22FA_CAC180A-Programming

The project is a collage or portfolio of ten images that have been manipulated in some way by code. Examples of what we discussed in class regarding manipulation are as follows:

• Grayscale
• Negative
• Simulate a sunset
• Green screen
• Mirror top half of an image
• Mirror top half of an image but flip the mirror upside down
• Sepia tones

A theme would be great to have across the images, but it is not required. The goal is to demonstrate that you have learned and understand how to do basic image manipulation programmatically while having a little fun. The specific requirements are as follows:

1. The final product must consist of ten new images.
2. Four of the techniques explained in class plus two techniques not explained in class must be used. For example, grayscale, negative, mirroring, and sepia can be used, but two new techniques not on the above list must also be used. Perhaps, an image has all but one section as grayscale, or maybe the image is mirrored left to right instead of top to bottom. Maybe only a quarter of the image is mirrored, or maybe a corner of an image is erased (left as a solid color like blue, black, or gold). I want to see creativity!
3. Documentation must be included (described below) submitted in pdf format.

Documentation
The documentation will consist of the following sections: introduction, original images, new images, techniques, and conclusion.

• Introduction: Roughly half a page, double-spaced, about the theme of the project. What is the theme? Why did you choose it?
• Original images: Put all of the images on one page or organize them as you wish.
• New images: Put all of the images on one page or organize them as you wish.
• Techniques: What techniques did you use for each image? Explain the code works for that technique. This should be 3-5 sentences per technique (6 paragraphs).
• Conclusion: What did you learn this semester that enabled you to do this project (please don’t just say Python)? Do you have any reflection on the project/course? 3-4 sentences.
• Appendix: Include your code here.

Please write the code for a Hangman game. The program should randomly choose a word from the attached dictionary file. The program should then display the appropriate number of dashes for the user to guess. As the user guesses, please display the letters guessed as well as the number of correct and incorrect guesses. This can be done however you like. You can draw the traditional hangman image, or you can list the number of guesses remaining.

1. Your program should choose a random word from the attached dictionary file.
2. Display the appropriate number of dashes.
3. Fill in blanks as user guesses.
4. Display the letters guessed.
5. Display the number of guesses remaining.
6. Your program should allow the user to play as many times as he/she likes.

You may NOT use code from the web to accomplish this task. If you need help, please ask me.

Documentation
The documentation will consist of the following sections: introduction, techniques, and conclusion.

• Introduction: (3-4 sentences) Why did you choose this project? Is your hangman traditional or unique? If it’s unique, how is it unique?
• Techniques: (3-4 sentences) What techniques did you use within your code? Are there any sections that caused you difficulty? Are there any sections you are particularly proud of?
• Conclusion: (3-4 sentences) What did you learn this semester that enabled you to do this project (please don’t just say Python)? Do you have any reflection on the project/course?
• Appendix: Include your code here.

Please complete 50% of the activities in Chapter Two of the Zybooks textbook. No need to submit anything here. The goal of this assignment is to serve as a reminder to you. 

I plan to complete this worksheet in class. If you are absent, please submit your responses.

Please copy and paste your solutions to three of the five following programs into Moodle. Bonus points for doing all five!

1. Write a program that asks the user to enter the width and length of a room. Once the values have been read, your program should compute and display the area of the room. The length and the width will be entered as floating point numbers. Include units in your prompt and output message; either feet or meters, depending on which unit you are more comfortable working with.

2. Ask the user for the fuel efficiency of their car (miles per gallon). Ask them how many gallons they have left (you can do this as a fraction or an actual amount of gallons). Display the maximum miles they can drive before running out of gas. 

3. Write a program that begins by reading a temperature from the user in degrees Celsius. Then your program should display the equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Kelvin. The calculations needed to convert between different units of temperature can be found on the internet. Write a program that begins by reading a temperature from the user in degrees Celsius. Then your program should display the equivalent temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Kelvin. The calculations needed to convert between different units of temperature can be found on the internet.

4. The program that you create for this exercise will begin by reading the cost of a meal ordered at a restaurant from the user. Then your program will compute the tax and tip for the meal. Use your local tax rate (9%) when computing the amount of tax owing. Compute the tip as 18 percent of the meal amount (without the tax). The output from your program should include the tax amount, the tip amount, and the grand total for the meal including both the tax and the tip. Format the output so that all of the values are displayed using two decimal places.

5. Consider the software that runs on a self-checkout machine. One task that it must be able to perform is to determine how much change to provide when the shopper pays for a purchase with cash. Write a program that begins by reading a number of cents from the user as an integer. Then your program should compute and display the denominations of the coins that should be used to give that amount of change to the shopper. The change should be given using as few coins as possible. Assume that the machine is loaded with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollars.

This is the first of five larger assignments. This first assignment focuses on dictionaries, lists, expressions, input/output, and the math module. Please note that we have not talked about everything you need to complete this assignment yet. I'm posting it early so you can start reading through it and trying to figure out how to solve the problem - we'll work on the code in the next couple of weeks.

Please post questions to the Stack Overflow forum in Moodle, email me, or reach out to the tutors: Serena Ivery, Ross Richesin, David Ventura Cruz, or Gia Subedi. 

Please read through Chapter 3 and complete 50% of the activities.

Please complete the attached two programs. I left the file in Word format so you can copy/paste the morse code portion if needed.

No need to submit anything. This is just a reminder to complete 50% of the activities in the chapter. 

