Due: Tuesday, February 14, 8pm
As we've discussed, for each homework please create a new,
clearly named subfolder in your Google Drive folder (for
example, Unit 1, Tutorial 2
) and put any files for the assignment in there. Please
create a new Python file
(.py) for each homework
part and name the files accordingly. For
example unit1_hw3_part1.py,
or if your folder is accurately named, simply name the
file part1.py.
Ambiguously labeled homework folders or files may not
receive credit if we cannot identify which assignment they
are meant to fulfill. Thank you.
Work with user input as data for an algorithm. Create a new
code file and add Python code from the last two weeks that
finds the longest word in a list of words. (You could also use
code that sorts a list of words, which is explained in the
class notes, but we did not have time to talk about it in
calss.) At the top of the file, add import sys,
and then use sys.argv as the data list to run
your algorithm on. (See the
"Variability"
notes for help.) Then, run your program from the command line
specifying 5 (or more) words. Run the program at least two
times to see the different output. Include a screenshot of the
output in your homework folder this week, clearly labeled as
"Exercise 1 output".
Working with Examples 1-5, create your own image by building up patterns of pixels using the modulo operator and other techniques from those examples.
Working with Examples 6-8, create your own image by collaging together at least 4 different images specified on the command line. Try to bring in some techniques from Examples 1-5 here, so that for example, you create transparent pixels in your images using some of the pattern techniques from the earlier examples.
I still have not gotten a Gist from everyone. If you have not yet done so, please create a Gist and tag me in it. See the page about asking for help on the class website with instructions.
