<p>Tpomdreams: /* I think this can be more &quot;Noob&quot; friendly */ new section</p> <hr /> <div><br /> == In response to 24.20.222.206 who reverted my changes and commented &quot;Make code better, again&quot; ==<br /> <br /> How is it 'better' to leave the computer running when it's not needed?<br /> Assuming this is the desired behaviour, why is it 'better' to reboot the computer each time instead of using a loop?<br /> And assuming ''that'' is the desired behaviour, why is it 'better' to have the call to os.reboot() repeated inside the if blocks instead of once after the if?<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> 24.20.22.206:<br /> Loop uses more memory. Also, there's no difference, do you really care that much?<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ::I reverted changes from two users. This guide is supposed to be a reasonably low level tutorial. Simply slapping code on a page is not a tutorial, hence the previous version with screen shots is more noob friendly. Secondly, the latter version used variables that don't need to be variables.

I was learning how to make a password protected lock and i understood all of it, until it said, &quot; Now to start it, we have the computer call the function after it declares it.&quot; This confused me very much and i was hoping someone could clarify or edit the page to be even more &quot;Noob&quot; friendly.</div>
