Hello World here are 3 Python cheat sheet tips that all junior developers should know. These are very important to remember and will help you become a better developer.

1.) sum() — max() — min()

The sum() function allows you to add all the numbers in a list.

ex.) numbers = [2, 15, 7, 10, 32]

sum(numbers) // 66

The max() function will allow you to get the largest number in a list, and the min() function will allow you to get the smallest number.

numbers = [2, 15, 7, 10, 32]

max(numbers) // 32

min(numbers) // 2

2.) random.choice

Random.choice allows you to grab a random item within a list. This is very helpful when you are doing anything with randomization such as choosing a random name from a list, choosing a random question for a quiz, etc. Make sure to — import random — at the top of the page as well or the code will not work.

import random

numbers = [2, 15, 7, 10, 32]

random.choice(numbers) // 10

random.choice(numbers) // 2

3.) .lower()
