hey thanks for the reply,

I was wondering if my code was too mesy with the branched if statements

How may I amend this?

hey again,

I wrote this code.. very quickly and messily.
I would like to 'clean' it up.. that is put some functions in it.

def numWords(aString):
lst = aString.split()
noword = 0
...

Hey thanks for the reply
where exactly did you get the documentation from?

Hey guys,

I'm following a tutorial on Python and I came across this in one of the examples.
import time

today = time.localtime(time.time())
theDate = time.strftime("%A %B %d", today)

print...

Hey guys don't worry i just took some initiative and looked on the starting python thread

Hey guys,
I just wanted to know if anyone recommends an IDE because I am using IDLE and its not really shining.. to me.

Thanks.

Don't worry i figured everything out.

Thanks alot.

I'll be back soon with more questions :)

Bye for now

So does the code you have written works as efective as mine? Do I have to put the if loop?

is it possible to create a looping list?

import time

# a day value of None = >
def dayOfWeek(DayNum = None):
# match day order to Python return values
days = ['Monday','Tuesday',
...

Ok thanks alot I understand now.
thanks again.

Hey guys,

I don't understand the for loop. Could someone explain it to me?

for example

>>> # Measure some strings:
... a = ['cat', 'window', 'defenestrate']
>>> for x in a:
... print...
