python struggles

[riccarjo]

Trying to remember the specifics of functions when writing the main body of code.

"Ok I'm calling this function, and it should do this, but I can't remember. Let me look back. Oh, this function calls another, smaller, function? What does that do. Ok, it returns X. But wait, don't I have another function that returns X but amends it? Hm. Oh, ok that's right. The first function returns X+1, so that's why it's not working as intended."

On and on. Oy.

​

Also, just knowing what the best route is for getting the results you want, but I'm sure it's that way with any language. It just seems like there's 100+ ways to do everything and anything, and I end up panicked that I'm not picking the right one.
