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.

define a variable
pass the variable into a function that checks if a number if odd or even

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:09 AM

#

i think checking if its odd or even is too advanced he didnt teach me that

#

im not on conditionals yet

#

i only know how to make functions and pass in parameter

#

and do inputs

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:10 AM

#

then just take an input
write a function to print the input

Did you do the problem sets in the first lecture?

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:10 AM

empty flame Did you do the problem sets in the first lecture?

im watching the youtube video thouhg

#

where do i find hte probelm sets

chilly warren im watching the youtube video thouhg

yea thats the problem with the youtube one. Learners didn't know that the exercises exist from there. Please use the official website https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/weeks/1/

fuck why did no one tell me there were notes online already

#

i spent 1 hour writing notes

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

chilly warren i spent 1 hour writing notes

dont over do it on the notes, just write what you need, alot of understanding comes with practice

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

That's why we don't recommend people to learn CS50 off of youtube. So much gold nuggets can be found in the official website

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:13 AM

#

i didnt know the notes were already on the website

isnt it the same thing watching the lectures on the website too

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

chilly warren isnt it the same thing watching the lectures on the website too

Yea but as you now know, cant get the notes/slides/problem sets on youtube

#

Or at least, its not obvious

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

all the problems are just asking me to run prewrriten code

#

ima just skip it

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:14 AM

#

what prewritten code?

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

the tip caculaotr

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

Theres no prewritten code in the problem sets

#

oh those... thats fine and normal that you have to practice them anyways

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

i already have some coding experience

#

with lua

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

Its putting what you know about writing functions into practice

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

so functions are alrady familar to me

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

doesnt hurt to practice it in Python

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

its the exact same thing

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

It will probably take what 2 min?

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

i already spent an hour writing down notes i could of got online

writing notes is good for memory

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

sharp badge writing notes is good for memory

i can just review the online ones

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

writing notes is just you retaining knowledge. applying what you know is training a skill

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

i rather just focus on the video instead

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:17 AM

#

video + practice is important

You asked to be given a practice problem. Now its presented to you, you don't wanna do them? smh

causes its not even related to the lesson

#

its asking me to just run code prewrriten

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

chilly warren causes its not even related to the lesson

Its 💯 related to the lesson

#

Its literally by them

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

i already have experience with coding

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

its the first lesson, it doesnt expect you to know whats going on right away

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

I was doing luau before

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

to others it might not be so straight forward, by seeing the output it could help understand whats going on in the code

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

chilly warren I was doing luau before

you should move on to the next lesson

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

Its fine tho. If you wanna skip, skip it.

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

sharp badge you should move on to the next lesson

the next lecture?

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

yea

empty flame Apr 25, 2026, 2:20 AM

there are some things idon tknow

#

or need to review

sharp badge Apr 25, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

if you have programming experience, most of the basics are going to be very familiar, you just need to skim through and familiarise yourself with the syntax

#

and on the stuff you dont know just spend more time on that

chilly warren Apr 25, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

im not gonna stop till i fiinish the cs50 course

#

im just consistent every day
