Lesson 165: Reading text streams safely (StringIO warmup)

Focus

Treat the excerpt as executable notes: Basic drills Reading text streams safely (StringIO warmup); spin token 1400347 makes this page unlike its neighbours.

Key ideas

Example (LESSON_UID = "basic-165")

# Basic drill L165 topic-16 micro-4 pattern-1
LESSON_UID = "basic-165"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 750, 929, 828

left, right = spin_a + 165, spin_b + 4
print(divmod(left + 4, max(3, (spin_c % 9) + 2)))
acc = (117 + 165) % (528 % 881 + 4 + 1)
for step in range(3 + (16 % 4)):
    acc = acc * (spin_a % 11 + 3) % 100003
    if acc % (spin_b % 8 + 2) == 0:
        print("hit", step, acc)
print("trail", acc)

Practice

Practice 13: Promote hottest literal into named constant; justify naming aloud. Literal nudge 13.
