Python, I Can’t Quit You….

Hisss, Hisssss, Hisssssss.

I love Python. I admit, that when learning programming Python was not my first language. I started with web development, so I started with JavaScript after getting the hang of HTML5 and CSS3. I don’t hate JS, I just find the syntax structure more taxing in JavaScript. I at first believed that JavaScript was impossible, but really I have trouble with breaking down complex problems more due to wanting to jump right in then in not understanding how to do so–but this is a whole other post and we’re talking about Python!
No matter how far I go in my studies, I keep coming back to wanting to have a grasp on the Python language. I consider myself a Python enthusiast.
I think it’s the similarity to spoken/written language that makes this language appeal the most to me. There are numerous sources that recommend beginners start with Python as a programming language and I support this assertion, unless of course the goal is front-end web development, then of course one might want to do JavaScript.
I want to know enough about both aspects to be considered mildly dangerous and capable of utilizing either when necessary.
So, as I prep out a plan to re-familiarize myself with not only programming, but Python, I realize I really do love this language. I just need to get over the belief that setbacks are permanent. I’m not going to be the best at everything and it all isn’t going to come easy, that was how Programming hit me years ago and I know I got frustrated by feeling like I wasn’t progressing or at least not quickly enough, but hanging out in online programming groups I realized that we’re all googling out way to success, most of us aren’t wunderkind, and imposter syndrome is a daily struggle, but if it interests you, like really interests you probably pretty much going to always find a way back to doing it.

print("Hello, World!")
# Python program to check if  
# given number is prime or not 
  
num = 11
  
# If given number is greater than 1 
if num > 1: 
      
   # Iterate from 2 to n / 2  
   for i in range(2, num//2): 
         
       # If num is divisible by any number between  
       # 2 and n / 2, it is not prime  
       if (num % i) == 0: 
           print(num, "is not a prime number") 
           break
   else: 
       print(num, "is a prime number") 
  
else: 
   print(num, "is not a prime number")
