       Internet's been off at work so I haven't been updating, but I am still learning python every day 😃

       Instead of struggling with the hangman game every day, today and yesterday, I started working on a Time Table program. My proudest part that I wrote today is this function that takes a number and formats it into 8am or 12pm etc.

       I'm intending to use a dictionary variable to define the names of the courses in the time table, the days they are held (like Monday & Wednesday), and the times they are held.

       mainly I'm happy to figure out how to use functions since that was very confusing to me, but I think I kinda get it now. I didn't realize the variables in a function are local and not global.

       @skimlines I've been writing python on and off for about seven years and still periodically forget how the *&$! do I get a variable in and out of that dictionary and google it 😂 then again virtually all coders are constantly googling *everything* so there's that
