  1. In Topic: Error running Python IDLE

    A few links to look at:

    Sadly you don't tell us what OS you are running on but I guess by the look of the screen shot that you are on Windows.

    I don't really get what you were trying to say.


    Do you understand the term 'flag'?

    I am not sure how much shared language we have here.

    Here's the very simple algorithm I am suggesting.

    foundName = false
positionInLoop = 0
loop through the name list
    if current list item == name then
        foundName = true
        positionInLoop = loop iterator
        break out of loop

if foundName == true then
    print PositionInLoop
else
    print -1


    This is a terrible way to find a match in a list in Python but I am assuming you are using the looping idea because you have been told you have to.

    If you just want to find an item in a list then there are far better ways to do this.
    Have a read here

  3. In Topic: a program that change the program to an execution program

    Posted 17 Apr 2013

    Once you have compiled the code to a binary that binary will run on any machine.

    You don't need an IDE to run code.

    I wonder if I am missing the point of your question completely?

    helping out does not cost anyone anything


    Well it does cost your classmates the credit they deserve for doing the work if you can get the same mark without putting in the effort.

    And in the long run it costs you because you will one day end up needing to be able to live up to what it seems you can do and since you can't then you will lose then.

    Have a try at writing the Python code. If you won't even try then we really can't help you.

  5. In Topic: Error through looping

    sorry - didn't understand what you were asking the first time.

    okay you won't know if the name was not in the list until you have finished looping through the whole list. That makes sense doesn't it?

    So set a flag to false before you start looping.
    If you find a name set the flag to true before you break out of the loop.

    Outside the scope of the loop test the flag.
    If it is true then the name was in the list.
    If it is false then... <you can answer that can't you?>

    It's not that I don't get comments left but usually they aren't very nice (because I am not very nice) so I delete them.
    Thanks for 'hi'.

    I don't see how you don't have any comments. I'll be the first to say hi.
