Here is an outline of the changes:

#from
aName = input("Hi! What is your name? ")
print "Hello ",aName, "! I hope you are enjoying your day!"

# to functional programming
def hello(aName): # it prompts the user for a name
                  # it prints a message with the name

def main():       # it calls the only one function

main()  # execute by calling it

Read this article: Fostering Tech Talents in School. All of it.

Constructor Functions and the type() function: Functions that have the same name as their data type and create objects or values of this data type are called constructor functions. How do you find the value’s data type?

def intro():
    message = ' Welcome to my world '
    switch = 'off'
    print(switch)


def closing():
    switch = 'neither'
    print(switch)

## Main
switch = 'on'
print(switch)
intro()
closing()
print(switch)

Classwork:
1. Change the definitions so each of them reassign the value of the global variable switch.
2. Remove the print statement in each of the definitions but print the value of the global variable switch after each definition call.
This is what it should look like:

# Main
switch = 'on'
print(switch)
intro()
...
print(switch)
closing()
...
print(switch)

Output:
on
off
neither
 
Homework:
The output should be: It is a wonderful day. Fix the problem without removing the definitions and without adding print staments to the definitions.

The output should be:

A little help with the spaces in the phrase:

phrase = "have a good day"
phrase = phrase.replace(' ','-') # replace space with dash
newphrase = ''

blanks = '_ ' * len(phrase) # underscore plus space

for i in range(len(phrase)):
    newphrase += phrase[i] +' ' # add a space to each letter to match
                                # the underscores plus space


for i in range(len(blanks)):
    if newphrase[i] == '-':
        blanks = blanks[:i] + '-' + blanks[i+1:] # replace the underscore
                                              # with the corresponding dash

print(newphrase)
print(blanks)

List Applications

# Creating a histogram from a list of values.

values = []   # a list of values

# input 10 values from user
print ("Enter 10 integers:")

for i in range( 10 ):
   newValue = int( input( "Enter integer %d: " % ( i + 1 ) ) )
   values += [ newValue ]

# create histogram

ClassworkHomework:
Exercise 1: NoDuplicates_YI.py
Use a list to solve the following problem: Read in 20 numbers. As each number is read, print it only if it is not a duplicate of a number already read.
Make it an interactive program:
1. A message should be displayed when the user enters a number that has already entered as input.
2. As a way to validate no repeats it prints back the number.

Sample Output:
Enter a number: 2
2
Enter a number: 4
4
Enter a number: 5
5
Enter a number: 2
2 is a duplicate
Enter a number: 10
10
…

Exercise 2: StudentPoll_YI.py
Write a python program StudentPoll_YI.py that uses a list to summarize data collected in a survey. Consider the following problem statement:

Sixteen students were asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 the quality of the food in the student cafeteria, with 1 being “awful” and 10 being “excellent”. Place the 16 responses in a list and determine the frequency of each rating.

Randomly assign 16 numbers between 1 and 10 to a list, survey, and use this list as an index of another list, ranking, to keep track of the count of the responses.
Create a histogram with the ranking data.

A little help…

ranking = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
survey = [1,5,3,4,1,1,1,2,1,2,1,3,4,5,1,7]

Do not  use "if's" statements. Instead use the following:

       ranking[ survey[ i ]  ] + = 1

Exercise 3: ScoreKeeper_YI.py
You are a score keeper for 20 ice hockey players. Implement the code to keep track of their scores using a list. Program accepts integers as input and it is called ScoreKeeper_YI.py. Simulate a game by entering a good number of scores.

Sample output:

>>> 
... the game is on!!!
what player scored a goal? 3
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 3
what player scored a goal? 3
what player scored a goal? 5
still game on?y/n y
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 4
what player scored a goal? 6
still game on?y/n y
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 7
what player scored a goal? 8
what player scored a goal? 1
still game on?y/n y
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 5
what player scored a goal? 3
what player scored a goal? 2
what player scored a goal? 5
still game on?y/n n

Creating a histogram from players:
Player      Goals  Histogram
      1          1  *
      2          1  *
      3          4  ****
      4          1  *
      5         10  **********
      6          1  *
      7          1  *
      8          1  *
      9          0  
     10          0  
     11          0  
     12          0  
     13          0  

Exercise 4: BingoNumKeeper_YI.py
You are in charge of keeping track of the numbers that are called out in a Bingo game. Using a list implement the code to keep track of the numbers. The numbers will be called until the board is completely filled up. You can think of this simulation as if the balls are replaced back for drawing again. In this program use the random feature to simulate turning the spherical basket with all the balls inside. It is similar to the game of Bingo but not quite. At the end of the program print the number of times a random number was called with a meaningful message. Name your program BingoNumKeeper_YI.py

Classwork:Tic-Tac-Toe.
Write an algorithm to play Tic-Tac-Toe. (Use pseudocode)
You are allowed to use the following functions from Al Sweigart’s program but your don’t have to:
isWinner(bo, le)
drawBoard(board)
isBoardFull(board)
getPlayerMove(board)
The rest must be implemented with your original and creative algorithm.

NOTE: this is a “what if” type of program. Think of all the moves ahead at each step. You can use as many “if’s” as you want!!
Keeping in mind the different locations in the board:

Visit edmodo.com and answer these questions that could help you put together your algorithm. Remember it is your algorithm!

1. Before you commit to a move, what two things should your program check for?
2. What is the best spot on the board to start or to take the next safe move in the game?
3. What is the next best spot?
4. What is left when all the good spots are gone?
5. How many moves does it take to win, tie or lose a game of Tic Tac Toe? Best case, worse case and in an average case.

Make sure your algorithm addresses all these questions otherwise it would not be a good tool to help you write a smart AI program.

Programming Design:
1. What do you think is the best way to hold information about the space selected? Would you have 9 variables or a list?
2. Would you use while, for loop or both?

Homework:
Write first draft for TTT.py using pseudocode

NOTE: TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING AND INVITING TO THE PLAYER, MAKE THE FIRST COMPUTER MOVE RANDOM. However, it should be intelligent once the game is on.

NOTE: IF YOU TURNED IN THE MAIL ORDER ASSIGNMENT AND DIDN’T GET A GRADE, LOOK FOR MY COMMENT ON THAT POST.

>>> del aList[3]
>>> aList
['one', 'two', 'three', 'five', 'six', 'seven'] # 'four' is missing

or 
>>> aList.remove('two')
>>> aList
['one', 'three', 'five', 'six', 'seven']  # 'two' is missing

Classwork:
Write a program, WordList.py with the following:
1. Create a list with 10 items and show how to delete a given item in the list.
2. Use the same list to delete the third item in the list.
3. Create a new list with two elements. Each element is also a list with nine elements.
4. Use two for loops to display the elements of this list.
Each element of this list should be displayed in a row of its own.

   biology chemistry physics horticulture english math physed spanish 
   period 1 period 2 period 3 period 4 period 5 period 6 period 7 period 8 
   

5. Use two for loops to display the elements in the list side by side:
