  1. In Topic: how can i check what type is in a list?

    Posted 19 Apr 2012

    Python provides a built-in function type(object) that will return object's type, whether it be string, integer, or user-defined. If you wanted to print the type of each object in a list, I would recommend taking an approach similar to this:

    for item in list:
    print "%s -> %s." % (item, type(item))

  2. In Topic: Printing a parameter

    Sorry to say, I wouldn't use Brewer's approach. That style of String formatting was deprecated as of Python 2.6, which means it won't be supported in later versions.

    Most of Python DOCS seems to be down tongiht, but I did find this link confirming it. It's under the section "Changes Already Present In Python 2.6".


    Hmm, that is interesting. I'll admit that I'm not terribly familiar with Python 3. +1

    The new formatting syntax looks incredibly un-Pythonic. They should have stuck with the modulo syntax.

    I signed up for the CS101 class and some of the students have started some IRC channels for people to continue discussions on freenode ##udacity-cs101. I've been looking for an excuse to learn Python and this seemed like that perfect opportunity.


    What's your IRC handle?

    EDIT: The site is now up! Good luck soldiers.

    It is also worth noting that there has been a discussion on Google+ where someone has supposedly taking on the task of setting up a mirror site for people in countries that, for whatever reason, can't access Udacity.com. More info on this should be available in the days to follow.
