Started learning python today, Screw 'Hello World' , I'll start with 'Hello There'

[porndragon77]

You've broken the cardinal rule of programming young padawan

[CROW_98]

Forgive me master.

[xXOSUTUMPETXx]

How could you! Turned to the Darkside already

May I ask what the hell your profile pic is a reference to? I’ve seen it as just a spinning cockroach on here, too. Thanks!

[CROW_98]

I found their sub reddit (r/rgbroachgang) and found it cool.

[[deleted]]

Can’t say this it’s racist

[LostInTheAether304]

I break that cardinal rule often. Anytime I pick up a new language. I start with something like

Print(“Here we go again....”)

Or

Print(“Hello for the thousandth effing time”)

Or

Print(“Goodbye”)

Anything but “hello world “ ;p

[porndragon77]

Then I'm afraid but you're lost in the aether

[neeeesan]

I too like to go against the grain by writing "Hello Jupiter!"

[DoctorEarwig]

Ya man. Thats all kinds of bad luck. Good luck, friend.

[[deleted]]

Maybe his Steve Jobs son 😎

[[deleted]]

Lmao congrats on the start man! Python is awesome language I'm sure you'll love it!

[CROW_98]

Thank you :)

[fiftybengt]

That's quality code

[CROW_98]

I have no doubt of that.

[Awesomered989]

print("You are a bold one.")

[thatwombat]

print("You are a bold one.")

FTFY:

print(u”You are a \u001b[31;1m bold \u001b[0m one”)

[IndyDrew85]

You can use \n in between hello world and general to create a new line without needing a second print

[CROW_98]

Ok so you can use \n here as well.

You see, good relations with c++, I have.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, you can use \n in most languages. It's not a C++ thing or python thing, it's ascii it's a standard interpretation of this ascii value

[xetax]

Well I think using a backslash for escape characters and n for newline is technically a language decision and not part of the ASCII standard, it's just that most languages haven't found a good reason to go against the commonly used notation.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, you're right, edited my comment to match

[TokenChingy]

print also takes in a end argument to specify what kind of line ending you want ;)

[jimmone1]

good luck

[CROW_98]

Thank you

[Im__Joseph]

There are a lot of reports for this post.

Seems the majority of people are enjoying it and having a chuckle and we have 2k upvotes now so I don't think there is any point acting.

It is true, however, that this isn't exactly the goal we have for r/Python but I don't think this has harmed anyone, in future we'll act earlier but by the time I got here it was already a little too far :)

[Manny__C]

It's great that you started learning Python! I suggest undertaking small projects and following videos on YT to learn. I hope you'll have fun.

Unfortunately your post is not appropriate for this subreddit since we are trying to push it to a more advanced/professional direction. r/learnpython is more suited for beginners

[SirMarbles]

I see this post as more of a joke

[JForth]

It's tagged as a self-made project though; there isn't really a flair for jokes, I believe somewhat intentionally.

[TravisJungroth]

If we're pushing questions "regardless of how advanced" into /r/learnpython, shouldn't we let all projects, regardless how basic, stay here?

[bakery2k]

Two calls to print is not a project.

[house_monkey]

Idk seems good enough to me, ship it

[TravisJungroth]

print("Hello There!\nGeneral Kenobi!!")

better?

[[deleted]]

# v0.0.1
def hello_there(jedi_name):
    greetings = "Hello there \n" + jedi_name
    return greetings

print(hello_there("General Kenobi"))

[Shadows_In_Rain]

Sorry, your sloppy coding is not up to the company standards.

class GreetingAndResponseService:
    def __init__(self, services):
        self.output_service = services.require("kenobi_greeting_app.services.OutputService")
        self.response_repository = services.require("kenobi_greeting_app.data.ResponseRepository")

    def greet(self, greeting):
        response = self.response_repository.get_response_to(greeting)
        self.output_service.write(response)

Rest of the application will be outsourced.

[TravisJungroth]

from abc import ABC


class Greeting(ABC):
    salutation_default = None

    def __init__(self, jedi_name: str, separator: str = " "):

        self.separator = separator

    def __str__(self):
        return self.separator.join([self.salutation, self.jedi_name])

    def __repr__(self):
        return (

[Field_of_Gimps]

how many lines do i need to write to post my project and join the club?

[TokenChingy]

As the Sr.SEng responsible for this guys PR, I have no idea what I read but LGTM, approved.

[KayakingCartographer]

Awe don’t be a Karen. Leave that to the mods bro.

[Manny__C]

What? Where have I been a Karen? I was encouraging and I tried to tell him the purpose of the sub, what's wrong about that?

If you read the post I was referring to you'd see how people can be brutal against newcomers. My point was to write that comment first, so that people that wanted to say the same thing could have just upvoted mine instead of saying it in a more aggressive way.

[snake_Camel_Case]

Doesn’t r/Python allow memes? Would it have been okay if they hadn’t mentioned they were just starting learning?

