Question

Ok everyone I just started here but finished first lecture and I was wandering is the the kind of code they are asking for for problem set zero....

a = raw_input ('Write your last name')
b = raw_input ('Write your first name')
print b+a


The code works fine but is this what they wanted?

Answer 1

Considering I only took five minutes on it I am sure I rushed and it is not what is actually being asked.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yep, that's pretty much what they wanted. You could go a little further if you wanted by having it print a space between first and last names.

print b+' '+a

Answer 4

Yep I figured that out. I spent more time thinking about how to add the space then figuring out how to write up the main code.

Answer 5

You can just comma the print statement and get a free space

print b, a

But, with a space, your code is fine. It gets tougher by the way :)

Answer 6

I figured it did. I am watching the second lecture and will do problem set 1 tomorrow.

Answer 7

Mikeray, don't make the mistake I did - I started Problem Set 1 after watching Lesson 2. Problem Set 1 is due at Lesson 4, so you should watch Lesson 2 and 3 before starting it.

I did Problem Set 1 after Lesson 2 and although I had the right concepts in mind (got it correct), Lesson 3 could've saved me quite a bit of time.

Answer 9

Nevermind, my last two posts, I got my stuff mixed up. Problem Set 1 is due at Lesson 3...

Answer 10

Yeah I noticed that and thanks I will follow the calender. I just hope I am able to keep up with everything being 31 with three brats and a nagging yet wanderfull wife makes finding time fun.
