FOR LOOP , RANGE

  FOR LOOP 

while loop is perfect to use when we don't know how many times we want the loop to repeat. 

If we have an idea of how many times we want the loop to repeat, we can use a for loop to loop code in exactly the same way the while loop did. 



EXAMPLE : 

for counter in range(10):
  print(counter)


RANGE 


The range function creates a list of numbers in the range you create. If you only give it one number, it will start at 0 and move to a state where the final number is one less than the number in the brackets. In this case, the final number would be 9

EXAMPLE : 

total = 0
for number in range(100) :
  total += number
  print(total)

 Hyper Text Markup Language Over the next couple of days, we'll be taking a crash course in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). HTML is a markdown language. This means that it is used to tell webpages how to render on screen (basically how to look). It is made up of a series of instructions in <tags> that surround text/image filenames, etc. and influence how they are displayed on screen.    Tags Now let's start creating a webpage and learning about the tags. 👉 Step 1 is to tell the file that this is an HTML page. These are the first and last tags on your page. Notice that the last tag has a forward slash before the command. This means close or end this tag. With a few exceptions, tags come in pairs - an opening tag (no /) and a closing tag (with a /).  <html>    </html>  Head The <head> tags contain a lot of invisible information about the page that you won't see on screen. Stuff like: How to display your webpage on different de...

Automate! Automate!

 Making this customizable 👉So how about making our search user customizable? In the code below, I have: Asked the user to input an artist (line 14) Tidied up their input (line 15) formatted the search URL as an fString that includes the artist (line 19) Here's tAutomate! Automate! We are so close. I can taste it, folks! Massive kudos on getting this far! Today's lesson, however, will work best if you have one of Replit's paid for features (hacker plan or cycles). Free plan Repls 'fall asleep' after a while. Automation kinda relies on the Repl being always on. If you have hacker plan or you've bought some cycles, then you can enable always on in the drop down menu that appears when you click your Repl name (top left).he code: This is important because when our repl is always running, it can keep track of time and schedule events. 👉 I've set up a simple schedule that prints out a clock emoji every couple of seconds. It works like this: Import schedule librar...

HTTP & Sessions

 HTTP & Sessions One of the main protocols (rules that govern how computers communicate) on the web is called HTTP. HTTP is what is known as a stateless protocol. This means that it doesn't 'remember' things. It's a bit like having a conversation with a goldfish. You can ask a question and get a reply, but when you ask a follow up question, the original has already been forgotten, as has who you are and what you were talking about. So if HTTP is stateless, how come my news site remembers to give me the weather for my home town, my preferred South American river based online store tells me when it's time to order more multivitamins, and I'm justifiably proud of my #100days success streak? The answer is......... Sessions Sessions are a way of storing files on your computer that allows a website to keep a record of previous 'conversations' and 'questions' you've asked. By using sessions, we can store this info about the user to access later....
