Hello! Hello! Hello!
I am 14, and I have been learning Python for about 3 months.
I haven't really put much effort into it, but anyway.
I am going to participate in the NZ informatics competition next week.
On their website, it says that I need Python 3.
I have been learning Python 3. something something
Is that ok? Are they the same or different?

Would guys like to suggest anything to me to learn Python?

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.

Go to codewars website. Make an account, say you're interested in just python, and start 'training kata' . Kata = problems, and Dan = difficulty. 8 is the easiest difficulty.

Codewars is good because it tends to have really practical problems. Expect to have to think hard and look up details again constantly. But if you actually start completing problems yourself and doing harder Dan problems, you will be making progress.

Python 3.14 is just the 14th release of Python 3
