quote?
Thanks

There is no strong reason to use one and avoid the other. Yet, while
representin g strings, Python itself has a _preference_ for single
quotes.
I use "double quoted strings" in almost all cases because I
think it's easier to see than 'single quoted quotes'.

I prefer the look of '''single triple''' to """double triple""" but a
while back I noticed pydoc doesn't work as well with single triple
quotes. When I posted here, Kent Johnson was kind enough to tease out
of me what I was on about and file a bug:

Best to all,

between spaghetti marinara and spaghetti pescatora?" and attempt to
subtract one from the other, since subtraction is not defined for
foodstuffs.
>>> sum(ord(c) for c in 'spaghetti marinara') - sum(ord(c) for c in "spaghetti pescatora")
-119
Works for me... ;-)
Yes, but if you had thought about the problem a little longer, you would
have removed the spaghetti from both, since they just cancel each other.
Although that does assume that the commutative law holds for pasta
products.
Personally, I prefer this answer:
import sets
sets.Set("spagh etti marinara") - sets.Set("spagh etti pescatora")
Set(['m', 'n'])

I'm studying Craig Larman's "Applying uml and Patterns" (third ed.)
reading at the book it seems (16.6) that Operations and Methods in a
Class diagram are something different but it's not explained what's the
difference.
I always thought they were the same thing.
Do someone knows what's the difference?
thanx alot

I thought this would already be covered here, but my search turned up nothing.
In VS2005, if I use "String" to define a new variable/class, it colors it in
the Aqua color as it does other classes. But if I use "string", it colors it
in Navy blue as in C# reserved words (e.g. private, void, foreach, etc).
What is the diff?
