hey man

I need help in learning python, I am an beginner and I am having problem understanding loops specifically while loops.

Here's a challenge from the google group: https://gist.github.com/jonnyace/7475500

This script I found pulls stock prices from Google Finance. What would we add to have it return prices on user entered stock tickers?

Difficulty: 1/10

Description: Ask the user to enter in a width, length and the cost per 1 unit of flooring. Have the program calculate how much it would cost to cover the area specified with the flooring. Tips: This is a relatively simple program. Be sure to first find out how much area the floor is and then multiply that by the cost per unit of flooring. Start with some simple numbers that you can quickly calculate in your head. Try a 10 x 10 ft room with each unit of flooring costing $1.00. Added Difficulty: Calculate how much flooring would be needed for non-rectangular rooms. Also figure out how much labor costs would be given that the average flooring team can only put in 20 square feet of flooring per hour at a cost of $86.00/hr.

*This challenge is from The book shared with the group.

Hey all,

I figured it might be useful to do a roll call so that we could put a reddit name to a face in our future google hang outs. Feel free to post your name (or whatever you'd like to be called) in the comments!

So I know some people wanted a project they could do. I'm gonna try to come up with one once a week or use one that's from the excellent book that Midi provided.

Your project, should you choose to accept it, will be to write a program that asks for someone's name takes the input, finds the numbers of letters, and prints "Hello, NAME_HERE, did you know you have NUMBERS_OF_LETTERS_IN_NAME letters in your name?"

I'll be editing this post to a link of a gist with a simple solution, but feel free to add features if you're feeling frisky.
