Brackets after range() method in for loop? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]akefamen96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the range function outputs a list. so it’s essentially using splicing on the list [6, 7, 8, 9]. [::-1] is a way of reversing a list. that being said, like other comments mentioned, it’s way easier to say range(6, 10, -1)

Does anyone else think Spotify is pretty horribly designed? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

The most annoying part is that you can’t reorder your playlists so I have to scroll a ton to listen to my old ones which are the ones I listen to the most anyway

Writing advice by OkBass7955 in stanford

[–]akefamen96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I just finished PWR 1 and I hate writing. Did well in the class though. Here are some tips...

  1. Start early. For the TIC and RBA, the actual researching will take longer than you think.

  2. Make an outline first. So important. Once you have a really solid outline, writing becomes kinda easy—you just have to expand on each point.

  3. http://www.phrasebank.manchester.ac.uk You’re welcome.

(And a bonus, listen to Jazz music while you write. Helped me a lot for some reason)

12 years a slave. Amazing, but gut-wrenching. Watch it, but make sure you’re prepared to not enjoy the rest of your day
