Greetings!
Ok if any of you read my earlier email you would have seen that:
A) I am a newbie programmer.
B) A Shadowrun gamer.
C) In over my head making a SRCG (Shadowrun Character Generator)
so with that in mind gave up making my python based SRCG. Instead I am
making python Shadowrun utilities!
The first of which was a program size and cost calculator for decker's
utilities and skillsofts. (I always hated flipping back and forth in the
book to figure it out). Thought I would let you see it and maybe
critique? Be kind its first original program I have written. (Well thats
not php or shell script).
Doesn't look bad. However, you should aim to repeat yourself as little as possible, and the "The program's[...]" string is repeated 4 times. You should delay its display until the end of the program, like that:
if rating < 4:
availability = "2/7"
cost = rating * 100
# same for other options...
# [skipping to the end of the program]print "The program's Availability is ", availability, " days and costs ", cost
Of course, an even better way is to use string formatting in the print line. But that's not really important.