Write a program that reads a date from the user and computes its immediate successor. For example, if the user enters values that represent 2013-11-18 then your program should display a message indicating that the day immediately after 2013-11-18 is 2013-11-19. If the user enters values that represent 2013-11-30 then the program should indicate that the next day is 2013-12-01. If the user enters values that represent 2013-12-31 then the program should indicate that the next day is 2014-01-01. The date will be entered in numeric form with three separate input statements; one for the year, one for the month, and one for the day. Ensure that your program works correctly for leap years. Hint: take advantage of the leap year code you already wrote!

Please copy/paste your code into Moodle or attach your code. 

No need to submit anything. This is just a reminder to complete 50% of the activities in the chapter. 

We will do this in class on Wednesday. If you are not present, please submit a copy you complete with a partner or individually.

This project requires the use of loops, decisions, and dictionaries. I hope you have fun with it! If you have questions, please remember to ask them on the stack overflow!

Please submit your code to the attached problems. You can copy/paste them directly into the submission. 

Please complete the attached worksheet if you were not in class on 9/26.

Please complete 50% of the activities in the chapter. 

Please complete the following two problems. The first problem will help you with the second problem. 

1. Words like first, second and third are referred to as ordinal numbers. In this exercise, you will write a function that takes an integer as its only parameter and returns a string containing the appropriate English ordinal number as its only result. Your function must handle the integers between 1 and 12 (inclusive). It should return an empty string if a value outside of this range is provided as a parameter. Include a main program that demonstrates your function by displaying each integer from 1 to 12 and its ordinal number. 

2. The Twelve Days of Christmas is a repetitive song that describes an increasingly long list of gifts sent to one’s true love on each of 12 days. A single gift is sent on the first day. A new gift is added to the collection on each additional day, and then the complete collection is sent. The first three verses of the song are shown below.

Please complete the following problems. 

1. The next day problem. You have already completed this problem. I would like you to edit your solution to use functions. Here is a reminder of the problem:

Write a program that reads a date from the user and computes its immediate successor. For example, if the user enters values that represent 2013-11-18 then your program should display a message indicating that the day immediately after 2013-11-18 is 2013-11-19. If the user enters values that represent 2013-11-30 then the program should indicate that the next day is 2013-12-01. If the user enters values that represent 2013-12-31 then the program should indicate that the next day is 2014-01-01. The date will be entered in numeric form with three separate input statements; one for the year, one for the month, and one for the day. Ensure that your program works correctly for leap years.

Think about this problem in terms of functions. For example, you could have a function that determined if a year is a leap year. You could put the logic for determining the next day in a function itself. Your solution should have a minimum of one function.

Please complete 50% of chapter 9's activities. No need to submit anything here.

One of the first known examples of encryption was used by Julius Caesar. Caesar needed to provide written instructions to his generals, but he didn’t want his enemies to learn his plans if the message slipped into their hands. As result, he developed what later became known as the Caesar Cipher. The idea behind this cipher is simple (and as a result, it provides no protection against modern code breaking techniques). For example, each letter in the original message is shifted by 3 places. As a result, A becomes D, B becomes E, C becomes F, D becomes G, etc. The last three letters in the alphabet are wrapped around to the beginning: X becomes A, Y becomes B and Z becomes C. Non-letter characters are not modified by the cipher. 

Write a function to decode a Caesar Cipher. Use it to decrypt the attached text file. Your program will read in the text file and pass the lines to the decrypt function. The trick is that you have to determine the shift. Hint: it’s not 3.

Please complete the following program: 

Write a program that maintains an address book for a user. The program should present a menu to the user to allow the user to do one of the following: 

1. Lookup a contact
2. Add a contact

For #1, the user should be able to enter some info of a contact, and your program will print the full information. For #2, ask the user to enter a name, number, and address of a contact. 

To maintain persistent storage, you want to store this information in a file. 

Think about how to write this before you start...should you read what exists in the file first? What data structure should you store the contact info in? How do you write it back out to a file? Should it be the same file that you read in from in the beginning?

Please complete 50% of chapter 10's activities. No need to submit anything here.

Please complete the three TODO's in the attached python code. This code was created during the lecture on plotting.

Attached is some code with a csv file I used - this came from a previous lecture. Please use this code, or your own, and complete the following: 

1. Add x-axis and y-axis labels

2. Rotate the x-axis tick marks to 45 degrees so they are more readable

3. Add a plot title

4. Add a note about the max magnitude line and include what the max magnitude is

Please submit your completed Towers of Hanoi worksheet here if you were not in class. 

Please write recursive solutions to the following problems (choose two): 

1. Palindrome: Write a recursive function that determines whether or not a string is a palindrome. The empty string is a palindrome, as is any string containing only one character. Any longer string is a palindrome if its first and last characters match, and if the string formed by removing the first and last characters is also a palindrome.

Copy and paste the attached python code into your favorite IDE. There are errors in the code (syntax and logic). Please submit the corrected code or a list of the errors/fixes. 

Using the code we wrote in class this week, make the additions listed below. I mistyped something in class on Wednesday. Please make sure you look at my SolarSystem class. The movePlanets method should have had a line that set r equal to the distance between the sun and the planet. That's the r that should be in the formula below it. Please make that change first. 

1. Modify the Planet class so that each planet can be a different size. Hint: you will need to look up the resizemode and shapesize methods in the turtle documentation.

2. The real value for Newton's gravitational constant is G = 6.673e-11. Using this value for G and a time step of 1800, look up the real values for the mass, distance, and velocity of the sun and planets, and create a real model of the solar system.  

3. BONUS: Add a moon to the earth or any of the other planets.
