Kaggle exercises
Hello everyone, I am now about halfway through the Python fundamentals course on kaggle. But I'm faced with a problem on the Loops and List Comprehension excercise. I was showing my little brother some of the cool things you could do, but whilst showing him I messed up one of my exercises, I kept looking for a way to reset the notebook to have the original code of the exercise back, but I can't find any way to do this. I decided to continue the rest of the excercises and keep searching after, now that I've completed all the rest there's one excercise left I have to complete to get 100% which is the one where I've lost the code for. I can't find any way to get a reset version of the notebook, can anyone help me out there. Thanks in advance.

@Folorunsho Abiodun Nice to see people here who recognize each other 😁
Hands-on after Python?
This might be a bit premature, but here goes: I recently finished Python Fundamentals as prescribed by Chapter 1 Fundamentals in Alchemy Codex. This was very hands on with no shortage of ways to expand my knowledge in it. As I continue working through the training videos, I do not see a lot of hands-on "Assignments" or tasks though there are some great (and a lot of) introductions to various tools and methods (such as Project structure, Black...). As a hands-on learner (and a new programmer), I need to do something myself in order to remember it. I am concerned that when we finally get to more hands-on projects, I will forget how to use these various tools and methods currently being introduced. Of course I can always come back and re-watch these if/ when they are needed. Buut I would really love to know if/ when things get hands-on again. Perhaps I should be trying to imitate what is being presented in the video (even though the instructor is not saying we should); I just don't want to do too much (and possibly overload my machine) either if I should just be having a brief intro to a topic instead of actually doing at at this point in my training. Has anybody who completed Chapter 1 have a similar experience? Any advice is appreciated :)

@Michael Temporal Darell Thanks Michael. I will try this.
Help with using Command to run Python
Running the Command Prompt for "conda info" returns "'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." When I check my Programs Installed, I see "Anaconda3 2023.09-0 (Python 3.11.5 64-bit". What are the recommended next steps. 1. Uninstall/ reinstall Anaconda? 2. Modify my command prompt? I am on Chapter 1, the lesson right after intro to Python. Thank you in advance for suggestions.

@Dejan M Thank you!
A Non-programmer getting satisfaction from Coding!!
Many years ago when I was taking my first programming course (C+), a fellow student said there are two types of students 1) those who love programming, and 2) those who "want" to love it. I did not feel like I was of the former, but his statement likely impacted me so I did not feel like programming was "for me". I firmly believe now that whatever we DO with our time, we will become better at, and whatever we spend our time doing (and feel the satisfaction of getting better), we will enjoy more, and even come to feel "love" for. I am excited to say that I am 50% through the Python course (as part of Data Alchemy's HW). Still plugging away! To anyone who may not feel like coding is "natural" to them, I feel the same way most of the time, but I also enjoy when I "get" a code on the first try! Programming is not going anywhere, so we who are working towards having an understanding of it, will be in a much better position to help others (and the world) than those who do not understand it! Keep pushing through! Consistency is key!

@A Rose Thanks A. Rose. I agree. For me ( and other non-programmers), having the goal in mind of learning AI, and being able to implement it in our respective fields, is a huge motivator.

@David Ritchie I actually find that my C course from many years ago has given me a bit of "fundamental" when learning python. How's Python for you?
How to get to Anaconda Prompt from Command Prompt
As you can see below in the top image, the Command prompt does not recognize "jupyter notebook". However when I "search" for "Anaconda" on my Windows comp, there is an "Anaconda Prompt" (second image) which DOES recognize the jupyter notebook. There should be a way to run jupyter notebook from the command prompt without having to do a search for "Anaconda prompt". My question is how to do this. Has anyone had a similar experience?

@Zachary Mwarari I'll have to think about this. Not sure off hand what the anaconda navigator is. Is it a separate download from what is default in this course for downloading?
