[@mlrk3y858]

I’ve watched many python tutorial for beginners and I must admit- this is not the easiest one to follow. If this is your first time programming, you’re better off starting with the older free code camp video on Python taught by Mike. 1) Starting the tutorial with a program that contains functions before explaining strings and integers is disheartening to new programmers. 2) Moving through the tutorial you provide only brief examples of topics without any exercises. 3) the final exercise is 200+ lines… primarily of classes and functions that you spent 5-10 minutes explaining earlier. The blackjack game would easily take 2 hours if you wouldn’t have sped up the typing Still I much appreciate your effort and will come back to this video after watching more Python tutorials :) Thanks!

[@onahemmanuelaugustine9950]

You are very correct. This is very difficult for any person that is starting as a complete beginner

[@akuno7294]

As a beginner I did the whole 4 hours. The first programm is fun to do, he explains everything and you can figure things out yourself. Then you have nearly 3 hours of classroom-style teaching, where you do nothing and he tells you a million things you never ever heard of. Then you finaly start to code again. The first part "Blackjack beginning" he still explains alot and you can figure things out by jumping back into the last 3h of learning (i used two youtube players for that). After that is just a mess. Several methodes get thrown in you did not learn yet and the coding gets realy fast and realy complicatet. I understand the programm more or less at the and but I couldn't code it myself. The last 30 min or so I didn't even try to do it myself. It would take me forever and I would still be wrong. If anything I would only recomend the first 40 minuets.

[@DarrenValen]

Hey, thanks for this. I'm 56 years old and have an I.T. consulting business.

Anyway I recently got itch to keep learning and landed on Python because is pretty general and popular. I floated a few different videos before I found yours and am so deeply grateful for the fine instruction. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best in life. Thanks a million!

[@PrincessAllie]

I found the first 43 minutes of this to be an INCREDIBLE refresher course on everything I learned at the beginning of the summer and feared I'd forgotten after taking way too much time off. I'm excited to jump back in with the confidence of knowing I don't have to restart at print("Hello World!"). To any beginners who think the first part goes way too fast: hang in there! You don't have to understand everything that's happening. Just type along with him and you'll have something cool in less than an hour. That sense of accomplishment at having completed something is what's needed to drive beginners to keep wanting to learn more complex things. You don't get that by just memorizing the definitions of function and variable. Thanks for all your work on this, Beau!!!

The way I was taught to see the difference between < and > was to remember that the large side of the symbol was facing the largest number. So with > we are checking if the number to the left is greater than the number to the right because the large side is facing that number. Another way of seeing it is that the symbol is trying to eat one of the numbers and it wants to eat the largest piece of the pie.

Hi python is easy or hard

@@roshnikshatriya735 python is generally easier to learn due to its syntax being very easy to digest for beginners.

[@marcususa]

Here is some feedback. These 4 hour tutorials online are very meaty to a beginner. I see great content so far in all of these 4 hour tutorials. The main problem I am having is trying to piece it all together in the way it is presented. So, I end up having to fast forward and rewind. For example, I would rather know how to assign rock, paper, scissors first at 19:25 with explanation of what options means. When you only present rock, the mind wants to know what happened to paper and scissors. So, I don't register what is said between 3:30-19:25. I have to bounce back and forth picking up the commands in the order I need to learn them in. The downside to this on KZbin is 1) I can't easily scroll to the parts because the video is so long in duration. If it were chunked into 30 minute videos, the scrolling back and forth would be easier because jumping from one second to the next would be longer and easier to stop at a specific line in code, 2) if you use the 5 second rewind option you keep having to press it a bunch of times, and 3) KZbin will put ads up while you do this. Sometimes these ads erase some of the rewinding you are doing for some reason. Shortening these videos into 30 minute sections would help immensely. With this video it would be 9 parts. The benefit to the creators of these videos is that you can see what people are spending more time on. To the student, we can watch these videos in bite size pieces instead of being overwhelmed. Also, as I have detailed above, we can scroll back and forth easier if the videos are shorter. If possible, could there be a download .pdf option to get the code so we can see what to expect further down the video "chain" instead of being spoon fed one command at a time? The main problem I think beginners are having is not that we don't understand the commands. We simply don't know how to put together multiple commands to do something productive. So, think of each command like it is a star. You put a bunch of stars together and you get a constellation. I am suggesting presenting the constellation first, so we can see all the commands upfront, what together they are supposed to accomplish, and then discuss each part one by one.

[@BaneOfThanatos]

1} get adblock 2} there's also the J and L key that let you rewind/fast forward by a 10-second margin.

[@marcususa]

@@BaneOfThanatos I don't think adblock blocks the internal ads in the KZbin videos. I am not talking about ads displayed on a webpage. The rewind/fast forward option is also related to the video. That I already tried. As stated, if you do that a few times, you get ads that are embedded in the KZbin videos.

[@solardisk3]

@@marcususa Internal video ads ARE blocked using adblocker on Chrome.

[@marcususa]

@@solardisk3 Ok, I will have to check that out. Right now I am in Linux and on this computer only Chromium is available. But at least it's an option on another computer which has Chrome. However, that still means you have to fast forward a lot to get to 3 minutes later. I would rather eyeball 20-30 minute videos instead of 3 hour videos. Imagine guessing a number between 1-5. You pick 3 to cut it in half. Well, if it is 1-500, then you go with 250. You see, you have to keep guessing if the whole video is uploaded as one gigantic chunk.

