I've just finished reading Python turtorial for non-programmers and I haven't found there anything about some usefull commands I used in QBasic. First of all, what's Python command equivalent to QBasic's "goto" ?
Oh no! You said the "G" word! That's a dirty word in computer science circles, because of the perception that "goto" (there, I said it, ugh!) can lead people to structure their code badly, i.e. write bad programs.
Instead, most modern programming languages offer a range of control and looping constructs that allow you to code your intention more clearly than with goto. Python examples include "while", "for .. in ..", "try .. except ..", etc, etc.
So in order to answer your question, you're probably going to have to be more specific on what you want "goto" for.
Interestingly, "goto"s are undergoing a bit of renaissance in coding circles, but people have felt compelled to call them something different: continuations. But you're probably not interested in them. And python can't do them anyway.
Secondly, how do I clear screen (cls) from text and other content ?
That depends on
A: What type of display device you're using
B: What type of interface is being rendered on that display (command line, GUI, IDE, etc)
C: Perhaps what operating system you are using.
And last, how do I put program to wait certain amount of seconds ?
If I remeber correctly I used to type "Wait 10" and QBasic waits 10 seconds before proceeding to next command.
Ahhhhhh, a simple question! :-)
import time time.sleep(10.0)
