  2. There are a lot of topics missing like classes, functions, loops, modules, etc. There are a lot of other Python tutorials here, especially the one with 38+ million views named Free Code Camp Python! It's four years old, but everything still works. I can't post the link because it keeps getting removed, but you should see it immediately in the results.

  5. There is a rule when you want to concatenate a string data type with an integer data type: you can't concatenate different data types - the data type must be a string. You can use type coercion to convert an integer into a string using str(): characterAge = 500 print( 'Belle Delphine is ' + str(characterAge) ) # using str() to convert the integer print( f'Belle Delphine is {characterAge}' ) # f-strings are the newest way actualAge = 26 age = 500 math = 1000 print( actualAge + age + math ) # 1526 print( str(actualAge) + str(age) + str(math) ) # "265001000 Concatenating is the old way and it looks ugly with all those plus signs. I recommend using the new f-strings: actualAge = 26 age = 500 math = 1000 print( f"I am {actualAge} No, I really am {age} OK I am definitely {math} ) VS print( "I am " + str(actualAge) + "No, I really am " + str(age) + " OK I am definitely " + str(math) ) age = 500 game = 'Elden Ring' name = 'Batman' print( f"My name is {name} and I'm {age} years old. My favorite game is {game}" ) VS print( "My name is " + name + " and I'm " + str(age) + " years old. My favorite game is " + game )

  6. He did on his website but it's the same as you see here. Only nine lessons, but I think he quit likely because the view counts were too low. There are a lot of other Python tutorials here, especially the one with 34 million views named Free Code Camp Python! It's four years old, but everything still works.

  7. I prefer f-strings too. I guess it's up to viewers to also research on their own if they're really serious to learn more.

  8. You have to use a dictionary. A dictionary is a key:value pair. Think of it as a phonebook. Here's how the coffee shop using a dictionary would look: starbucks = { 'Belle Delphine Latte': 1500, 'Cardi Cappuccino': 1234, 'Drake Special': 1000, } choice = input('Pinhead asks you what your pleasure is? ').title().strip() print( 'The', choice, 'costs $' + str(starbucks[choice]) )

  9.  @kcitlearning1640  I think Chuck will cover lists and dictionaries soon. In the meantime, learn more about them and keep practicing. All the best!

  10. That's what I said! How can we expect to learn a programming language from someone who doesn't even know first grade math?!! Like FR WTF?!! SMH 🤦‍♂ He has a wife and five daughters too.

  11. input() returns any integer you enter like 300 into a string type so 5 becomes '5' (remember that strings are enclosed in quotes). int() converts the '5' into an integer so it becomes 5. When you want a name, for example, don't use int() because a name like 'Belle' can't become an integer. When you want a number, for example, you can use int(): age = int( input('Your age? ') ) When you want a number, for example, you can also just use input(): age = input('Your age? ') The main difference is the first method allows you to easily use the age variable and use math on it, but not on the second method: age = int( input('Your age? ') ) # type 300 print(300 + age) # 600 VS. age = input('Your age? ') # type 300 print(300 + age) # error because you can't add integer 300 and string '300' So which to use? When should you use int() or input()? Practice and experiement more. You will gain more experience with time. I recommend you to learn about try/except in Python as this will help a lot.

  13. It seems Chuck has unfortunately stopped, but there are a lot of other Python tutorials here, especially the one with 33 million views! It's four years old, but everything still works. Take this as you will, but it would suck if you quit learning now.

  15. order = ['Double Glazed Pink Coffee', 'Sushi Expresso'] choice = input('What would you like? ') quantity = input('How many? ') if int(quantity) > 1: # if quantity is greater than 1 print(f'You ordered {quantity} {choice}s') # f-strings else: # if quantity is 1 or less than 1 print(f'You ordered {quantity} {choice}') Look up f-strings (the newest way) which were used instead of concatenation which is the old way.

