Thank God I found your channel. I've been reading this book for some days now and I have some questions. Your videos put me through.

God bless you🙏❤😍

Thanks very much Sir, studying the book(pdf) alone was kind of tasking. Thanks for these videos once again.

I am pretty impressed. In the page 139 of Python Crash Course the exercice of the minute 18:30 to make an argument optional is solved with an if/else. You solved it in a more economical way. Really cool!!

Hi Robin,
Great video as always!

I didn't quite understand why are we using "return".
For example in exercise 8-7 could we just use:

def make_album (artist, title, songs=None):
"""Return album dictionary."""
album = {'artist': artist, 'title': title, 'songs':songs}
print(album)


make_album("Michael Jackson", "Thriller")
make_album("The Beatles", "Let it Be", 12)

It gives us the same results.
Or maybe there is more of use of "return" later on.
Hope my question makes sense.

Started learning python since sept 21 and came acrooss your videos which are perfect in learning step by step. The problem that am getting is the video is dark and when you code the letters are very small and sometimes cant differenciet a comma and a full stop or parentes bracket and curley brackets. plz can u adjust those fonts . Am right now at chapter 8 (functions) and bought a magnifying card and its not helping . Plz help Thanks
