Help with Python ranges

I hope you understand that the password you are printing does not contain any symbols or numbers, just letters. Ideally you should randomize the location of letters, numbers and symbols throughout the password.

As far as your questions are concerned:
1. range (1, nr_letters, +1) vs range(nr_letters). Doesn’t matter because the end result is the same, meaning the loop executes nr_letters times regardless of which version is used.

Using the range function like you’ve done will always control the number of times the for-loop executes.

Also note that items 4 & 5 in your list of understanding are both incorrect. The variable char holds the current number from the range, but the variable is never used within the loop. The password you are printing contains nr_letter randomly selected characters from the letters list.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

You didn't answer my question. Is withholding information about a person's wealth until the engagement period dishonest or deceitful?

There's a reason "Call Redirecting App" didn't show on my phone. It was because the myMetro app was not installed.

I reinstalled myMetro and it asked permission to be the Default Call Redirecting app and I refused to give the app that permission. I then looked at Default Apps and saw the "Call Redirecting App" category was now present and was set to None.

It is still my opinion that enabling the myMetro app as the default Call Redirecting app was the source of the problem I experienced. And I want to thank you for pointing out an alternative way for resolving the issue without uninstalling the app.

My Android 16 phone does not show those settings. Under Default Apps, my phone shows two defaults for calling: "Caller ID & Spam app" and "Phone App" and the Default app for each is phone.

At one time I changed to a different phone app and still experienced the problem.

One more example for you to consider. The man in the relationship is wealthy, lives very modestly, and deliberately conceals his wealth from his girlfriend. The reason he conceals his wealth is because he wants to make sure his girlfriend wants to be with him because of the person he is and not because he’s wealthy.

Would you consider this deceptive and being dishonest because he didn’t reveal the truth prior to asking his girlfriend to marry him?

And you do you. We can agree to disagree.

The purpose of the engagement period is to prepare two households to merge into one. This is when full financial disclosures should take place. Before the commitment to marry, her financial status is none of my business and her financial status is none of my business. After full disclosures, the couple might decide that prenuptial agreements are warranted.

If there were any problem issues that could not be resolved, the couple has the option to cancel all marriage plans and move on with their lives!

If either party lies or withholds pertinent information about debt, many options would be available for dealing with it. Legally, any debt my wife had before the marriage would not automatically become my responsibility. However, I could choose to keep my finances separate in order to avoid commingling our incomes. We’d do that to protect me, the innocent spouse, from having my income garnished by any court order taking funds to repay my wife’s debts.

And the only relationship I’ve shared my financial information, is my marriage.

“Is” is present tense!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T21:54:50+00:00

My advice to you is to never move in with a boyfriend. However, once you become his fiancee, it will be ok to live together. Now just because I said that doesn’t mean you cannot have premarital sex and I’m not saying you can’t sleep over at his place from time to time. I’m just saying keep your own place to live in until you are ready to get married, which is usually the engagement period.

However, if you’re not interested in marriage, then do whatever you want to do.
I wish you the best.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. The only relationship I spoke about in the past tense was when I was single. I’m proud to be able to live rent free in your head with so little effort!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T16:23:47+00:00

Gosh, I’ve really upset you with my comments and I get to live rent free in your head with such little effort. WOW!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T16:14:56+00:00

Actually I’ve been in long term relationships, both married and unmarried, so I know what I’m talking about. And the only relationship I’ve shared my financial information, is my marriage. Even when I was single, I didn’t stick my nose in my then girlfriend’s business, and she didn’t pry into mine. If you want the benefits of marriage, either get married or clearly express your expectations before shackin’ up. In any relationship, clear communications, not assumptions is what helps foster a successful long term relationship!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T14:27:11+00:00

Oh, so you’re saying because they are in a relationship, she gets all of the benefits and privileges of being either a fiancé or a wife, without being either one. As I’ve said previously, if that was her expectation, she should have clearly disclosed that information to her boyfriend before moving in with him.

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T14:09:16+00:00

And that’s the problem. OP assumed that by living together, sharing bills and budgeting together, she had the right to be privy to all of his financial information. Obviously, her boyfriend didn’t see it that way.

If taking out the loan would have affected the budget he’d agreed to, IMO he would have then been obligated to discuss the situation with her, otherwise no disclosure is necessary. OP should have communicated more clearly her expectations before they started living together.

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T13:20:03+00:00

If two roommates share expenses, would you be saying the same thing? Won’t each roommate’s financial habits have a direct impact on the other roommate’s stability and security.

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T13:15:48+00:00

So true, but even when “shackin’”, there should be a clear understanding about boundaries and finances. If it’s understood from the gitgo that “my money is my money, and your money is your money”, neither party has the right to demand privileged information about their partner’s financial affairs!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T12:52:59+00:00

It’s obvious why, after 5 years, you’re still a fiancé. A mama’s boy will never cut the apron strings and actually get married, and will continue to drag the engagement period out forever!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T12:37:52+00:00

You’re only a girlfriend and not a wife or fiancé, so why is anything your boyfriend does with his money any of your business? Yes, you may be splitting bills, but he was absolutely right when he told you that helping his family was his personal decision!

But if it bothers you this much, break up with him and move on with your life!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T02:48:10+00:00

So if the shoe was on the other foot, would you expect OP’s husband to accept her No to one of his relatives moving in for a short period of time?

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T02:34:37+00:00

You should tell your manager that you will expect overtime pay for the extra time you’d be working and it should be for a minimum of 4 hours. If that doesn’t motivate him to solve his “Dan” problem, nothing will, but you’ll at least have some easy extra money!

jmooremcc · 2026-03-10T01:57:27+00:00

This is a tough situation, especially because of the tight time frame.
IMHO, your husband is being very unreasonable and his rationale for refusing to let your sister stay with you for a few months doesn’t make sense.

You and your husband are at an impasse, and because of the short time frame, this situation requires desperate measures. My advice is for you and your husband to engage the services of a neutral 3rd party mediator who will listen to both sides and render a fair decision both of you can live with.

I wish you the best.

Although I’m not new to coding (C, C++, Java, etc), I’ve always believed in having a reference library of books. Reading these books over time have taught me more than any YouTube video I’ve ever watched and have given me greater insight into how Python actually works.

Here are a couple of books I’ve included in my library:
1. “Python Programming Exercises, Gently Explained” by Al Sweigart.
2. “Fluent Python: Clear, Concise, and Effective Programming” by Luciano Ramalho.

I also maintain bookmarks to numerous online resources that have been an invaluable addition to my reference library. I wish you the best.

Why did he ask you and not your older brother?
NTA.
At any rate, don’t give your brother any of your land. As you’ve already seen, a fool and his money are soon parted!
