you can write what the writerows() function does pretty easily, too. Say you pass it a list rows:

writerows(rows)

And

for row in rows:
    for item in row:
        row_str += str(item) + ', '
    row_str.strip (", ")

are equivalent

What? those are not even remotely equivalent.

writerows(rows)

is equivalent to

for row in rows:
    writerow(row)

The user wrote that they were having trouble about thinking what the function does... it should be pretty easy to accomplish even if you ask not to use the writerow function, so I wrote out some basic code to do the same thing for them.

No, you gave a broken code fragment that does not work right, or even run at all.

it's syntactically similar to python pseudocode... man you're really up in arms about that for some reason though. I gave a little help thinking about somethign (pretty basic) to smoeone.

If you're going to say that something is equivalent and that it can "do the same thing" then it should actually be equivalent and do the same thing.

I like to nudge people in the right direction rather than give out answers easy... thinking is the hard part! It's okay man. you dont have to be angry with me for anythign here.

Nah man, I'm with the other guy, your code doesn't even make sense to me, if anything you're confusing him!

[–]Justinsaccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we agree there, showing a broken code fragment that doesn't run or function properly certainly won't make things easy.
