[Tutor] computer basics
I am learning Python slowly. I would like to begin learning all about how computers work from the bottom up. I have an understanding of binary code. Where should I go from here; can you suggest continued reading, on line or off to continue my education?

Hello, when i try to run this (see below) i get message: socket error: no connection could be made because the target maching actively refused it, and, idle subprocess didn't make connection. either idle can't start a subprocess or personal firewall software is blocking the connection. def mult(a, b): if b == 0: return 0 rest = mult(a, b - 1) value = a + rest return value print 3 * 2 = , mult(3, 2) i used idle window(gui) and new window and it works sometimes.

[Tutor] (no subject)
Hello, I am a newcomer, I guess I'm have trouble thinking like a computer yet. My question is: in this program: resp = raw_input(What's your name? ) print Hi, %s, nice to meet you % resp does %s mean 'place the user response here' and secondly what and why do I put % resp at the end of the print statement? I know this is very basic and future questiions will be more interesting I hope.

Can you explain to me, step by step, what is going on in the computer in this loop. I hope I am not being too dumb! a = 0 b = 1 count = 0 max_count = 20 while count max_count: count = count + 1 # we need to keep track of a since we change it old_a = a# especially here old_b = b a = old_b b = old_a + old_b # Notice that the , at the end of a print statement keeps it # from switching to a new line print old_a, ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
