Lesson 5, 9/2/17

           In this lesson, we were given time to complete as well as discuss the ten practice questions that were given to us the previous lesson. When the teacher was going through the len question, I felt that I could not catch up with him and could not understand some of the explanations. However, I did not stop and clarify my doubts with him as I thought that the rest of the class understood the question except for me, but then the actual fact in the end is that most of the people in the class are also unclear of the len question and after reflecting, I felt that it was very stupid of me to voice out and clarify my doubts as it will not benefit me and it is not the correct attitude that I should have. Thus, after this incident, I have decided to not be scared of speaking up and clear all my doubts when possible. After that, we proceeded to learn about while loop and for loop. This two loops are used to continue a certain function until a specific criteria is met. I find this function very fun as it can actually continue going on and on without stopping. At the end of this lesson, I also learnt that there are lots of  various functions in Python and we should never be complacent and think that we have finished learning everything in Python, when in fact, we have only just covered the basics. Thus, I cannot wait to explore other functions in Python.
