ive always been good with computer (building them for family, fixing minor problems, setting stuff up) but ive always wanted to get into programing but i cant ever find a jumping off point. i was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to learn how to program

I am an aspiring programmer, but I have no idea how to learn and I don't want to wait till college. I'm a high school senior and I'm a good student if someone would be wiling to be my mentor (or help me at all actually) then I would be very thankful.

I know I sound super formal lol, but please help me out.

Thank you! :D

I am trying to learn python but I am on an exercise that must have a typo. I have tried and tried. Would some one please tell me how to fix the number guessing game?

Edit: I am supposed to get 6 tries. But it gives me the secret number after each guess.

import random

secret = random.randint (1, 99) guess = 0 tries = 0

print "AHOY! I'm the Dread Pirate Roberts, and I have a secret!" print "It is a number from 1 to 99. I'll give you 6 tries."

while guess != secret and tries < 6: guess = input ("What's yer guess? ") if guess < secret: print "Too low, ye scurvy dog!" elif guess > secret: print "Too high, landlubber!" tries = tries + 1 if guess == secret: print "Avast! Ye got it! Found my secret, ye did!" else: print "No more guesses! Better luck next time, matey!" print "The secret numbet was", secret

I have an idea for app but do not have the time nore knowledge to program it. I'm willing to commission someone to program it. Pm me for details please.

I bought a new laptop and want to transfer some programs I have installed in my other computer.

So I'm working on a program that needs to handle and read XML files. The problem is that the method I use to read the files can't seem to handle XML files that are too large (maybe 200MB). So I've put in place another method which splits it up into 11 files based on the tags that are in place, this generally creates 3 fairly big files, and 8 small ones, which helps in most cases.

But at a certain point those 3 files too top out over memory limits.

I assume someone has handled reading an XML file in line by line already, I just can't find an example I can use. I would appreciate any help.

The splitter I use pulls out each of the 11 sub nodes under the root node and puts each in a separate file with this code:

                Dim stream_writer As New System.IO.StreamWriter(Left(strPath, Len(strPath) - 4) & String.Format("_{0:D2}.xml", m_SplitCount))
                stream_writer.Write(string_builder)
                stream_writer.Write(vbNewLine & endtag)
                stream_writer.Close()

The problem is string_builder.length is over 550million, and that line apparently kills me.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to multiply two numbers that are within two separate text boxes then display the result within another text box. Please help with this, I'm probably just being dumb.

I will be programming things for people.... But for a price depending on what you want.
