Hello!
I am new to learning Python.
Completing module 1 post assignment.
Hello Khadijdra,
Welcome to the Python forums. Lots of SLU students post intros here (I believe it’s an assignment?) so I copy/paste this reply to give you some basic guidance. I hope you continue to post here when you have Python questions even after your class ends.
This forum is a professional space and we enforce a Code of Conduct. We also have some general forum guidelines.
I highly recommend reading “How to Ask a Good Question” on Stack Overflow for tips on how to efficiently ask effective questions. Often times folks just post, “My program doesn’t work” and their helper (who is providing help for free) has to do the work to ask them questions. It’s much better to provide as much information up front as possible in your first post.
Other vital tips include:
- You should post your Python questions in the Python Help category.
- You should format your code correctly in these forums by having three backtick characters (the backtick key is to the left of the 1 key on the keyboard) on a single line to start the code section, and end if with another set of three backticks on a line. If done properly, it will look like this:
for i in range(10):
print('Hello, world!')
Otherwise, the indentation is lost and it’s impossible to know what your program originally did:
for i in range(10):
print(‘Hello, world!’)
- Be sure to copy and paste the FULL error message (including the traceback and line numbers), or else we don’t know what the actual problem is.
- Write out both what you think the program does and what you intend the program to do.
Good luck on your programming journey!
