Re: Python list vs google group

I recently posted two questions, but never got any replies. I am still wondering if it was ever posted, or maybe the question was too trivial? I think someone would have at least shouted if it was too trivial or off-topic, right? On Fri, Jun 15, 2018 at 12:03 PM, Mark Lawrence wrote: > On 15/06

Hello all, Thanks for the thoughtful (and non-snarky) replies. First, a suggestion for a documentation change: To this paragraph: *If neither weights nor cum_weights are specified, selections are made with equal probability. If a weights sequence is supplied, it must be the same length as the

Re: Python-list Digest, Vol 171, Issue 7

I think I also came up with 4 as "the most frequent number". It is unclear ot me how you came up with 3.36 as the most common number, because I tried rolling a six-sided die myself several times, and somehow 3.36 didn't come up even once! On Wed, Dec 6, 2017, D'Arcy Cain wrote: > On 12/05/2017 0

I'll answer your question with a couple questions: Why do you expect to get the results you seem to expect? What part of your code should repeat (and why)? A key factor in recognizing the difference between 'if' and 'while' is knowing what effect they have on the indented statements that follow

Hi Roger, Unfortunately you seem to have messed up the quoting (*and* the subject line, and the threading) for this post. The perils of replying to digests. I'll try to repair the worst of the misquoted text as I go, but if I accidentally attribute something I said to you, well, that's only becau

Re: Python-list Digest, Vol 169, Issue 23

The opinions I give in this post are not as strong as the opinions I expressed before about the loop claiming to count all the way to 2**64. But I'll give them anyway. I don't mind having return's inside an if statement, when the function ends with that if statement. It becomes very clear then
