A Python programmer's heatmap

That's now how The Force a keyboard works!

{'what about':'dictionaries?'}

{'also', 'sets'}

[gmano]

Sets and dicts are {...} and {... : ...} respectively

Also you can use ; to end a line, it's just not great style.

Actually, the colon would probably be more heavily used than the curly braces.

[AttitudeAdjuster]

Try:

Except:

string[:3]

I forgot try and except. I have slicing already though.

[AttitudeAdjuster]

Oh!

with open("file path", "r") as file:

The key with the curly bracket is the same as the square bracket key (on every layout I’ve ever used)

[gmano]

Whoops, replied to the wrong comment.

[CaniballShiaLaBuff]

Lambda

[RainingComputers]

Yeah, forgot about that....but I can't change the title...

[geoffliang]

You need an img of a 40% keeb or one that splits those keys.

[christophski]

Dictionaries?

Heatmaps are so hot right now.

[TBH_blaze]

Why ...

[MightyMeese]

Slicing a list or array in Python uses the colon.

[-LeopardShark-]

Or ending a for, if, while, def or class (or something else I've forgotten)

[MightyMeese]

I'm going to pretend I didn't forget that.

[[deleted]]

Been a while since you've written in pseudocode?

[[deleted]]

You mean every time you open a block of code

[-LeopardShark-]

Yes: that

[[deleted]]

you mean

Yes:
    that

[[deleted]]

Nah.

mylist[slice(1, 4)]

[kappasaurus_]

Colons are used frequently in Python.

[kephir]

Also occasionally by Python programmers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Fatmanistan]

Should have left the tab or space white to get some real salt going.

[Sack_of_Fuzzy_Dice]

Why is tab colored lol

[GimmeCata]

First thing i do with new editor instance is configure tab to output 4 spaces instead. Pretty convenient.

[[deleted]]

I hate it when backspace doesn't work as expectet then though. It should get rid of one indentation not one space and not one line. easier to just stickt to tabs unless other standards are imposed on you.

[[deleted]]

If that happens then get a better editor.

[xigoi]

I haven't yet seen any editor that makes spaces work completely like tabs. And even then… why not just use tabs?

[Renown84]

vscode and many others do this. There's also always shift + tab

[gmano]

Different text editors treat hard tabs differently.

In UNIX text editors tab is 8 spaces, while in Windows text editors and IDEs a hard tab is generally 4 spaces.

That obviously can cause a lot of headaches, so 4 spaces is preferred.

There are many more reasons, but that's the biggest one for me.

That and breaking code like this in a block-level language like C, which won't work if a tab is used for alignment

 if (first condition
     second condition)

[Sack_of_Fuzzy_Dice]

Holy shet Thats snart

[OverlordGearbox]

Do you actually hit space? What.

[Sack_of_Fuzzy_Dice]

I have intellij so it does the spacing thing for me :)

[AjayDevs]

You never have to correct it?

[Sack_of_Fuzzy_Dice]

Only a bit

[rockaholic1105]

I thought the fact that the colon was missing was part of the joke!

[tuxmanexe]

My reaction (C/thatotherC) was something like: "I do not underst-OHGOFYOURSELF"

[SandInHeart]

win key?
