"so anyways, when are you gonna learn a REEAL language?"

Augmented assignment operators in Python combine addition and assignment in one statement. Instead of writing a = a + 1, you can write a += 1. This can make your code more concise and readable.

There are many augmented assignment operators in Python, including:

+= (addition)

-= (subtraction)

*= (multiplication)

/= (division)

//= (floor division)

%= (modulus)

**= (exponentiation)

&= (bitwise AND)

|= (bitwise OR)

^= (bitwise XOR)

<<= (bitwise left shift)

>>= (bitwise right shift)

Augmented assignment operators can be used with any Python variable, including numbers, strings, lists, and dictionaries.

Here are some examples of how to use augmented assignment operators in Python:

Python

# Add 1 to the variable a a = 1 a += 1 # Subtract 2 from the variable b b = 10 b -= 2 # Multiply 3 by the variable c c = 5 c *= 3 # Divide 4 by the variable d d = 10 d /= 4 # Floor divide 5 by the variable e e = 10 e //= 5 # Take the modulus of 6 by the variable f f = 10 f %= 6 # Raise 7 to the power of 2 g = 7 g **= 2 # Perform a bitwise AND operation on the variables h and i h = 10 i = 5 h &= i # Perform a bitwise OR operation on the variables j and k j = 10 k = 5 j |= k # Perform a bitwise XOR operation on the variables l and m l = 10 m = 5 l ^= m # Perform a bitwise left shift on the variable n by 1 bit n = 10 n <<= 1 # Perform a bitwise right shift on the variable o by 1 bit o = 10 o >>= 1

Literally could get four books for less than the price of one on Amazon.

29. Do you think programming is an art form?

Whups I guess I forgot to make one yesterday.

Anyhoo, I've been a busy bee. I learned some data structure stuff. Did some job scoping around my city to see what was up.

And I was exaughsted from, like, 2 straight weeks of studying I decided to relax and designed a programming language.

And I started learning rust again. I stopped the last time due to not understanding borrowing, and how many of the libraries out there seem to be over engineered and hard to use.

But I'm giving it another go.

13. What do you do/want to do with programming?

So the question arises:

propaganda:

C++: my strong suit, will make progress quicker, kinda know what to do next. Too familiar tbh.

Rust: the perfect opportunity to finally try it in a medium sized project, building up the knowledge in the go. Probably will be very slow in the beginning, might discourage me.

Today's goal is coming up some basic design (language independent) on the whiteboard to see the connections and interfaces I might need.

I want to decouple the "business logic" from the visualisation as a design principle. Also want to keep things simple and performant.

What's your favorite programming language? Why?

Easy question: C++

The expressiveness of the template metaprogramming is unparalleled. No other language I know of can do the same with the same flexibility. I recently wrote a Tower of Hanoi solver that creates the steps for the solution in compile time (and gives the compiler error message of the solution to prove it is done before anything is ever ran). It even has an addition to generate the steps and the states it goes through as ASCII art at compile time using TMP. And this is not even that advanced usage, just a little toy example.

Lists in Python are a type of sequence data type. They are mutable, meaning that they can be changed after they are created. Lists can store elements of any type, including strings, integers, floats, and even other lists.

Lists are represented by square brackets ([]) and contain elements separated by commas. For example, the following code creates a list of strings:

Python

my_list = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

Lists can be accessed using indices, which start at 0. For example, the following code prints the first element of the list my_list:

Python

print(my_list[0])

Output:

apple

Lists can also be sliced, which allows you to extract a subset of the list. For example, the following code prints a slice of the list my_list that contains the first two elements:

Python

print(my_list[0:2])

Output:

['apple', 'banana']

Lists can be modified by adding, removing, or changing elements. For example, the following code adds an element to the end of the list my_list:

Python

my_list.append("orange")

The following code removes the first element of the list my_list:

Python

my_list.pop(0)

The following code changes the second element of the list my_list:

Python

my_list[1] = "pear"

Lists can be used to perform a variety of tasks, such as storing data, iterating over data, and performing data analysis.

Here are some examples of how to use lists in Python:

Python

# Create a list of numbers numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # Print the list print(numbers) # Add an element to the list numbers.append(6) # Remove an element from the list numbers.pop(0) # Sort the list numbers.sort() # Reverse the list numbers.reverse() # Iterate over the list for number in numbers:   print(numbers)

Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] [2, 3, 4, 5, 6] [3, 4, 5, 6] [6, 5, 4, 3] 3 4 5 6
