Architects have big ideas – but big ideas can be expensive. How expensive? Depends on the size.
In this project, you’ll use methods to build a program that calculates the material cost for any architect’s floor plan. For example, the floor plan of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy:
…can be (approximately) broken into circles and rectangles:
This project will involve implementing a PostgreSQL database that’s suitable for storing data for a data sharing application. Imagine that your company has created a data platform that allows users to share datasets and the metadata (e.g. number of downloads, number of views, path to raw file).
A few select data publishers have been given access to your database and you’ve been tasked with setting up the permissions that allow these publishers to get relevant information about how users are interacting with the data they’ve uploaded.
In this project, you’ll use logic and conditional statements to write a classic text-based Choose Your Own Adventure Game. Depending on what choices your user makes, the program will have a different result. If you’re interested in game development, this is a great project to get your started! While we’re only working with text, the principles of user input and control flow are used to build even highly advanced games.
Self-driving cars are set to be the next revolution in the automotive industry. The idea is simple: create a vehicle that can see the world and react to it as a human driver would, but the implementation is fraught with obstacles. You are tasked with creating a program that will allow a car to react to obstacles in the road.
To accomplish this, you’ll use your knowledge of TypeScript object types to apply types to a variety of classes, properties, and methods. Start your engine and let’s hit the road!
The Cake Bar is expanding their online ordering service and want your help. To better plan pancake production, the Cake Bar needs to prompt online customers for a pickup time.
The Cake Bar has already written some code for these three new requirements:
#:00 format in the order ticket after submission.In this project, you’ll first manually test for each requirement, then write an automated test. You’ll run the test, find the erroneous code, and fix it.
You have three types of coins:
What is the minimum number of coins that equals 98 cents?
It’s a hard question to answer in your head, but it’s a fun problem to solve with programming. In this project you’ll use C# to build a Money Maker: a program in which a user enters an amount and gets the minimum number of coins that equal that value.
In this project you’ll build out a database schema that could be used to organize an inventory of mechanical parts. This schema will keep track of all the parts, their manufacturer, category, location in storeroom, available inventory, and other relevant information.
A database like this might be updated and queried by an inventory management application that accepts input from many users who might not be familiar with the database structure. As a result, we should make sure that there are sufficient data quality checks to ensure that only valid data can be entered into the database.
We’ll start with tables with just a few constraints and build upon them throughout the project. Press 'Start' to begin inspecting the data.
In C#, variables and string interpolation allow us to transform a piece of text by swapping out different pieces of information.
In this project, we’ll use C# to write a Mad Libs word game! Mad Libs are short stories with blanks for the player to fill in that represent different parts of speech. The end result is a really hilarious and strange story.
Here’s an example of the “Roses are Red” poem changed into a Mad Lib:
Mad Libs require: A short story with blank spaces (asking for different types of words). Words from the player to fill in those blanks.
The Park Service has just inherited two parks: Wolf Point Park and Raccoon Meadows. Each park has a volunteer program where volunteers help maintain the parks by cleaning campsites, planning educational events, and maintaining hiking trails.
The Park Service would like to combine their volunteers and introduce a volunteer appreciation program, where the top volunteers get a special edition park badge for their service. It’s your job to help complete a program that was partially written by a colleague to help the Park Service determine this season’s top volunteers.
You’ll need to take your colleague’s code, combine data from both park’s volunteer logs, then calculate which volunteers have the most hours. Get your bug spray and hiking boots and let’s type out this program!
