Change print "Nice to meet you:", first_initial, second_initial, the_initials[2].title() to return first_initial + " " + second_initial + the_initials[2].title() and in your main function: initials(full_name) to print "Nice to meet you:", initials(full_name) and yes first_initial =...

Theres a built in method called Title that will capitalize the last name properly. just do the_initials[2].title() or whatever your last name vairiable is called. http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#str.title Just so you know there are much simpler ways to make the first initial...

Strings are like arrays of characters in most languages and you can access characters like an array. To get the first character do the_initials[0][0] EXAMPLE: >>> hi = ("hello","test") >>> print hi ('hello', 'test') >>> print hi[1] test >>> print hi[1][0] t

Java is good for Runescape bots or games that use java. Java would be a terrible language to make a bot for a game like WOW that uses native language. If you know nothing about OOP then writing good java code will be challenging. Generally everyone who codes in Java is an asshole and thinks...

EDIT: -Use main function to control the calling of other functions, passing of parameters to the other functions and the storing of values returned from the other functions. my code doesn't do that. You need to rewrite all your functions to make that happen im too lazy

Use CURL to get the HTML source, parse it using regex/grammars to find what u want. Heres an example from my gedownloader: How i get html source: http://mikehershey.com/pastie/view.php?id=l56JhhaCmf4gyVhgorUX How i get prices: http://mikehershey.com/pastie/view.php?id=asO4wgB1xgG6jEdJjl81...

In general its not about languages more about theory. Once you know one programing language you essentially know all of them. A good computer science program teaches you things like data structures/algorithms, design principles, system architecture, grammers/parsing, etc.. Most schools teach...
