general

you are learning the newest stuff?

weird, but I've got no experience with Physics grads so maybe that's normal

it is like, 4-5 months out of date

but yeah, mostly

there is no way the textbook you are using has the newest stuff about Neptune

Prob not

this is just the newest usable book

raining diamonds is a pretty cool thing

So

do you reccon I can teach myself all the syntax and fundementals of python by thursday Kappa

Have a lab where I have to code

if you already knew how to program

Out of 100 people in my class, I am one of 5 who does not

python is very easy

I have a textbook that goes through a lot of shit

already

It takes 2 weeks to learn Python to a proficent level if you commit yourself

i taught myself in less than a week

and then mastered through use

Okay, I need much less that a proficent level

so I prob will be fine with about, eh, 5 hours max I can use to learn it

If you have any coding experience, after 2 days I think you'll get it

I have zero coding experience

the first 5 parts of the tutorial should teach you more than you need

Coding is one of a few fields which I had no interest in, and thus know nothing about

Despite going to the top CS school in Canada

intuitively what does this do

Obviously it does something if A is the case, if not it does something else

I get that

Just when it comes to writting code, I am at a disadvantage and will need to work at it

i taight myself coding with TI basic Kappa

no typing there

or very little

I prob would do better if I literally started from the basis of why coding works and worked up to coding

Don't do that

just accept it works

No time to do that

and a bad thing to tell a Mathmatical Physicist Kappa

i know it and its fun, but you definitely don't need that

What if he want's to become a redstone wizard though?

I literally just need to know enough to do math calculations, run models, ext

ect*

well thats everything

coding isn't that complicated

I'm suprised thay're having you use Python if that's the end goal

aren't you using Mathematica for some stuff? thats a coding language

no

just python

no you were posting mathematica plots earlier

That was some website sketching thing

looked exactly like mathematica

pika what you need to learn is control structures, data structures, functions and objects

generators and decorators are cool but unnecessary

Or he just needs to start dating the prof, get the A the easy way

i guess file io is something you will definitely need

but you are sure to have that in a homework

Fucking prof did not post his powerpoints

which had links to the shit I needed to download

what a fucker

are you doing just python or anaconda?

need anaconda release

I took notes during the powerpoint thankfully

need to decode what I wrote

What is the difference between this and just downloading python 2.7?

it has a bunch of extra stuff

lots of modules for math and science

Man, starting that internet cult 4 years ago payed off

free tech support>payed tech support

umbreon my lad

where were you all da

yes?

school

until 5?

yup
