Warmup:
- Identify the invalid variable names:
- computer
- COMPUTER
- computer science
- computer_science
- 1computer
- cOmPuTeR867
Agenda:
- Review Introduction to Values, Types, and Variables
- Math operations in Python
- Slope calculator program
- Create 4 variables named x1, y1, x2, y2 and give them some values
- Calculate the slope using those variables and store it in a variable named m
- HINT: If you can't remember the formula for something, look it up
- Print out the slope
- Circle calculator program
- Create a variable named radius and give it a test value
- Create a variable named PI and give it the value of pi (you decide how many digits)
- Calculate and print out the circumference of the circle. Make sure your output looks like: "Circumference: ###"
- Calculate and print out the area of the circle. Make sure your output looks like: "Area: ###"
- Input and Output
- Media:PythonInputOutput.ppt
- Go back and change your programs so that they accept input
Monday - Tuesday (2/13/12 - 2/14/12)
Warmup:
- Define a function named stickPerson()
- Make it draw a stick person on the screen
Agenda:
- Introduction to Function Parameters
- Redo the House Function
- After demonstrating the House Function the first time, change the function by adding 2 parameters
- Add x and y parameters to the function header's parameter list
- Add goto(x,y) at the beginning of the function body so that the house is drawn at (x,y)
- Don't forget to use penup() and pendown()
- Test your new function by making a function call using parameters:
house(0,200)
house(-200,200)
house(0,-200)
- Introduction to Values, Types, and Variables
- Complete Values, Types, and Variables Identification assignment
