Git & GitHub Homework

Local

• Create a folder in your week_01/day_1 directory

mkdir precourse_recap
cd precourse_recap

• Initialize a git repository in the folder

git init

• Create a new file called precourse_recap.py

touch precourse_recap.py

• In the file, write a simple Python program:

  • create variables of different types
  • call some methods/functions using these variables
  • use some operators (e.g. +, -)

  For example:

  # create variables of different types
  day_of_week = "Monday"
  current_week = 1
  current_day_of_week = 1
  
  # call the print function using the variables and some operators
  # we also use the str() function to convert integers to strings
  
  print("Today is " + day_of_week + ", Week " + str(current_week) 
        + " Day " + str(current_day_of_week) + " of CodeClan")
  
  # run your file in your terminal:
  # python3 precourse_recap.py
  #
  # and it should print out:
  # Today is Monday, Week 1 Day 1 of CodeClan

  Another example:

  current_week = 1
  current_day_of_week = 1
  total_course_weeks = 16
  total_course_days_per_week = 5
  
  def weeks_to_go():
    weeks_left = total_course_weeks - current_week
    days_left = total_course_days_per_week - current_day_of_week
    print(f"Only {weeks_left} weeks and {days_left} days to go!")
      
  
  def motivate_me():
    print("We got this!! You're doing great!!!")
  
  
  weeks_to_go()
  motivate_me()
  
  # Only 15 weeks and 4 days to go!
  # We got this!! You're doing great!!!
