    Ok, getting back on Python to start coding. I have so many others I want/need to learn, but I need to choose one to start with and learn. Got a recent book bundle ($15 for $366 worth of books) that will help with that:).

    I always preferd c++ over java and python, but I had python class for 2 semesters so I know thing or two in there. I think it's possible to automate it, but dunno how exactly, since I'm not python expert

    mostly math problem solving, that doesn't come in handy often though

    Ah, they now have a book on Python doing Math:).
     
  7. Python is an interesting language, but I do find it slightly confusing compared to other languages that I'm used to because it's different from other languages. For example, I'm used to the ^ sign used for exponents, but Python uses ** for exponents. I'm also used to using data types like int, string, double, etc. in front of a variable name, but Python can recognize the data type through literals. I do think that Python is easier to learn than some languages, but takes a while to get used to if you're used to other languages.
