Python Programming

That's not Python.  That's Perl in Python.  Real Python is both clear and concise.

PS: I don't think it works.

Ok, I'll try it as soon as I can.

But bro seun
what about you post
This is java in python

NOW

THIS IS PERL IN PYTHON


you are getting me confused Will still 

Java is wordy.  Perl is difficult to understand. Python is expressive and straightforward.

I was just trying to help you man.

Python 2.6.2 released with python 3

hi jacob, compliments ofthe season.
i need the code for games.py
i was referred to it in a text i was reading and i have not been able to go beyond that point since.
seun, if you can help, i would be glad.
thanks.

Hello, ,
My name is Miss Mariama  Majzoub al-Khalifa.  i am a beautiful and romantic young girl i was impressed when i saw your profile in www.nairaland.com and will like to establish a long lasting relationship with you.

@E_EIPO
compliments to you too,and about the game.py stuff which text or book  are you reading cus there must be a link or url for your game.py code if true.
@mariamambaby
are you taking to me ,or him ,no no they or maybe them , who are you referring to
@seun
so long since have had from you.compliments of the season.

Hi Guys,

Sorry - I have been missing in action for a while now. What's popping?

Fine, i have never opened the code before, but i did lots of perl programming and also c too, i am going to start learning python, where do i get materials?

hey people.

jacob05, seun, alexis how are you all guys doing?

thanks for your every note posted here. i am getting better with python.

i got the following problems, trust me, i have attempted some and i dont just understand some. i would appreciate if you can help me solutions.

i read all this stuff on my own, please do your bit in my career. here are the problems:

Challenges
1.   Create a program that prints a list of words in random order. The program should print all the words and not repeat any.
2.   Write a Character Creator program for a role-playing game. The player should be given a pool of 30 points to spend on four attributes: Strength, Health, Wisdom, and Dexterity. The player should be able to spend points from the pool on any attribute and should also be able to take points from an attribute and put them back into the pool.
3.   Write a Who's Your Daddy? program that lets the user enter the name of a male and produces the name of his father. (You can use celebrities, fictional characters, or even historical figures for fun.) Allow the user to add, replace, and delete son-father pairs. The program should also allow the user to get a list of all sons, or fathers, or son-father pairs.
4.   Improve the Who's Your Daddy program by adding a choice that lets the user enter a name and get back a grandfather. Your program should still only use one dictionary of son-father pairs. Make sure to include several generations in your dictionary so that a match can be found.
5.   Create a game where the computer picks a random word and the player has to guess that word. The computer tells the player how many letters are in the word. Then the player gets five chances to ask if a letter is in the word. The computer can only respond with "yes" or "no". Then, the player must guess the word.

i currently use Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson. i have the e-copy, but there are some part of it that would require i have a CD that came with the book, if you have the cd or a copy of it, i would like to share with you please.

hope to read from you guys,thanks.

hey jac'

i tried working on the stuff again and came up with a solution for one of the questions. i left some comments in the code for you to examine as a part of it did not run as i have expected.

i have tried to attach it with this reply but i can't get it through cos of the .py extension, hope to hear from you soon. i would appreciate if i can get your mobile number, i can always send you a message if i have dropped any question for you. i hope it is ok with you.

here is the code:

#Write a Who's Your Daddy? program that lets the user enter the name of a male and
#produces the name of his father. (You can use celebrities, fictional characters,
#or even historical figures for fun.) Allow the user to add, replace,
#and delete son-father pairs. The program should also allow the user to get a list
#of all sons, or fathers, or son-father pairs.

#i still have problems with when choice == '2' and the name entered is not in WIYF

thanks

@ Seun

i am still waiting for your response Sir.
thanks

@ jacobs05

no probs. i would wait for you to come p with the solutions. i am also working on to see if i can come up with something correct.

thanks
