Tebeka M. Python Brain Teasers: 30 brain teasers to tickle your mind and help you master Python

Independently published, 2020. — 145 p. — ISBN: 9798643432357.The Python programming language is a simple one, but like all other languages it has its quirks. This book uses these quirks as a teaching opportunity. By understanding the gaps in your knowledge - you'll become better at what you do.There's a lot of research showing that people who make mistakes during the learning process learn better than people who don't. If you use this approach when fixing bugs - you'll find you enjoy bug hunting more and become a better developer after each bug you fix.
These teasers will help you avoid mistakes. Some of the teasers are from my own experience shipping bugs to production, and some from others doing the same. Teasers are fun ! We geeks love to solve puzzles. You can also use these teasers to impress your co-workers, have knowledge competitions and become better together. Many of these brain teasers are from quizzes I gave at conferences and meetups. I've found out that people highly enjoy them and they tend to liven the room. At the beginning of each chapter I'll show you a short Python program and will ask you to guess the output. The possible answers can be:- Syntax error- Exception- Hang- Some output (e.g. `[1 2 3]`). Before moving on to the answer and the explanation, go ahead and guess the output. After guessing the output I encourage you to run the code and see the output yourself, only then proceed to read the solution and the explanation. I've been teaching programming for many years and found this course of action to be highly effective.PDF conv. (HQ)
