I'll need this. thanks in advance

marsman:
Any body here that can put me through the While operatiin in Python i find it hard to comprehend

SirJerrie:
Finally...A python community on Nairaland!!!
Hello to the Ogas in the house and fellow python enthusiasts ...
So I started my python journey last 4 months with Automate The Boring Stuff With Python
then I moved to Zero to Hero with python by Jose portila...
I FEEL LIKE I'M NOT PROGRESSING
After 4 months of being on python I haven't atill gotten to the level I thought I'd be at...
I see people who say they learnt it under a month...at most 2 months. And rhey were able to write cool programs with it.
But I seem to get it write..like I'm stuck.



I'd like to know if theres something I'm not doing right?..
For those of you that are proficient with python, what was your journey like??
How long did it take you to get to where you currently are with python??

1stSonOfLucifer:


You mean while loop / use cases?

marsman:
Yes, while loop. a summary will be fine.

1stSonOfLucifer:


A loop is synonymous to iteration. Meaning the code should keep running for as long as the condition that initiated the block is TRUE.

I'm going to give you one/two use case(s) using python.

Say you want to find an item among list of items. Definitely within yourself, you know some conditions must met, if that condition is not met, you want the code to keep running. So to keep the code running, you implement a loop, which could be a while or for loop

Another use case is when you wanna check that a user input is never empty. And if it's empty, the input() should be called until its never None

marsman:

Can i get a an example,like an example that involves programing.I mean how i can use it . thanks.

1stSonOfLucifer:
@marsman

Incase you can contact me at masterscliq (at) Gmail dot com for better explanation

marsman:

Thank you, I will surely contact you if need be

Ever since I installed Pycharm, I have not been able to run any code on it. Python IDE works well; I have run codes on that. But pycharm, nothing. Something is always wrong. Sometimes it will say something like main module blah blah. I just tire. Anyone that can help put me through please.

JohnBullMySon:
Try pyscripter.

Oluwapresley:


Good Evening, boss. Thanks for getting back to me. Please, how do I go about it? The pyscripter is an IDE?

Missionaire:
Good morning all.
I have three questions.

1. Why can't we have a sub section for programming languages communities the like of Stack Overflow here on nairaland?
2. I just started learning programming with Python (with no prior knowledge of programming o) and I have been trying to swap variables.
I have done the following:

i . a = 7
b = 9
a, b = b, a
print ("a =", a)
print ("b =", b)

But what I get is:
NameError: name 'a' is not defined.

ii . v1 = "This is a boy"
v2 = "Is this a girl? "

temp = v1
v1 = v2
v2 = temp

print (v1)
print (v2)
...................
I still get error messages. What could I be doing wrong? I use jupyter notebook.

3. Is there any (newbie) python programmer resident in (Asokoro) Abuja, so we can connect and learn together?

I stay in abuja but I have no prior knowledge of python. am just starting my programming journey

Where in Abuja?

1stSonOfLucifer:
Welcome. Python is very easy to understand tho

loiusdthird:
karmo

Missionaire:


Me, AYA/Asokoro

seunny4lif:
Please how do you divide in Python to get an even number or odd number without using modulus

1stSonOfLucifer:

First you're violating the zen of python that states:
- SIMPLE IS BETTER THAN COMPLEX,
- EXPLICIT IS BETTER THAN IMPLICIT.


Anyways that aside, back to your question
I doubt it's possible to achieve ya task.

Maybe you don't understand, lemme break it down. What you're saying is more synonymous to getting SUM of two number without using "+"

seunny4lif:
I know but that's my school assessment
Our prof told us we should know it cos its the first question in our exam

def getRemainder(num, divisor): 
    return (num - divisor * (num // divisor))
