I'm stuck on two problems from the Absolute Beginners book. The first is
simple.
I am trying to print all the words in the list in random order without repeats,
but it always shows None for some reason.

I am stuck on a question for Absolute Beginner's. I googled this and there have
been others who have not understood the question and I am also not clear on the

I am still working on that one question in the absolute beginners with the the
ask_number function and step value. Honestly, I still have no idea what to do.
This is one of my many attempts, but I know that it's wrong.
def ask_number(question, low, high):
"""Ask for a number within a range."
The question to that code I am trying to solve is
"Improve the function ask_number() so that the function can be called with a
step value. Make the default value of step 1."

"From Steven D'Aprono:
* change the ask_number function
to accept a fourth argument;
* make it optional rather than
required;
* give it a sensible default
value;
* within the function, that value
must then be passed to range
"
Okay, I think I understand it better for the quesiton:

"def spam(n=3):
"""Return n slices of yummy spam."""
return "spam "*n
And here it is in use:

'spam spam spam spam '
>>> spam() # just use the default
'spam spam spam '
Can you see what I did to set the default value for n? Read the function
definition line "def spam... " ca
understand how it works better.

I answered another question that says "Modify the guess_number program so
that the program's code is in a function called main(). Don't forget to call
main() so you can play the game." It seems to be working fine, but I would
like to have a second opinion if there was a better way to put it togeth
I have to improve the trivia_challenge program so each question has a
different point value. I added a point into the text file after each
category line, so the next_block() can call it. Whenever the program
calculates the 'score = point' in main() it comes up with "TypeError:
unsupported operand
***ignore the "point = point" line in the next_block() function.

The question for this is to make a program that simulates a TV by creating it
as an object. The user should be able to to enter a channel and or raise a
volume. Make sure that the Channel Number and Volume stay within valid
ranges. Before I can even start correcting my code this error shows up. I
ad of just
adding/subtracting the value and the only way I can think how is to use a
list and then have the function replace the value each time. I'm sure there
is a better way though.

I'm on the Critter Caretake problem that involves handling more than one

I was able to get the program started without errors now. What is left now is
to:
Having the stash change after winning and losing. No matter what, the value
in stash stays the same. The conditional statement I made which prevents
players with no money from playing is dependent on this.

Also I must be doing something wrong if I have to enter a "bet = Bet()" into
each function where it is used. I tried putting Bet into the other classes'
arguments but it did not have any effect.