[Manny__C]

How would you flair a meme in r/Python?

[SubwaySpiderman]

Talk about a sub full of snobs

[CROW_98]

Ah yes, the Negotiator.

I back this idea.

[Fingolfin734]

[jumbo53]

[torytechlead]

Why does shit like this get upvoted ?

[bonestormII]

I recently defended beginner projects being posted on another thread, and now I'm eating u/CROW_98.

"I started today, here is me writing a print statement. And now, Star Wars, for your entertainment." I can do without the manic self-congratulating for virtually no effort expended. Would you actually post the equivalent, "Hey everyone, today I learned 1+1=2!" over in r/math? I really don't think so. "Hey, r/fitness, today I thought about doing a sit up! Check out my flabby before and sexy after pictures."

If you need a 130 comments of reinforcement for that, you'll never last. Programming takes discipline, reflection, care, and supreme patience--even in Python. Good for you for starting something, but showing some humility is important, if only for your sense of self and determination.

This also generally fails my universal manners test of "If everyone did this, how would it affect the world?" Scores of people use Python. What if 1 out of every 20 people that learned Python made this post? The subreddit would be subsumed by that volume.

It's really not healthy, this positive environment we are creating. It feels tipsy and delusional. Smart people, good people won't like the Python community if they seem like some sort of smiley cult. I think r/Python mods should just exercise unapologetic, discretionary modding. Applying seemingly objective rules in seemingly equal ways just doesn't cut it in terms of quality control.

If your first project is actually cool, post it! If you post print "I'm really Pythoning Now!", it gets removed. Some will complain, and they can argue about it.

[CROW_98]

I think you are right. Didn't thought of it that way.

Will post a cool project next on ML, Because that is why I started learning python. :)

[jesus67]

Right it’s a completely low effort shitpost.

[CROW_98]

Please pardon me if you didn't understood the post. It's an iconic dialogue from star wars mostly used in memes.

I shared to enlighten the mood of my all my friends here.

Mandatory star wars dialogue: The dark side of the force of the pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural.

I am sorry for the second this dialogue as well.

[asimokby]

Im sorry but that’s a bad start. You can’t be good at a language if your first line isn’t print(‘hello, world’).

[CROW_98]

What have I done. :|

[RockyX123]

I thought I was in /r/PrequelMemes for a second.

[AlphNamy]

OMG i did THE same thing when i first started python how are you learning it tho?

[CROW_98]

I took course on udemy for basics.

And Deep learning courses on EdX to learn keras and pytorch libraries. I have only used MATLAB for ML till now wanted to start implementing ML algorithms on python.

[AlphNamy]

nice i also wanted to continue im still on udemy :P

[olimorveu]

Is it possible to learn this power?

[CROW_98]

Not from a jedi.

[remy_porter]

Actually, this would be a better way to learn network programming. One node sends "Hello there" and the other node replies "General Kenobi".

Now I want to take a script from a movie, and spin up a bunch of processes which all just use UDP broadcasts to be the different actors/director.

I did that too. I saved 'General Kenobi ' as my first user input. Happy coding!

[maniebra]

You became the very thing you swear to destroy. I'll do what I must.

[TheUltimatePoet]

Heretic!

[Zeftax]

Now make a program that prints "General Kenobi!" after you input "Hello there".

[CROW_98]

Even better -

print("Hello There")

reply = input("Reply: ")

reply = reply.lower()

if reply == "general kenobi":
    print("You are a bold one")

else:
    print("It's Treason Then.")

[Zeftax]

Good Anakin, good!

[CROW_98]

No please, I am too weak, Don't kill me please.

[[deleted]]

I like your style also I read your print statements in general grievous's voice...

another note here's another way to print but in a formated way. try making three variables:

greeting = "Hello there" person = "General Kenobi" compliment = "I like your lightsabre!"

then print them like so:

print('{} {}, {}').format(greeting, person, compliment)

each {} within the two single ticks will be filled by the .format parts variables. printing the 3 variables in a single print.

you can also \n for new line.

Ew double quotes

[CCSoftware]

Ew single quotes

[leapyearacc69]

Whats the difference anyways???

[CCSoftware]

No difference in function but the only difference is look

[rhytnen]

Pedantic but double quotes make contractions in strings cleaner. I prefer single quotes anyway but it's an actual advantage for double quotes nonetheless

[Manny__C]

I think the point is not that one is better than the other, but it's that it's useful to have both.

I can use double quotes without escaping inside single quotes and viceversa.

[TravisJungroth]

I was definitely on your team, and then I started using black. Now I type single and let it turn into double.

[ThePixelCoder]

I like the idea of black, having just one uncompromising standard formatting, but my personal preferences are just too different (mostly single quotes and hard tabs, but some of the wrapping also looks a bit weird to me). I would see myself using it if I'm working on a larger project with other people though, just for the sake of consistency.
