Warmup:

• Assume you have the following code:

1 i = 0
2 while i < 10:
3     print "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
4     i = i + 1

Agenda:

Monday (11/15/10)

Warmup:

• Assume you have the following code:

1 a = 0
2 b = 1
3 c = 0
4 a = a + 1
5 c = c + 1
6 b = a * c
7 c = c + 1

• What are the final values of a, b, and c?

Agenda:

• Introduction to Iteration (looping)
  • while loops
  • counter variables
• Looping practice
  • Print out all the numbers from 0-50
  • Print out all the numbers from 75 down to 25
  • Write a loop that prints out the first 100 even numbers
  • Prompt the user for a number and store it in a variable n, then print out the first n odd numbers (starting at 1) using a loop
  • Print out all the numbers that are divisible by 6 from 0 through 100

Monday (11/8/10)

Warmup:

1. Prompt the user to enter a decimal (float) number and store in variable x
2. print int(x)
3. print round(x)
4. Test out your program using several numbers (e.g. 3.2, 4.5, 5.9)
5. What do you think the int() and round() functions do?

Agenda:

  • if the grade is less than 90 and the grade is greater than or equal to 80, then print "You have a B"
  • if the grade is less than 80 and the grade is greater than or equal to 70, then print "You have a C"
  • if the grade is less than 70 and the grade is greater than or equal to 60, then print "You have a D"
  • if the grade is less than 60, then print "You have an E"
