Working on them "while" loops now.



The only thing really tripping me up now is indentation. That and misspelling inputs.

what editor are you using?

 

[levitate]

what editor are you using?

Notepad++

Seems like the indentation interpretation gets messed up after loading the text into the Python shell. Or (more than likely) I'm just messing it up somewhere.

The book that I'm using spent maybe two sentences on indentation...feels like it should have been closer to a chapter dedicated to the subject.

Do you guys recommend freecodecamp.com?

I enjoy learning front-end stuff but I'm no coder yet. Taking courses on Udemy and flew through courses on Udacity.

But this place gives you legit projects to work on

Does input() work with sublime?

Ive been teaching myself python and when i run code with input() it doesnt seem to run the next line of code. For example in the code below after I type something it wont run the print line. Do i need to enable something in sublime?

myName = input("what is your name?: ")
print("oh so your name is " + myName)

There are way too many subjects to study and so little time.

How are you running the program? In the command line and typing python filename.py?

Apparently Sublime doesn't support that out of the box, but there are plug-ins you can get to rectify that issue:

LOL. I swear I told almost this exact quote to my lead. I always try to find the best solution for the problem. But it has to be a simple solution or else prepare to work weekends..lol

When your code works the way you want it to...


Got a little frustrated with an exercise last night because the book didn't really explain how to sum a particular input.
Came up with the method below wherein I continuously append a table as long as the while loop is true. I'm doing a horrible job of explaining this, just look at the code:

print "Greetings! - Welcome to the Receipt Program!"
print""
print""
table = []
while True:
    seat = raw_input("Enter the value for the seat [Or type 'q' to quit]: ")
    if seat == "q":
        break
    seat = int(seat)
    table.append(seat)
print""
print "*" * 5
print "Table Total: ${}".format(sum(table))
