My good people of NL.

*
i got some videos on python programming last week and the tutorial was going fine as expected but i had a problem in the second chapter "FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAMMING" in this topic "using loops in python".since yesterday i started this loop of a topic in python,am not getting a bit of it.
*
its as if its entering one ear and coming out of the other.
*
am 17 years old and i have been offered admission to study economics at the uni but am yet to resume cos of ASUU strike and am learning python to use it for data analysis/science in the future.
*
i heard we guys studying management and social science courses might need a bit of coding skills.

how do i understand looping in python?
i would be glad if this can be moved to FP.

If you are finding it to learn....then transfer me the opportunity and i would use it wisely.

Looping in python has to be the easiest.
names=["ade","Babs","Sola"]
for name in names:
print(name)

What's the output of this code?

THAT WOULD BE
Ade
Babs
Sola

I'm learning JavaScript and I have had times when a seemingly hard concept eventually clicked.It was like a moment of revelation.
Moral of my story:
Keep striving,it will eventually click.
Thanks.

Just one week? Keep learning. Some concepts will take months to finally click

Learn it through python animation library called manim. It will be very interactive and you will learn the concept of object oriented programming easily.

https://vocal.media/education/creating-animation-in-python-using-manim-library.
Run it in your browser through google colab as in the tutorial

I will teach you all you need to know to get started for a small fee...If you are interested, pls contact me on this number 08037379460 either on-call or WhatsApp so that we can talk better.

for loop: assuming you know the range of loop.
# you want to perform an action for a known number
# of times

#ex1

list_ = ['c', 'l', 'a', 'a']
for x in list_:
print(x)
>>>c
l
a
a
If you want it on the same line
print(x, end="" )
>>>class

#ex2

days_ = [1, 2, 3, 4]
for x in days_:
print(f"Number {x} is awesome" )
>>>Number 1 is awesome
Number 2 is awesome
Number 3 is awesome
Number 4 is awesome

# while loop
# number of loop not known, want to perform an
# action for an unknown number of times

While True:
x = int(input())
y = x * 10
print(y)
if y == 60:
break
else:
continue

Sorry!

Quite trying to learn python now. You are eventually going to learn it but I'll advise you start with Language like Java first. When you understand a Language like that Understanding Python would come easy to you.

Lol You've just used 2 days now..Keep on trying and trying..You will get it

can i use java for data science?

can i use java for data science?

The recommended languages are JavaScript, R, Python and SQL. That's what I am learning.

where do u learn?
online or physical class?

IamBabsjnr:

Yes, Just that it's not used widely so you would be limited with tools unlike the much tools you'll get if you using Python.

If I had a million items I wanted to loop through I would list them out like this?!

IamBabsjnr:

Physical class. Mehn these guys are good. I can only learn online if I want to take international certification exams.

pls where do you do your class?

IamBabsjnr:

can i use java for data science?

Yes, with the help of some technologies like NF4J, Apache Mahout, Hadoop etc

airsaylongcome:

That's could be slow, preferable you can iterates through numbers using the ndarray(numpy) That will be more faster for an item of millions

IamBabsjnr:

Owerri, IMO State. Anyone that can teach you the CONCEPT and practical application of programming is good. Things will then flow easily for you. Don't follow the bandwagon mindset, identify your area of concentration and make the programming language or technology work for you. Read updated journals or articles about what you are learning and that way, you will easy get a job, because recruiters or clients go for what makes a difference.

Look u can start learning programming from any language,
me i started with pascal, d topics i understand well were
Hello word & variables
if & case statement
i never understood looping, but then i still continue with other topics, it was later dat i switch to C programming then i began to learn loop and others e.t.c.

So u can skip loop,

Python is easy so as most programming languages.
But you could learn it more easily by creating something like animation using libraries like the following tutorial:

Learning Python may seem challenging initially, but perseverance is key. Start with basic concepts like variables, loops, and functions. Utilize online resources like tutorials and interactive platforms to practice coding. Break down complex problems into smaller tasks for better understanding. Engage with the Python community, seek help when needed, and participate in coding challenges. Consistent practice and hands-on projects enhance your skills. Consider enrolling in a structured Python course for beginners to receive guided instruction and build a strong foundation.

Find a tutor. You can't learn Python by watching YouTube videos alone. You need someone to put you through.

Learning Python programming can be challenging, especially if you're new to programming or haven't used a similar language before. Python's syntax and concepts might seem unfamiliar at first, leading to confusion and frustration. However, with the right approach and resources, you can overcome these difficulties.

One common hurdle is understanding the fundamental concepts, such as variables, data types, loops, and functions. It's crucial to practice regularly and reinforce your learning with exercises and projects. Additionally, seeking help from online tutorials, forums, and communities can provide valuable insights and support.

Another aspect to consider is finding the right Python training in Noida. Look for courses that offer a structured curriculum, hands-on projects, and experienced instructors. These programs can help you grasp the concepts more effectively and provide guidance tailored to your learning needs. Remember, learning a new skill takes time and persistence, so don't get discouraged if you face challenges along the way. With dedication and the right resources, you can become proficient in Python programming.
