Revision as of 10:30, 7 February 2013

Wednesday - Thursday (2/6/13 - 2/7/13)

Agenda:

  • Course Request Forms
  • Demo Advanced Python List Exercises
  • More List Documentation
  • War Card Game walk-through
    1. Read the War Rules
    2. On a blank piece of paper, create a flow chart for the rules and steps of War. Be sure to include the following steps:
      • Shuffle deck
      • Deal deck halves to 2 players
      • Each player reveals top card
      • Player with higher card puts both cards at the bottom of his/her deck
      • If both players' cards match, then there is "war"
        1. Both players put 3 cards face down, and reveal 4th card face up. Player with higher card takes all 10 cards
    3. We will code the War card game as a class using our flow chart
  • List & String Practice
    1. Assume you have a list of strings of peoples' full names in random order. Print out an alphabetized list of only the last names.
    2. Assume you have a single string containing the entire U.S. Constitution. Calculate and print out the frequency of the word "the"
      • Download the following file: Media:Constitution.txt
      • Hint: There is a useful string function converts a string to a list of words.
      • Example code to help read in a file:
# open a text file
file = open("Constitution.txt", "r")

# read all lines in the file and save in the constitution string variable
constitutionStr = file.read()

# close the file
file.close()

print(constitutionStr)

Monday - Tuesday (2/4/13 - 2/5/13)

Agenda:

  • Complete Advanced Python List Exercises by Wednesday (2/6/13)
  • If you are done with all the exercises, then do the following:
    1. Read up on the rules of blackjack
    2. Draw a simple flowchart for a simple blackjack game (Vegas rules). Be sure to use the flowchart symbols
  • List & String Practice
    1. Assume you have a list of strings of peoples' full names in random order. Print out an alphabetized list of only the last names.
    2. Assume you have a single string containing the entire U.S. Constitution. Calculate and print out the frequency of the word "the"
      • Download the following file: Media:Constitution.txt

# open a text file
file = open("Constitution.txt", "r")

# read all lines in the file and save in the constitution string variable
constitutionStr = file.read()

# close the file
file.close()

print(constitutionStr)

Warmup:

  • What is the value of the list after the following code executes?
nums = [8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9]
nums[0] = 5
nums[nums[0]] = 1
nums[len(nums)-1] = nums[1] + nums[2]
nums[3] = nums[4]