  16. ​ @BadRay27  Nice! A dictionary is a useful way to pair whatever to whatever. You can pair phone numbers to names, pair ratings to movies, pair GPAs to students, pair prices to drinks, etc. models = { 'Belle Delphine': 5, 'Kim Kardashian': 4, 'Anita Sarkeesian': 5 } print('Belle Delphine, Kim Kardashian, or Anita Sarkeesian') choice = input('Who is the prettiest? ') print( 'You chose', choice, 'who is rated a', models[choice] ) models is a variable that has the dictionary of those three girls. The string 'Belle Delphine' is a key with the value of integer 5. The string 'Kim Kardashian' is a key with the value of integer 4. The string 'Anita Sarkeesian' is a key with the value of integer 5. Let's type in 'Belle Delphine' (without the quotations). You get 'You chose Belle Delphine who is rated a 5' Where did 5 come from? models[choice] equates to models['Belle Delphine'] which equates to 5 because 'Belle Delphine' has the value of 5. So, let's try the order: drinks = { 'Coke': 100, 'Pepsi': 99, 'Sprite': 5 } order = input('What would you like? ') quantity = input('How many? ') total = drinks[order] * int(quantity) # use int() to convert the string into an integer print('You ordered', quantity, order, 'and the total is', total)
    2
  17. You can use int or float functions to convert integers and floats: total = 133.70 sushi = 100 print( int(total) ) # 133 print( float(sushi) ) # 100.0 We think we should get 134 when we use int(total), but Python omits everything after the decimal and just leaves the whole number. If you wanted 133.799999999 to be rounded, use the round function: total = 133.76543 print ( round(total) ) # 134 print ( round(total, 1) ) # 133.8 print ( round(total, 2) ) # 133.77 print ( round(total, 3) ) # 133.765 print ( round(total, 4) ) # 133.7654 The number in the round function specifies the decimal place to round to. The round function has a default number of zero.

  18. Nice! But both are good. Where the problem arises in your way and his way is that the entire program can break if someone inputs a string. Afterall, we are all human and don't always follow instructions. Because of this, you should almost always include exception handling like try/except when you prompt for input. Hopefully, one day Chuck will cover try/except.

  20. Friendly tip: Anything enclosed with quotes is seen as a string, even spaces. The only time when this doesn't apply is when nothing is enclosed. This is called an empty string. So don't confuse a space as an empty string because the space is a string character.

It also could have been written like this: order = input( f'{name} what would you like to order? Here is what we are serving: {menu}' ) ^I'm using the new f-strings as concatenating is super old.

  26. Nice! I hate concatenating and type coercions.

  27. Friendly tip: look up f-string as it has replaced concatenation. Concatenating is pretty old and requires extra work because of converting nonstrings into strings via the str() function.

  29. Friendly tip: we now use the new f-strings which was introduced in version 3.8. Concatenation is pretty archaic, confusing to read, requires extra work, and so 1990s. That said, your error is in the following: You have to remember that the input function always returns a string data type. Hence why you got 11111111 because typing 1 is not an integer data type, it's a string data type '1' Notice the quotes; they signify that '1' is a string data type. print ("your " + order + " will cost " + (8 * Quantity) + "$ \n ") Because you're concatenating, you need to convert Quantity into an integer data type by using the integer function: print ("your " + order + " will cost " + ( 8 * int(Quantity) ) + "$ \n ") Now run it. Did you get an error? You have to go the extra step by converting the value into a string data type because concatenating only works for string data types by using the string function: print ("your " + order + " will cost " + str( ( 8 * int(Quantity) ) ) + "$ \n ") Now everything works. Using f-strings, it would look like this: print ( f"your {order} will cost { 8 * int(Quantity) } $ \n ") Read the following to learn more about f-strings: There is a rule when you want to concatenate a string data type with an integer data type: you can't concatenate different data types - the data type must be a string. You can use type coercion to convert an integer into a string using str(): characterAge = 500 print( 'Belle Delphine is ' + str(characterAge) ) # using str() to convert the integer print( 'Belle Delphine is', characterAge ) print( f'Belle Delphine is {characterAge}' ) # Above, f-strings are the newest way since version 3.8 VS version 3.6 that Mike used # As you can see, concatenation is archaic as f-strings are preferred. Just imagine how ugly having # a bunch of + symbols would be! Explanation: age = 46 print('Batman is aged: ' + age) ^Why do we get an error? Because Python hates concatenating different data types. In order to concatenate, all the data types must be a string data type! 46 is an integer data type. To change the type, we can use str(variable here): age = 26 print( 'Batman is aged: ' + str(age) ) print( f'Batman is aged {age}' ) age = input('How old are you? ') # let's input a number 100 print('Frank Castle is aged: ' + age) ^Why do we not get an error? Because Python loves concatenating the same data type which is the string data type. '100' is a string data type because it has the quotes. 100 looks like a number (just ask anyone you see) but whenever you use the input() function to get user input, anything the user types in automatically becomes a string data type.

