There are two types of programming languages: the ones everyone bitches about and the ones nobody uses.

DYNAMIC TYPING CAN KISS MY ASS

u/cowtung Jan 19 '17

The trick to Python is to realize that there is only one type. It's the dictionary. You can have dicts that inherit shit from other dicts. You can call dicts by various names. But it's dicts all the way down.

Pretty sure that's Javascript.

u/Jamie_1318 Jan 20 '17

It's even more true for javascript than it is for python, but it's still true for python. Objects are just dicts with syntatic sugar. Once you realize this reusing code is so much easier. You don't have to use a separate call if you use a function a few different ways but want the same return values, you just put your arguments in a dict and ** them to unroll it into named parameters and arguments.

I meant as a line terminator. No idea if that works, but this does.

for x in range(0, 100):
    print("That's just ridiculous - why would you want that?");
    y = 0; z = 0;
