Post: RE: Newb question about %02d %04d

Well I got a couple of more questions for you guys. 1. Does the code below seem convoluted to yall? Particularly the part where they had me do str(row_count). What is the purpose of that? If you wer...

Post: RE: Open source... I'm not convinced

Just curious on this one, but why don't you like Linux? I'm new to it myself, so I haven't really decided whether I like it or not. I used to love windows, but I haven't liked it much since Windows 7,...

Post: Open source... I'm not convinced

I guess this question is centered around Linux. I am wanting to switch to Linux as my main operating system from windows. And just leave windows on some machine that's never on unless I'm playing a ga...

Post: RE: What is Minsky talking about here?

Maybe he's just thinking about how far down that path we'd be by now, if they'd stuck with languages that can write a bit of their own coded when needed. Maybe it would make automation a whole lot... ...

Post: RE: What is Minsky talking about here?

Yeah he was referring to a different language, and saying that C was "terrible" because it wouldn't sort of adapt and write its own code. At least that's what it sounds like to me. But then none of th...

Post: What is Minsky talking about here?

In the video I link below, Marvin Minsky talks about programs that could write some of their own code. The part I'm referring to starts at 23:53 in the video. For some reason I've always found that id...

Well its time for another newb question I guess: Why can't you just string += together as many times as you want? Or perhaps just say + as many times as you want? Instead of having to update the varia...

Post: RE: Programming with only a certificate?

Can you go into what was on that test? Maybe talk about how a person who was a decent programmer, could still fail it.

I saw that this forum says its for things that "don't fit into other categories" so I figured that this is the best place to post this. And this is related to coding. I would like to ask you guys abou...

    Thread: Newb question about %02d %04d
Post: RE: Newb question about %02d %04d

To read this thread you'd think it was a bad idea to learn python 2. As "They'll stop supporting it soon." That is what put me off of that idea.

Thanks both for the replies. Here is another part of the lesson that I don't really get. You can see that I had to put a parameter called 'number' into the function definition. But then later on, I ca...

But still, it would've had to have read the first print function before that, thus putting it in line to be printed first. It didn't know that we were going to call that function down there, until it ...
