[Tutor] Binary chop function - this works, but I'm not sure why

I'm trying to learn Python, and I decided to try kata 2 from the CodeKate website. It's basically just a challenge to implement a binary search in different ways. I wrote an implementation that works, but I'm confused as to why. def chop(search_int, sorted_list): if len(sorted_list) == 1 or

Re: [Tutor] Change dictionary value depending on a conditional statement.

I'm just getting started in Python but have begun with a challenging project. It's a 2000+ line program that provides works with a GUI for essentially a video device. As such, it displays dialogs, still images, push buttons, menus, and the like. It uses OOP. Ten years ago I was into OOP with C+
