Tuesday - Thursday (2/18/13 - 2/20/13)

Warmup:

Agenda:

  • Open your Acey Deucey flowchart and make sure that you have your name on the chart (use a textbox or label)
  • If you have not shared your flowchart yet, then you need to do so as of right now. It is now considered late.
  • Complete Acey Deucey Rules
    1. Pair up with a partner
    2. Title the document: Acey Deucey Rules
    3. Create a shared document between the two of you
    4. Put both your names on the document
    5. List all the rules of Acey Deucey
    6. Every missing rule will cost a letter grade
    7. Share your document with Mr. Bui
  • Acey Deucey Design
    1. You will complete this assignment individually
    2. Create a Google Document
    3. Title the document: Acey Deucey Design
    4. Share the document with Mr. Bui
    5. Write out all the steps to the Acey Deucey game in your own words
      • Be sure to include every step of the game
      • Be sure to completely describe your steps
      • You must include all the rules that you previously listed
      • This step-by-step design will help you code the game
      • You should use your flowchart to help you cover every step
      • If your flowchart is bad, then you must deal with it because that's your own fault.

Friday (2/15/13)

Warmup:

  • Play Acey Deucey
    • You can use a piece of scratch paper to keep track of the money that the player and pot have

Agenda:

  • Acey Deucey Game
    1. Open a Google Drawing using your APS Google Drive
    2. Create a flowchart for the game of Acey Deucey
      • Rules are in the first paragraph
      • You need to be sure to include all the rules in your flow chart
    3. Be sure to use the standard flowchart symbols: Media:Flowcharts.ppt
    4. Share your complete flowchart with Mr. Bui
    5. Due by Monday (2/18/13) at 3PM (on-line via shared Google Doc)

Wednesday - Thursday (2/13/13 - 2/14/13)

Agenda:

  • Review your War Card Game code
  • War Card Game Quiz
  • Acey Deucey Game
    1. Open a Google Drawing using your APS Google Drive
    2. Create a flowchart for the game of Acey Deucey
      • Rules are in the first paragraph
    3. Be sure to use the standard flowchart symbols: Media:Flowcharts.ppt
    4. Share your complete flowchart with Mr. Bui
    5. Due by Monday (2/18/13) at 3PM (on-line via shared Google Doc)
  • Next class, bring a deck of cards from home if you have one

Monday - Tuesday (2/11/13 - 2/12/13)

Warmup:

  1. Login to CodingBat
  2. Complete 3 exercises from List-1
    • first_last6
    • same_first_last
    • make_pi
  3. If you have already completed them, then complete 1 exercise from List-2

Agenda:

  • Finish coding the War card game
  • Reading/commenting code exercise
  • Quiz on the War code on Wednesday (2/13/13), Thursday (2/14/13)
  • List & String Practice Problem
    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. You can test our your code using the following file: Media:Names.txt
    3. See if you can write it in fewer lines of code

Wednesday - Friday (2/6/13 - 2/9/13)

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.
    3. Assume you have a single data file with 1000 random numbers from 0 to 100. Print out the frequency of each of the numbers.
      • 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)

    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
      • 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
