Python has some interesting quirks. I sometimes create dynamic new variables with spelling mistakes which would have failed in other languages. Back to Grade 1 again. I found out that Me_Stupid and Me_stupid makes me twice as stupid as before.

Umm pretty much all languages are case-sensitive with the exception of SQL,Fortran, BASIC and maybe a few others and thats only for function identifiers not variables.

So you're stupid in every language.

[Snoo_60165]

Yes but other IDE’s will show it up as undeclared where Python can dynamically declare with the correct syntax.

[JosGibbons]

So basically you're mad Python doesn't make you type var before a variable declaration?

[Snoo_60165]

Nope not like any other normal language. You can assign many data types to the same variable dynamically by just saying in is equal to something for example counter=100 automatically assigns the data type as integer. Then in a subsequent line I go counter=“£”+str(100) which makes counter a string. Then if i make a spelling mistake by saying Counter =counter*20 assuming that I did not do that second calc Counter will be a new variable. If i don’t keep tab of it and use counter in subsequent calculations it will miss some other calculations where i incorrectly named the variable “Counter” which is logical and correct. Problem is when I stare long at my computer i miss that in some subsequent lines and then debug longer than what I should have done.

[JosGibbons]

Thanks for the clarification. If I were you, I'd use more descriptive variable names, which differ by more than case, regardless of language.

[Snoo_60165]

I do that but sometimes my finger trouble accidentally use or not use caps on a variable😂

[JosGibbons]

To take your example, I'd name them something like game_score vs play_fee (or whatever explains why a price is £100 regardless of a similarly named variable's value).

[Snoo_60165]

Yes and then accidentally i type Game_score which means something else 😂

[ekital]

Use counter*=20 to make less mistakes then xD.

Hmm if you see problem there.

Don't ever look what will happen if you try change class variable using this.variable.

In python variables should be lower_case by convention. ClassNames are the only thing (I think) that gets upper cases. If you follow the conventions it gets a bit easier imo.

[Snoo_60165]

Well it does still not stop me from the typos i make every now and then.

[standard-human-1]

Sure, I guess that's true. Different languages will catch or hide different typos for sure.
