1.In the Comments-to-teacher: a working URL for your project.
2.A written dscription of the project development experience, including how the work was divided (if duo), problems yet unsolved, problems overcome. Must be done seperately by both members of the (if) duo team.
Here's a demo of it.
Here's the Python program.
Here's the first HTML page (input_hidden_1)
The remaining tests/deadlines for this semester:
- Test on all of Python/HTML, Fri. June 7
- Deadline for project submission: Sun night, June 9
- Deadline for optional extra credit project: Fri night, June 14
You can apply here to become a senpai in the Dojo. Application deadline is Monday, 6/3 midnight.
1. solo or duo? If duo, who is your partner? Also if duo, both of you MUST submit project proposals (probably identical)
2. a quick description of the website you're planning
3. If you're processing information obtained from elsewhere on the net, where is it coming from? Have you obtained it and looked at it to make sure that you'll be able to write a Python program to access that data that you'll deliver to yor users?
4. Why will the user return (possibly repeatedly) to your site? What value will the site have for the user?
Create two files in your public_html directory: an HTML page called "letter-form.html" asking a set of 3 questions used to generate a letter, and a Python program called "letter-writer.py" that processes the data when the button is pressed and sends the typical web page below:
| letter-form.html looks like this: |

| The webpage response should look like this: |

- W3Schools docs
- Here is an example of a working page with multiple input objects, along with the Python code

Classwork: create a program called Eng2Fr.py that you can call from the terminal command line to translate an English word to a French word. These (below) are the 6 word translations that it should be able to do. You may not just have 6 IF/ELIF statements!!! Use lists!
- cat -> chat
- kitchen -> cuisine
- computer -> ordinateur
- cool -> cool
- boredom -> ennui
- end -> fin
For instance:
$ ./Eng2Fr kitchen
cuisine
$ ./Eng2Fr hello
Cannot translate hello
$ ls -l fred.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 pbrooks sudo 208 Apr 7 2016 fred.txt
$ ./flen.py fred.txt
208
For today, improve on flen.py by creating its successor: mywc.py. It will do much the same thing as the built-in Unix command: wc ("wc" once stood for "word count"). Try running the wc command on the command line by giving it a filename of an existent file. It will give you 3 numbers: the number of lines, the number of words and the number of characters in the file (as well as the filename). Try to duplicate the functionality of wc with your own mywc.py. Then you can call both of them to see if they produce (approximately) the same results:
$ wc fred.txt
5 42 208 fred.txt
$ wc voldy.txt
wc: harry.txt: No such file or directory
$ ./mywc.py fred.txt
6 42 204 fred.txt
$ ./mywc.py voldy.txt
mywc: voldy.txt: No such file or directory
In other words, the behavior of your mywc.py should mimic the behavior of wc. Also, notice that the numbers aren't the same. As long as they're close (within about 1% for the number of characters), that's all right. When I come back, ask me about this.
Submit this file (mywc.py) to the homework server, along with any comments about difficulties.
If you've finished, improve mywc.py by allowing it to take many filenames on the command-line, and reporting on all of them (wc can also do this). For instance:
$ ./mywc.py fred.txt voldy.txt harry.txt
6 42 204 fred.txt
mywc.py: voldy.txt: No such file or directory
27 210 1044 harry.txt
f: 4.81%
r: 4.60%
e: 3.96%
q: 0.12%
u: 0.11%
y: 0.09%
BTW, the formatting for displaying a floating point number A to 2 decimal places with the percent-sign after it is:
print("A: %.2f%%" % A)
Note the 2 "%" chars next to each other means print a single "%" in the output. The statement above can be confusing because the 4 different "%" signs in it mean 4 different things, and the meaning of each can only be understood in context.
We'll be reading and digesting CSV files. Here are a few to
download. Download them, look at each in a spreadsheet
program, and also in an ordinary text editor (not Google docs, or
MSWord).
- sample.csv
-
grades_small.csv
-
grades_large.csv
-
grades.csv
-
2012_SAT_Results_small.csv
- 2012_SAT_Results.csv
Here's the code for calculating the average of a CSV file's column.
Here's the code/explanation for processing the SAT results file.
Here's a simplified version of the SAT file with just the math scores.
The test is here.
My answers are here.
Here are my answers.
Here's a list of English words (lots of them): dictall.txt
Due Mon, 4/8 midnight
Here's the main homework.
Here's a few (optional) additional exercises, for fun.
Here are my answers.
Mr. K has created a bunch of Codingbat problems that you'll find
here: https://codingbat.com/home/konstans@stuy.edu/all
Here are some of Mr. K's problems you should do. If you finish
these, try others. Remember: I get stats on which problems
you've solved.
- Sum of Powers
- CountVowels
- MyUpper
-
MyCapitalize
- XYBalanced
- RemoveFromString
Exercises due Mon 4/1 midnight
There are two types of string formatting, old/single-character: and new.
Exercises are here. Additional exercises added on Thurs night, deadline extended to Monday night.
For the exercises, do not game the questions -- for instance, don't use int() or float() or str(), or any other Python built-in function that will make the exercises trivial.
Here are my answers.
1) When asked about your name (the 3rd of 3 questions in account creation), compose the following answer consisting of your year,class period and name -- if your name is John Smith and you're in period 6, then your answer should be 19,p6,smith,john. Please do this exactly(otherwise I cannot sort and make sense of the results).
2) When finished with creating an account, go the prefs tab (upper right on the screen), and enter pbrooks@micromind.com into the "Teacher share" input box, and press the "Share" button.
Votes due Sun 3/3 midnight.
- View ALL of the pages for the students in your class (not just the ones in yor competition).
- Post, in the homework slot, your vote for the 1st and 2nd best, by name of student.
- Do not vote for yourself -- will not be counted.
- No vote-buying, no threatening, NO COLLUSION!
- The Python cribsheet.
- An excellent website (single webpage) detailing the most common Python methods. Although this is for Python 2.x, almost everything one this page is the same for 3.x.
- You'll need to upload your homepage(s) to your public_html directory
- then test your URL that you will publish to the outside world. For instance, if your login id is "fred" and your homepage is "harry.html" then the URL will be https://lisa.stuy.edu/~fred/harry.html. Make sure you TEST YOUR LINK
- Into the homework server's assignment slot's Comments-to-Teacher, write your URL and say whether you want to enter the class competition or not. If you forget to specify this, I'll assume that you want to compete.

Hey folks! My name is Joan Chirinos, and I’m the president of the Stuy Competitive Computing Club. "What’s the Competitive Computing Club???" Good question! As underclassmen, y'all will spend a chunk of your time learning how to write Python.
We will also use this knowledge in a number of fun activities, including mini-competitions!
With your immense Python knowledge, you can even go to PClassic, a larger and more structured CS competition! If this sounds interesting to you, please fill out the form below. I will be emailing you shortly about our first meeting!
