INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON PROGRAMMING（Taiwan Edition/含Access Code 刮除不受退）

in context. Thanks to this media-rich presentation of content, students come to class better prepared and ready to develop problem-solving skills through programming fundamentals.
- VideoNotes are narrated step-by-step video tutorials that show how to solve problems completely, from design through coding (available on the companion website).
- Listings step students through the code line-by-line, showing and explaining what is happening in the program.
- Algorithm Animations show how an algorithm work visually and interactively (available on the companion website).
- Notes, Tips, and Key Points offer insight and valuable advice on important aspects of programming.

A fundamentals-first approach and clear framework foster understanding of key concepts
* Teaches programming in a problem-driven way that focuses on problem solving rather than syntax using a fundamentals-first and problem-driven strategy, moving students at a steady pace through all the necessary and important basic concepts and techniques on selections, loops, functions, before writing custom classes.
* Basic programming concepts are explained by examples from many different areas—math, science, business, finance, gaming, animation, and multimedia—and are supported by a variety of interactive learning activities to keep students engaged.
* Step-by-step presentation guides students in learning all essential subjects in Python incrementally from fundamental programming techniques to object-oriented programming, from simple functions to STL.

This new edition is completely revised in every detail to enhance clarity, presentation, content, examples, and exercises. The major improvements are as follows:

* Section 1.2 is updated to include cloud storage and touchscreens.
* Section 3.14 introduces the new Python 3.10 match-case statements to simplify coding for multiple cases.
* F-strings are covered in Chapter 4 to provide a concise syntax to format strings for output.
* Statistics functions are covered in Chapter 7 to enable students to write simple code for common statistics tasks.
* Sections 14.4, 14.6 are split into multiple subsections to improve the presentation of the contents.
* This edition provides many new examples and exercises to motivate and stimulate student interest in programming.
* Additional exercises not printed in the book are available to adopting instructors. 

This book is a customized version in Taiwan, and the content is extracted from Chapters 1 to 15 of the book "Introduction to Python Programming and Data Structures, Global Edition, 3rd edition".

For introductory courses in Python Programming.

A fundamentals first approach to programming helps students create efficient, elegant code.

Introduction to Python Programming and Data Structures introduces students to basic programming concepts using a fundamentals-first approach that prepares students to learn object-oriented programming and advanced Python programming. This approach presents programming concepts and techniques that include control statements, loops, functions, and arrays before designing custom classes. Students learn basic logic and programming concepts prior to moving into object-oriented and GUI programming. The content incorporates a wide variety of problems with various levels of difficulty and covers many application areas to engage and motivate students.
