Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "However, when the print() function is called in line 11, the text is printed as it was originally entered."

A block of code is set as follows:

tank1 = tank.Tank(           "Tank 1",            level=36.0,            fluid_density=DENSITY,            spec_gravity=SPEC_GRAVITY,            outlet_diam=16,            outlet_slope=0.25    )

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

import sys 
  if len(sys.argv) > 1:  # Check if arguments are provided 
      entered_value = sys.argv[1:] ...
