365 DAYS OF CODE - DAY 6

THOUGHT PROCESS

Today we covered defining and calling functions, Reeborg’s World, indentation (i.e., tabs or 4 spaces), I might watch Silicon Valley, I prefer tabs over spaces because you just have to do it once.

We also covered the while loop (and compared it to the for loop), the infinite loop (print out your condition if you do not know why you are getting an infinite loop.),

Reeborg Hurdle 1 Loop Challenge:


My Code:

def turn_right():

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

   

def jump():

    turn_left()

    move()

    turn_right()

    move()

    turn_right()

    move()

    turn_left()

   

def move_and_jump():

    move()

    jump()

 

for reeborg in range(6):

    move_and_jump()

 

# I am actually getting 1% better each day now

 

Reeborg Hurdle 2:


My Code:

def turn_right():

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

   

def jump():

    turn_left()

    move()

    turn_right()

    move()

    turn_right()

    move()

    turn_left()

   

def move_and_jump():

    move()

    jump()

 

while True:

    move_and_jump()

    if at_goal() == True:

        break

I did not use negation, ouch.

 

Reeborg Hurdle 3:


My Code:

# What you need to know

# The functions move() and turn_left().

# The conditions front_is_clear() or wall_in_front(), at_goal(), and their negation.

# How to use a while loop and an if statement.

# Your program should also be valid for worlds Hurdles 1 and Hurdles 2.

 

def turn_right():

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

   

def jump():

    turn_left()

    move()

    turn_right()

    move()

    turn_right()

    move()

    turn_left()

   

def move_and_jump():

    move()

    jump()

 

while not at_goal():

    if front_is_clear():

        move()

    else:

        jump()

 

Reeborg Hurdle 4:


My Code:

def turn_right():

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

   

def jump():

    turn_left()

    while is_facing_north() and wall_on_right():

        move()

    if is_facing_north() and right_is_clear():

        turn_right()

        if front_is_clear():

            move()

            if front_is_clear() and right_is_clear():

                turn_right()

 

while not at_goal():

    if is_facing_north() and right_is_clear():

        turn_right()

    elif front_is_clear():

        move()

    else:

        jump()

it is nerve racking watching Reeborg move.

I could not complete the maze..

My Incomplete Code:

# Lost in a maze

# Reeborg was exploring a dark maze and the battery in its flashlight ran out.

 

# Write a program using an if/elif/else statement so Reeborg can find the exit.

# The secret is to have Reeborg follow along the right edge of the maze, turning right if it can, going straight ahead if it can’t turn right, or turning left as a last resort.

 

# What you need to know

# The functions move() and turn_left().

# Either the test front_is_clear() or wall_in_front(), right_is_clear() or wall_on_right(), and at_goal().

# How to use a while loop and if/elif/else statements.

# It might be useful to know how to use the negation of a test (not in Python).

 

def turn_right():

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

    turn_left()

   

while not at_goal():

    while front_is_clear():

        move()

    if wall_in_front():

        turn_right()

    else:

        turn_left()

# of course, it does not work but it is sad that I could not finish.

Done. Yayy

365 DAYS OF CODE - DAY 0

DAY 0 THOUGHT PROCESS Day Zero of the 365 days of code highlights my state of mind before the actual start of the program. Yes, it is a program. A program I set for myself to make sure I actually put in the work on a daily. I have tried coding before but have never been quite consistent with it. A friend advised me to try coding daily if I really wanted to be great at it someday. He also stated that it would take a long time and I should be prepared for it. During the same period, I noticed he was on a year's worth streak of chess which made me realize I could also do the same but with coding. I signed up for the 100 days of code course on Udemy and plan on starting my coding journey with Angela Yu and the thousands of students also taking the course. I also drafted my own copy of the pledge, copied and modified from the 100 Days of Python Pledge from the course materials. It is currently pasted on my wall as a constant reminder. Finally, I will also be recording my process here...

365 DAYS OF CODE - DAY 7

I am overwhelmed already. From yesterday, I guess. How I would program hangman: 1.1.       A list of guess words for the game 2.2.       Loop through them 3.3.       Ask the user for an input 4.4.       Get the len of the guess word for every stage 5.5.       Check if letter is in the guess word and what position 6.6.       Number of possible trials 7.7.       E.t.c. From here onward, I was simply struggling to continue. I think it was worth it though. Anyho, Yayy

365 DAYS OF CODE - DAY 1

DAY 1 THOUGHT PROCESS I had to download PyCharm and set it up although I already had vs code on my PC. It was a requirement. I happened to look through the course content yesterday and thought of downloading PyCharm before today but I’m glad I didn’t. I completed the first assignment successfully. We had to print out a 5-line recipe, and I just made use of the print function for each line. I know there’s a shorter way to do this (i.e., printing multiple lines at once) but I couldn’t really remember. I think it’s by using the quotation thrice (i.e., “““xxx”””) but it’s day 1. It’s fine. We’ll learn it in future courses. And then it was covered in the next lesson. Crazy!! It ended up not being what I expected :) Day 1 also covered debugging, string concatenation, the input function, comments (Ctrl + /), the len function and variables. Exercise 1 – print out a recipe Exercise 2 – debug some lines of code Exercise 3 - switch the contents of the 2 glasses with 3 lines of code....
