I once saw a site that had a lot of programming tasks for beginners. They were mostly mathematical problems and stuff like that. Does anyone know of any sites like that? I can't program big stuff currently so I would like to solve problems like that.

make your own little programs

like this

(Toggle Plain Text)

num = input('Insert first number ')
num1 = input(' insert another number ')
print "Your Answer Is ", num + num1

raw_input("Press Enter Key ...") # wait

try making things like that.

(Toggle Plain Text)

name = raw_input("Whats Your Name? ")
print "Your Name Is ", name

# do something with name
if 'n' in name.lower():
   name1 = name.replace('n', 'h')
   name2 = name.replace('n', 'k')
   name3 = name.replace('n', 'j')
   print "Your Name Could Have Been ", name1, "or", name2, "or", name3

if 'f' in name.lower():
   name1 = name.replace('f', 'e')
   name2 = name.replace('f', 'w')
   name3 = name.replace('f', 'z')
   print "Your Name Could Have Been ", name1, "or", name2, "or", name3

if 'p' in name.lower():
   name1 = name.replace('p', 'm')
   name2 = name.replace('p', 'r')
   name3 = name. replace('p', 'q')
   print "Your Name Could Have Been ", name1, "or", name2, "or", name3

raw_input("Press Enter Key ...") # wait

or there is that code you can mess with.

These are too simple and you already gave the source, so what's the point

?

The only site I have seen that fits your desription is this one:

bob, joe, and bill have tools. bob has a hammer and a saw. joe has a saw, drill and a leveler. bill has a hammer and a leveler. count each item and see how many are repeted and by who. display people and their tools aswell as showing the repted tools.

make a recursive power function (enter 2 parameters, the base and the power...e.g. power(2, 3) would return 8).

make a factorial function (recursive or not) 5! = 5*4*3*2*1...by definition 0!=1.

make a "palindrome" program (test to see if input string is a palindrome).

make a function to tell if a number is prime.

hack into my bank account and add 43 gajillion dollars to it.

take a string and print it out backwards.

take a string and replace all vowels with the '*' character.

create a program that implements a four-function calculator

extra credit: implement the above with operator overloading.

this is just some crap i thought of. may be helpful and fun!

good luck.

for any help, suggestions, or whatever, my email is:

bhancock4@gmail.com

or you can skip it and ask someone who really knows.

Extra credit if you make negative exponents correctly!

Factorials are fun!

<3 probability models and combinatorics

No wonder I've made so much playing poker given that I love the stuff...Now I'm teaching myself Python though...I'm taking a breather from C/C++ because the pointers and memory-related bitch work are driving me nuts.

Python's syntax is also far easier...Hell, it makes VB6 look obfuscated. :-)

Sweet suggestions bl00d. =}

While you're at it commodore, might as well hack my bank account as well. Heh.
