Hi everyone! I just started learning python and wanted to know if doing this task attached would be difficult for a beginner. Thank you ❤️

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Where did you get this?

[cosmic grotto]

My friend gave it to me to practice with. I’m not sure where he got it from

Is it too difficult for a beginner?

[naive pelican]

So its not difficult but I don't know how beginner are you

Did you at least learn how to use if else, loops, functions and classes?

[cosmic grotto]

I’m learning python now. Very beginner level/starting now. I do know about functions but at the math level not CS level

I’m also planning on finding a tutor to help me learn whatever I lack in

!resources (click on the blue text link below) has a curated list of beginner level materials to learn from. Is your friend teaching you through a book or online resource?

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

He’s not teaching me. I just expressed to him I would like to learn and he said I should try this when I do a few beginner videos on YouTube. I found 30 day python bootcamp online

Thank you for the resources

[naive pelican]

If you prefer videos, I recommend learning from CS50P. Its a course created by Harvard and its free to access and learn with other students in CS50P course (you can also ask the Discord moderator in CS50 server for help if you want and here too).

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate the help! Thank you. Do you recommend I also get a tutor to help with the process?

[naive pelican]

That really depends on your learning ability. I learn better on my own (as in, leave me with the resource materials like videos, articles, documents, and I'll practice on my own)

But, all learners will eventually get stuck on something, and thats when we should always ask for help

Dont really need a tutor.

Just ask from others who knows better. That could be anyone

[cosmic grotto]

I see thank you so much for your advice! I truly appreciate it all

If it’s ok may I ask your help when I attempt to solve that problem above? I would like to attempt it and see if I could do it

[naive pelican]

Just ask a question with details about what you tried, how you tried, what errors you're getting, etc. You're not limited to just my help. This server can volunteer their help to you as and when anyone is available.

So its like you have more than 1 tutor

But not really tutors. Just helpers

For solving this problem, you'll need about 30 days if you're completely new to programming (assuming these datapoints are saved in another file)

[naive pelican]

I gotta go

Good luck!

[cosmic grotto]

Got it thank you so much! I’m going to attempt it first thing in the morning. Thank you for everything I truly appreciate it!

[cosmic grotto]

I see. I’m going to start going at it tomorrow

Thank you 😄

[fluid pawn]

Good luck
