If you'd be willing to share your strong words, I'd
be grateful to learn better alternatives.

as I understand things...
there's a writeup somewhere that uses the term "bind" instead
of "assign" for the operation
a = b
for example, in Python
a = 1
the value 1 now has a name of a associated with it.
b = a
the value 1 now has two names, a and b, associated with it
the value 1 exists as an o

change "small" to "large" and you're right.
Vim is Vi improved.
Any tutorial or reference on Vi ought to work
for Vim.

you want a very brief set of vi(m) commands--
a get-you-started tutorial that's nearly painless?
I'll send if "yes".

Why is a dict lookup constant time. I.e. if there's a
loop that walks a (shorter) list and compares each
element with each element of a dict, what's going
on to make this faster than an outer loop walking
a list and an inner loop walking a second list?

seems to me this is an artifact of the language.
reading right to left:
"make a list that contains 10,40,30,20, then create a
name 'a' to be used as a label to identify that list, then
(next line) create a label 'b' to attach to whatever is
the thing 'a' refers to, then (next line) modify
Thanks for your explenation, so essentialy a = b, copys the pointer of

and returns a single value. What's
the definition of a function in python?
how is a method different from a function? Is it
just that a method is a member of a class, i.e. can
a class have both methods and functions?
thanks in advance.

why choose one over the other? is there a performance
or other difference?
