Re: Coin Flip (Python Newbie) 3 Weeks Ago by woooee while timesflipped < 100: timesflipped += 1 Use a for loop instead. if coin_flips == 0: And no need to add the == 0. Just *if coin_flips* (i.e. not zero) is enough Re: Coin Flip (Python Newbie) 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim When you want to do a loop a given number of times (e.g. 100) but the loop counter is not used you can do for _ in range(100): # rest of code here Re: Need Coding Help With A Project 2 Weeks Ago by Enzo_3 I was working on a similar assignment where I had to compute the average of numbers from a text file using higher-order functions like map() and reduce(). I was really stuck on how to incorporate them meaningfully, but I finally figured it out. Here's how I approached it using Python: from functools import reduce with open('… Re: Need Coding Help With A Project 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I don't know why you would use `reduce` and `lambda` when you could just do sum(numbers) And the directive >You should make use of two higher-order functions (i.e., map and reduce, or something else) to simplify the design. is self-contradictory as using `map` and `reduce` instead of `sum` does not simplify the design. It … Re: When Speed Replaces Satisfaction in Coding 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Compare this to making cookies. One person's idea of making cookies is 1. open the bag 2. put the cookies on a plate 3. done The other extreme would involve grinding the flour and harvesting eggs from your own chickens.

Please explain to me how anything I said was a put down. If someone told me their methof of counting cows was "count the number of legs and divide by four", I would point out that it would be simpler just to count the number of cows. If I said "That's stupid, just count the cows", then that would be a … Re: Need Coding Help With A Project 2 Weeks Ago by Dani First of all, let me be blunt. I believe that Enzo only resurrected a 12 year old thread with the intent of spamming. You and I know that because, as moderators, we see in his profile his spamming attempts and his infractions.

I'm using a while loop that only runs if my variable is 0. Right now, I set the variable to 0 but the code was after the loop.

Thank you for posting your updated code to share with others :) Re: How Does Flutter Handle State Management Internally? 3 Weeks Ago by kearawill How Flutter Handles State Internally Flutter uses a reactive UI model. When the setState() method is called within a StatefulWidget, it marks that widget as "dirty" and schedules it to be rebuilt in the next frame. This allows Flutter to efficiently update only the parts of the widget tree affected by the change, thanks to its … Re: How Does Flutter Handle State Management Internally? 2 Weeks Ago by kearawill No, It is not AI generated. Re: How Does Flutter Handle State Management Internally? 2 Weeks Ago by sophiabrooks Flutter internally handles state management through a combination of mechanisms: Stateful Widgets, declarative UI updates, and various libraries for managing app-wide state. Re: How Does Flutter Handle State Management Internally? 1 Week Ago by Temporal Great topic! When I studied Game Design and Art at UNIAT, we also touched on Flutter and state management, which is key for solid apps. Flutter manages state through its widget tree, with setState() rebuilding parts as needed. For bigger apps, tools like Provider, Riverpod, and BLoC help manage complexity. Provider is simple and good for … Re: Coin Flip (Python Newbie) 1 Month Ago by jassonadder Hey! Great job getting started with Python—your logic is almost there, just a couple of small fixes needed. The main issue is that you're using the variable timesflipped in your while loop, but it was never initialized. Because of that, the loop never runs properly, and your counters don't change. Here's a corrected version of your code:… Re: Coin Flip (Python Newbie) 1 Month Ago by Dani > Presumably bumping every "coinflip" post to spam their URL Nothing wrong with that!!

Techniques like retrieval augmented generation, continuous pre-training, and fine-tuning enhance an LLM's default knowledge.
