but y isnt greater than 100

>>693514596
Because y is less than 100 before it gets squared, but then you square it and then print it

64

>>693514893
this
you check if the condition is true, it is, lets say y is 50, its under 100 but then you do 50*50, thats alot higher than 100

>>693514808
>>693514893
>>693514999
im trying to understand how this works. and one of you break it down for me

>>693514596
4096

>>693514999
dumbass

>>693514596
map it out on a piece of paper, it isn't hard.
get your y by inserting x. = ?
then (while y is < 100) multiply y by itself
? * ? = new y = ??
is it less than 100? if so, do it again
?? * ?? = new y = ??? is it less than 100? if so do it again
??? * ??? = new y =???? etc, etc etc. Do your own homework.

>>693515178
quoi?

>>693514596
assuming the line y = y * y is meant to be indented, you should get 65536 as output

y starts off with a value of 8
it's less than 100, so we calculate 8 * 8 which is 64 and change y's value to that.
having reached the last indented line we wrap around to check the condition (while y less than 100) again - it's still true so we update y to the value of 64 * 64
now the condition is false so we print the current value of y, which should be 65536

When y enters the while loop, it's 8.

While 8 < 100 = true

We go into the loop and multiply 8 * 8 and assign it back to y...y now equals 64

we go back up to the while loop condition to check if 64 < 100

64 is less than 100, so we go back into the loop

64 * 64 = 4,096

y now equals 4,096.

We go back up to the while loop to check if 4,096 < 100

It's not true, so we break out of the while loop and print y (which is 4,096)

y prints 4,096

>>693514596
how can you not understand this lol?

>>693514596
x=7
y=7+1 , so eight
while y is less than 100, set it equal to itself squared, so 64. but we're still in the while loop since y is less than 100, so we square again. now y equals 4096 which is > 100, so you print out y

>>693515275
next time i will not do math in my head

>>693515356
op here. because im an uneducated dumb ass but im trying to learn

>>693515345
This. All other answers are troll.

He's doing more than most wannabee programmers. Help or fuck off.

>>693515111
8*8=64

is that less than 100?
yes

64*8=512
Is that less than 100?
no
ok exit the while loop

print y

>>693515486
Uneducated has nothing to do with it. You just don't want to follow directions. The entire problem is literally common sense. Stop being lazy.

>>693515345
+1 good step by step explanation

>>693515486
you don't even need to know how to read/write code, but every 5th grader should be able to understand this

>>693515619
Wrong, 64*64, since 64 is the new y after the first loop.

>>693515345
thank you, anon. this really helps

>>693515611
Welp, if he wants to 'do' something he should buy a book about python: https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Python-5th-Mark-Lutz/dp/1449355730/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467932411&sr=8-1&keywords=learning+python

>>693514596
>x = 7
>y = x + 1
>while y < 100:
>y = y * y
>print(y)


y is 8
8<100 -> y=8*8 -> y=64

64<100 -> y=64*64 -> y=4096

4096>100 -> print 4096

>>693514596

y doesn't print, you get a syntax error. You forgot to indent the loop.

kek

>>693515790
>>693515790
yes you are right, brain fart on my part

see
>>693515345

>>693514596

x = 7
y = 7 + 1
y = 7 * 7
y = 49
y = 49 * 49
y = 2401
fin

>>693515275
Right logic, wrong solution.

>>693515345
correct

>>693515404
right

>>693515619
almost right

>>693515877
yep

>>693515651
im not trying to be rude but did you even read my post? i said im not educated. i went to a shit school all my life so my education is shit. im not ok with that so im trying to better my self.

>>693516003
7+1 != 7...

>>693516003
whoops should be
x = 7
y = 7 + 1
y = 8 * 8
y = 64
y = 64 * 64
y = 4096
fin

>>693514596
Lol, what retard has written this? How can you do 'y = y*y' instead of 'y *= y'....

>>693516176
Works in python too ?

>>693514596
add a fucking space before the line after the while loop too. filthy savage.

>>693516176
not op but it's the same you autistic cancer nigger

you must focus on the value of your parameter y at the enter of the loop, after, you just follow the loop, here you will have y=64*64 be print.(i begin python 3 months ago)

Add a loop, and yeah y = 8 * 8
Then y changes to 64 * 64
then y is now grater then 100 so it will stop @ 4096..

>>693515262

Abrutis

>>693514596
Everyone here is wrong.

The ouput will be as follows:

64
4096

>>693516565
the print is outside the loop faggot, it only prints the last value

>>693516394
Yeah but why write more code than you need to lol, as if I wouldn't know that it is the same you fucking pleb.

OP here. can one of you point me in the right direction to learn this stuff? i know im retarded/autistic and any other insult you throw at me but i do want to learn

nothing because you didn't indent faggot

>>693516060

KEEP GOING BRO, THAT'S A GREAT THING YOU'RE DOING.

Don't use websites, you don't want to learn programming from pajeets, just buy a book.

>>693516955
What is ruby for then?

>>693516756
Read some book of O'reilly

Reddit, I'm serious. /r/learnpython has some good resources in the wiki

Take a piece of paper, you'll be surprised how many codes were written first on paper.
Here is your code, line by line:
>1) x = 7
>2) y = x + 1
>3) while (y<100) {
>4) y = y * y }
>5) print (y)

Remember that a computer is dumb, hence can only execute one line at a time. So here it is step by step:
>1: 1) x = 7
>2: 2) y = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8
>3: 3) is y < 100? 8 <100 ? True so go to 4)
>4: 4) y = y * y = 8 * 8 = 64
>5: Back to the condition since we're done with this line, so back to 3) is y < 100? is 64 < 100? True so go do 4) again
>6 : 4) 64*64= 4096
>7: Back to the condition, is y <100? 4096 < 100? FALSE so we don't execute the line in the while, we skip line 4)
>8: We now execute 5), print y, thus print 4096.

Remember it's not because we left the while loop that what happened in it is discarded. Y changed and even though y no longer respect the while condition y is still 64 * 64.

Not recommending well known books:

>>693516756

I think the python doc is pretty much self-explanatory. If you don't understand it, its probably because you don't understand the basics.

thank you for the chuckle

>>693516756
Youtube has tons of tutorials. It's how I learned throughout college.

Also, Codecademy has a whole 10 hour interactive course on Python for free.

I'd really recommend Derek's Banas's "Learning to Program" series on Youtube right now. I wish I had it when I was a programming noob years ago.

OP here. ive looked at it and to me it looks like hyroglifics

and if you need help on your code, go on stackoverflow ;D

>>693516756
Just don't use any websites besides the official documentaries, buy books.

>>693514596

https://www.codecademy.com/

https://www.udacity.com/course/programming-foundations-with-python--ud036

https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-mitx-6-00-1x-8

codeacademy is really basic but it's a good start, i haven't done the udacity one but they say it's really good. the edx one is pretty hard (imo) but it's probably the best one.

also reddit learnprogramming FAQ

>>693517214

That course has a lot of interaction in it. You can download and work on their IDE and have a virtual microcontroller on your machine. It also is a video course, next best thing from going to a university to learn this.

But I agree with you about Kernighan's book.
