<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am new to python and although have done basic many, many
years ago it has all gone, replaced by rubbish!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My question is this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I have a set of numbers, or strings etc. which have been
generated and I then want to do something with them, for example a sum function
call. Is the best way to put those items in a list, or similar container,
before applying the function.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For example, if I generate some numbers using range the only
way I could easily sum them was to append them to a list and then call the sum
function, if I tried without the list I couldn’t sum them at all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have read a lot of the recommended reading and am now
trying to figure out general code design, if anyone had any pointers/links it
would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p>
