@PhDemetri They'll need to know the fundamentals. I'd recommend looking at some beginner books' and courses' contents to enumerate everything, e.g., pythonprinciples.com/lessons/ - and less obviously, they'll need to be able to debug at least a little (understand error messages etc.)

@Sentdex Neat trick. You can also use 1e6 or 10**6 to make the integer size instantly clear.

@carlieslife @udacity @udemy If nothing else, you can put the code you write during the courses on github and that'll count for something.

@the_coding_tips Remember that sets are unordered, so the result will not have the order of the original list. You can also use a list comprehension: [item for item in list_a if item not in list_b]. Cast list_b to a set and it'll run faster since sets have constant-time lookup.

@BagHolder1 It has to do with how floating-point numbers are represented at a low level inside your machine. See for example effbot.org/pyfaq/why-are-… for a partial explanation and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-… for more info.

Protip for #python beginners: if you don't know how to start solving a coding exercise, write pseudocode first. Here's a post with an example: pythonprinciples.com/blog/how-to-ap…
