Mad Libs 1 [Python]

Taken from https://teals-introcs.gitbooks.io/2nd-semester-introduction-to-computer-science-pri/units/1_unit/06_lesson/project.html

Overview: Using Python, students will use variables, input, and printing to create a Mad Lib. You will also practice designing a project by planning out your Mad Lib before implementing it. Part of the project is to use your creativity to design your own unique story.

The program will print out the title of the Mad Libs story, as well as a short explanation of game play

 A Day in NYC: a Mad Lib.
  Welcome! You are about to play a fantastic word game. 
  I will ask you for nouns, verbs, adjectives, proper nouns and adverbs. 
  Using those words I will create an unexpected story for you!

A Day in NYC: a Mad Lib.

Welcome! You are about to play a fantastic word game.

I will ask you for nouns, verbs, adjectives, proper nouns and adverbs.

Using those words I will create an unexpected story for you!

The program should then prompt the user to enter in nouns, verbs, adjectives, proper nouns, and adverbs

Implementation Details

Plan out your story on pencil and paper first, before you start implementing the program.

Create your story
Select the missing words
Determine each words part of speech
Create introduction
Create questions
Divide story into print statements

As mentioned above the program must request words from the user. The following must be included in the program:

10 different words inputted
Variable names should correspond to the part of speech requested and part of the story they belong to (e.g. noun1, verb2, etc)
You may only use 3 print statements to tell your story

Meaning of “==”

Here’s how you get to “==” in Alice. It’s a world function. (and it must be put into an if test)

Space Ship Repair Post Mortems

Look at the code below:

Can you see why this student lost credit :

The student did a good job using a function and storing a value in the variable, walkDistance; however, they never then used that variable .

Space Ship Repairs [Post mortems]

Example 1 :

The code below is almost correct , but the variable walkingDistance is never used by the move method !

Alice Unit 4 [Loops] Assignments

Assignment 4.1)

Centigrade to Fahrenheit Modification: Modify the Fahrenheit to centigrade project as follows.

Use a while loop to do as many temperature conversations as the user wants
Ask the user for yes no (help)

Assignment 4.2)

Miles Per Gallon Modification: Modify the miles per gallon project in the same way as the prior exercise.

At the start, ask the user how many mpg conversions, they want to convert.
Then use a loop to do that many conversions

4.25 ) Guess Animal’s weight assignment

Assignment 4.3) Open assignment. Your open project must have each of the following criteria

a variable
store the return value of a function into that variable
a loop of some kind

4.4 Rock Paper Scissors

Nested Loops Projects

Nested Loop Starter Code

void nestedLoopDemo(){

    for (int row = 1 ; row <= 4 ; row++)
	{
	System.out.print("row "+ row + " : ") ;
    for (int star = 1 ; star <= row ; star++)
		{
		System.out.print("* ") ;
		}
	System.out.println() ;
	}
}

void nestedLoopDemo(){

for (int row = 1 ; row <= 4 ; row++)

{

System.out.print("row "+ row + " : ") ;

for (int star = 1 ; star <= row ; star++)

{

System.out.print("* ") ;

}

System.out.println() ;

}

Method 1) printRectangle()

Change the code from the demonstration of nested loops so that you output the following pattern below. Call this method printSqure()

Method 2 and 3)

diagAndBrders() noDiag()

Method 4)

printMultiplicationTable()

Setting up VIM

VIM is a very powerful editor.

Follow the steps below to set it up. I am using windows and you might need to slightly modify certain steps like #2 for Mac (not sure)

Part I : Install Git desktop program

1) first install git : https://git-scm.com/downloads

Part II. Install GVim

For Windows:
Download and run the executable installer
2) Uncheck “make plugin directory” at install. (We will create our own folder called “bundle” later that serves the same purpose)

For Mac:
(consider macvim and/or using homebrew)

setting up vim

For steps 3 and 4, you can just download this folder: bundle (unzip it and put it into your main Vim folder, as shown in picture above), or you can follow steps 3 and 4
3) create a folder called “bundle” in the core vim folder.
4) in “bundle”, you must put the vundle.vim folder (see picture at bottom). You must put Vundle.vim inside bundle.
5) Create a folder called ‘tmp’ . We will configure our vimrc to store temporary files there (Otherwise, they get saved in CWD and youre directories end up getting littered with lots of ugly temporary vim files)
6) Feel free to use my customized _vimrc . That file should be in your root vim folder as you can see in the screenshot at the bottom. (BTW, you must remove the “.txt” extension.)
7)Run Gvim . (If you’re using my vimrc , you’ll get an error first time, but that’s ok). The actual gVim application is in the folder called vim80 (or whatever version of gVim you’re running. If you installed vim 7.9, then you’d look in the vim79 folder or the like)
8)Let’s install some plugins using Vundle. To do, just type: the following :PluginInstall (Yes, do type the the colon)

To type you must press either “i” or “a” which puts you into insert mode.

Lynda PHP Assignments[2016-17]

Both classes

Back to SUPA 3rd/4th quarters

Should watch “history of php” from https://www.lynda.com/MySQL-tutorials/PHP-MySQL-Essential-Training/119003-2.html

and then

“configuring php” from https://www.lynda.com/MySQL-tutorials/PHP-MySQL-Essential-Training/119003-2.html

Then go to the appropriate video course

NOTE: if you were in CS II last year, you *must* use Option 1, unless you get permission from me.
