@JessiJesmine Can you use i++ in the for loop instead of i+= 1?

[Lewis Swales @60_47_62]

I really hope this counts:

def get_user_data(data_point):
data = qu_open(f"please input the {data_point} you were born")
return data if qu_closed(f"the {data_point} you were born was {data}?")[0] == "y" else get_user_data(data_point)

Lines: 3

what do we think?

Day 5 #100DaysOfCode #PythonProgramming

I love refactoring. I would love to know if there was a way to reduce this code even further while maintaining readability and simplicity?

[Lewis Swales @60_47_62]

I must say. I love my mini functions!

Day 4 of #100DaysOfCode #pythonprogramming

Open Question and Closed Question : these 2 mini functions format an input to reflect the styling I want for questions. This has saved me a fair bit of work so far in this program alone.

Day 4 of #100DaysOfCode #pythonprogramming
Her is another we snipper form the program I am working on. It checks the list to see if the day and month of any of the entries match and return a list of each match.

We are getting close to acheving something beautiful!

[Lewis Swales @60_47_62]

Day 4 #100DaysOfCode #pythonprogramming #python
This function will sort a list of dates by date, month and/year.
using optional arguments and key words to custimise the output you get the data how you want.

how would you improve this code?

[Lewis Swales @60_47_62]

Day 4 of #100DaysOfCode #Python

A small but usefull peice of code I have found myself utilising while writing programs.

A Debugging print (dprint). it only displays if debugging == True and has functionality to make visibility better when running in command line.

useful? yes

[Lewis Swales @60_47_62]

My mistake. Today is day 3

Day 2 of #100DaysOfCode #python
I went to bed without posting my progress and realised before sleep got me.

Today I was working on a program which visually displays the birthday paradox. I shall post some snippets tomorrow for all your viewing pleasure.