Excellent, many thanks Beau. The blackjack example suited (pun, oops!) me perfectly as I've played a lot, and hence am familiar with the game rules and mechanics. Also fits in neatly for a tutorial where just a few classes and methods creates a functional basic game, a nice demonstration of how elegant Python coding can be. And it wouldn't be impossibly difficult to add rules for soft hands, insurance, doubling down, splitting pairs, etc. [EDIT] Also looks like you have 3 enthusiastic young lads there keen to follow in your footsteps, and who will be a big help when it comes to troubleshooting your code in a few years time. :)

The "reduce" example doesn't extend to three items. Try it using : expenses = [("car",80),("supper",20),("lunch",10)] You get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 5, in sum = reduce(lambda a,b: a[1] + b[1], expenses) File "main.py", line 5, in sum = reduce(lambda a,b: a[1] + b[1], expenses) TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

[@joonat5720]

You have a mistake at 3:02:31 line 9. If you add more items in expenses list, the code doesn't work. It gives an error: "TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable". Line 9 should be instead: sum = reduce(lambda a, b: a +b[1], expenses, 0) Where 'a' refers to the accumulated sum so far and '0' is the initial value of the accumulated sum. Or did I understand this wrong?

Thank you so much for this tutorial course! I coded along with your instructions. And after finishing the course I have the strong desire to add to/straighten up the Blackjack game. And I found a 'mistake' in the code: When you check whether there is an ace in the deck, it does not take into account how many aces there were in the deck, it always subtracts ten.

Hi guys, im trying to learn python alone, i have a question. I've watched like 3 tutorials on python, problably like 25 hours all together. I understand everything that he is saying and understand the fundamentals and how you have to specify everything so the computer understands you, but when i try to do something alone im kinda stuck. What am i doing wrong? What should i do? Thanks.

[@eighteen830]

I have motivation behind it, and i really wanna learn it, but feels like im going in circles and not accomplishing anything

[@luongphung3990]

I'm in the same situation. But I think we can improve by practicing with many more exercises. I'm seeing it as learning a language so the more we use it the more fluent we become.

[@BinarySmurf]

@@eighteen830 I've been in a similar position. I suggest you set yourself a small task that would accomplish something helpful to you that is not too hard that you can then solve using Python. For example, one of my first Python programs looped through all the music files in a folder and passed them to ffmpeg for conversion to a different format. This took some time, but I was motivated, and the result was beneficial; I got it done.

[@eighteen830]

Guess the best way to improve is keep on doing some projects and some exercises. Similar to sports, you can watch hours of someone playing but you need to go and do it yourself to learn. It feels hard tho, but i guess it''s the way it is. Thank you all for your answers.

[@lucasharlen6045]

I think you have a basic understanding of syntax and programming principles but you're struggling to apply it to solve a problem that requires data manipulation or an algorithm That's totally normal, I suggest stop watching anymore tutorials, keep trying to solve coding challenges involving python. And remember google is your best friend

"for beginners" erm I don't think so

[@korbanswartz1498]

Ten minutes in and I have no idea what's going on or why. whats a variable? whats defining a function? whats a return? For fuck's sake, dude.

[@korbanswartz1498]

why are things in a certain order? why do we need parentheses? why do all of the people saying this is a good beginners video already know how to code? lol

[@korbanswartz1498]

what's a console? why is there a greeting? this has to be the furthest thing possible from a beginners video.

[@TheFullStack]

This video probably assumes you have previous experience in coding, but they could have informed the viewers... That said (courtesy of ChatGPT): A variable is a value that can be assigned and modified in a program or code. It is used to store data and can be referenced or changed throughout the program. In programming, variables are often used to store values such as numbers, strings, or boolean values. Defining a function means creating a block of code that performs a specific task. It is used to group related code and make it easier to reuse and maintain. A function is defined by giving it a name, specifying its parameters, and writing the code that it executes when it is called. Defining a function allows you to encapsulate a specific set of instructions and reuse it in different parts of your code. A return is a statement used in a function that specifies the value that the function should output or "return" when it is called. It is used to pass data from a function back to the code that called it. When a function is called, it executes its code and then returns a value to the caller. The return statement is used to specify what value the function should return.

[@TheFullStack]

@@korbanswartz1498 In Python, as in most programming languages, things are ordered according to the rules of operator precedence. This means that certain operators are evaluated before others. For example, multiplication and division are evaluated before addition and subtraction. This helps to ensure that expressions are evaluated correctly and consistently. Parentheses are used in Python to group expressions and to override the default operator precedence. By using parentheses, you can specify the order in which operations are performed. This is especially useful when you have complex expressions that involve multiple operators and functions. For example, consider the following expression: result = 2 + 3 * 4 Without parentheses, this expression would be evaluated as follows: result = 2 + (3 * 4) However, if you want to add 2 and 3 first, you can use parentheses to group them together: result = (2 + 3) * 4 This will evaluate to: result = 20 So, parentheses are important in Python to control the order of operations and to ensure that expressions are evaluated correctly.

Great video! It took me 2 hours to make and totally understand the RPS game code, but I learned a ton! Now with the help of Google I modified it so you can play it with 2 people where you don't see what the first person typed in the terminal. Next to that I build a loop that checks if you enter a valid answer (rock, paper, scissors) in the get_choices part.

Hello again, I'm braving the course again 🤗 Thanks again. I wanted to suggest/ request something. I'm now at the 'data-types' section and happily following along. It may be just me but to me it would probably make more sense if you'd give an example here and there, like, what would what we're doing be useful for. Since I'm bad at math it probably is just me and all others who are bad at math but for instance: why would we want the computer to read to an integer as a float? Or make the computer read a name as an integer?
