How do you make your code flexible? Well, there are many ways to do that, and one of them is by moving one or more of its functionalities outside of it. This makes your code behave dynamically different, based on what it was fed with. Sounds confusing? Yep, that’s what I thought too when I …
Probably one of the most misunderstood (or mysterious) terms in Python are the “args” and “kwargs”, prefixed with a single and double star (*) character respectively, but definitely one of the best features of Python once you understand how it works. If you have not seen this before, here’s a sample code that contains both …
If I’m going to create my own Python Tutorial Course, here’s what I’d probably use as course syllabus: Basics hello, world operators & expressions variables & scope data types type casting data structures value comparison multiple assignment comments user input output formatting indentation decision making (branching) error handling Intermediate function loop args & kwargs importing …
Today we’re going to create a function that you can use in your applications that involves giving users temporary password. It’s not limited to password generation though, you can use this function to generate a meal ticket or transaction number, etc. By the way, this assumes you have read the previous blog. If not, here’s …
A very useful but little known module in Python is the “string” module. It rarely gets attention because Python provides a lot of the functionalities for strings on all string values, but this “string” module is almost always used on a specific use case which I’ll mention later in this blogpost. We don’t even have …
There’s another cool feature in Python that allows us to extend the functionality of an existing function without even modifying it, and I’m talking about “decorators”. So let’s take a super simple example code like this: Just your basic routine, define a function, define some values, call the function and print the result. Nothing spectacular…yet …
One of the great things about Python is that it gives you a lot of tools out of the box that you can use to confidently explore new modules, even without an internet connection. I’m gonna be covering (slightly) two of those tools that I often use when I am using a new module or …
Back in the 90s, BASIC was the programming language you start with in order to learn programming. BASIC actually meant something: Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code and the “B” in BASIC explicitly tells us that. Of course, it’s not the most powerful and most capable when you compare it to Assembly, C, C++ but it …
