LPTHW Day 2

Today’s Progress

• ex11: Asking Questions

# end=' ' puts a space after the " ? " AND doesn't go to a newline.
print("How old are you?", end=' ')

# pass age to repr() to get python type
age = input()
print(">> age=", repr(age))

• ex12: Prompting People. In powershell, type “python -m pydoc input”. Look what pydoc command does. input() string has no trailing newline

  #ask a question and get an answer in one line
  age = input("How old are you? ")
  

• ex13: Parameters, Unpacking, Variables. The argv is the argument variable, it holds the arguments you pass to your Python script. Call your script by naming the script and passing the arguments.

#this line unpack...Take whatever is in argv, unpack it, and assign it to all of these variables on the left in order.
script, first, second, third = argv

• ex14: Prompting and Passing. input(prompt)

  print(f"Do you like me {user_name}")
  likes = input(prompt)
  

• ex15: Reading Files

  # print out contents of a file
  txt = open(filename)
  print(f"Here's your file{filename}: ")
  print(txt.read())
  

  Thoughts: Ok, so this was a lot of unpack from asking user questions, assigning that to variables, unpacking and passing arguments, and reading files.
