Learned that return should be used instead of print, as that is more 'fruitful'. Learned about different functions and converting things to floats before they divide. I have nothing else to say. Have a good weekend mr. Whittaker.

Learned about the triple quoted string. It is used to put in comments and to check your function. Also return i think it works kind of like a print, except after it prints it terminates the function. We also need to comment on every line of code we make.

Learned that you can put equations inside like the reference point for coordinates. Got the thing where you have to put a house anywhere you want to. It was pretty easy once i got past my pointless mistakes. Didn't really learn anything new today... Just reviewed what i already knew and put it into action.

Got 100% on the quiz today. learned about truth table which I had kinda already done in geometry. Learned about the and or statments. i think when you say and it looks for in strings, the shortest thing, 'or' the longest thing. The True and False make more sense though. Its logical

Learned about slash and all the things it can do. Learned about the \n and \t how that tabs and enters new line.
Learned that we should always comment on what ever functions we do. Not exactly sure what the comma does but it does make the print number of lines correct instead of making one too many lines.

Success! Got all the excercises for chap 03. The import one was a bit wierd, but got it in a roundabout way. Spent the rest of the time going over everything.

Got the madlib to work. Learned today that it was alot more easier than i first thought. I learned that commas at the end of strings make it so it makes a new line. That wouldve helped me alot had i know about it sooner.

Today I wrote i guess my first program. Did all the exercises for it. Still a bit stuck on the madlib part. Working on how to get it to ask you for the appropriate words. I'm using raw_input not sure if thats right Ill test it with normal input tomorrow. Then theres the issue of the story itself i cant get it to put the words it defines out into the story. Ah well, tomorrows another day.

This was one of the more confusing lessons, I didn't manage to get the spam times 4 thing right, and i tried a lot. I learned that defs can be in any order unlike guido. The whole lesson was pretty confusing though... I learned more about adding and math and stuff like that though.

Made splash... Didnt learn anything specific just how to apply it. Did learn that you can copy and paste but not insert. That is good and bad... respectively.
