Does python have one way of doing things?
- by gath
I have always seen in python articles/books that python is simple and it has only one way of doing things. I would like someone to explain to me this concept keeping in mind the example below, if i wanted to get the min and max values of sequence i would do the following;
seq=[1,2,3,4,5,6]
min(seq) #1
max(seq) #6
but i can also do this;
seq[:1] #1
seq[-1] #6
surely this are two ways of doing one simple thing. This confuses me a bit.
