We learned how to use dictionaries and apply it to this activity, including functions and lists as well.

Battleship! – Lab #7
In this code academy activity, we learn how to recreate the board game “Battleship” on Python using functions, conditionals, lists. This activity was certainly challenging as there are room for error in indentations and listing the conditionals in the correct order, so it definitely took lots of trail and error before arriving at the right sequence.
Date and Time – Lab #6
Today, IÂ learned about strings, how indexes are counted and the string methods. I also learned how to apply what I learned in a Date and Time application, displaying the date and time using strings and string methods.
Fruitful Functions – Lab #5
Fermat’s Last Theorem
In number theory, Fermat’s Last Theorem states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two. The cases n = 1 andn = 2 were known to have infinitely many solutions.
First problem.
1. Write a function named check_fermat that takes four parameters—a, b, c and n and that checks to see if Fermat’s theorem holds. If n is greater than 2 and it turns out to be true that an+ bn = cn the program should print, “Fermat was wrong!” Otherwise the program should print, “No, that doesn’t work.”
2. Write a function that prompts the user to input values for a, b, c and n, converts them to integers, and uses check_fermat to check whether they violate Fermat’s theorem.
Second problem.
In addition to the first problem, your code should let user make input and therefore to produce result.
Conditionals and Pyglatin Lab – Lab #4
Today, we learned about comparators, Boolean operators and if, elif and else statements and learn to apply them in an English to Piglatin translator.
Turtle Graphics – Lab #3
In this Python lab activity, IÂ learned how to use the module turtle and create a graphical design using turtle. I also learned how to use loops and range while constructing the code.
Taking a Vacation – Lab #2
This lab defines functions and if/else and puts it into practical use. There were a few times where I forgot to put the colons after the functions, but other than that the process of creating this went smoothly.
Tip Calculator – Lab #1
The lab was definitely fun to do, especially since I’ve done basic C++ coding in high school. I can see that Python is more intuitive to use than C++. Coding the calculator was simple and easy to understand. Setting the variable seems understandable as well.
