doziej84: pls someone should use python language to write a working code for this.
i'm currently learning python & finding this difficult. thanks

What is the sum of the even numbers from 524 through 10508, inclusive? Hint: write a while loop to accumulate the sum and print it.
For maximum learning, do it with a for loop as well, using range.

DharkPoet:

this should suffice, I didn't run this on a PC, to know if it would actually be correct, but I think it should, besides it's written in java, just understand how it works, then use it with your python syntax.

public class addNum{
public static VOID main (String args [] ){
int counter = 0 ;
int i;
for (i=540 ; i<=10508; i++){
if(i%2==0){
System.out.println() ;
counter+=i ;
}
}
System.out.println(counter) ;

}
}
}

Good. It is a gradual process though. Python is easy and clean programming language. There are thousands of models out there for you to use and modify if you are finding things to create on your own too difficult. Defining and calling objects is one of the easiest parts of Python, as it is object oriented language. Function is an expression in the Python definitive point of view. That is not actually something difficult to struggle with. If you have any problem with anything at all just post it here and somebody will help you out. I can as well be of help.

Thank you.

Ajibel: Keep on wondering what someone else has used python to do... E ma kpe nbe
If you dunno what to create with python, dump it for java or php

i think you must use HTML and maybe CSS, then you can apply your python to that

Yap...ayav a problem which I posted in the previous page buh no one answered it. So i just abandoned it.....until now
=============================================================================================
Please all the python chairmen in the hauz, I need u help o!
I am currently reading C.H Swaroop's 'Byte of Python' and I am having problems with the part where we have to create a backup script.
We were instructed to back up a list of files (here we created a list that contained the directories of those files) to another directory (in this case, those different files will be backed up in another directory and then zipped up).
Now we downloaded something like a zip command that adds the backed up files to a .zip archive. My problem here now is that, after following every instruction to the letter, I still get an error saying 'the filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect'.
Is there a simpler way of creating this script without any complexities or downloading any software

marlockj: hi

dokunbam: i started with JAVA somedays ago and i think am getting well on it
But the problem i have now is that some of the code written on the material are somehow different wen i work on java IDE