  34.  @arctichawkmedia5387  Nice! Concatenation is old. I prefer the comma or the new f-strings: characterAge = 500 print( 'Belle is ' + str(characterAge) ) # using str() to convert the integer print( 'Belle is', characterAge ) # i prefer the comma way print( f'Belle is {characterAge}' ) # f-strings are the newest way

  42. Yes: 5/1 # 5.0 You could do a double // to get an integer, but both numbers have to be whole numbers: 5//1 # 5 80//5 # 16 Any number that is a float, you will always get a float as the answer: 5/1.0 # 5.0 5//1.0 # 5.0 80.0//5 # 16.0 You could use type coercion functions: int( 5/1 ) # 5.0 becomes integer 5 float( 5//1 ) # 5 becomes integer 5.0 age = input( 'Your age? ' ) Type in 300. It's not 300 as an integer, but it's '300' as a string because the input() always returns a string. You can then use int(age) to make it integer 300 or float(age) to make it float 300.0 You could also shorten it: age = int( input( 'Your age? ' ) ) age = float( input( 'Your age? ' ) )

  43. Nice! Tip: Something Chuck hasn't covered yet, but you can use the lower method in your enjoy variable. This eliminates the need for your three IFs and makes your code cleaner (DRY, Don't Repeat Yourself is something experienced programmers practice). if enjoy.lower() == "thank you": print("No problem!") What would happen if Brock typed 'ThAnK yOu!?' You could write instructions like 'Don't type in MiXeDcAsE,' but we humans don't always follow instructions well. The lower method coverts whatever Brock typed into lowercase.

  46. Want to see something cool? Because no human can be 50.25 years old, how do you get rid of the decimals? import math # use the math library. it has a lot of math related functions and methods x = math.floor(50.25) / 2 # math.floor(50.25) is 50 so x = 50 / 2 x = 25.0 # no human can be 20.0 years old x = int(x) # x = int(25.0) use int() to convert the float into an integer print(x) # 25 math.floor() always rounds the whole number down: math.floor(3.14159) # 3 math.floor(99.999) # 99 math.floor(123.5) # 123 Want to always round up? math.ceil() always rounds the whole number up: math.ceil(3.14159) # 4 math.ceil(99.999) # 100 math.ceil(123.5) # 124 Want to round like a normal person? Use the round() function (this is not within the math library, but a native built-in function): round(3.14159) # 3 round(99.999) # 100 round(123.5) # 124

  60. Nice, but a small mistake: print("Great, that will be " + (price * number ) + "$" + " here is your " + item + " enjoy!!!") You have to convert the number variable into an integer: print("Great, that will be " + price * int( number ) + "$" + " here is your " + item + " enjoy!!!") And it's recommended to use the new f-strings because concatenation has been outdated and requires unnecessary work: print( f"Great, that will be {price * int( number )} $ here is your {item} enjoy!!!" )

  65. Nice observation! You can use either float or int, but let me ask you this: would Belle order 13.37 number of coffee? Or would she order 13 number of coffee? In this scene, using int would make more sense than float. But there's a problem; use int and type in 13.37 You will get an error because int doesn't understand 13.37 because it's expecting an integer like 13 So your way of using float is better because whether Belle orders 13 or 13.37 number of coffee, there will be no error.
