As always I have tried to explain each and everything in this post in such a way that it is easy for everyone to understand. If you have any doubt or didn't understand anything then please do comment in the comment box below and I will be glad to help you.

Actually I have written this post, for hosting SVG images on blogger. But that doesn't seem to work and I have converted the post to a simple file sharing post so that my work will not be wasted and help people who are in need of this post. I am hoping that this post has helped you with something.

Thank you. Have a nice day.😋

Problem 60 Project Euler Solution with python

Prime pair sets The primes 3, 7, 109, and 673, are quite remarkable. By taking any two primes and concatenating them in any order the result will always be prime. For example, taking 7 and 109, both 7109 and 1097 are prime. The sum of these four primes, 792, represents the lowest sum for a set of four primes with this property. Find the lowest sum for a set of five primes for which any two primes concatenate to produce another prime. This problem is j u st a brute force problem. If you have come here because you don't know the limit upto which you will h ave to gener ate the prime numbers t hen go ahe ad and t r y with 10,000 . When I first start ed solving the problem I chose 1 million(beca use most of the problem s on project E uler have this limit ), but it took very long for the computer to fin d the solution. After searching on the internet then I found many people choosing 10, 000 so I have changed my in put f rom 1 million to 10000 and the output was f ast. He...

Making a quiz web app with python and flask

Edit : When you are creating a web app with h tml templates, then y ou will have to sa ve the html file in templates folder in the Current Wor ki ng Directory( CWD).

After reading this tutorial you will learn form submission , flask templates , python code in flask templates , shuffling the questions and options with the random module and few others.  Please note that this tutorial is not big as it seems to be.
