Being a programmer means having to juggle many hats -- two important ones being the mathematician-hat and the machine-hat, also called declaration and 'imperation' Get only the first and your programs will run very inefficiently. Get only the second and your program will have bugs.<br>
<br>Specifically in the case of list comprehensions the newbie needs<br>- to practice thinking of the comprehension like a set comprehension and ignoring computation sequences<br>- to practice thinking of comprehension in terms of map/filter etc ie operationally<br>
