Draft of changes to use more text #29

Closed sstevens2 closed 3 years ago

sstevens2 commented 3 years ago

work in progress. I still need to work on the exercises.

sstevens2 commented 3 years ago

Removed a lot of the number based exercises. Also removed much about floats in the main text. You learn about floats are part of the first exercise. Let me know if you think we should mention them earlier?

This looks good, Sarah. I agree that this makes the lesson much more streamlined for folks interested primarily in text analysis. I noted that floating point numbers still come up in line 252 and 253 (I think I'm getting the line numbers right). It may be that we want to keep them as a comparison with the other options described at that point of the lesson, but just noting in case they should be deleted there.

Thanks for reviewing @annhanlon! I did leave a little bit of reference to floats in the lesson because it can be a useful type for decimal numbers. I cut out the stuff that was longer but did leave a little bit about floats in the exercises for that reason.
