I am trying to improve my Python skills through some exercises. Currently I am working on Larry's "15 exercises to know a programming language " (http://www.knowing.net/ PermaLink,guid,f3b9ba36-848e-43f8-9caa-232ec216192d.aspx). The first exercise is this:
"Write a program that takes as its first argument one of the words 'sum,' 'product,' 'mean,' or 'sqrt' and for further arguments a series of numbers. The program applies the appropriate function to the series." My solution so far is this: http://dpaste.com/13469/ I would really like some feedback. Is this a good solution? is it efficient? robust? what could be improved? any not looking for a revised solution, hints on what to improve are also very welcome.
