Doom Metal Alchemist Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I never learned python but I have learned other languages and this frustration is universal to computer programming as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Python is easy relative to other languages apparently so I can't imagine how frustrating the shit you learned is lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I've been debating trying some free courses in it, since I only know SQL & VBA. I tried to get through a book on C+, but found it boring after a couple chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard c++ is really fucking hard lol.if you have experience, I don't think you'll have an issue with python Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C. I studied C far less than I did C++ though. Also, this probably seems counter intuitive, but it might be worth it to learn COBOL. Nobody uses it anymore, EXCEPT like government agencies that have used it absolutely forever and refuse to upgrade their systems (and this happens a ton) and there is a huge shortage of COBOL programmers out there for obvious reasons. I never learned COBOL myself so I don't know how hard it is or isn't compared to other languages, but just thought I'd put that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defining the function was easy. I just can't get the actual code. The function is: Def collatz(number): If number(percent sign)2==o: Return number//2 Else: Return 3*number+1 So yeah I'm sure I just don't know what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was interesting, especially the troubleshooting aspect, but it was part of my Electronics Tech curriculum. If I had it to do over again, I'd have switched to Computer Sciences.

I'll be totally honest idk where to start. I know this doesn't help at all but I'm lost. I have to write a code that allows the user to type in a number that will call that function until the function returns one. I think the first thing I should do is import the function. That's a thing right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the function returning the wrong answer or is the whole program failing to run at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Without knowing anything about python, how are you forcing the entry to be an integer? Suppose the user types a letter or symbol? You'll probably need an error trap. (if that's what they call it in python) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
