Learning State Capitals

Highlight starting at # Pound all the way to the end of this page. Then right-click on the mouse and click copy. Start Python Idle, click File, drop down to New File, and paste the codes. Next, click "Run," then "Run Module." Save it with any name you like. It should be quite fun running the codes until you can name all the capitals of the 50 states.

These coding questions are looped. You must get the answer correct in order to proceed to the next question.

Note how repetitive the codes are and what simple changes you can make to make each group of codes into a different question. And it doesn't even have to be a learning capital question. You can easily create your own questions pertaining to other subjects.

# Pound sign as shown on the left, allows you to add notes at the end of a code line or on a separate line. It is ignored during code execution.

# Notice only 8 main lines of code to learn the state capitals. Everything else repeats with different answers and questions.
