Hi! I hope you are very well and have found Coding Croc useful!
About Coding Croc?
I work as a (primarily
python) developer and every time I run into a piece of code that I need as a
snippet, (or a bug / process that have had to solve), I’ve been adding it as
a post on codingcroc. I specifically designed it so it's easy to search and
copy Snippets - Like This!
a_list = ["icecream","lemon cake","chocolate cake"]
for index, value in enumerate(a_list):
print(index, index)
Background
You might be thinking, with so many forums and resources out there like
Stack Overflow, why would there be a need for another coding resource?
Well, I am a heavy user + fan of all those forums :) and what I’ve found is that
sometimes I just need a code snippet that's formatted in a specific way that
I can re-use and literally copy and paste with little modification.
Sometimes such snippets can be found - but it can be hit and miss, with some googling. Also sometimes the snippet is buried in a wall of text. And
sometimes I need a couple of variations of the same snippet to choose
from.
Codingcroc posts / snippets are quite varied - sometimes they are tricky
issues and workarounds, but other times they are simple things like a
snippet for selenium webdriver that is laborious to manually type over and
over again, or which requires extra steps to modify after copying from the
official docs.
A good example is getting a snippet for dict.reader in python. I can’t tell
you how many times I’ve googled “dict.reader python”, scrolled down to
https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html in search results, copied the
snippet, then manually removed the “>>>” and “...”’s.
So I created a snippet on coding croc to make life easy :D
import csv
with open('names.csv', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as csvfile:
reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
for row in reader:
print(
row['first_name'],
row['last_name']
)
Since I use codingcroc.com myself almost everyday to save time while I work, it helps to keep the site practical and up to date.
I hope you find it useful!
