else:
return 'There are {} {}s'.format(the_list[0], the_list[1])
return the_list
print(how_many([1, 'trinket']))
print(how_many([5, 'King']))
#This is a cleaner way than any other.

Hello cleverprogramer, thank you for making this video, It's awesome..

[Hi-knkv]

def how_meany(number, string):
sent = 'There are '
number = int(number)
if number > 1:
string = string[0:] + 's.'
elif number == 1:
sent = 'There is '
return sent + str(number)+ ' ' + string
print(how_meany(2, 'king'))

Hello.

So I installed Python 3 and could do simple stuff with it like printing or using the calculator. But I could not find the "scripts" folder nor can I find the Python36 folder in my C driver (Im using Windows). I installed Python 2 and everything went better. I was able to install stuff like Pip, create the path for python and so on.

Why is that? Should I resort to Python 2 and leave 3?

Thank you.

Hello. How did you get started with the YouTube channel?

def number_of_things(list_):
if list_[0] > 1:
return "There are {} {}s.".format(list_[0], list_[1])
else:
return "There is {} {}.".format(list_[0], list_[1])

print(number_of_things([1, 'banana']))
print(number_of_things([7, 'banana']))

What if the thing is "city" or "watch"? Would we just use a bunch of "if" statements then?

[gorkemcelebiler]

def how_many(given_list):
if (given_list[0]==1):
return "There is 1 {}.".format(given_list[1])
else:
return "There are {} {}s".format(given_list[0], given_list[1])

[amjadalhosaini]

very useful thx.... any explanations about == += -= ....

[shreshthkaushik]

def how_many(list):
if list[0] == 1 :
sentence = 'There %s %s %s.'%('is', list[0], list[1])
print sentence
elif list[0] >= 2:
sentence = 'There %s %s %s.'%('are', list[0], list[1]+'s')
print sentence

print how_many([5, "Trinkets"])
print how_many([1, "King"])

[minoriruba]

what is more important critical thinking or memorizing??my science teacher says science is 60 percent memorizing and 40 percent critical thinking.

[ermiaskidanegebre]

here is my solution
def how_many(the_list):

if the_list[0]>1:
return 'there are %s %ss.' %(the_list[0], the_list[1])
else:
return 'there is %s %s.' %(the_list[0], the_list[1])


return the_list



print(how_many([5, 'trinket']))
print(how_many([1, 'king']))

[lochnload]

One line version.

return "There are " + str(the_list[0]) + " " + the_list[1] + "s." if (the_list[0] > 1) else "There is " + str(the_list[0]) + " " + the_list[1] + '.'
