For those who are afraid of lycanthropes and full moons, here is a way to figure out the phase of the moon.

Just a little quirk in Tkinter. Since the canvas has a default border of 2 pixels simply give it a [B]bd=-2[/B] to cancel it.

What "Hello World" is to the console, the "Bouncing Ball" is to the Graphical User Interface. Nothing fancy, the ball is created via a call to the API function ellipse() and then bounced within the confines of the windows form. For the DEV C++ crowd: Let me know if you …

The printer seems to be a much ignored computer peripheral when it comes to programming. This little code snippet explores one way to send text to the default printer. It actually draws the text into an imaginary box on the paper. You can specify the upper left and lower right …

Rule of thumb is that it takes about ten good C++ programmers to do what 1 good Python program can accomplish in a given time span. So, yeah there are a lot more C++ jobs out there! On could imagine that with the help of AI future computers could do …

Recursive functions have a neat look, but consume much stack space, Python sets a recursion limit of 1000. Recursive functions are rather slow, a while/for loop is much faster.

I could think of valid functions that perform an action, like formated printing. No need to return anything.

Python has a nice thing called sequence **slicing**: [starting-at-index : but-less-than-index [ : step]] 'start' defaults to 0, 'end' to len(sequence), 'step' to 1 for instance s = "123456789" then s[-1:] --> 9 s[-2:] --> 89 s[-3:] --> 789 and so on, do this with a for loop in range(1, …
