Perhaps you can find this useful

with OS peculiarities such as the one Brett Ritter pointed.

Chris,
Can you say more about number (7) in your list? What does pass by value

Oh boy, is that a can of worms... and this is going to be a long post.

Thanks for the advice. I think I have the dictionary function set up right
now although I'm still not clear why it is better than the list.
attributes = {strength: 0, health: 0, wisdom: 0, dexterity: 0}
Consider where you want to update the points for health
Using two lists you need to
attributes[strength] = input(\nHow many points do you want to
assign to
strength?: )
Please let me know if this isn't advisable. It seems to work on the
surface.
Close, but remember that input() returns a string. You need numbers
so you need to convert strings to integers.

I am starting with a book called Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner
by Michael Dawson. The book has been pretty good and up to this point, I
have grasped all the concepts it has covered. At the end of each chapter,
there are a number of challenges you need to complete before moving
Write a code that will take an input from a user (numerical grade) and
convert their numerical grade into a letter grade that is accompanied by a

elif grade =85 and grade

Hi. I'm new at programming and, as some others on this list, am going

I don't want a direct answer on how to proceed, but a question that
arose during my thinking of the problem was whether dictionaries can
have integral data in them, like so:
attributes = {Strength : 28, Health : 12}
or if they have to be:
attributes = {Strength : 28, Health : 12}
12 matches
