hey everyone. this is my first time trying this -- actually, I've been studying python only for some days now, and I'm afraid my questions are going to be reeeeally simple, but I can't seem to understand this piece of code and thus can't move on.
you probably know the book, so you know that zed always makes us write code so that then we can understand how it works, and it's great, but in this exercise there are just too many new functions and without explanation they are a bit hard to understand... so I'm having trouble with most of the lines here. it's not that I want the full explanation to that code, but since I'm unfamiliar with some of its concepts, I'm just going to tell you all the things that I don't understand (sorry for it being a lot): 1. the need to put script into an estipulation for argv (line 3) 2. the what is txt and why it has to be used there (line 4) 3. txt.read() -- which are all new functions(? I dont even know what they are) (line 7) 4. file_again (line 10) 5. txt_again (line 12) and line 14. as you can see, it's pretty much everything. sorry about that. I'd really appreciate any help at all! thanks a lot, heloisa _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
