Just starting

[safe rampart]

i cant really grasp what the first exercise: guido's gorgeous lasagna is asking me to do, im not sure why, i just really cant understand it. i know loops, dicts, nested dicts, lists, ifs and elses, i dont know functions and i dont understand how to start.

[craggy lantern]

did you read the introduction? it gives a pretty good explanation of function and how to use them

[safe rampart]

yeah i kinda got a hang of them

but i kinda dont get the exercise and the way they playfully ask questions

i cant just get

"if u input this, get these results"

and leave me to write everything on my own

idk im confused

very

[craggy lantern]

the exercise have a very details instruction of how to write and solve the problem since this is a learning exercise

each task also have hint that you can reveal to help further

[opal turret]

Can you show us what you've tried so far?

[safe rampart]

thing is, idk what to try, what to do
i bet i can do them i just dont know what im expected to do and how exactly

[opal turret]

it's just a play with numbers you don't need really anything from the things you listed except for knowledge about how functions work

Ok then read the first task carefully and check the example

or also the instructions if theres still holes you can ask about these holes

we might be able to explain it in a simpler way

[safe rampart]

well i will run through the instructions once again and ask if there's anything

thanks

Also try reading and understanding the tests 🙂

@opal turret
does this mean that i have to do elapsed_bake_time int input and do elapsed_bake_time - EXPECTED_BAKE_TIME?

@bold mist

sorry for pinging

[craggy lantern]

yes

[opal turret]

yeah

[safe rampart]

thanks!

[bold mist]

Did you get it to work, @safe rampart ?

[safe rampart]

i ammm working on another group of exercises :D im keeping it for somewhere in the future, i just really dont like how its all written

im sure its good but

[bold mist]

Different styles work well for different people

[safe rampart]

im used to a format they give me in some other places

[safe rampart]

thats true but the idea itself looks too good to pass on

so i will just leave it for later since i was in the middle of doing some exercises

anddd check it out after
