- What does colon equal (:=) in Python mean? - Stack Overflow
In Python this is simply = To translate this pseudocode into Python you would need to know the data structures being referenced, and a bit more of the algorithm implementation Some notes about psuedocode: := is the assignment operator or = in Python = is the equality operator or == in Python There are certain styles, and your mileage may vary:
- Is there a not equal operator in Python? - Stack Overflow
There's the != (not equal) operator that returns True when two values differ, though be careful with the types because "1" != 1 This will always return True and "1" == 1 will always return False, since the types differ Python is dynamically, but strongly typed, and other statically typed languages would complain about comparing different types There's also the else clause:

- syntax - Python integer incrementing with ++ - Stack Overflow
In Python, you deal with data in an abstract way and seldom increment through indices and such The closest-in-spirit thing to ++ is the next method of iterators
- What does [:-1] mean do in python? - Stack Overflow
Working on a python assignment and was curious as to what [:-1] means in the context of the following code: instructions = f readline()[:-1] Have searched on here on S O and on Google but to no avail
- math - ` ` vs ` ` for division in Python - Stack Overflow
In Python 3 x, 5 2 will return 2 5 and 5 2 will return 2 The former is floating point division, and the latter is floor division, sometimes also called integer division In Python 2 2 or later in the 2 x line, there is no difference for integers unless you perform a from __future__ import division, which causes Python 2 x to adopt the 3 x behavior Regardless of the future import, 5 0
- python - Iterating over a dictionary using a for loop, getting keys . . .
Why is it 'better' to use my_dict keys() over iterating directly over the dictionary? Iteration over a dictionary is clearly documented as yielding keys It appears you had Python 2 in mind when you answered this, because in Python 3 for key in my_dict keys() will still have the same problem with changing the dictionary size during iteration
- python - What is the purpose of the -m switch? - Stack Overflow
Python 2 4 adds the command line switch -m to allow modules to be located using the Python module namespace for execution as scripts The motivating examples were standard library modules such as pdb and profile, and the Python 2 4 implementation is fine for this limited purpose
