Hi Everyone,
I'm Mr. Noobie here, I've just started easing into Python (2.7.4) and am
enjoying working along to some youtube tutorials. I've done a little
programming in the past.
I've just got a few thoughts I'd like to share and ask about:
* Why not allow floater=float(int1/int2) - rather than floater=float
(int1)/float(int2)?
Give me a float (or an error message) from evaluating everything in the
brackets. Don't make me explicitly convert everything myself (unless I
want to)
* No sign of a select .. case statement
Another useful tool in the programmer's toolbox
Select DayofWeek
case "mon"
...
end select
* Call me pedantic by why do we need a trailing comma for a list of one
item? Keep it intuitive and allow lstShopping=[] or ["Bread"] or
["Bread", "Milk","Hot Chocolate"] I don't like ["Bread",]. It bugs me.
Just some initial thoughts. I just wanted to know the reasoning behind
the above, be shown the shortcomings of my ignorance, pointed in the
right direction. Let the High Priests of Python come forth and speak wise
words and show me the ignorance of thy ways. Let my cup be filled to
overflowing with your kind knowledge and wisdom.
Is everyone happy with the way things are? Could anyone recommend a good,
high level language for CGI work? Not sure if I'm going to be happy with
Perl (ahhh, get him, he's mentioned Perl and is a heretic!) or Python. I
would very much value any constructive criticism or insights.
And a "thank you", ["sirs","madams"] but pls, not just ["sirs",]
JvH
