In addition to all concepts from Quiz 1
You should be able to define the following terms:
- data types: boolean, list
- branching and looping
- the accumulator design pattern
- slicing and indexing
You should understand and be able to use the following Python concepts:
- basic arithmetic expressions using +, -, *, /, **, %
- conversion between the int, float, and str types
- reading in strings using raw_input()
- the empty string ""
- string concatenation with +, repetition with *
- string and list indexing with []
- string and list slicing with [:]
- for loops over strings and lists
- len()
- tracing a program (show the variable values and output)
- if, if/else, if/elif/else
- relational operators <, <=, ==, >, >=, !=
- boolean operators and, or, and not
- random library functions: randrange(), choice()
- nested statements (an if/else inside a loop)
- print formatting
Practice problems:
- Show the value and type of each of the following, given these assignments:
x = 5
y = 13
ls = ["pony", "zebra", "donkey", "unicorn"]
s = "we love computer science"
x < 10 and y < 10
x < 10 or y < 10
x < 10 and x > 0
x > 10 or x < 0
range(1,100,10)
(5/y) > 7.0
len(s) >= 10
range(len(ls))
s[8:12] + s[17:20]
len(ls[2])
- Trace the following program and show it's output:
x = 3
print 0,x
for i in range(1,6):
if x % 2 == 0:
x = x / 2
else:
x = (3*x+1)/2
print i,x
- Write a program that accepts 5 grades (0-100) from the user and
displays the average of all 5 grades, as well as the corresponding
letter grade for each input (where A is >= 90, B is 80-89, etc):
grade: 96
that's an A
grade: 86
that's a B
grade: 76
that's a C
grade: 66
that's a D
grade: 56
that's an F
the average of those is: 76.0
- Write a program that asks the user to enter some text and then
displays that text with all e's and E's replaced with 3's and all s's
and S's replaced by 5's. For example, if the user enters the phrase
"WE love COMPUTER science", your program would display this: W3 lov3
COMPUT3R 5ci3nc3
