What you should know

- [Instructor] In order to get the most out of this course, it's recommended that you have some prior Python knowledge. You don't need to be an expert, but you do need to understand some of the basics. So for example, the ability to run a Python script, some familiarity of an IDE of your choice. In this course, we'll be using PyCharm, but you can certainly use whichever one you prefer. You need to know about variables. You need to know about input and output. Also, things like conditional statements, for loops, while loops, and particularly functions. So because a lot of the examples in this course are going to make use of functions, which call themselves, it's very important that you understand the basics of how a function works.
