Hi DL,
I started from here https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html .. And then
found out there should be more which is not covered here, so I was looking for
a book. And then got the journeyman book and started reading it. I am now on
chapter 11. Yet not bored and distracted. The author r
Arup,
Good choice! (thought I recognised the example-problem) The three books
in the "Python Craftsman" series/bundle: "Apprentice", "Journeyman", and
"Master" are a thoroughly recommendable resource. As the titles infer,
they start at a beginner level and become more complex over time. Even
Hello,
DL, the book I am reading is https://leanpub.com/python-journeyman .. It is an
awesome book. The code is in page #351.
David and Chris, The analogy you used to answer my questions were super
helpful. I could answer my own question by putting some effort by dry running
the code ofcourse.

I am reading a Python book, where the author used a simple word wrap program to
explain another concept. But I am not understanding some parts of the program.
def wrap(text, line_length):
"""Wrap a string to a specified line length"""
words = text.split()
