What is __pycache__ - A way for the computer to simplify and "perfect" your messy code for max efficiency, possibly removing redundancy, ByteCode.
Why range(0,len(alpha)-1)
- len counts the elements in a set, list, array, etc. because I am counting from 0 to the length with my random assignment I will get 'out of bounds' with randint. This occurs because I am counting from zero (0) so a set(list whatevs) being measured by len will count the objects in that list and the number 0. Example below.
a = ['la', 'di', 'da']
len(a) == 3
range(0,len(a)) would be equal to 0,1,2,3 this is four (4) numbers, which is not representative of the size (len) of the set(list, it's a list, I know)
BTW there is a difference between sets, lists, arrays, and similar concepts buuuuut that is for another day. Still go and research it yourself!
