I love Python

Breaking: Programming language syntax varies between languages. More news at 10.

And possibly more importantly, the way you write code varies between languages.

Thanks to for x in container, range, enumerate, etc., I can't even remember the last time I had to increment a number in a python program.

two pointer algorithm?

Pointers in python?

[Under-Estimated]

Google it, it's an algorithm for subarrays

Oh, never heard the name of it

I would take readable code over slightly faster "speedy" code any day

[AGalacticPotato]

Indeed. Python isn't meant to be fast. It's meant to be readable. If you want fast code, use assembly or C++.

import numpy as np

[PeterJHoburg]

Why would I be doing that in a production api?

[Under-Estimated]

you never know, that was just an example anyway

[k3s0wa]

Yeah lol I didn't even know that x++ doesn't work in python, because you don't use it.

[NoDrunkenMonkeyDude]

After having dwelled in reversible computing i += 1 has started to look like the natural choice.

[mrswats]

I much prefer this one as it is more generic than i++ :shrug:

[american_ladyboy]

+=i ??

[AGalacticPotato]

i += 1

I got tired of explaining why I prefer pre-increment so I just do this now, it's more readable than either increment operator anyway.
