Day 4 Learning Summary for #100DaysOfCode

Goal

I want to continue list comprehension exercises. My goal is to learn enough about list comprehension to efficiently finish the coding for day 2.

I also got interested yesterday in someone’s GitHub.io biography which made me want to learn how to do that.

My Approach

List Comprehension

List Comprehension

Other Learning

I learned that Markdown doesn’t like anything other than alphanumeric characters and hyphens in the headers if you want to create a table of contents. All of these were a no-go: , | & ' "
