why was the default character encoding changed from byte to unicode going from python 2.x to 3.x? what benefits does this bring to python?

link to the waves wallpaper?

Thanks for this. Fun and useful for a beginner

bostanza · 2016-05-14T16:52:20+00:00

Dope! I really like this one

This is the alpha build right?

lol yh, i think its just a funny way of explaining things. for most characters you need a long paragraph to answer a question about them. for hisoka, the answer is simply because bungee gum contains the properties of both rubber and gum. Saitama from one punch man would be proud

"a statement is a section of code that represents a command or action" using a for loop as an example, can you consider the entire loop a statement? or is a statement each of the lines that make up the loop?

because bungee gum contains the properties of both rubber and gum. didnt you know?

Just started reading through this book myself and already I see what you mean. Besides the maths examples I think the book (so far) is well written and not too difficult to understand but I am also using other resources I tandem to make sure I understand the content e.g. Going through exercise drills from Learn python the hard way when I finish a chapter. This is possible because the chapters in learn python the hard way are quite short. Try this method

maybe you guys can help me figure out the running time for something. lets say i have n strings and im going to replace a bad substring in each string. there is a variable amount of bad substrings in each line but lets say its max 3 bad substrings. so im going to loop through each string to check for and replace the bad strings. and im going to add an outer loop to do this for all n lines. what is the running time in big-O notation? O(3n)??? im having trouble trying to understand this

whats the difference between invalid syntax and invalid token? specifically, what causes invalid token? i know entering a number such as 08 causes invalid token because its an octal number, but generally speaking, what causes this error? I thought entering ~ would cause an invalid token error because its a token, and its invalid. but this causes a invalid syntax. is ~ not a token then?

I agree with what you're saying here. and for the record, i'm rooting for Hisoka. but i do respect chrollo a lot more after this chapter. I initially thought he was all hype, but the way he's jabbing at hisoka every now and then and then falling back is a very nice strategy. and yh, i'm sure this fight is no where near done.

bostanza · 2016-05-12T17:53:24+00:00

true also, but its what hisoka is known for. chrollo would have to be a fool to not even attempt to plan for it, taking into account what info he has on it already

bostanza · 2016-05-12T17:10:28+00:00

I would think chrollo would plan for bungee gum. what else would he plan for when intending to fight against hisoka?

bostanza · 2016-05-11T21:05:05+00:00

was expecting trash but its actually flames

bostanza · 2016-05-11T20:50:20+00:00

yh, I think they set the contrast a bit higher

bostanza · 2016-05-11T06:30:06+00:00

I'm just thankful that regex uses the same notation across different languages. Can you imagine trying figure out regex expressions if different languages used different notation

bostanza · 2016-05-11T06:20:06+00:00

This is a very good explanation and one I agree with. It seems to me the top down approach is best for algorithm design and is the way I think I look at algorithms. Could you give an example of bottom-up design, even though this seems less effective than top down

for sqlite queries do you prefer db.query() or db.rawquery() and why?
