Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 😊
An extremely smart man said once “If you can't explain it to a six year old - you don't understand it yourself" I try to go by these principles as much as possible 😉
I'll film a functions episode soon! thanks for reminding me to continue the Python for Beginners series 😃

Thank you so much for your kind words, @mmeink3954, it really motivates me to do this work. I'm thrilled to hear my videos have been helpful in clarifying Python concepts for you. As you wished, I will be covering "Functions" and "While loops" in my upcoming videos, and I'll make sure they are as clear and comprehensible for beginners as possible. Please do not hesitate to drop a comment if you have any confusion or suggestions, your feedback is invaluable to me. Happy Pythoning!

hahaha Thank you so much sir!!! 😃
My favorite "For" loop example so far!!! 🤣

Wow, @ZurioSi! Thanks for using Python to articulate your feedback - it's very fitting. I'm thrilled to hear you find my videos awesome, entertaining, and educational. I hope you continue to enjoy future videos and keep using code as a creative way of communicating. You've made my day wonderful already. Happy coding!

I absolutely agree! giving logical and intuitive names for variables is very important, especially when working in a team 😀
When other people view your code - it makes it easier to understand what you meant 😉

That's a great point @cactuszlm! Using meaningful variable names makes your code easier to read and understand, especially when dealing with larger data sets or complex loops. The use of 'i' and 'item' is quite common in tutorials for beginners because they are simple and universal. However, in actual programming, using more descriptive variable names, such as 'name' in a list of names, definitely makes more sense and is a good practice. Keep up your learning journey!

Yeeeey, thank you so much invinciblenoman! I'm super glad liked my way of explaining these "For" loops!!! 😁😁😁
I agree that one of the most confusing parts is naming the iteration variable! I had the exact same problem when I first studied it, but ended up finding a few code examples on stack overflow that cleared out the confusion...
(I told you you gonna like this tutorial! 😉)

Hi @invinciblenoman, thank you so much for your fantastic words! I'm overjoyed that I could assist your understanding of 'i' in for loops - it's indeed a variable, not a fixed part of the syntax. Your compliment about the cat-eye makeup made me chuckle! Maybe I should consider doing a coding tutorial about how to digitally simulate a makeup look in Python. That'd surely be interesting, wouldn't it? Stay tuned for more Python content, and don't let the makeup distract you too much 😉👩‍💻💄

"For" loop eats "While" loops for breakfast without any salt! 😉 hahahaha
But seriously - it's usually a matter of personal preference, as well as purpose. Sometimes a "For" loop is not the most efficient solution.
For example, in the previous video where we streamed live video feed into Python - we absolutely had to use a "While" loop to keep transmitting until a certain condition is met, a "For" loop wouldn't have this ability.

Thanks for your question, @rasmusa9212! Personally, I find all the loop constructs in Python to be extremely useful, each one with its specific advantages depending upon the task at hand. However, if I have to pick one, I would likely lean towards 'for' loops due to their simplicity and efficiency when iterating over data structures or repeating actions a specific number of times. We've covered 'for' and 'while' loops in this channel, so feel free to explore these videos to see which one you prefer. As always, please stay curious and keep exploring Python topics! Looking forward to your next comment!

Thank you Jean-Marc! 😁
I don't believe you are correct regarding the 4 spaces - as it's entirely up to you how many spaces you chose to use.
Even 1 space will do the trick, but also 2 of them or 4 of them will work exactly the same (as long as you're consistent and stick to the same number of spaces for indentations throughout your code).
Python 3 styling guide indeed defaults to 4 spaces - but it is not obligatory at all! it's still up to you to decide if you go by their styling recommendation or not.
I find that pressing on "TAB" once is much more efficient than pressing "SPACE" four times! 🤓 but maybe other people don't find it as convenient...
Python 2, for example, states that anywhere between 1-8 spaces is sufficient, rather than suggesting a default number. In my opinion it's a much better approach 😉
In the end of the day it's all about your personal preference, and that's the beauty of Python - you don't have to obey by strict rules if you find something else to be more convenient! 😎

Anyways, I've been using "TAB" for years! (which on my end is equivalent to 3 spaces, and therefore I used "3" in the example 😜) but if you prefer 4 spaces instead - it's also a great solution! 😀

Hi @JeanMarcD35, you're absolutely right. In Python, the standard recommended by PEP 8 is indeed 4 spaces for each indentation level. In the video, I mentioned 3 spaces or a tab just to exemplify indentation, but in most Python coding circumstances, it's better to stick to the 4 spaces rule. I'll definitely take note for future video references. Thank you for your support and for pointing out this detail. Your feedback will only help us refine the content for our Python Simplified community. Stay tuned for more!

It starts from 0 and stops right before reaching 3.
So range(3) stands for: 0,1,2 😃 (3 is not included in the count)

Hi @galaxyswrld9414, great question! The `range(3)` in Python starts from 0, but it doesn't include the ending index, so it essentially creates a list of [0, 1, 2]. This means that when we use it in a for loop, the loop will only iterate 3 times and not 4. I understand that it could cause some confusion as it starts from 0, but this is how Python's range function works. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy coding!
