Python Programing

 

Read Chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 of Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist from http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkPython/html/index.html. Or get the pdf file of the book at the same site.

  1. Finish running all the examples in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 of Think Python: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist by yourself in Python shell interactive command mode or IDLE editor window. Collect all output of your running examples and submit them in one text file named CSC111-Case3-Examples-YourFirstNameLastname
  2. Finish coding the following exercises in Python, run them and collect the running results into a file named CSC111-Case3-Exercises-YourFirstNameLastName and submit it.
    1. Exercise 1.3
    2. Exercise 2.3
    3. Exercise 3.3
    4. Exercise 3.4
    5. Exercise 5.4 
    6. Exercise 7.3

Note: When you program the exercises you can name them whatever you want, such as ex3-1.py or count-nums.py but the submitted file should provide name of the exercise, source code, and running results.

  1. Finally, write a summary document named CSC111-Case3Summary-YourFirstNameLastName to report what you have learned from this Case Assignment or other learning experience.
