Jun 16, 2012 · Python is dynamically, but strongly typed, and other statically typed languages would complain about comparing different types. There's also the else clause: # This will always print either "hi" or "no hi" unless something unforeseen happens. if hi == "hi": # The variable hi is being compared to the string "hi", strings are immutable in Python ...

Jun 17, 2011 · Functions, in Python, are first class objects - which means you can pass a function as an argument to another function, and return functions. Decorators do both of these things. If we stack decorators, the function, as defined, gets passed first to the decorator immediately above it, then the next, and so on.

From the Python 3 docs: The power operator has the same semantics as the built-in pow() function, when called with two arguments: it yields its left argument raised to the power of its right argument. The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type, and the result is of that type. It is equivalent to 2 16 = 65536, or pow(2, 16)

Apr 25, 2017 · It's an operator in Python that can mean several things depending on the context. A lot of what follows was already mentioned (or hinted at) in the other answers but I thought it could be helpful to provide a more extensive summary. % for Numbers: Modulo operation / Remainder / Rest. The percentage sign is an operator in Python. It's described as:

Apr 3, 2014 · The other case involving print >>obj, "Hello World" is the "print chevron" syntax for the print statement in Python 2 (removed in Python 3, replaced by the file argument of the print() function). Instead of writing to standard output, the output is passed to the obj.write() method. A typical example would be file objects having a write() method.

Jun 14, 2024 · On Python 3 the calculation yields 6.75; this is because the / does a true division, not integer division like (by default) on Python 2. On Python 2 1 / 4 gives 0, as the result is rounded down. The integer division can be done on Python 3 too, with // operator, thus to get the 7 as a result, you can execute: 3 + 2 + 1 - 5 + 4 % 2 - 1 // 4 + 6

Nov 25, 2023 · x = 4 tells Python that x is equal to 4. Nothing else is displayed because it is just a command. x == 4 on the other hand is asking if x is equal to 4. When we ask a question, the Python shell will tell us the answer, so it prints True.

Sep 2, 2017 · I apologize if this is a silly question, but I have been trying to teach myself how to use BeautifulSoup so that I can create a few projects. I was following this link as a tutorial: https://www.y...

Python requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool : Max retries exceeded with url: [Errno 111] Connection refused) 5 ConnectionResetError: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

@KirillTitov Yes python is a fundamentally non-functional language (this is a purely imperative coding - and I agree with this answer's author that it is the way python is set up to be written. Attempting to use functionals leads to poorly reading or non-pythonic results. I can code functionally in every other language I use (scala, kotlin ...
