: ", input
