GIS Programming Module 3: Python Fundamentals, Again

We're still going over the basics of using Python, and this week's topic was conditional statements and loops, which are some of the building blocks of more sophisticated code. For the lab assignment, we were asked to complete a partial script. The finished script prints out the results of a dice-throwing game. Then it generates a list of random numbers, removes any instances of a specific number from that list, and prints the final result. Here's the output:

The trickiest things for me this week were remembering the names of the functions and methods I want to use (I have a problem with knowing what Python can do but not how to do it) and remembering basic details like converting integers to strings in a print statement and adding spaces between things that are going to be printed. I also briefly forgot that the remove method only takes out the first instance, not all of them, and had to look that up to figure out the right code to finish the script. But overall, so far so good.
