Codecademy - Python: Tutorial #10

Enroll for coding exercises, projects, tutorials, and courses...

This is part 10 of the Codecademy Python Walkthrough Tutorial. It covers topics like loops, for loops, strings, looping strings, arbitrary loop variable, list loops, dictionary loop, for loop conditionals, counter variable, increment, incrementing shorthand, string formatting, complicated functions with dictionaries and loops, function arguments, and much more!

======================= ABOUT PYTHON CODECADEMY SERIES =================

The target audience are beginners or developers looking to pick up Python. I also emphasize the importance of writing good code and I go through the first part really fast.

I will literally be going through every single thing and breaking it down for you so there is nothing for you that would be scary. You can watch me do it and you can simply follow along you will learn ALL the basics. I swear I wish something like this was out there when I started learning because everyone else explains things in such a complicated way and makes it so boring! I honestly think programming is based upon exploration and creativity rather than some mathematical/logical genius frame of mind! I spent a lot of hard work in making this so I hope you guys enjoy and learn something out of it while having fun! This is targeted towards beginners, for developers looking to learn python, or for individuals looking for a refresher on basics in computer programming!!

Great job on these guides Rafe! I like how you substitute the actual values for the variables and how the expressions simplyfies. It's so much easier to see how the algorithm works and how the computer spits out the answer. As a new coder it really helps a lot! Functions itself is already confusing but the way you substitute it helps so much. I can't imagine later on when the codes go to functions within functions within functions lol

Thank you I was so lost to begin with and now I only have to use your video's as references when i get stuck!

@ around 15:30, when you are printing the prices and stock of fruit using the for loop, why doesn't print in corresponding order with the dictionary? Yours prints, oranges, pears, bananas, apples...while the order of the dictionary is bananas, apples, oranges, pears. Very confused on this, any insight would be greatly appreciated!

[rozageorgevna]

Thanks for the videos, great way to learn Python

[TheVegardH]

Yay, made it to #10!
Do you have any tips on things I can code to practice? I'm struggling with knowing what I can use my new coding knowledge on!

Oh, and congratulations on 100 subscribers!!

[seannnlim]

Great tutorial video ! Is there any way where i can practice more for functions ?

[GOLEM-yfmx]

For Part 8, Keeping track of the produce, in A day at the supermarket, I wrote this code, which is exactly similar to the one you wrote although at codecademy it shows an error
Help please!




# Creating a price dictionary
prices = {
"banana": 4,
"apple": 2,
"orange": 1.5,
"pear": 3
}

# Creating a stock dictionary

stock = {
"banana": 6,
"apple": 0,
"orange": 32,
"pear": 15
}

for price in prices:
print(price)
print("price : %s" % prices[price])
print("stock : %s" % stock[price])

Why does it have print twice in the middle?

COULD YOU SHARE YOUR REPL.IT PAGE FOR EVERY LESSON IN THE DESCRIPTION

Can You Please Make "Build A Game" or "Build A Program" Video?!

[philipT]

every video so far have been great with good explanations, the feedback tho is in many part of the videos, you are explaining thins very good and repeatedly but only the easy part, when theres something wrong in the code you are not explaining that like you do with other things, for example in the ending part in this video when your wrote "shopping_list" instead of "food". the code didn't work because your wrote wrong and then you just corrected that and the video was ended without any deep explanation, i still don't understand why its working with "food" and not with the other part
