Alright Python is an object-oriented programing language. It makes development of new applications useful for high-level built-in data structures and dynamic typing. Also, it’s useful for scripting or “glue” code to combine existing components written in different languages. Ok as I am diving more into python, learning the modules and doing some of the labs given I am getting nervous because it’s not clicking to me yet! I mean most people says python is their favorite program language. Maybe It could be because it’s “simple and easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost and complication of long-term program maintenance” (Flatiron School, Intro to Python).
Why didn’t I know Python was so difficult? As much as it makes since it’s also confusing at the same time. Sounds crazy right? I just feel like there’s a lot of layers that just keeps coming one after the other as you finish one part, it’s like a mystery. It’s crazy but I really feel challenged to continue learning and having a more understand on how to code with Python. For example, below I am currently stuck on something like this:
# Wrong:
def foo(x):
if x >= 0:
return math.sqrt(x)
def bar(x):
if x < 0:
return
return math.sqrt(x)
# Correct:
def foo(x):
if x >= 0:
return math.sqrt(x)
else:
return None
def bar(x):
if x < 0:
return None
return math.sqrt(x)
When I try to follow the correct way to write my code it doesn’t seem to work. Although What I am working on is a bit different from these codes above but the idea is the same. I’m not sure what I am doing wrong yet but I’ll keep running it again and again until I get it right.
