You can learn a lot just using the Python Shell but eventually you will want to move to writing and being able to save multi-line scripts, and edit them, and run them without needing to retype them - and to do that the Shell won’t cut it. Having said all of that - PyCharm (or any full featured...

You can learn a lot just using the Python Shell but eventually you will want to move to writing and being able to save multi-line scripts, and edit them, and run them without needing to retype them - and to do that the Shell won’t cut it. Having said all of that - PyCharm (or any full featured IDE) is not a good choice for a beginner. You need to be able to understand exactly what you need to do to execute your scripts etc, whereas an IDE can hide all/some/most of those decisions - meaning that you could get issues; a large number of beginners can struggle because their code works in the IDE but not outside (or vice versa) and don’t have the knowledge to even start to diagnose the problems. I would say when you need to do multi-line scripts then start with a simple text editor; get used to running and configure Python, and virtual environments, and installing libraries, and drive change control; learn those aspects and then when you are comfortable you can use an IDE to remove some of the drudgery. read less

Can anyone help me with the below programs: A) which returns orger summary as a list with 2- tuples. Each tuple consists of the order number and the product of the price per items and the quantity. OUTPUT: [ ('34587',163.8),('98762',284.0),('77226',98.85),('88112',74.97) ]. 10 INR should be increased in the product if the value of the order is smaller than 100.00 INR. OUTPUT: [ ('34587',163.8),('98762',284.0),(77226',108.85),('88112',84.97) ]
Can't solve because product price is a part of the tuple. Since LIST IS MUTABLE so we can change its elements. We can change the whole tuple because it is an element of the list. As WKT TUPLE IS IMMUTABLE so we can't change its elements.
