Beginner Programming Notes

Python: for loop with range(6)

for i in range(6):
print(i)

# Output: 0 1 2 3 4 5
# range(6) means 0 to 5 (6 excluded)

Python: list.append()

my_list = [1, 2, 3]
my_list.append(4)
print(my_list)

# Output: [1, 2, 3, 4]

Python: random module

import random
print(random.randint(1, 10)) # Random int from 1 to 10
print(random.random()) # Float from 0.0 to 1.0

Python: random.random()

random.random() returns a float between 0.0 and 1.0.


You can scale it:
value = 10 + (20 - 10) * random.random()

C: strcmp()

#include <string.h>
strcmp(str1, str2)
Returns:
- 0 if equal
- <0 if str1 < str2
- >0 if str1 > str2

Terminal: Rename a file

mv oldname.txt newname.txt
# Renames oldname.txt to newname.txt

Terminal: Create folder

mkdir my_folder
# Creates a new folder

Terminal: Open Python file

python3 filename.py
# Runs the file with Python 3

Python: curses example (simplified)

import curses

def main(stdscr):
stdscr.addstr(0, 0, 'Hello from curses!')
stdscr.refresh()
stdscr.getkey()

curses.wrapper(main)
