Guest, before posting your code please take these rules into consideration:
- It is required to use our BBCode feature to display your code. While within the editor click < / > or >_ and place your code within the BB Code prompt. This helps others with finding a solution by making it easier to read and easier to copy.
- You can also use markdown to share your code. When using markdown your code will be automatically converted to BBCode. For help with markdown check out the markdown guide.
- Don't share a wall of code. All we want is the problem area, the code related to your issue.
To learn more about how to use our BBCode feature, review our "How to post your code into threads" here.
Thank you, Code Forum.
Python please give me a code to work on as a challenge

Well, not sort of what I had in mind with the Python section, however. How about you make a calculator? And once your done share what you came up with, we can provide some tips!

One of my first projects with Python was to create a desktop cleaner. It auto sorted all the files by type so any documents would go into Documents, any images would go into Photos, etc. I don't recommend running it on ALL of your folders (I didn't make it recursive) because that might actually disorganize your files. I used it to just pick up any stray files on the desktop.
Another fun Python project is an auto-clicker. You can record your mouse movements and repeat them with Python, allowing for Python to take control of the mouse, open files or programs, click buttons, etc. It is a nice tool for repetitive tasks. To take this a step further you can actually supply Python with images of certain elements, like a program's desktop Shortcut. This would allow your Python script to find the program's icon on the desktop even if it has moved to a different spot. For example, I could code a Python script to find the Microsoft Word shortcut on my desktop. I could set up the file to automatically open Word when it finds the shortcut. Similarly, I could have my Python script create a new file and then type into the document, paste information, etc. The image-search style of automation is helpful because recording mouse movements and clicks fails the moment something takes a bit longer to load or if something is out of position. Image search fixes this problem by forcing Python to look for what it must click on its own. Basically Python takes a screenshot of the whole display and then looks for any part of the screen that matches the image you've supplied to it. When it matches, it performs an action on the element - in my example, it would double click the Microsoft Word shortcut, click the File option once, and then click the New file option - all based on small images of each option.
