Re: [Tutor] methods vs. functions

[TheIrda]

Well, my understanding is that function are used in procedural programmming
to make the code reusable, and to divide the bigger problem in a serie of
 smaller ones.
Methods are used in OOP, and mainly are the actions taht objects can
perform.

Thay have a very similar syntax in python, but the concept is quite
different.
In the procedural programming you have the code that manipulare date to get
the result, while in OOP you have objects that act through methods to get
teh result.

At least this is my understanding :)

Re: [Tutor] Help with if-elif-else structure

[TheIrda]

Hello,

I'm quite new on python, so don't hit too hard if I'm wrong ;)


A question on the logic... Does this means

if roll[0] > 15:
   if roll[1] >= 2:
   print("Success")
   elif roll[2] >= 2:
   print("Critical failure!")


that rolling multiple 1's get the priority on rolling multiple 6's? I mean
result > 15 and 2 1's is always a critical success even if multiple 6 are
rolled?

also

if roll[0] > 15:
   .
elif roll[0] <=15:  <--- this is redundant. already checked for > 15 so if
here is always <= 15
if roll[1] >= 2:

you can change with:

elif roll[1] >= 2:



And... which is the RPG name ? :p
Cheers

Re: [Tutor] Help with if-elif-else structure

[TheIrda]

let me rephrase.

They code say:

If roll[0] >15 :
..
elif roll[0] <= 15:


If the code arrive to the elif, it is for sure <= 15.

Cheers.
