Drawing a Shape

  • Objective: Write a basic Python program to draw a shape on the screen.

  • Method: Utilize print statements to output a triangle shape.

  • Execution: Python executes the print statements in order, creating a visual representation of a triangle.

  • Solution Code:

 print("/\\")
  print("/  \\")
  print("/    \\")
  print("/______\\")

Building a Basic Calculator

  • Goal: Create a simple calculator that adds two user-input numbers.

  • Process:

    • Get two numbers from the user.
    • Convert the input from strings to numbers.
    • Add the numbers and print the result.

  • Challenges: Addressing Python's default behavior of treating input as strings.

  • Solution Code:

num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))
result = num1 + num2
print("The sum is: " + str(result))

Mad Libs Game

  • Concept: Develop a Mad Libs game where users input words to complete a story.

  • Implementation:

    • Prompt the user for various types of words (e.g., color, plural noun, celebrity).
    • Insert these words into a pre-defined story template.

  • Example: Modify a classic poem with user inputs to create humorous outcomes.

  • Solution Code:

color = input("Enter a color: ")
plural_noun = input("Enter a plural noun: ")
celebrity = input("Enter a celebrity: ")
print("Roses are " + color)
print(plural_noun + " are blue")
print("I love " + celebrity)

Building a Better Calculator

  • Objective: Enhance the basic calculator to handle addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

  • Features:

    • Allow the user to choose the operation.
    • Perform the chosen arithmetic operation on two user-input numbers.

  • User Input Handling: Use if statements to determine the operation based on user input.

  • Solution Code:

num1 = float(input("Enter first number: "))
op = input("Enter operator: ")
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: "))

if op == "+":
    print(num1 + num2)
elif op == "-":
    print(num1 - num2)
elif op == "*":
    print(num1 * num2)
elif op == "/":
    print(num1 / num2)
else:
    print("Invalid operator")

Building a Guessing Game

  • Game Concept: Create a game where the user guesses a secret word.

  • Functionality:

    • Store a secret word in the program.
    • Allow the user to input guesses.
    • Continue prompting for guesses until the user guesses the secret word correctly.

  • Solution Code:

secret_word = "giraffe"
guess = ""
while guess != secret_word:
    guess = input("Enter guess: ")
print("You win!")
