Exercise 5
Write a Python program that accepts a string and a character from the user. The program checks the number of times(frequency) the character appeared in the string. E.g. If the user enters "Michael Faraday" as the string and enters 'a' as the character, the program should display:

There are 4 a in Michael Faraday!

def count_char(string, char):
return "There are "+ str(string.lower().count(char)) + " "+ str(char) + " in " + string



print(count_char(string="Michael Faraday", char='a'))

Baba, it was your conscience at work and not because of any God.

You have a good heart, or may be you felt it wasn't worth it. Or maybe you've not seen a good opportunity to steal big money. You won't realize how easily humans drop their principles when given a lucrative option. Every human has a price.

Speak for yourself man.
He has told you his own, don't impose your opinion on him or others.

If you believe in God, fine and good for you, and if you don't, fine and good for you too.

I want to commend what you are Doing here, it will really go a long way in helping python programmers that look down on this little excersis.
Why Nigeria programmers don't get good jobs is because the over look all this small excersis ,there is a lot of Nigeri professional programmers who cannot write a simple syntax that will evaluate the root of a quadratic equation.

I am afraid you are not correct.
Coding is not about syntax but thinking and problem solving.

If you write a program to solve a quadratic equation and it fails, you simply debug it and try again, that's testing, you must not be correct in one go.

And Nigerians have good coders fyi

Taofeekdboy:
Yes. I agree with you.
Mostly forms are inheriting from ModelForm unless you are using a form that does nothing with your model or you just want to simplify things, rather than using forms and later incorporate it to your Model. It might be time consuming tho.

The part in Django that I am still struggling with is user registration, login and logout.

I have noticed most things are based on oop (classes) and inheritance.

Taofeekdboy:
Bro, we are in the same boat, I love writing my views in functions because I will be able to express myself without initiating anything.

All my Django projects was written in function based views, unless I am using DRF, then I write in class based views.
Function based views has been my savior.

Nice!
So it's not only me.
With function based views, I can be in total control and be flexible.

For forms, I prefer using ModelForm if possible.

Taofeekdboy:
I created this thread for Django aspirants, intermediate and experienced Django developers to share knowledge and projects that you have or been working on.

I have worked and been working on a lot of projects such as sport app, loan calculator, and employee management.
The one I just finished is just a social media clone project and it took a bit of my time.

The website is down below:
http://mysocialapp.pythonanywhere.com
If you are interested, you can Check and leave your comments as well.

So let's share ideas and knowledge.....

Talking about Django, I have started using it.
I don't just know why, but I prefer using function based views. What's your preference guys

Barney001:
Hi guys,
So I just started learning python ,although I learnt php in the past. But I would like to know which one is better for web development .

I don't know much about php(Laravel) because I am a Python programmer.

I would say learn Django, it has a steep learning curve though but once you get the hang of it, you would keep loving it.

Another Python web framework is Flask, it's a micro framework that's easier to learn.

import datetime

date_and_time = datetime.datetime.now()
today_date =(str(date_and_time))
today_date_slice = ( today_date[:10] )
formated_date = today_date_slice.replace( "-", "/"
)
year = ( formated_date[:4] )
month_and_date = ( formated_date[5:] )

mydate= month_and_date + "/" + year
print(mydate)

#04/24/2020

You don't need to slice.
year = datetime.datetime.now().year
month = datetime.datetime.now().month
day = datetime.datetime.now().day

Taofeekdboy:
I saw this late, I have been busy with my project and it took a lot of my time.
I will leave it here for who is interested to check..
It is a social media clone I made.

Looking forward to your comments

You used Django right?
It's really nice

jayphe:
you're making a mistake....

What is the mistake

site ="https://www......"

domain = site.split('//')[1].split("www.")[-1]

print(domain)

website = "www...."
domain = website.split("http://www.")[1].split('/')[0]
print(domain)

Chinese doctors that couldn't save the lives of their own citizens

rubbish

this government looking for every means possible to steal money

You don't know what you are saying.
China is doing well in the fight of corona virus.

Judging from the blood stain, we can deduce that the bullet most likely hit the deceased upper chest region. If the so called officer actually aimed at the tyres, it would be impossible for the bullet to hit his upper chest region.
The foolish officer simply shot at sight (from his eye level). The story from the letter was drafted by an slowpoke.
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.

We are not fools please. If you were even 10 meters to the area of explosion, we would not have even seen your body tissues.

Use your common sense oga driver.

fake news, Fulanis are our brothers and not enemies, the Igbos are are just trying to cause disunity among the Yorubas and Fulanis. The igbo people are our problems and not Fulanis,

Why did you choose to embrace ignorance and folly.

MrAnele:
Software Programmers are not web designers, they don't have any social life..

If you know you know..

Who told you that. You have a very wrong impression about software developers.

Oladelepsy001:
The disaster and instability you're projecting shall only be witnessed by only you and not by us.

Let's tell ourselves the truth. Both the economy and this present government is nothing to write home out. The unemployment rate has really increased.

