155 Questions
What are some features of the python programming language?
Here are some of the features I like:
- Fairly simple, and easy to learn, compared with other languages.
- Supported on many platforms.
- The language in general requires less statements to achieve something than many other languages.
- The scope of a for, while, if, etc. is defined by indentation. That is, no special symbols are used to indicate the end of such a block. This also means you must indent correctly.
- A procedure can return more than one value, like this:
- In the procedure: return a, b
- Calling the procedure: x, y = myprocedure(...)
- I guess that technically, the procedure returns a single item (a list), but the language syntax makes it easy to assign the parts of this list to more than one variable.
- Built-in support for complex numbers.
- Built-in support for numbers of an arbitrary size.

How do you do a while loop in python?
#LMGTFY
In this example, I have created an array of numbers called 'foobar', and while the variable 'sum' is less than 20, I will have the program continue to loop back and add the next number in the array sequence.
#!usr/bin/env
foobar = [1, 4, 7, 2, 9, 11, 0, 6, 5, 4, 16, 3]
sum = 0
iteration = 0
while(sum < 20):
sum += foobar[iteration]
iteration += 1
print("Finished!")

Sorry, I'm not doing your homework for you.
I suggest you flowchart the problem, execute it yourself by hand on the flowchart a few times to make sure it works, then convert the flowchart to code in whatever language the teacher told you to use.
That's what I did back in 1973 with my program to play tic-tac-toe, that I had to punch on cards using the FORTRAN II programming language when I first started on computers. Hand execution of a program though tedious and boring is a very effective means to find bugs and gain insight to the way computers operate.

*Maybe* you could start there?
Python for non-programmers is a LIST OF TUTORIALS
Invent Your Own Computer Games With Python
I used it a lot, even though it's called '... computer games ...' it teaches you a lot of the basics in a fun, simple way.
Sthurlow is a great beginners tutorial too.
Help:
StackOverflow is for programming related questions
The official Python IRC channel is very good
I would add websites like
Udemy
Coursera are very good.
Also you can rely on tutorials by
Tutorialspoint where you get answered for all your queries.
