Hi I want to teach my friend who codes in C how to code in Python but I don’t know anything about C so I cant compare them to help him out so can someone help me teach him

The step from C to Python shouldn’t be that hard (my personal experience), so you could just start from scratch, covering the basics, without referencing any C. My guess would be that your friend will make fast progress.
Another option: why don’t you start learning C from them while teaching Python. You could do little projects in both, C and Python, and explore the differences together.

so you’re saying either don’t reference C at all or we teach each other and find out the differences together? (just trying to get clarification this isn’t meant to sound rude)

Yeah, I think that’s a good approach.

Sorry for the late reply: Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. If you are running out of ideas for small challenges, you could look into Exercism’s Python track, which also provides explanations for a few fundamental Python concepts.

CSS is not similar to Python. It is a stylesheet language that defines the appearance of something.
Just start from the beginning.

CSS isn’t a programming language so it isn’t comparable to Python.
