Yikes, been a while since an Odin Project update was posted here! In the intervening months I've not progressed too far with the course, in fact I am still going through the JavaScript section just after the Google Homepage build. That sounds worse than it is as I had to alter the course to fit my learning style. Understanding, not just doing I need to understand the theory behind what I do if I'm to do the best I can, and when I jumped into the JaveScript track on Codecademy, I could instantly tell I wan't going to get out of it what I needed.

LPTHW - Exercise 13 OK then, new stuff here. Turns out I'd heard of this before but they were called libraries. Consequently it took a few minutes to complete the mental abstraction as to what these features/modules as Zed calls then actually are. This is the first bit I've come to and thought "Oh, this is the interesting stuff". I really hope to get through these lessons to the first test and move on to the stuff I've never heard of/encountered.

LPTHW - Exercise 12 Turns out I jumped the gun a little with that extra form I made last time for the Study Questions. This lesson covers the way I made that form... age = input("How old are you? ") height = input("How tall are you? ") weight = input("How much do you weigh? ") print(f"So, you're {age} old, {height} tall and {weight} heavy.") Learn Python the Hard Way - Study Drills 1.

LPTHW - Exercise 11 Yay! Some new stuff! I must admit, this first section is getting a little tedious so it's nice to have something new now. It's a common thing with programming tutorials, they all start of with such simple things and take ages to get past them. I think it's been a factor in why it's taken me a while to really want to learn to code.

LPTHW - Exercise 9 Simple copy and print here but a few things we haven't seen before - namely those \n things in the months variable string. When running the script the output on the months variable are displayed on separate lines, so those \n things obviously indicate a newline/carriage return be inserted. I guess this is a way to get new lines on a string enclosed by single or double quotes, i.

LPTHW - Exercise 8 Another copy one here but there were things to learn conceptually that haven't been brought up before. Look at how formatter is declared right at the beginning. Throughout the rest of the exercise we just add the relevant data and it'll print in the way set in the formatter variable. I think this is a subtly important concept to begin to learn, that you can setup the structure of how to do something and allow the data to come later, knowing it'll be output how you intended.

LPTHW - Exercise 7 This is the start of a rote copying stretch. That said, I did a few bits of my own towards the bottom of the script as you'll see below. Having a play around with the code helps me to get a feel for the different things it does. Just trying something to see what it does is a fun way to learn. I think as time goes by actually reading up on docs first will start to become the more efficient way to do things, but I don't think we're at that stage just yet.

LPTHW - Exercise 6 More working with strings and text in this exercise. Having looked into string formatting in the last exercise I realised that I was looking into something quite a bit further on in the course than I needed to right now. x = "There are {!a} types of people.".format(10) binary = "binary" do_not = "don't" y = f"Those who know {binary} and those who {do_not}." print(x) print(y) print(f"I said: {x!
