Hi there,
I'm trying to write a short function to test whether a year is a leap
year or not. To do this I need to check whether the year divides exactly
by 4, 100 and 400. I can't think of an easy way to test whether there is
a remainder or not. The best I can come up with so far is:
if (year / 4
Hi,
Thanks for all the help, I guessed that there would be a module out
there providing a function to do this but wanted to go through the
process as a learning exercise. The modulus operator was just what I was
looking for, I had been trying to check for a difference between the
division and the
Hi,
I am trying to write a simple program to display Conway's Game Of Life.
I have the bones of the program together but I'm struggling with the
function that tests for and applies the rules of the game (the important
bit). I have the current state of the game stored in a 2d matrix with
each cell

Hi,
First of all, thanks to everyone who helped with my last post
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2007-May/054360.html). I have
re-written the function that applies the rules but it still doesn't
return the expected result. I have been through it and corrected a
couple of bugs bet as far a

I haven't done any real GUI programming but I have started gutting to

I am currently working on a noughts and crosses program to try and teach

Hi,
I need to find the square root of a number in a program I am writing. I have
imported the 'math' module so I thought I could just call sqrt(x) but I get an
