Python is a widely used dynamically typed programming language. It allows for many different programming paradigms including object-oriented, imperative, functional programming, and procedural styles.

To take the user input in Python you use a built-in method input(). The data type of the user input is string. Later based on the use case the data type of the user input can be changed to a different data type based on the requirement.

 Example:

1. 
```
>> a = input("Enter your birthday date ")
>> 31
>> a
>> '31' 
```

2. 
```
>> b = input("Enter List of numbers: ")
>> [1, 2, 3, 4]
>> b
>>  '[1, 2, 3, 4]'
```

NOTE: While creating the example Python interpreter is used which is why the program waits for the user to input. And, once the user enters the input then prompts the user to enter the next line of code.

Use the equality operator to compare the values of the objects. Identity operator is used to verifying that objects are equal but are not referring to the same object in memory. 

Use cases where identity operator is used are:
- to test if the object is None
- to test if the object is of a particular type or not

There may be use cases where the output returned by both the operators is the same. But, in your program, you have used the identity operator instead of the equality operator. 

To avoid such mistakes it is important to understand the difference between identity and equality operator.


Difference between Equality Operator and Identity Operator in Python

The identity operator is used for checking whether the object is of the mentioned type.

Example:

```
>> a = "Hello World!"
>> type(a) is str
>> True
```
The result returned in the above case is true because the type of object is str. 

Identity operator is also used to compare the object with None. 

Example:

```
>> a = None
>> a is None
>> print(a)
>> True
```

Internally, the identity operator compares the memory address of the objects. Built-in `id()` method returns a unique number i.e address of the object in memory. If the address of both the objects in memory is the same identity operator returns the result as True.

Example:

```
>> a = 10
>> b = 10
>> a is b
>> True
>> id(a)
>> 916744
>> id(b)
>> 916744
```

The above code snippet tells us that value of both the objects is the same and variables `a` and `b` are referring to the same object in memory. 



Identity Operator in Python

Variable names in Python can be of any length. Variables names can have alphabets [A-Z][a-z], digits [0-9] and underscores. A variable name starting with a digit is an invalid variable name. 

Variable Names in Python

Built-in id() method determines the memory address of the object in Python. Knowing this concept will help you in understanding what happens under the hood when you use identity operator (is and not is). 

Use Built-in id() Method to Determine the Memory Address of the Object

While solving real-life use cases through programming and also while testing your code you will come across scenarios where you have to compare the value of different objects. And, then to solve the problem you can use the equality operator.

What is a Streamdeck?

It's likely that you will have many streams where no one is there, or people are there and they aren't telling you they are. Does it matter?

What if nobody comes to watch my livestream?

While there are many useful tools and toys to pull together for a livestream, the truth is you don't need any of them to start.

What gear do I need to livestream?

We cover how to get your stream key, how to use that stream key to test bandwidth and CPU usage settings, and go live on Twitch for the first time.

Gemini 2.0 has a context window of a million tokens, and this means that you can upload hundreds of files and allow it to inspect and analyze massive refactors across entire code bases. 

This lesson demonstrates concatenating an entire code base into a single file and then uploading it to AI Studio. Once within AI Studio, we ask it to find the types of tasks that it can evaluate for us. Then we select one of the tasks and ask it to generate instructions for that task. Once those instructions are complete, we then turn them over to Windsurf's Cascade agent, and we allow Windsurf's Cascade to do all of the work for us as we sit back, relax, and let the AI do our jobs.

Windsurf and Cursor are both able to take an image and then use an agent to build out what it sees in that image. This lesson is going to compare Windsurf and Cursor by uploading the same image to both and giving them the same prompt. Comparing not only the results, but also the steps that they take to get there. We'll also try uploading additional images throughout the process to see what they do as far as revising along the way and improving the site as they go along.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to implement smooth state transitions in your web applications using the browser's built-in View Transitions API. We'll create a simple example that demonstrates how to animate between different text states with just a few lines of code - no external libraries required. This powerful native API makes it easy to add professional-looking transitions to your user interface, enhancing the user experience with minimal effort.

Create Smooth UI Transitions with the Native View Transitions API

I've been using Cursor for a very long time and their "Agent" feature in Composer is fairly new, so I'm still getting used to it. But since Windsurf recently got onto the stage with their Cascade agent, they've slowly been gaining the mind share on the UX for coding agents. I decided to put them to the test by putting Windsurf and Cursor on the exact same screen side by side trying to accomplish the same task and to see which workflow I would prefer. I've been a diehard Cursor user for over a year now, so it's going to take a lot for me to switch to a different IDE. But I just have to say, even from this simple demo, Windsurf is looking pretty nice.

This lesson is just going to walk through creating a CLI using both tools to print out inspirational quotes and to explore how they approach the step-by-step of installing packages and running commands and setting up all the files we need to get this running.

Windsurf Cascade vs. Cursor Composer Agent Side-by-Side Comparison

I've been using Cursor as my primary editor for over a year now, but recently I've heard wonderful things about Windsurf AI Agent features. I decided to record myself building out something I've always wanted to make, but never made the time for.

In this lesson, I demonstrate how to leverage Windsurf's powerful agent process to create a fun word-guessing game inspired by Heads Up. Watch as I build an interactive application featuring category selection and word navigation, complete with data hosting on GitHub Gists and deployment to GitHub Pages - all in under 30 minutes (before editing the lesson down to 12 minutes)!

What makes this project particularly exciting is how Windsurf eliminates the typical friction points of development. While this game was always on my project wishlist, the overhead of setup, configuration, and deployment made it hard to justify the time investment. Windsurf's agent process handles all these pain points seamlessly, from managing URLs to orchestrating deployment.

This lesson perfectly showcases how AI agents can help developers bring their backlog of project ideas to life, transforming what would typically be time-consuming tasks into efficient, enjoyable development experiences.
