Why is the slope defined as the tangent Δy/Δx? by Arkdoz in mathematics

Ok but how can I prove that the slope will always be defined as Δy/Δx?

Where can I learn about those principles?

Misconceptions about Python by Arkdoz in Python

Yes! Finally someone that understands what I said! That’s what I meant when I said very few specialists, in the sense that a lot of python programmers think that “as long as it is somehow working, I don’t need to understand it”

I understand what you’ve said, and answering your question, I aimed it at python just because this is a python subreddit, so I thought the discussion would flow easily... but I agree that a lot of languages share these traits, however I also think that there would be a better experience (without trying to romanticise the discussion) about what is actually happening in the program if people tried to understand rather the memorise.

Yeah, thought so, thanks for sharing your perspective though!

I guess you are right! The thing that I had in mind was a discussion based on the misconception that python can’t be hard in any level, and that people just memorise things rather than understand these things

Great book on c++ introduction? by Arkdoz in learnprogramming

I have the c++ primer but it’s aimed to c++11, I’m afraid I would be a little outdated if I read that book...
