FOR LOOP , RANGE

FOR LOOP

A 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)

Web Scraping

Web Scraping Some websites don't have lovely APIs for us to interface with. If we want data from these pages, we have to use a tecnique called scraping. This means downloading the whole webpage and poking at it until we can find the information we want. You're going to use scraping to get the top ten restaurants near you. Get started 👉 Go to a website like Yelp and search for the top 10 reastaurants in your location. Copy the URL. url = "https://www.yelp.co.uk/search?find_desc=Restaurants&find_loc=San+Francisco%2C+CA%2C+United+States" Import libraries 👉 Import your libraries. Beautiful soup is a specialist library for extracting the contents of HTML and helping us parse them. Run the Repl once your imports are sorted because we want the Beautiful Soup library to be installed (it'll run quicker this way). import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup url = "https://www.yelp.co.uk/search?find_desc=Restaurants&find_loc=San+Francisco%2C+CA%2C+Unite...

It's Called Hashing,Hashing, Printing the Hash , Salty, Second User ,

It's Called Hashing One of the big issues with storing usernames and passwords in a database is what happens if we're hacked? If those passwords are stored as text, our users' security is compromised. Probably across multiple sites because they ignored our advice and used the same password for everything!!!!! Hashing In reality, organizations don't store your actual password. They store a hash of your password. A hash is produced by turning your password into a sequence of numbers, then passing it though a hashing algorithm (some mathematical process that is very difficult to reverse engineer). The data spit out of this hashing algorithm is what's stored instead of your actual password. 👉 So let's do it. I'm using the built-in hash function to create a numerical hash of the password password = "baldy1" password = hash(password) print(password) # This will output a really long number 👉 Now let's store that hashed version in our database in...

Hide & Remove,Come Back!,

Hide & Remove DISCLAIMER: I promise the good stuff is coming back. We have to go through the valley to get to the mountain, right? Sometimes, we want to remove a button, image or piece of text from the screen. To do this, we use pack_forget(). 👉 We'll start with our default tkinter program. import tkinter as tk window = tk.Tk() window.title("Hello World") window.geometry("300x200") hello = tk.Label(text = "Hello World") hello.pack() button = tk.Button(text = "Click me!") button.pack() tk.mainloop() 👉 Now I'm going to add a new subroutine to hide the label and call it on a button click. import tkinter as tk window = tk.Tk() window.title("Hello World") window.geometry("300x200") # New subroutine def hideLabel(): hello.pack_forget() # Removes the 'hello' label hello = tk.Label(text = "Hello World") hello.pack() button = tk.Button(text = "Click me!", command = hideLabel) # Call...
