Weekend Project - Weekend Emotion

Welcome to another awesome weekend and starting today every weekend we are going to do some fun projects and today we are going to do something related to weekend. First of all create an empty python file with the name weekend_emotons.py , it is very important to keep the extension of the file as py which will tell the interpreter that this is a python scrpt file. Save the file in the path of you choice (for my machine the path is ~/PycharmProjects/untitled). Paste/type the following code into this file -
def weekn(day):
  say_like = ""
  if day == "Saturday":
      say_like = "HURRAY it's weeknd :D:D"
      print(say_like)
  elif day == "Weekday":
      say_like = ":( :("
      print(say_like)
  elif day == "Friday":
      say_like = "Yeeeee :D :D"
      print(say_like)

today = "Saturday"
weekn(today)
Save the file and then open the command prompt and type python3 weekend_emotons.py and if you are in linux or weekend_emotons.py if you are in windows and voila you will get the desired message depending on the day you have passed in the variable today.

What the code does?
We created a function weekn which takes in a parameter day. The code checks what day it is, if it’s saturday then it prints the appropriate message and if it’s some other day then it prints the required message. In the variable today we pass the day we want and the function returns the required message to us.

What else now?
Now that you have run the above code and successfully generated the message why not make the code more dynamic? Why not improve it to make it more shorter? So go ahead play around the code an you can post your version in the comment section below.

What I learned from writing a guest post

                                                     Recently I wrote a python tutorial for Datacamp , while writing this tutorial I learned a couple of things which I am going to share with you right here in my blog post. May be you can use my experiences in your own endeavours as a writer. Idea The first step is idea generation. You can either search through any previous topics in your blog post if you have one or you can go through your past learning, experiences or any problem statement that you might have gone through and you will find that while doing that you can get tons of ideas to start your article. If you fall short of ideas then you can ask for help from may be your social media followings your friends or your family, for example I asked the people at Datacamp  themselves and they suggested me a couple of topics which got me st...

Expressions in Python : How to become a Python programming Jedi - A Python programming Tutorial Part 1

Long Long ago in a Galaxy far far away there was a planet named Quora. There was a growing agitation among the planet’s inhabitants to learn the way of the Python programming Force and become a master in the way of the Python programming Jedi, but very few knew that the secret art of the Jedi is embedded in a book named as TheCodingProject…. So, let’s begin the journey of learning the secret art of the Python programming Force and we shall together make the journey towards becoming the Python Jedi…. What is Python? As per Wikipedia “Python is a widely used high-level , general-purpose , interpreted , dynamic programming language .” Python is an open source programming language which was conceived in the late 1980s and its implementation began in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum (more on it here ). For us it’s sufficient to know that Python is : High level language - Python is a high-level programming language because it provides strong “:abstractio...

For Loop in python 3 : How to become a Python Jedi - Beginners Python Programming Tutorial - Part 7

I am back again with another part in the beginner python programming tutorial series. We will continue with "Loops" but this time we are going to learn how to use for loop in python 3.  Difference between For loop and While Loop A "For Loop" and "While Loop" have a common connection that both are looping statement, but major difference is that unlike while loop, a for loop gets executed a specified number of times. We can break down the For loop into the following components(Refer to the for loop flow chart below). for keyword variable name call to the range function colon operator clause or block of code Hovering over the flow-chart The above flow-chart is..well horrible I know, but I make my own drawings because I can't afford an artist. So, bear with me. In the above flowchart is a very basicy, laymanish representation of a for loop. The decision box contains the  For  statement along-with it's sou...
