Python:
Python is a programming language, probably one of the easiest ones to learn.
USEFULL WEBSITES:
Python Programming/Getting Python
MAKING UNIQUE LISTS OF NUMBERS:
import random
random_numbers = [random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9)]
random_numbers = list(set(random_numbers))
while len(random_numbers) < 4:
random_numbers = [random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9),random.randint(0,9)]
random_numbers = list(set(random_numbers))
print(random_numbers)
Tkinter:
I think that tkinter is a great Python feature which allows you to create great user interfaces and allows you to show information in a fantastic way as shown in the example below.
Using Tkinter for a user interface for a quiz:
from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
def tkinter_quiz():
q = 0
s = -1
count = 0
correct = 0
incorrect = 0
question = ["Give 1 Value A Boolean Can Be","Write the first integer","What is 5 in binary","What is 101 in normal numbers"]
answer = ["true","1","101","5"]
answer2 = ["false","0","101","5"]
root = Tk()
name = tk.Label(root,text = "Programming Quiz")
name.pack()
label = tk.Label(root,text = question[0])
label.pack()
entry = tk.Entry(root)
entry.pack()
def out():
global q,correct,incorrect,s,count
count = count + 1
ans = entry.get()
if count < 4:
if answer[q] == ans or answer2[q] == ans :
q = q + 1
entry.delete(0, END)
correct = correct + 1
label.config(text = question[q])
else:
q = q + 1
entry.delete(0, END)
incorrect = incorrect + 1
label.config(text = question[q])
else:
entry.delete(0, END)
label.config(text = "Correct: "+str(correct) + " Incorrect: "+str(incorrect))
def stop():
global q,correct,incorrect
q = 0
correct = 0
incorrect = 0
entry.delete(0, END)
label.config(text = question[0])
button = tk.Button(root,text = "Submit",command = out)
button.pack()
button_two = tk.Button(root,text = "Restart",command = stop)
button_two.pack()
root.mainloop()
In Tkinter you can use different parts of the mouse to call different functions, but it may be hard for you to add parameters through the functions.This is how you do it:
b1.bind("<Button-1>",lambda event: b1p1(event,other_parameter))
b1.bind("<Button-3>",lambda event: b1p2(event,another_parameter))
'<Button-1>' and '<Button-3>' mean left click and right click '<Button-2>' is the press of the scroll wheel.This means that if they do that action while hovering above the button it will do the function you are telling it to do. The function you are calling has to have a parameter called event and then the other parameters you are trying to add.
Pygame:
Another great part of Python is pygame.Pygame allows you to do pretty much anything from games to graphs and even sound.You need to download Pygame from www.pygame.org.Here is an example of a bar chart creator with pygame.
