#how to make a list with all number from 0-99

mynumbers = range(5)

for num in my numbers:
    print (num)

Example: Create function

def calc (num1,num2, operation) :
    if operation == "sum":
        return sum(num1,num2)
    elif operation == "product" :
        return product(num1,num2)
    elif operation == "diff" :
        return diff(num1,num2)
    elif operation == "div" :
        return div(num1,num2)
    
def sum (a, b) :
    return a + b
    
def product (a, b) :
    return a *b

def diff (a, b) :
    return a - b

def div (a, b) :
    if b != 0:
        return a /b
    else:
        print("Error")
    

print (calc(10, 0, "div"))

print (calc(1,2,"sum"))
print (calc(4,2,"diff"))
print (calc(9,3,"div"))
print (calc(2,12,"product"))

Maximum

 write a function that returns the largest of two values
# name: max2
# arguments: num1, num2
# return: the largest value
def max2 (num1,num2):
    maxvalue = num1
    
    if num2 > maxvalue:
        maxvalue = num2
    return maxvalue

print (max2(3,4))

# write a function that returns the largest of three values
# name: max3
# arguments: num1, num2, num3
# return: the largest value 

def max3 (num1,num2,num3):
    maxvalue = num1
    
    if num2 > maxvalue:
        maxvalue = num2
   
    if num3 > maxvalue:
        maxvalue = num3
        
    return maxvalue

print (max3(3,4,8))

# write a function that returns the largest number in a list
# name: maxlist
# argument: list
# returns the largest value in the list


def maxlist (list):
    maxvalue = list[0]
    for item in list:
        if item > maxvalue:
            maxvalue = item
            
    return maxvalue

list = [1,2,3,6,19,50,2,4,5]
print (maxlist(list))

Range()

#creates a list of numbers from 0 to the specified
number
numberlist = range(5)
# is the same as creating the following list
numberlist2 = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
for num in range(100):
    print (num) # prints all numbers from 0 – 99
for num in range(5, 50):
    print(num) #prints all numbers from 5 - 49

From Worksheet

Write a program that repeatedly receives positive integers from the user. When the user enters a negative integer, exit the loop an print how many of the number entered were odd and even.

evencount = 0 
oddcount = 0
while True:
     user_input = int(input("Enter the number: "))
     if user_number < 0:
        print("Even: ",evencount)
        print("Odd: ",oddcount)
        break
     elif user_input > 0:
        if user_input % 2 ==0:#even
           evencount = evencount + 1
        else:
           oddcount = oddcount + 1

Even number from -100 to -1(While loop)

num = 0
while num > -100
   number = num -2
   print (num)

From worksheet

Determines that number is negative, positive or zero
Ex; 4 is positive / 0 is Zero / -8 is negative
user_num = input ("Enter the number")
user_num = int(user_num)
If user_num == 0
      print (user_num,"iszero")
elif user_num < 0:
      print (user_num," is negative")
elif user_num > 0:
      print( user_num, "is positive")

Write a functi­on(­mul­tip­lic­ation table)

def multipicationTable():
   user_input = int(input("Enter a number: ")
   num = 1
   while num <= 10 :
       print (user_input, "", "num", "=", "user_inputnum")
       num = num + 1

Exercise

'''1. Write a program that uses a for loop to print out all the items from a list
   called theList'''
theList = [1,2,3,4]
for item in theList:
    print(item)

'''2. Write a program that uses a while loop to print out all the items from a list
   called whileList'''
whileList=['bacon', 'cokezero', 'pepsi']

Naming Convention

Rule for giving name              
- letter                                   
- numbers                            
- underscore_ 
                      
Valid name  
- _myStr
- my3
- Hello_there

Invalid name
- 3my="hi" --cannot start with number
- first name="hi'
- first-name

Convert to binary

user_number = ' '

while user_number != ' 0 ' :
      user_number = input("Enter a number to convert to binary")
      number = int(user_number)
      binary_string = ' '

while(number > 0):
       remainder = number%2
       binary_string = str(remainder)+ binary_string
       number = number/ /2
print("Binary string is", binary_string)
number = number/ / 2

print("Binary string is", binary_string)

Countdown Machine

user_number = input(:What number do you want to countdown?")
number = int(user_number)
countdown_string = ' '

while number > 0:
      countdown_number = countdown_string + str(number) + " "
      number = number - 1
#print(number)

print (countdown_string)

Example

Print (2) - integer
Print (2.5) - floating point
Print ("He­llo­") - string
Print (mystr) - variable
Print (mystr. "­Hi",­2,1.0) -- commas

mystr = "­Hi"
mystr ◀︎ name
"­Hi" ◀︎ value can change

mtstr (int(int)) ➤ 1
print (int("2­")) ➤ 2
print (float(1)) ➤ 1.0 anything to a float

Example

def myprint(text) : #mtvar is an argument (parameter) to he function
    print ("" + str(text) + "")
    return #return exists the function

myprint(1)
myprint(2.5)
myprint("hello")


def myprintnew(text, decoration) : #text and decoration are arguments to the function
    print (decoration + text + decoration)
    return

myprintnew("hello", "+++")
myprintnew("hello", "-=-=-=-=-=")
myprintnew("hello", ">>>>>>")



def doubleIt(number) :
    return number * 2 #return value

print (timesTwo(2))

myvar + timesTwo(timesTwo(3)) #same as timesTwo(6) bacuse timesTwo(3) == 6
print (myvar) # it will display 12



def areaOfCircle(r):

    if r <= 0:
        return "Error: invalid radius"
    
    pi = 3.1415
    area = pi  r * 2
    return area

user_radius = float(input("Enter the radius: ")

print("The area of the circle is", areaOfCircle(user_radius))

Condit­ional While Loop

count = 0 # start at zero
while count < 10: # loop while count is less than 10
        print(count) #will print numbers 0 - 9
        count = count + 1 #must increase count

Printing values:

print("hello", "there") #displays hello there
print("hello" + "there") #displays hellothere

For‐Loop with List:

forlist = [3, 4, 5, 2, 1]
for item in forlist:
   print(item)

While Loop with List:

thelist = [4, 3, 2, 1, 0]
index = 0 # start at the first item
while index < len(thelist):
      print (thelist[index]) #prints each item
      index = index + 1

Comments

# hashtag – everything after # is a comment not code
"""
Double quote - Multi-line comment, everything in
between three double quotes is a comments
"""
''' Single quote - Multi-line comment, everything in
between three single quotes is a comments '''

From worksheet

0
01
012
0123
01234
mystring = " "
count = 0
while count < 5:
    mystring = mystring + str(count0
    print (mystring)
    count = count + 1

From worksheet

Use a for loop to print the following:
0
012
0123
01234

mystring = ""
for num in range(5)
     mystring = mystring + str(num)
     print (mystring)

From worksheet

Create a program to receive a number from the user and determine if that number is divisible by3.
Example:
- 9 is divisible by 3.
- 7 is not divisible by 3.

user_num = int(input("Enter the number: "))
if user_num%3 == 0:
   print(user_num, "is divisible by 3")
else:
   print(user_num, " is not divisible by 3")

Print all items in the list

Give a list called mylist, print all items in the list using a loop.
mylist = [1,2,3,4]
for item in mylist:
    print (mylist)

Another method
num = 0
while num < len(mylist)
     print(mylist[num])
     num = num + 1
