A Personal Achievement

Congratulate me, folks! I just wrote my first program.

name = raw_input("Name: ")
print "Hello",name,"!"
lastname = raw_input("And your Last Name: ")
print "I'm very pleased to meet you,",name, lastname,"!"
middleinitial = raw_input("Do you have a Middle Initial? ")
print "So your full name is:",name,middleinitial,lastname,"?"
favnum = input("Do you have a Favorite Number? ")
favnum2 = input("Can you give me a Random Number? ")
print favnum*favnum2,"is the product of multiplying those numbers together! Isn't math fun?"

Not bad for a first attempt, eh?

Do you have a Middle Initial?
No.

Sigh- I just spent an hour messing with it, I'll post back when I understand else and while statements better.

O.K., What do you think of this one?

firstname = raw_input("Tell me your First Name: ")
init = raw_input("Do you have a Middle Name? (Y/N) ")
if init != ("Y") :
        print "O.K.",firstname
elif init is ("Y") :
    middle = raw_input("Please tell me your Middle Name: ")
    print "So your Name thus far is: ",firstname,middle
if init != ("Y") :
    middle = ("")
lastname = raw_input("Tell me your Last Name: ")
print "So your Full Name is: ",firstname,middle,lastname

It's not __Pythonic__, thus it fails.

If you want it to be Pythonic (you don't, go learn Ruby instead), sprinkle underscores randomly and use that horrid comment thingy.

I haven't seen anything in the docs I'm looking at yet that says to sprinkle anything randomly. And since this isn't a vastly complicated piece of software I see no need fot # marks in it.

Also, define Pythonic, please?

You're now good enough to fix the GIMP's interface.

A common neologism in the Python community is pythonic, which can have a wide range of meanings related to program style. To say that a piece of code is pythonic is to say that it uses Python idioms well; that it is natural or shows fluency in the language. Likewise, to say of an interface or language feature that it is pythonic is to say that it works well with Python idioms; that its use meshes well with the rest of the language.

In contrast, a mark of unpythonic code is that it attempts to "write C++ (or Lisp, or Perl) code in Python"—that is, provides a rough transcription rather than an idiomatic translation of forms from another language. The concept of pythonicity is tightly bound to Python's minimalist philosophy of readability—unreadable code or incomprehensible idioms are unpythonic.

Users and admirers of Python—most especially those considered knowledgeable or experienced—are often referred to as Pythonists, Pythonistas, and Pythoneers.

Boy, that Pythonic thing sounds gay.

The horrid comment thingy is actually good.

Go back to your Perl's $%&(_=:\\\~.+\[]|\.*

>>11
You forgot @, # (yes, it's an operator and a comment), and many more I don't know about, some that I probably can't type without entering unicode codes directly.
