I'm teaching Python as the first programming language to non-computer
scientists. Many of the toy programs would be simpler with the double
comma syntax. Presently, having a choice whether to teach my students
the result += fn(x) way or your way, I would still opt for the former.
Best regards,
Marcin
You could think about teaching them the linelist.append(fn(x)) way,
which then gives you the choice of
"".join(linelist) - no gaps
"\n".join(lienlist) - one item per line
" ".join(linelist) - spaces between items.
regards
Steve
