Okay, so I wanted to mess around with this “as broadcast” thing in Python, and I gotta say, it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it’d be. Here’s how the whole thing went down, bumps and all.
First Steps: Getting the Idea
I started by just trying to understand what “as broadcast” actually * is all about sending the same message to multiple places at once,like *, my initial thought was, “Okay, I probably need some kind of list to represent the ‘listeners’.”
The Messy Implementation
I started with a simple function, it took a message and a list of “receivers.” My receivers were just basic print functions. I felt like I was on the right track.
Here’s what that looked like:
def broadcast_message(message, receivers):
for receiver in receivers:
receiver(message)
def print_to_console(message):
print(f"Console: {message}")
def log_to_file(message):
#I pretend to writing log to a file
print(f"pretend file log: {message}")
Testing it Out (and Failing a Little)
I then I figured out I had all the functions to test.I created my list of receivers – one to print to the console, another to pretend to log to a file, and so on.
I created a list of receivers.
I called my broadcast_message function with a test message.
My test run:
receivers = [print_to_console, log_to_file]
broadcast_message("Hello, everyone!", receivers)
The output was awesome!
Console: Hello, everyone!
pretend file log: Hello, everyone!
Final Thoughts
It is not a very complicated tech,but I still feel good to implement this function from * this is a very basic implmentation,it successfully achieved my goal.
