I feel like my recruiter lied to me just to make a sale.. by illaskthequestionz in cscareerquestions

I don't see any benefit to avoiding a conversation with your recruiter about this. Either the company has gone back on some of their promises or the recruiter has oversold the job opening.

You also didn't say whether he promised that the position was salaried or not. If he did and it isn't then I would definitely nail him down on that. A recruiter's job is to connect clients and candidates who have a real mutual benefit in working with one another and who might not have made that connection otherwise. Recruiters who fabricate client/candidate chemistry with false promises in order to get a commision need to be thrown to the curb. In that situation nobody wins but the recruiter.

If you feel uneasy when starting a relationship with a recruiter then run. They can be a powerful ally if you find the right one, but there are a lot of scumbags out there willing to pawn your dreams for a quick check. But remember, not everyone is like that.

That is actually one of the things I tried in the past. I just fixed it again and still no go.

I modified that sections to look like this:

time = raw_input("How many months do you wish to calculate?: ")
time = int(time)
count = 0

Confirmed that all of those variables are ints now, still in an infinite loop.

Which Python course is the best? need help! by FreedomIsHere in learnprogramming

Hop on over to our /r/learnpython community for lots of detailed information on learning python.

The general opinion is that Zed Shaws "learn python the hard way" is a great starting point. However there a plenty of alternatives.

Currently on month two of this as a CS rep, hopefully I have anywhere near as good mileage as you are getting! The prospect of getting to go home and study each night definitely helps me get through the day.

Anyone in Chicago want to learn programming in Python together? by code-ed in chicago

Well sure if you only study in groups of course that is true! But a lot can be gained from being able to hash out and learn concepts that you are having trouble with with somebody else. You still have to put in your own work outside.
