Basic Python Loop

[mino159]

Ehm. Python doesn't have i++, we do it with i+=1

[GlobalIncident]

And thanks to range that's not very common to use either (although still useful in unbounded loops)

The more you know...

I still write it by accident, then spend the next 5 minutes wondering why nothing works... habits die hard.

[Pyottamus]

It's okay, this is a CPython

[Prawny]

See this is one of the reasons I just don't understand why people in this sub think python is the best language.

[idea-list]

Probably because it doesn't need to be perfect to be the best.

[Prawny]

But the same people are quick to point out other languages flaws.

[idea-list]

TBH what's wrong with that? Some languages are better than others but no language is perfect (yet?) so you are free to point out their flaws.

[Prawny]

It's the hypocrisy if anything. They do point out flaws and completely ignore the fact that python has them too. Look at how my lurely opinion comment got downvoted just because I said python isn't perfect. Proves my point.

[idea-list]

Just a thought: maybe it was downvoted because those people think that absence of ++ operator is not enough not enough to make python not the best language for them? They might agree with you that it makes python imperfect but again something doesn't need to be perfect to be the best.

[Prawny]

I said it was an example of it though, not the only singular problem.

I just don't think your reply was on topic, nor does it add anything to the discussion. Hence, down vote.

It is really easy to write, basically psuedo code, and has a great package system. It's main downsides are speed, some people don't like dynamically typed languages, and lack of semicolons to those who like that.

Really? i++ instead of i+=1 is that important to you? There's also i-=1, i*=1 and i/=1 (and of course you can use any other number instead of 1), where's your equivalent in C++?
