Hello Everyone,
If I've done this incorrectly, please let me know so that I can improve/revise. I'm new to the Python community and quite enjoy the more functional features of Python 3, but have I have a peeve about it. I'd like to propose and discuss the following enhancement to Python 3:
*Consider the following trivial for-loop:*
chars = "abcaaabkjzhbjacvb" seek = {'a','b','c'} count = 0for a in chars: if a in seek: count += 1
Gross. Twice nested for a simple count.
count = 0 for a in chars: count = count + 1 if a in seek else count Once nested -- if nested == gross, then this is not gross. (However, I prefer the twice nested which I find clear and simple -- not gross.) André Roberge
