CodeAcademy's tutorial is pretty good. The interaction is great.

And here is a similar one but this time, both lists remain...

months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'] newMonths = [] monthlen = len(months) for i in range((monthlen - 1),-1,-1): month = months[i] newMonths.append(month) print(newMonths)

The most common sample of recursion is always doing factorials, of course. So here it is in Python.

def main(): num = int(input("Please enter a non-negative integer.\n")) fact = factorial(num) print("The factorial of", num, "is", fact) def factorial(num): if num == 0: return 1 else: return num * factorial(num - 1) main()

I do the same technique when I am working in BASH. It just makes coding cleaner and easier. I find that even for small programs and quick scripts that it is a good habit to get into.

Here is the code for using the above list to make a LinkedList and to insert some test data:

myList = linkedList() for x in range(1,10): y = Node(x) myList.insert(y) print(myList.size())

@Alexis Another reason I like single quotes for my strings, less escape confusion

I should also mention that PyCharm 4 is out now too. So if you are using PyCharm, be sure to update.

JetBrains does make the best IDEs. I hope that they do this for all of their IDEs and not just PyCharm.
