[Python] Simple tweet generator

-
Hello guys,

this time, i have a simple tweed generator for you.

What is this generator doing?

It creates a sentence out of four lists "part1 to part4", each containing a subsentence.


What does this code snippet teach about?
  • lists
  • encapsulated lists
  • string manipulation via "join"
  • the "in"-operator
  • the "for"- loop

# Import random module
import random

# Defining lists
part1 = ["Angelika Merkel,", "Frank-Walter Steinmeier,", "Wolfgang Schäuble,", "Joschka Fischer,", "Oskar Lafontaine,", "Gerhard Schröder,", "Ursula von der Leyen,", "Renate Künast,", "Sigmar Gabriel,"]
part2 = ["ohne Talent,", "völlig blau,", "total besoffen,", "absolut unzurechnungsfähig,", "nichts ahnend,", "sehr verstört,"]
part3 = ["hatte einen Rausch.", "lief gegen einen Baum.", "stolperte die Treppe hinunter.", "fiel aus dem Bett.", "rutschte ins Klo.", "aß Hundefutter zum Frühsück.", "ging im Winter baden.", "wärmte sich die Hände im Toaster."]
part4 = ["Unglaublich!", "Schlimme Konsequenzen!", "Wie befreiend!", "So wahr!", "So natürlich!", "Eine Wohltat!"]

# Defining list of parts
all_parts = [part1, part2, part3, part4]

# Declaring an empty list
sentence = []

# Loop through all parts
for part in all_parts:
    # Generate a random number according to part's length
    s = random.randint( 0, len(part)-1 )
    # Appending the chosen words
    sentence.append( part[s] )

# Printing the new generated sentence
print( " ".join(sentence) )

Output: 
Angelika Merkel, sehr verstört, aß Hundefutter zum Frühsück. Unglaublich!


To get a better understanding of how it works, i would suggest to take this code snippet and play around with it.
For example, you could try to add new parts of subsentences.

Do you have a zip-file with a password and you can't remember it? Then let's write a little tool, that tries to recover it. Disclaimer: "Cracking passwords and getting access to files of others without their permission is criminal! This blog post is only for illustrative purposes, to get an insight of how an hacker would probably do it, so you know how to protect yourself against it. This blog post is not meant to seduce you in any way to use it for criminal purposes! So i don't take any responsibility if you use it for criminal purposes, nor do i take any responsibility for the consequences which arise from it. Also, the authors of the linked pages are responsible for their sites and their content, so i don't take any responsibility for that." So, that being said, let's begin. The dictionary attack There are several ways to crack a password, however we will discuss only one of them, the dictionary attack. How does it work? It...

[Python] Writing csv files and reading them (simplified)

-

What are CSV files? CSV stands for  "Comma Seperated  Values" , and that's exactly what it is. It contains values, seperated by commas or semicolons ( ";") . The well known software  "Excel"  from Microsoft for example, uses semicolons to seperate the values. For example: when we open the following file ... ... in a text editor like Notepad, we would see a format like: Mercedes;AMG GT;117000 VW;Golf R;41000 BMW;X3;44000 And with knowing that, we can work with csv files easily. As it is only string manipulation to sort the data. In order to follow up this tutorial, you can copy/paste the above three lines into a Notepad file and name it "file.csv" . Reading CSV files Let's write some code, that opens a csv file and reads it's content : 1 2 3 4 5 6 with open( 'file.csv' , "r" ) as file: rows = [] for line in file: rows . append(line) print (rows) T...

WebGL 2 Guide - #7 Das erste Dreieck

Im letzten Schritt haben wir einen Einblick in Shader erhalten und gelernt, wie diese funktionieren. In diesem Schritt werden wir uns mit Buffern auseinandersetzen und uns ein Dreieck erstellen und anzeigen. Dazu schauen wir uns zuerst einmal Vertices und Indices genauer an: Wie in dem Diagramm zu sehen, ist dort ein Dreieck definiert mit den Vertexpunkten 0, 1 und 2. Wobei Vertex 0 die x- und y-Koordinaten (0, 0) hat, Vertex 1 (10, 10) und Vertex 2 (20, 0). Diese Koordinaten werden in einem Vertex array gespeichert und dieses wiederum dem Vertex Buffer übergeben. Dasselbe mit dem Index array, hier wird die Beziehung der Vertexkoordinaten beschrieben, welche ein Dreieck ergeben: nämlich Vertex mit dem Index 0, Index 1 und Index 2 ergeben zusammen ein Dreieck. Diese Beziehung wird in einem Index array gespeichert und dem Index Buffer übergeben. Es ist in der 3D-Welt üblich, diese Beziehung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn zu definieren. Im Uhrzeigersinn würde aber auch funktionieren....
