I also like the fact that the question is not complaining about the difference in behaviour between `if` and `for`, but actively seeking understanding and asking about a potential explanation. (more) |

I don't see the question as asking why Python doesn't have the same syntax as JavaScript. The author understands that the parentheses are not required in Python. The question is why is it OK to add redundant parentheses to an `if` statement, but not to a `for` statement.
Until the reason is unders... (more) |

I agree questions are useful at all levels.
The answer might seem obvious after it is discovered, but it was not obvious before it was discovered, so it will not be obvious to the next person either. (more) |

Codidact is already set up to have multiple categories per community, so I think it just needs an admin to add it (if the community indicates support for it). (more) |

Would the community benefit from a separate category for software recommendations (like the code reviews category)? (more) |

A: Queries to count points lying on arbitrary line Some answer-specific terminology to make describing things simpler: - I will refer to the N points as candidate points. - I will refer to the integer points inside the [bounding box] of the N points as lattice points. Two approaches There are two ways to approach this question: - Check w... (more) |

When you use the notation `O(N)` are you looking for an improvement to the worst case performance or the average case performance?
My first impression is that your suggestion of a quadtree (or even just a regular grid) is likely to improve the average case, but not necessarily the worst case. I ha... (more) |

A: Are there other reasons why useEffect might not be defined apart from not importing it? Including the full file in the question The question states that `useState` has been imported, but the codeblock does not include `import { useState } from 'react';`. Is this the full file or just an excerpt? It may be difficult to say for certain what is wrong from an excerpt, if the problem turns ... (more) |

One way would be to use singular `LogRecord` for the record type, and plural `log_records` for the dictionary variable name. (more) |

Really glad to hear that you found it helpful.
Thanks for the tip on using `export` to allow testing from another file.

This is an interesting question, exploring why an error occurs as part of gaining familiarity with the language.
I would not expect it to be easy to find the answer by searching documentation or online without already knowing what explanation to search for.
The asker clearly knows how to solve ... (more) |

A: Why can parentheses cause exceptions in Python when using for loops? A single element tuple has a trailing comma Note that the example in the question does not form a tuple, as there is a special syntax for single element tuples. A single element tuple has a trailing comma after its single element. This is necessary to distinguish the single element tuple from an exp... (more) |

I can see that you have put thought into this and you have an idea of how you want it to work, but the question doesn't currently show us what you require.
Can you explain why you want this, rather than how it should work? That might make it easier to understand the requirements you describe, and ... (more) |

A: Should asking about book recommendations directly connected to software development be on-topic? Here is a slightly different suggestion, that may avoid the problems with open ended book recommendations. Book lists? No I'm not entirely against opinion based questions, but I am against opinions that are not attached to any meaning. It doesn't help me to know that one book has more votes than ... (more) |
