Wow, this instructor is excellent. She does a great job of comparing what you are coding to simple concepts. I am always let down when an instrucor is really intelligent but makes the material unnecesarilly convoluded to the point you woulld only be able to understand it with advanced knowledge of the subject.

If only at my university the programming was teched like that... Idk, if it's just me, but how important the teacher in the teaching process. At my university, the lectures were boring, students were not involved in the process, and in the end, I started hating the programming classes. Now I can see how beautiful and interesting they could be

This is only interesting to me because in my own time over the course of years I’ve been putting pieces together of functions within functions that leads to spontaneous, recursive creative syntax Don’t blame your teachers, if you’re bored THEN YOU’RE THE BORING ONE. That also means you know why you’re bored, so you can change it

The way she explained about the scope of variables is awesome...

Thanks a lot Dr. Ana Bell

35:40 Scope Details. I think it's helpful to just look at it line by line. At first I got confused with x = x + 1 because it seemed to be inside def h(), but it's actually inside def g(x). def h() is such a simple block of code, that it threw me off at first. Assign x to 3 +1. print the string 'g:x=' , h() assigns x to 'abc', but returns None. So the string, abc, stays within that scope. Calling the function, h() ,returns None. return x is typed "after" print(x) in the order. Brain slowly absorbing. def g(x): def h(): x = 'abc' x = x + 1 print('g: x =', x) h() return x x = 3 z = g(x)

@henrikmanukyan3152

where does h() take its "x" variable if it has neither defined nor had that argument in its definition? is this the case of using global variables that is not recommended?

so, x = 3 def f(y): print(x) works but def g(y): x =+ 1 does not work. because it's not in the functions scope. so are only operations with a variable out of scope not possible? because in either case it has to know the value of x, whether you print it or whether you do something with it. so why does the second one not work?

39:49 If the function h() had a return at the end, would the outer function have returned x as 'abc' instead of 4?

@JeetSingh-kp5xq

4 жыл бұрын

only if we assign the return of h() to x like x= h(). Otherwise 4

The last example about nesting would have been better if you had written h as function of other thing that would have added to x and participate in the main function. BTW it was really a good pedagogical video.

34:00 what is the difference between incrementing x and printing x? it is defined in the same place relative to g() and h()

@as-br9ov

2 жыл бұрын

When you are trying to print it, func g is able to track down x into the global scope and get it. Yet, if you want to convert it into something, in other words if you want to implement process onto x, you have to define it first in whatever scope you are. Then you can modify it.

why did it print with return and without return twice?

informative

Iam mca student in india.it has very useful to me

So when h returns, h in the scope of g still equals 'some code' and None is just sort of floating about in the scope of g. But when g returns, the value 4 is assigned to z because of the equals sign in the code. Is that right ? And if that's right, that means the None in the scope of g was inaccessible. Just trying to get it clear.

11:53 How you write a function. Parts of a function

when func_a( ) is mapped to z ... then can we write return z instead of return z( ) ?

@nikhilkolhe2374

2 жыл бұрын

no if you do that you are returning the object func_a. but when you return z(), you are returning the value of expression func_a(), which is the value returned by func_a.

21:50 (regarding the section on return and None) When describing remainder = i % 2, it might be easier for beginners to say: i "modulus" 2, instead of i "percent" 2. Overall, the videos are excellent. Thank you! :D

Can anyone ELI5 what it means to provide abstraction? She says that writing the docstring provides abstraction and I'm just not familiar with that meaning.

@saurabh75prakash

6 жыл бұрын

E Dogg , Abstraction means that you need not look into the details of the function to use it( remember the projector example). The docstring provides the high level idea about the function which can help you in reusing the function in your code (without looking into the details of function's code)

Is it just me or is the scope structure in python eerily reminiscent of the way tangent universes are described in Donnie Darko (director’s cut)? 🤔🤔 just a thought!
