Lesson 13 - Python Programming (Automate the Boring Stuff with Python)

[QJI]

I could literally fall asleep to the sounds of you typing on the keyboard and the mouse clicking. It's so relaxing! If one day you find yourself bored, you should make a ASMR typing channel. I'll definitely subscribe.

You say "up to but not including" the last number in the slice. But it seems like it does include that last number when I'm entering it:
spam = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
spam[1:3] = ['A', 'B', 'C']
print(spam)
does print [10, A, B, C, 50]
Maybe it's a subtle difference that takes place when assigning it. That's the only difference I'm seeing I guess. Probably will figure it out with practice. Thanks.

watching all the videos in this order -fantabulous (subscribed)

[suppermanzzzz]

could you please make more Python tutorial for automate testing ! Thanks !

Chapter 4 quiz question 3 has me stumped. " Assuming 'spam' contains the list [ 'a', ' b ', 'c', 'd'] what does spam[int(int( '3' * 2 ) // 11) ] evaluate to? " The answer I get is 'd' and it seems that
Python returns the value of whichever index of number we put in quotations but how? 3 * 2 equals 6 and divided by 11 with no remainder is 0 which should be 'a'.

Love that the lecturer has Steam running LOL.

cool i figured something out from this tutorial i couldnt solve before ( as a very new person to python )

Hi Al. Great tutorial...big fan..

I was wondering why would str() function won't work on list() function e.g
str(list('cats'))
would give me a list rather than a string...(why is it in ''' '')
"['c', 'a', 't', 's']"

I tried to sign up 3 times and while I can sign up, every time I try to buy the book, it sends me back to login

Thank you for every thing ... I wonder what is the name of the software you'r using as "evaluation visualization tool" with the "Next Step" button in this lesson?

[avral]

Why you didn’t talk a bit about more advanced stuff like regular expressions?

[TheTrueBlue]

at @7:13, how are you inserting 3 values between 2 indices ? The indices you have included are 1, 2 by using the span 1:3 but you have added 3 new values 'CAT', 'DOG' and 'MOUSE' to those 2 indices. How does that work ? '

[mesaber]

Whats the reasoning for "up to but not including"? Why is it made that way.

[jakeambrose]

seems like there should still be an even shorter more efficient way of retrieving a list item

[punyan]

How do you add an element to a specific location in a list? eg: list = ['cat', 'dogturtle']. I'd like to add a space right between dog and turtle: ['cat, 'dog, 'turtle]

[barkeeper]

i dont understand thew practice
ik im late but thx

[cryptkeeper]

List = ['cat', 'bat', 'rat']
Len('list[ ]') evaluates to 6. Huh? I don't get it. Could someone explain why this evaluates to 6

[kd]

is it same as array and 2D array in C++?

[tomtommy]

how can we access the "Evaluation Visualization" tool (1:53)

So that you know, this is when the course starts for me.
