Day 6 of learning data analytics 📊 Today: Started the Kaggle Python course 🐍 Fun fact: Python was named after Monty Python, the British comedy group — not the snake! Learned: → Python operators and order of operations (Python follows the PEMDAS rule) → Built-in functions for working with numbers → How to use parentheses to control how Python evaluates expressions Wrote my first Python script that splits candy evenly among 3 friends. Leftover candy gets smashed 😂 - A new badge added to my collection. #DataAnalytics #LearningInPublic
