On task, just before lunch

apparently my DISC personality is C/D/S. There are some accurate mappings; but remember "a map is not the terrain".

Python today

Today I'm going solo - seems easier.

Ugh, we'd removed the 'afplay' text somewhere within the tests ( as I'm on debian and use the 'play' - pairing was super useful yesterday, and they taught me a great deal. Thankyou Hoom'n! )

by running the

cp -r * ../../../ui

command, this overwrote the info simply, but those 'afplay' strings remain incorrect.

Python features

Managed to make some progress with the music player

I'm gonna continue a little deeper into python

Lists

List methods

  • append(x)
  • extend(iterable)
  • insert(i,x)
  • remove(x)
  • pop([i]) - where i is index ( bit weird )
  • clear()
  • index(x[, start[, end]])
  • count(x)
  • sort(*, key=None, reverse=False)
  • reverse()
  • copy()

Is there a mnemonic I could make? Python is a useful language afterall

Ares eats indolent renegades, plotting crises in cities seated remote and cold

Lists as stacks

list.append is push

list.pop sans arguments removes & returns entry[0]

Lists as queues

from collections import deque
queue = deque(["Eric", "John", "Michael"])

List Comprehensions

[do-this for each in list]

or

new_list = [do-this for each in list]
