There is material about how to turn in lab assignments in this class, tips on writing functions, and bits of info. ** USE IT.**
Other material posted here includes a variety of silly Monty Python pictures. Yes, I love Monty Python.
Final Exam will be in classroom on Tuesday, December 13th at 2:00pm.
Example questions for Final as discussed in class -
Final sample questions
There is also some code from class added at the end of the Python bits section
Example answers for Test 2 as gone over in class- Dr. T's example Test 2 answers (MS Word format)
Example questions for Test 2 -
Example test questions
- not actual test questions
From Test 1: Examples of the kinds of questions Dr. T asks on tests -
Possible test question TYPES
- not actual test questions
Notes from test question discussion
It will cover anything we have covered in class up to that time, any material from the chapters we have covered in the book, and any material you would have learned in the course of working on the lab homework assignments.
The test will be closed book, no computers or electronics. You may bring handwritten notes or notes typed during class and printed out. You may bring printed copies of the lab assignments you have turned in. I will check this material during the test. I will also check IDs during the test so bring your ID to class that day.
Come to class! It's fun!
Download the Python interpreter and IDLE development environment from www.python.org
Download the free textbook "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist - Learning with Python"
as PDF from
http://greenteapress.com/thinkpython/thinkCSpy/
or read it on-line at
http://openbookproject.net/thinkcs/python/english2e/
Another reference that I found and rather like is "Learn Python the hard way" which is an HTML book (also available as a PDF download and a printed version). This has lots of exercises and straightforward content.
** Assignments **
Lab Homework III
Note 1: You do NOT have to implement input using argv. However, you MUST read the file name from the user instead.
Note 2: You may use the string method lower, i.e. yourstring.lower(), to convert yourstring to all lower case letters. This is not required.
Lab Homework IV
NOTE: Some very specific deductions have been added to the assignment! You may NOT use:
break
try / except - in any way other than specified by the assignment
Lab Homework V
NOTE: Check the due DATES for design document and lab assignment.
Check out the extra credit for early submission.
NO LATE LABS accepted for Lab V.
NOTE: The same deductions as for Lab IV apply to the assignment! You may NOT use:
break
continue
try / except - in any way other than to check file existence
Note: I added a little sample Python code (in Python bits) showing the difference in using the dictionary from using the object.

** Python bits (noted here as Dr. T discovers them or messes them up) **
Use of the type function in a test -
The indenting problem Dr. T had in class -
The program to read words from a text file. The version we got to on the first day is
here.
This is the version that has an infinite loop in it. The version that we ended with on the second day is
this one.
This version makes the list from the words also.
Two programs from class - one talking about
attributes.
and one where we did the
age and dates example
.
To compare the type of something, for example a variable named lumberjack, to the standard types, ex. int, you would compare type(lumberjack) == int. Do not put the type in quotes of any sort.
When I went back to look at it, I rechecked the indenting starting with the while loop first. I made sure it was OK then matched the if/elif indents to that level and now it works. You can look at the
corrected version
and a
refined version
with better comments and user messages
