A research rule must be clear enough for a program to execute. This topic turns a small signal and price dataset into reproducible calculations. Learn syntax and control flow first, then functions, collections and file handling. Each lesson adds one part of the calculation rather than assuming prior programming experience.
By the end of this note you should be able to:
- translate a short financial rule into Python statements and control flow;
- package a calculation as a function with a clear contract;
- choose a list, tuple, dictionary or set for a small data task;
- read a text file and handle a predictable failure without hiding unexpected bugs.
