going good I asked because i am taking the udemy course "Complete Python Bootcamp: Go from zero to hero in Python 3" by "Jose Portilla" and in the course after finishing the python 3 he then put another folder in it for python 2 am just thinking wont it be a waste pf time taking the python 2 as well i think i guess right will just ignore the python 2 part of the course"
and as for the tutorial it is going very good how your side na ?

Grandlord:
I still dey work on projects my man.

The Jose Portilla course, does it have projects in it? I might want to look at it too. Did you pay for it?

Bossgem:
Hi guys! Can you please help me figure out how to print this hollow rectangle with for loops? I was able to do it with print () alone. But the instruction is to use for loop. I tried youtube but didn't get any good answers. Please help!

Maskyy:


With Python 3

def print_rectangle(n, m) :



for i in range(1, n+1 ) :

for j in range(1, m+1 ) :

if (i == 1 or i == n or

j == 1 or j == m ) :

print( "*", end="" )

else :

print( " ", end="" )



print()




# Driver program for above function

rows = 6

columns = 20
print_rectangle(rows, columns)

Bossgem:


Thank you! A friend of mine helped me figure it out yesterday. Thanks again.

for row in range(4):
shape = " "
for column in range(20):
shape += "*"
print(shape)

for row in range(1, 5):
shape = ""
for column in range(1, 21):
if row == 1 or row == 4 or column == 1 or column == 20:
shape += "*"
else:
shape += " "
print(shape)

output = " "
for items in range(5):
shape += "*"
print (shape)

I didn't see this earlier.


Number 10;

shape = " "
for column in range(20):
shape += "*"
print(shape)

Number 11;

shape = ""
for column in range(1, 21):
if row == 1 or row == 4 or column == 1 or column == 20:
shape += "*"

Number 12;

output = " "

print (shape)

You can wrap it all up, in a function definition like that my bro did above, so the user can input whatever values they want to. I didn't want to do that because maybe you've not learnt functions yet?


I'd like to see your friend's solutions so I could know if there's another way I could write shorter and cleaner solutions. We're all learning.

Also, where did you get the exercises from please?

iCode2:
Seems programmers na. Chai make I rush go read small.

Kubernetes:
An advice to anyone learning.
The easiest place to learn a Lang faster is to go to the language documentation site.You hear first hand information and explaination from the horses mouth (those you created the program).You get to know all the syntax,data structures,control statements, functions,OOP concepts etc from them.They even show you how to build some basic apps in that language.
e.g
Java doc site
Perl doc site
Python doc site
Infact after downloading the language,u will be directed to the learning documentation.

Bossgem:


Ok. Thank you. I will go over your code. The thing is the chapter I'm reading is on for loop, so I'm expected to use only my knowledge of for loop to solve the exercises. I'm using a book, practical introduction to python. I have attached a screenshot of the book—that's what I'm using to study.

Bossgem:


You're right about the documentation. One can actually download the entire documentation as a pdf file. I have the one for python for reference purposes

Pls share

Grandlord:
Thanks. I've checked it out and there are lots of practice exercises on there to work on.

def greet('hello world):
    return 'hello world'

print('hello world')
 

Bossgem:


Yes, that's why I like the book.

Grandlord:
Problem is, it doesn't have an answers section where you can check, if you get stuck on an exercise.

Do you know of any question and answer kind of book?

Bossgem:


Sent.

Bossgem:


Yes, it doesn't have answers. Kinda forces you to produce an answer or search for answers yourself. I don't have a book with exercises and answers.

Write a program that checks if a number is prime.

Thanks for your anticipated reply.

function shPrime(num) {

console.log(shPrime(3));

console.log(shPrime(3));

OutOfTheAshes:

What if num = 10^9(1000000000), will the code still run?

Maskyy:


it will check run correctively.

Bro which text editor is this please? VS code?
