Applications are becoming more and more sophisticated as languages such as Python open the doors to the world of programming for people who have the creative vision but always felt actually writing code was beyond their grasp.
A large part of any programs success is based on how well it can react to the events which it has been programmed to understand and listen for.
A good example of an event would be when the user clicks a button on the applications window. What happens when that button is clicked?
Well, the first thing that happens is the operating system sends out a message to let any listening software know that the button was clicked. Next, your application needs to do something in response to that event.
Net Neutrality
You may have heard about net neutrality over the years. Recently, the concept has gone through some changes, and many would consider its underlying principles to be in danger of corruption or dissolution. However, the technical nature of net neutrality ethics makes it difficult to understand for the layperson. Read on, and the central themes and controversies surrounding the principle will be outlined and explained for your convenience.
The Theme
The python keyword global is used in a function to distinguish a local representation of a variable with the same name.
glbvar = 0
def setglbvar():
global glbvar # include this declaration so that updates to glbvar are NOT LOCAL to this function
glbvar The importance of variables in any programming language can’t be emphasised enough. Even if you are a novice, the chances are good that you will have been using variables for quite a while now.
They are the cornerstone of any language and without them we would not be able to accomplish much of anything. However, most of you up until this point have probably only been working with standard variables, variables which can hold single values such as an integer, a single character, or a string of text.
In this tutorial we are going to take a look at a more special type of variable called an array. Arrays can seem quite daunting at first glance but once you get used to working with them you will wonder how you ever managed to program without them.
The reason arrays are special is because they can hold more than one value. Think about this: say you create a variable which contains a line of text like the code below:
