Should:
lmao
this is what I've been awake for...
with this pace, I'd probably be killing Artificial Intelligence(AI) by nxt week!..

That's the spirit!!

Lol feminine language? this one loud and sounds true!

too easy!

Programming is not about learning a difficult or easy syntax, it is about knowing the fundamentals. Either you choose Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, etc, can you do the sleekest thing with them?

Today, Python is the most sought-after programming language that let you worry less about the syntactic make-up and focus on the big events with its rich collections of libraries. Why choosing to do what you can do with just 5 lines of Python code with 30 lines of code of some other syntactically difficult languages? There are too many things to learn than wasting your time on syntax.

Moreover, I will still never agree that Python is as simple as many people try to believe, not when you have tried some advanced topics that will leave you sweating over your computer. One can only say that Python is simple if what one is doing all along is playing safe.

Well said....

>>>python get complex when someone begin to define wrapper with decorators and functional concept where functions in some cases chaining this way

My_new = func(argument)(first_fuc)(second_func)

>>>More complex,when writing abstract class using metaclass and
>>> most complex when writing in c language to work in python(most advanced)

Exactly, I can see you've taken your game further beyond comfort zone.

Storing rows using nested list would have been easy...right now,i haven't think what best algorithm will be better.

I decided to use Binary Search and Sorted List, now looks good a little.

Do you understand that your equation to calculate complexity will be

Sorted list + binary search

One of my goals is to know in and out of python and along this path i can see c language being my next programming language because of ython implementation and being the first language to implement python but dont think i can move to it now.

What are factory functions?
These are functions that return inner function

def myprint():
    return print
customized_print=myprint()
customized_print('hello word')

Output: hello world

#let use some print argument on our customized_print

customized_print('hello worl',end='.')

This is the basic of decorator in python

I used the Binary search to insert an element into the right position in the list. So the 0(.) Is just Logn. Instead of returning true or false, it returns the position of an item after divide and conquer, then I use the insert function to insert in the right position in the list.

I also wrote a game called Game of Life where organisms dies or lives with respect to the number of organisms around them that are alive. Its similar code, you may check it here Boss.

Thanks

The first file is the text based implementation of the game, the second is the LifeGrid Class where I used the list and Divide and conquer

The below screenshot confused every me, while trying to understand Identity function..
Everything was going smoothly, until those figures appeared below "id(x), id(y)" ..
how they got the value on red...

The value in red are the memory addresses where x and y are stored,these values differs with PC. It is your pc that is responsible for how values are stored in the memory, id() only return the memory address

I finally used LinkedList for the SparseMatrix and it was just Literarilly better. From Quartic to Quadratic

But still curious why you dont want to use list

Access time O(1)

Learning different data structures actually. I wrote one that uses List but still quadratic. Because using nested list, I have to iterate over each list of the both Matrices.
One advantage of using the Array or the LinkedList is the memory since List creates double of storage being used.

What I read tho.

Zip two list should reduce it,just thinking

'''
what is @property?
@property is a decorator and what is a decorator?

Decorator is a technique used to change the behavior of
an object.

@property is a decorator used to change the behaviour 
of a class method,it is use mostly to enable a
class method to behave as an attribute.

Now let illustrate attribute call
'''
class Test:
    def __init__(self,var1,var2):
      self.var1=var1
      self.var2=var2

T1 = Test(2,3)
print('initial var1',T1.var1) #output: initial var1 2
print('initial var2',T1.var2) #output: initial var2 3
#changing the value of var1 and var2
T1.var1=6
T1.var2=10
print('new var1',T1.var1) #output: new var1 6
print('new var2',T1.var2) #output: new var2 10


'''
T1.var1 and T1.var2 are attribute calls

Now let see how method behave when we call it like an attribute
'''
class Test1:
    def __init__(self):
        self._var3=0
        
    #@property
    def var3(self):
        return self._var3        

    #@var3.setter
    def var3(self,value):
        self._var3=value
T2= Test1()       
'''
if you comment @property and then calling T2.var3 will return something like 
<bound methoud T1.var3.....>
that is the name given to the function by interpreter
'''        
print(T2.var3) #output: <bound methoud T1.var3.....>

'''
with the help of @property we can change how class method will behave
when it is called like an attribute.
in our case, we want the method to return a value and not object name
when it is called like an attribute

now uncomment the @property and @var3.setter
'''

print('initial var3',T2.var3) #output: initial var3 0
#setting new value for _var3
T2.var3 = 4
print('new var3',T2.var3) #output: new var3 4

In need of a special data type(object)?....you create class,

In need of special class?....you create meta class

@gbolly1151 please what materials would you recommend for an intermediate python programmer?.

spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']

Write a function that takes a list value as an argument and returns a string with all the items separated by a comma and a space, with and inserted before the last item. For example, ing the previous spam list to the function would return 'apples, bananas, tofu, and cats'. But your function should be able to work with any list value ed to it.

Just seeing this

spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']

def printlist(List):
    last=List.pop()
    last=' and '+last
    List.append(last)
    return ','.(List)
    
print(printlist(spam))

Thanks man. �

Thanks man. �

you are welcome bro

If you want a variable or method that should be called;
1) from anywhere outside of a class,then declare the variable/method as public e.g in python name='gbolly'

2) within a class only,then declare the variable/method as private e.g in python __name='gbolly' #double underscore

3) only from class and subclasses then declare it protected
e.g in python _name='gbolly' #single underscore

spam = ['apples', 'bananas', 'tofu', 'cats']

def printlist(List):
    last=List.pop()
    last=' and '+last
    List.append(last)
    return ','.(List)
    
print(printlist(spam))

print(printlist(spam))

Oh I just checked again now. I misunderstood the question. I was working on returning an item in the list as a string separated by comma with an and before the last item. Something like... Returning the first index as 'a, p, p, l, e, and s'.

Will that work?
