Python (CSCI 1301, CSCI 1302, ITEC 2260, and ITEC 2270)

The following are code examples that I built for use in tutoring Introduction to Computer Programming and Application Development students. Each code example covers one or more specific topics.

Classes and Objects

• Ball (a simple classes example)
• Blackjack (let's put classes to use!)

Exception Handling

• Exception Handling (a simple exception handling example)
• Average Test Score (another exception handling example)

File Handling

• File Handling (a simple file handling example)
• File Handling Parsing (another file handling example)

For Loops

• For Loop with Input (a simple for loop example)
• For Loop with Asterisks (another for loop example)
• For Loop Population Growth Simulator (let's put for loops to use!)

Functions

• Call a Function (a simple functions example)
• Letter Grades (let's put functions to use! includes some if logic)
• Pass Lists to a Function (another functions example)

Dictionaries

• Simple dictionary
• Iterate through a dictionary
• Course Info (let's put dictionaries to use!)

If Else Logic

• If Else Logic Package Weight (a simple if else logic example)

Lists and Arrays

Note that Python doesn't technically have built-in support for arrays. Instead of arrays, Python uses Lists.

• Calculate the Average of Items in a List (a simple list example)
• Build a List with a Loop (another list example)
• Seating Chart (use a list like an array)

Match Case

• Match Case (a simple match case example)

While Loops

• Sentinel Loop (using a while loop as a sentinel loop)
