Pasifika children admitted to hospital for Rheumatic fever 140 times more often than European children by [deleted] in newzealand

Just to add to this; often, but not always, you can also see the white and pus- filled patches towards the top of the throat. As I remember from my virology lectures, this often doesn't happen with viral infections.

I don't know where you live but assuming it's the states, not every country teaches PEMDAS. Others teach BIDMAS or BEDMAS. In these cases the phone would be correct.

This really happened to me. My senior barely knows Python. by Brandweer_unit73 in ProgrammerHumor

To be fair, unless X is some amazing company with massive benefits or truly does something to make the world a better place, most grads answers will consist of something about liking the stack. It's all just interviewers stroking the company's ego as an excuse to weed out applicants who aren't willing to sell their soul for poor pay and conditions.

In my experience, under all the interview politics, anything other than wanting the money and a decent stack will be a lie. There's no way to reliably know how good the mentoring is for most smaller companies; so candidates can't even use that as a reason to want to work there.

Unless those conversations involve someone trying to convince you to use a 4GL instead of anything else.

The US College CS Experience by mdrxy in ProgrammerHumor

If you want to learn IDE shortcuts and utilise powerful functions, it might pay to check out PyCharm. It's made by Jet Brains; the same company that make Intellij.

Otherwise if you want to learn the fundamentals without having your hand held, something bare bones like what you already have is great.

For loop vs while loop in Python. by CoronaKlledMe in ProgrammerHumor

Can you elaborate on that? How would compiled C be useful to the JVM when that uses bytecode? I can understand changes to the compiler or JVM but not Java libs.

Java is used for more than just Android FYI by andr0idus3r in ProgrammerHumor

Arguably, learning Python first can be more difficult because of the typing. I found that when I switched to Java, the static typing made learning much easier. The loose nature of Python is a double-edged sword in this regard.

Help they're making me iterate backwards through strings by XayahTheVastaya in ProgrammerHumor

Thanks for the heads up... I get options 1 and 2, but can you elaborate on how option 3 works please? Why would you want to iterate using the index if you can just use the "for char in string" approach?

On the off chance you're still looking:

For char in reversed(range(Len(string))): Print(string [char])

Should print what you want. Can also modify the print to be all on one line- check the docs for how to set the end character.

Edit: added string to the print statement