Joromi12:
Lose how. What kind of mushroom reporting is this. Money was not spent on them. So how dem lose

The money lost is the money from the sale of the products the refineries would have produced if they were in operation during those months of being idle (opportunity cost).

JKisOK:
The way suicides have made it first choice, Sniper insecticide may just be attracting unhealthy attention from the authorities. Many Nigerians committing suicide have taken to gulping down the substance, with a highly fatal result.

Relatively new in the market, Sniper appears to have been formulated along the line of Otapiapia, which was also a local anti-pest solution. Otapiapia also in the 1980s and 1990s became a favourite suicide tool, especially in the South-East. Sniper seems to have taken over.

Should the government clamp down on Sniper, it may be shutting down a good business, resulting in job losses, investment trapping, with wide implications for those servicing and benefiting down the product's supply chain.

But this raises several questions.

Is there an iron-clad case to call for banning the production and sales of Sniper?

Does Sniper account for the majority of deaths and is Sniper the only way out for people bent on committing harakiri?

Should the manufacturers of Sniper be blamed for the abuse of their highly effective insecticide?

What will happen should Sniper be banned and depressed and desperate people embrace some other solutions?

Banning sniper is only treating the symptoms and not the major root cause, it would be like banning the whole media because that's the major medium for comparison of social status, appearance, relationship, career etc etc.

With an improved economy and standard of living the rate of suicide would for sure subside.

Teacher1776:
Who benefits from this policy? The consumers or the manufacturers of the cylinders?
What are the problems created by the existing practice?
And by the way who are the cylinders makers bid to benefit from this arrangement? We need to know them.

These are very smart questions you asked?
I won't be surprised if the government just wants to give some person or persons monopoly to manufacture cylinders for some selfish reasons.

To be honest, the federal government did not give cogent reasons for this new policy.

Why can't LPG be piped to the various consumers as it is done in many developed countries.

The federal government has just been making inefficient and sometimes nonsensical policies to bring more hardship for Nigerians.

patogist:
Few weeks ago, News were making head after Nigerian president, Muhammad Buhari review that Education doesn’t guarantee an automatic employment for a job, that you would have to learn some skills afterwards.

Nigerians have taken to twitter platform to review the difference between our own president Buhari and the US president over Donald Trump recent tweet on graduating students.

https://9jainfoupdates.com/nigerians-come-for-president-buhari-after-donald-trump-tweet-on-education/

Our dear president does not have a university degree or any tertiary education degree so he wouldn't know the worth of being a graduate, if he did, he should have known that learning is a continuous process and learning new skills before or after graduation is still part of learning/education.

EvilSec:
Passwords are useless! 2FA will stop you from logging in even if you have the account's password! Maybe if you stopped googling replies and read what he typed slowly you wouldn't be running round in circles rn.

Sorry I won't bother you again

EvilSec:
It's obvious you know nothing, now you're getting demanding and toxic cause I beat down someone who deserved it with underhanded intelligent strategy.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

EvilSec:
Cookie stealing is easier than bypassing 2FA?? Have you heard of EvilGinx and Modlishka? I doubt if you've ever even hacked at all. This conversation is going nowhere, I'm dropping it.

Have I heard of EvilGinx?..
Like EvilGinx just came out yesterday.

Please don't be so cocky, nobody knows it all.
You can leave thread if you so wish.

Cyberleets:
What is going on here lol

With phishing, you get hold of the password which you can ofcos use to login but then again, 2fa blocks everything

With dictionary attack, Facebook will automatically lock the account trmporary after 3 tries so it's useless

With my list of 600+ foreign Facebook account I got through phishing, I still couldn't pass the checkpoint. u have to explain why u are using another device to login by doing some crazy verification and all that!!

Lemme sound it again!!

You can't carry out dictionary on all login page and Facebook has put security in place in their own.

I know as of 2016, Gmail was vulnerable to it, but I don't know if its working now cos Hydra no longer works on it.

Plus dictionary attack only works on foreign account Becos many uses English word.

If u wanna target Nigerian account, your word list needs to contain names of typical traditional names cos most even use thier ancestors surname ....then again, phishing is the still the best

What I want to be seeing is how to bypass the fucking verification...thanks

Facebook has no max amount of login trials, you can verify, and pwned password wordlists are gotten from data breaches so it contains passwords from data breaches even if the passwords contain native names. For example there was a data breach on LinkedIn last year so LinkedIn passwords database was compromised. There have passwords from over 2000 data breaches and LinkedIn is among.

EvilSec:
Yeah! You would be more likely to crack a FB account after ages of failed attempts.

Oga if you write the code with a low level language like c and you have a system with a very high processor speed, you would be more likely to succeed. Cookie stealing is easier than bypassing 2FA.And I don't do illegal stuff for the records.

Try not to be myopic. If you download the password database from haveibeenpwned.com you would be more likely to crack a Facebook account using dictionary attack. Phishing would not work thanks to 2FA. And yes you can buy breached Facebook accounts passwords wordlist, but it is not open source.
