that i have too few but i'm also going
2,092.399
4.72
to see that same exception at the very
2,094.8
3.84
top of my terminal windows output
2,097.119
3.121
there's my error message too few
2,098.64
4
arguments but again on line 10 i blindly
2,100.24
5.359
proceed to still index into my list at
2,102.64
6
location one which does not exist so it
2,105.599
4.881
turns out there's a better way to handle
2,108.64
3.199
errors like this especially if you're
2,110.48
3.68
writing a program in python that's just
2,111.839
4.641
meant to run briefly and then exit
2,114.16
4.959
anyway but maybe we could start to exit
2,116.48
5.599
prematurely if the program itself just
2,119.119
4.801
can't proceed if the user has not given
2,122.079
3.841
us the data we want perhaps we should
2,123.92
4.96
just exit the program earlier than we
2,125.92
5.04
might otherwise so let me go ahead and
2,128.88
3.84
do this let me go ahead and remove my
2,130.96
3.68
comments so as to focus only on the code
2,132.72
5.44
here and let me propose that instead of
2,134.64
6
just printing quote unquote too few
2,138.16
4.32
arguments i'm going to use one other
2,140.64
4
function that comes with the sys module
2,142.48
5.44
i'm going to go ahead and call sys.exit
2,144.64
4.959
and as the name suggests it's going to
2,147.92
3.84
do exactly that with the systems help
2,149.599
4.561
it's going to exit my program then and
2,151.76
5.68
there on line four why is that okay well
2,154.16
4.88
if you gave me too few arguments i have
2,157.44
3.6
nothing more to say to you the user i
2,159.04
4.319
might as well exit a bit prematurely and
2,161.04
4.319
i can do this as well on line six let's
2,163.359
3.361
go ahead and not just print that but
2,165.359
3.841
sys.exit quote-unquote too many
2,166.72
4.24
arguments print out that message and
2,169.2
3.6
just exit right there
2,170.96
4
now i can trust that by the time i get
2,172.8
5.279
to line eight every error condition has
2,174.96
5.44
been checked for and so it's safe for me
2,178.079
5.52
to assume that there is in fact an item
2,180.4
6.8
at location one in sys.rgv so let me go
2,183.599
5.361
ahead now and run this
2,187.2
4.879
python of name dot pi enter too few
2,188.96
5.44
arguments but i'm back at my prompt
2,192.079
4.481
nothing more has happened let me run it
2,194.4
4.8
again python of name dot pi david malen
2,196.56
5.279
with no quotes enter too many arguments
2,199.2
5.12
is now printed here finally python of
2,201.839
5.841
name dot pi just david enter hello my
2,204.32
6.08
name is david so we have then insists
2,207.68
4.48
two forms of functionality now we have
2,210.4
4.08
access to this variable sys.rgv this
2,212.16
4.4
argument vector that gives me all of the
2,214.48
3.599
words that were typed at the prompt
2,216.56
3.76
including the program's own file name
2,218.079
4
and it turns out if we read further in
2,220.32
3.12
the documentation there's an exit
2,222.079
3.28
function that can take different types
2,223.44
4.159
of inputs but if i pass it a string like
2,225.359
4.401
this it will indeed print that string
2,227.599
4.721
for me and then exit from my program
2,229.76
3.92
then in there
2,232.32
4.24
questions now on exiting from programs
2,233.68
4.159
like this
2,236.56
3.84
to be clear all of this time once python
2,237.839
4.481
gets to the bottom of your file it's
2,240.4
3.679
going to exit anyway so i'm using
2,242.32
4
sys.exit now just to make sure that i
2,244.079
5.121
exit earlier than otherwise um my
2,246.32
5.84
question is about the cis that are
2,249.2
4.399
our v
2,252.16
4.64
so is that capable of accepting or
2,253.599
6.401
taking multiple elements at once let's
2,256.8
4.64
say for example
2,260
6.32
a python name that pi david malin i'm
2,261.44
7.919
a male uh 20 years old and if let's say
2,266.32
5.92
i only want to access your name which is
2,269.359
5.601
at the first index and then your
2,272.24
3.839
your
2,274.96
3.52
your age is brought say at the sixth
2,276.079
4.121
index can i say
2,278.48
3.28
cis.rb
2,280.2
2.919
one
2,281.76
4.24
and another one for six to access what i
2,283.119
4
just want
2,286
4.32
is that possible for cis harvey
2,287.119
5.681
uh short answer yes i think if i
2,290.32
3.759
understand your question correctly
2,292.8
3.2
whereby you're proposing to have many
2,294.079
3.601
words at the end of the command and you
2,296
3.52
want to access those individual words
2,297.68
4.56
absolutely at some point it gets a
2,299.52
4.64
little fragile i would say if you're
2,302.24
4.08
typing so many words at the prompt that
2,304.16
5.199
the order really matters and so it turns
2,306.32
4.4
out there's a lot of programs and
2,309.359
2.801
there's functionality in python that can
2,310.72
4.16
allow you to provide those values like
2,312.16
5.04
name or age or any number of other
2,314.88
6.239
fields in any order you want but pass in
2,317.2
5.919
