Python Calculations

Hi
This section would be talking about how python users calculations
Its very symbol once you get know the symbols
* = times
/ = divide by
+ = plus
- = subtract
to essay right, well it gets harder
% = modulo, which means the decimals that are the 'reminder' when you divide
Easy and simple eh

Tutor/Forums

Hi
the Grok Programming had this tutor; this is a really awesome system whereby students like us can submit questions over to them in which they will get back to you an answer you’re questions I didn’t use this service as much as I would of liked but i did use the forums which were more helpful as people posted comments and questions that can be seen by all users and since most of my concerns fall into the FAQ category this was a perfect one stop shop for all my queries, questions, and doubtful points

Last Programing Talk

Hi!
As the Grok Program comes to a close, I thought it was appropriate to have a talk about how I go through my problems
My personal problem solving methodology therefore, the way I go about in answering the problem
As stated perversity my favourite program to code for the Grok was the diamonds one since it was really satisfying seeing the end result
I break down the problem into parts
The first being
Analysing what the issue is asking me what information can get out of the problem (perimeters numbers etc)
Next
Placing all these variables/inputs x=/ y=, etc up the top
Then slowly getting the code to break down one problem and then the next
And slowly but steadily your code should come to life (plus a few issuers as well)

Comments in Grock

Hi
again for the Grok programming code, my comment used, admittedly has been minor however the tasks in winch I did use the comments, they were very extensive(if i do say myself)
lets take a look
NB: in python # symbolizes that that line is a note

 <-- this note is what grok use to remind you of which code you are working on
<-- the next note is telling me and other coders where I define my variables
<-- this note says where my if and else statements are








this update on how I use comments in the Grok programing was brought to you by saile'm chips; nothing say saile'm like our chips

The For stament

Hi, Red here
I stumbled across this website
it talks about for stamens and how they are used; I personally found it very useful
I would like to get my thoughts on this website and for statements themselves;
The for statement like the website is extremely useful
The website talks about the syntax and the way to use the for statement
The for statement is used to loop a piece of program while and object runs true e.g. an input has the letter 'a' in it
Therefore making it a useful tool to continue running pieces of code
What I think is even cooler you can have your if and while statements inside your for loop, how awesome is that!

My Program

Hi,
Once more Grok program I want to talk briefly about the most satisfying program to complete
By far it had to be the diamonds one
The luring program got us to code for asterisks in the shape of diamond
Kind-a like this:

This did take a long time
But by using my problem solving methodology (sorting out variables, code and analyzing the problem) I finally worked it out
