Hi,
I had a quick question on how string compare works. If did '1001' <= '999'
I get true. I know how the string compare works but I was wondering why it
were so. Why doesn't the string length factor into the comparison? For
example, If I compared character-by-character but also found how differen

Thanks for the responses. I am using python 2.7. I'm not new to

That's waiting in the wings if I ever get done with the first book,

You are probably right if it is a giant list.
str_num = '1234567890'
n = 5
strings = [str_num[i:i+5] for i in range(0

Hey there everybody. I'm new to python and am attempting to teach
myself to code while brushing up on my math skills via the problems at
projecteuler.net. My solutions thus far have been mostly brute force
and this is no exception but I'm having an issue with tackling some
iteration in the problem.

I didn't see this in the archive so I thought I'd mention it since
it's pretty new. According to Ray Kurzweil, the most advanced
publicly-available Artificial Intelligence framework is now available,
exclusively for Python 2.7 installation, as RLPy (Reinforcement
Learning and Python)
