Python for Informatics - Chapter 4 - Functions

[ThePowerchimp]

You've explained in 28 minutes what my lecturer took a week to explain and I still understood your style better! Thanks a million!

[ToxicFallenAngel]

Wow. So much better than my university lecturer whom I am completely unable to understand. So logical, so helpful and very easy to understand. Thank you so much. I finally understand functions. This is great. Will recommend to all my friends.

lol he is an awesome teacher with a great personality. We need more professors like him in school. I have been taking his python class online and he has made it so much fun to learn. I love programming again because of him. I took a C++ class at Michigan State and hated it. The teacher was a bore and just made everything much more confusing with her teaching methods.

This python2 course has me so enthusiastic about programming and it's only chapter 4. I really enjoy the combination of this video and textbook that goes along and I look forward to the python3 materials. So far I have been able to make a few games and tools that have been fun to watch my kid play with and they also inspire him and expose him to python

I just updated the description to include a link to my playlist.

Haven't even gotten to the teaching portion yet, an I already love this.  You seem like a pretty awesome teacher! I've been learning Python, and it's great to have some mellow comic relief.

Thank you for posting this! It's going to help me get through Fundamentals of Programming.

Teaching is a skill and you definitely got it and then some. Subbed.

Am I the only one that had an error in my brain trying to understand why "w" was the "max" and " " was the "min" in Hello world? How does Python determine that? My brain hurts. Love the Harry Potter intro!

for exercise 4.7 i couldn't figure out how to define "Bad score", if the input was a string?

[MohamedMohamed-gjlm]

Does anyone know why this is not working I know it is not full proof. ie 168 hours in a week etc. But, I thought it should at least work.

def computepay(hr, rt):
if hr > 40:
num = ((40*rt)+((hr-40)*rt*1.5))
return num
elif hr > 0 and hr <= 40:
return hr * rt
else:
return 0



hours = raw_input('Enter Hours:')
Rate = raw_input('Enter Rate:')
pay = computepay(hours, Rate)
print('Pay:'+ str(pay))

Does anyone else notice he has the Sorting Hat in the background?

Why does type(10) function outputs <type 'int'>, but when I want to use in a comparative statement I have to only use int? For example, type(10) == int is true.
Is there a reason why type(10) returns this weird string, instead of just int?
