Python_Coursework

Summary of the breakdown:

Homeworks 1-3 were combined from my initial CS103 Python Dev course into one megafile. To supplement this, I have broken down each merged piece (homework) into simple explanations to 'make it make sense', so to say.

HW1 Summary

HW1 focuses on fundamental Python skills, including arithmetic operations, function creation, and basic control structures. The specific problems and their purposes are as follows:

1. Practice Problem (f(x)):

   • Purpose: Introduce function creation and basic arithmetic operations.
   • Task: Implement a linear polynomial function ( f(x) = 5x - 3 ).

2. Area of a Triangle (areaOfTriangle):

   • Purpose: Apply the formula for the area of a triangle.
   • Task: Write a function that calculates the area of a triangle given its height and base.

3. Phone Bill Calculation (phoneBill):

   • Purpose: Combine multiple arithmetic operations and logical conditions.
   • Task: Calculate the monthly phone bill based on usage details.

4. Grader Function (grader):

   • Purpose: Use conditional statements to evaluate multiple criteria.
   • Task: Determine if a student passes based on exam scores, homework scores, and attendance.

5. Radians to Degrees Conversion (radToDegree):

   • Purpose: Perform mathematical conversions.
   • Task: Convert a given radian value to degrees.

6. Euclidean Distance (sizeOfLine):

   • Purpose: Calculate the distance between two points in 3D space.
   • Task: Write a function to compute the Euclidean distance between two points given their coordinates.

HW2 Summary

HW2 builds on HW1 by introducing more complex data types and control structures. The specific problems are:

1. Odd Number Check (isOdd):

   • Purpose: Introduce boolean logic and type checking.
   • Task: Determine if a given number is odd.

2. Odd Element Counter (tupleCounter):

   • Purpose: Work with tuples and counting elements based on a condition.
   • Task: Count the number of odd integers in a tuple.

3. Cube of Odd Numbers (cubeOfOdd):

   • Purpose: Use loops and conditional logic.
   • Task: Print the cube of all non-negative odd integers less than a given number.

4. Paint Calculation (paintTheRoom):

   • Purpose: Apply mathematical calculations to a real-world problem.
   • Task: Calculate the amount of paint needed to cover the walls and ceiling of a room.

5. String Manipulation (stringMerge):

   • Purpose: Perform basic string operations.
   • Task: Return a new string made of the first two and last two characters of a given string.

HW3 Summary

HW3 further advances the complexity of tasks by incorporating a wider range of Python features, including loops, type handling, and string manipulation. The specific problems are:

1. Greatest Common Divisor (gcDivisor):

   • Purpose: Implement a mathematical algorithm using loops.
   • Task: Calculate the greatest common divisor of two positive integers.

2. Alphabetic Characters Extraction (lettersOnly):

   • Purpose: Perform string filtering.
   • Task: Return a string containing only the alphabetic characters of a given string.

3. List Filtering (listBuilder):

   • Purpose: Work with lists and filtering based on a condition.
   • Task: Return a list of strings from a given list that have a length of at least a specified value.

4. Type-Specific Output (typeMatters):

   • Purpose: Handle different data types and perform type-specific operations.
   • Task: Return different outputs based on the type of the input parameter.

5. Count 'T' Characters (tCount):

   • Purpose: Use loops to count specific characters in a string.
   • Task: Count how many times the letter 't' (case insensitive) occurs in a string.
