Re: [Tutor] Top Programming Languages of 2013
What are these stats based on?

Is it a measure of power, popularity, usage? Scary that HTML/CSS should be so high though given its not a programming language at all!

Alas, we are not mind readers. Instead of letting others guess, it's usually a better idea to write any syntax errors - or whatever - Python complains, or what the result you expect it to be, and what result it actually turns out to. Then we can help you fix it. This particular five lines code was no problem, but for code longer than that it's usually a pain in the backside having to guess everything and still end up with a poster who's not satisfied with the result based on plain guessing and no fact. -- - Rikard - http://bos.hack.org/cv/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] I want some help with arrays...
Also computer start counting from 0 you can change this when you learn the language more but it isn't recommended! http://www.goldwatches.com/watches.asp?Brand=39 - Original Message - From: Luke Paireepinart [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Alan Gilfoy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: tutor@python.org Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 9:46 PM Subject: Re: [Tutor] I want some help with arrays...

Gotcha. Think of this command as being interpreted from left to right. command: array[0[1]] array[ ... now what do we index? 0[1] - this doesn't work, it raises an error. Whereas this: command: array[0][1] array[ ... what do we index? 0 ] - we index the first item. so now we have this: command: [0.0,0.1][1] [0.0,0.1] [ ... what do we index? 1 ] - we index the 2nd item. so now we have this: 0.1 there are no more commands, so we stop here.

Re: [Tutor] I want some help with arrays...
When the CPU writes to the RAM the 0th location can be written to also. When you alter components of a language for example changing the way an list is indexed you have to be careful because you can accidently jump out of bounds! http://www.goldwatches.com/watches.asp?Brand=39 - Original Message - From: Bob Gailer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: James Matthews [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: tutor@python.org Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 12:03 AM Subject: Re: [Tutor] I want some help with arrays... James Matthews wrote: Also computer start counting from 0 No no. Computers don't count. Programs count. And they start whereever you program them to start. Recall that humans count from 1 because of some historic evolution. The introduction of zero into human arithmetic came many centuries after counting. And met with much initial resistance. The origin for array indexes is also varied in its evolution. FORTRAN arrays are indexed starting at 1. In some languages you can specify the range of indexes as in dimension a (1900:2030) if you want to use the year as an index and don't care about years outside the range 1900..2030. you can change this when you learn the language more but it isn't recommended!
