Lolz, your one liner looks better. I think it will be faster too. Map takes in a function as its first arg and an iterable (list, set) as second arg. It then passes each element in the iterable to the function.

def add_five(X):
return x + 5

[map(add_five, [1,2,3,4,5])] //[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Write a Python function that prints out the first n rows of Pascal's triangle.
for example if n=5 the output must be:
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
where n is a parameter of the function

The church & the pastor destroyed ur family by completely brainwashing ur mother into a zombie. Ur mother is actually suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. With proper medication she will get back her senses with time. I feel ur pain my dear. May God be with ur family .

Well as an African I believe it's disrespectful and rude to diss or called out my mom for her unhealthy attitudes but I think its high time I make it public so people who has witnessed or experience such can give to me a valuable advice.

My mom was once a successful hair dresser and she was the breadwinner of our family until she became born again, she abruptly stopped plating hair for her customers based on what she tagged "unbiblical" She basically affirmed that she'll never touch attachments and synthetic hair again in her life and ever since then things hasn't been going smoothly again.

My Dad now has got a Rick Ross fatlike woman as a second wife and I think the whole situations has taken its toll on my mom's mental health, she's literally cut herself off from the outside world and everything always mean something extra terrestrial to her.

My Mom would see a gecko on the wall and believe it was sent from hell to drag her to the underground, We always packed from one apartment to the other thanks to her intolerance toward other people. Omg! She'll always find faults with her co tenants, everybody is either a witch or a spy from the underworld.

There's one thing she did that convinced me she's struggling from mental instability, we packed out from one house to a flat like apartment, do u believe my mom went back there and packed the huge rocks we used to make fire? She tagged them as her property which can never be left behind, she'll play with u today only to become unresponsive when u greet her tomorrow, she stopped her work almost 20 years ago and ever since then has become a liability on my dad and a burden on us the children, it disgusts me to feed her with my hard earned money when she's hale and healthy, she's the reason my dad was unable to send me to the university because the burden is too much on him.

What I find ridiculous about her is her mindset, her mind was wired to believe we owed her a living when in reality it's the opposite, when my dad is unable to send money she'll become so tensed and angry, its so annoying how she find it difficult to realize she is the PROBLEM of the family.

Pls I need good advice on what kind of help we the children can seek on her behalf cos its obvious she needs help. Thanks all.

Nigeria problem is more than english speaking... my question is what has been his contribution to Nigeria?

I may not have been there but it would be wilful ignorance to pretend what this girl did isn't a product of indoctrination

I have pointed out many times, the vast majority of believers follow their faith simply because of where they were born and raised (indoctrinated). A look at any world religions demographic map makes that obvious. If most of the people who had a positive influence over a child's life were of a certain religion, that child would want to emulate them, and maybe would be convinced that their religion is part of the reason they appeal to him/her and were a positive influence in their life. I use the word "Positive" loosely

Generally, your system of beliefs are directly related to where and when you live. There is a reason why nearly everyone in N. Korea believe Kim Jong Un is a god and why nearly everyone in Iran is Muslim. And there is a reason why most people in India are Hindu, most people in Tibet are Buddhits, and why the most predominant religion in the USA is Christianity. It's because of religious indoctrination and brain washing processes associated with it. The indoctrination process for most religions is designed to suppress reason and the questioning of religious doctrine. There are of course always some exceptions, but for most people, religious indoctrination is difficult to overcome.

That I'm an atheist doesn't mean I watch porn or smoke weed. Yes! I told my daughter morality is subjective and that's the truth!!

Yes! everyone born in this world won a game of chance as millions of sperms didn't swim fast enough or weren't strong enough or were too unlucky to fertilize the egg. Even when the egg and sperm fused the lottery isn't still won yet as millions are aborted yearly either by intention from the mother or indirect intention of the mother or through nature via miscarriages. also there's stillbirth amongst other factors. So yes, everyone born into this world won a huge lottery they weren't aware they were playing.

efficiencie:
Write a function that converts a string containing an ordered sequence of positive whole numbers and number ranges to an ordered list of those numbers, that it returns.

Number are separated with commas (and optional spaces) and number ranges are marked with a - between two whole numbers (with optional spaces either side).

For bonus points and handle out of order sequences and reverse ranges. Return an ordered list of unique numbers.

State your assumptions (so interpret the challenge your way).

For example,

‘1-5, 7, 9, 10-13’ should convert to [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]

You guys started something as great as this and vanished ... Wia una dey make una show o. I am a newbie to Python programming and I think posting and solving beginner python programming exercises would not only go a long way in keeping this thread alive but will spur the growth in the skills of new python programmers...Problem solving will keep this thread alive.

I saw this problem on a python programming facebook group (tis for newbies anyway):

Construct a python program that returns the number of occurrences of a substring in a string if the string does not end with the substring or returns one less of the number of occurrences of a substring in a string if the string does end with the substring.

For example, the solution must return 2 in the string 'adedasaasfdfdfsds' if the substring is 'fd' or the solution must return 4 if the string is 'adddddffggdd' and the substring is 'dd'. Note that in the last example 'dd' occurs 5 times in the string as it appears 4 times in 'ddddd' and once in 'dd' but this last count is disregarded since the specified string ends with 'dd'.

You are only permitted to use: LOOPS, CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS, BREAK, CONTINUE, USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS OR GENERATORS.

Ugosample:
Inflation dropping is not the same as deflation

The Consumer Price Index falling does not mean that there is a deflationary pressure in the economy


Now I see

many pro Buhari elements are simply unimformef, or will i say misinformed

Deflation by black atse

olujastro:
I was hoping someone would reply you but no one did.
At the first bolded, yet no one can answer the question, why was our foreign reserve reducing instead of going up when oil prices were rocket high at over $100 under Jonathan, the looter-in-chief?
At the second bolded, you are equally being ignorant if not worse. It's called foreign reserves not local reserves, which means it's denominated in foreign currency (mainly USD) and not naira. Meaning the amount in the reserve has nothing to do with the prevailing exchange rate. Even if exchange rates go up, people adjust to the new rate and pass on the difference to the consumers which leads to inflation. People don't stop importing except the government doesn't give out fx anymore.
Like I said, your ignorance is far worse than the average Nigerian. Venezuela is down to its last $10b of foreign reserve and as a result its currency is almost useless with concurrent hyperinflation. Before 2014, $1 = 10 vef. Now $1 = 205,000 vef.
Foreign investors do not bring foreign currency into a country that has low reserves because of fear that they can't repatriate their money when they want to.

PS: Nigeria would have been heading to a refuse dump of economic crisis like venezuela if Jonathan had continued beyond 2015 as he added nothing to us but looted virtually everything in sight. Those who know know. Buhari's emergence put a major halt against our then impending economic crisis that all economists (including Okonjo, Sanusi and Soludo) had been warning us about if oil prices crash.

seguno2:
For how long shall we remain import dependent? 56 years of independence and counting.
What economic policies has Buhari and APC implemented to reduce our import dependence

AZeD1:
Nigeria runs an artificial market and an import depended economy.
I have been fortunate to live in 2 developed countries and its only Nigeria foreign reserves is news to the common.

If Nigeria as a country increased its non oil exports, Foreign reserves would have nothing to do with the stability of the Naira.

The only reason why its matters in Nigeria is because the government spends money defending Naira.

Kingspin:
Good for nothing reserve. What purpose does it serve the people? Empty leaders everywhere.

AZeD1:
Stop misinforming people.
Foreign reserves is basically the money government has to pay for imports(liabilities). Has nothing to do with stability of a currency.
