Goals

  • Section 8: Iteration
    • 2.A Represent algorithmic processes without using a programming language.
    • 2.B Implement and apply an algorithm.
    • 4.B Determine the result of code segments
  • Section 10: Lists
    • 2.A Utilize such as append and remove methods to mutate lists
    • 2.B Implement and apply an algorithm using iteration
    • 4.B Determine the result of code segments

Planned Homework/Hacks

  • Section 8:
    • Implement an algorithmic process with iteration to manipulate data
      • Includes I/O
      • Write pseudocode
      •   # Manipulate data and filter out odd numbers

  data = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
  new_data = []

  for num in data:
      if num % 2 == 1:
          continue
      else:
          new_data.append(num)


  print(data)
  print(new_data)
    • Example:
      • Fibonnaci sequence using iteration by use of a while loop.
      •     x = 2
            
    # Uses a while loop to iterate through numbers of the fibonacci sequence and stops at the number that which is a factor of 12
    while (True):
        x = x + (x-1)
        print(x)

        if(x % 12 == 0): break
  • Section 10:
    • Compare lists & typical variables
      • Access values by index
      • Useful for iteration
    • Can be mutated & modified 
      •   class_list = ["rohin", "rohin2", "rohin3"]
            
  # removes name from list if false is returned when called
  for name in class_list:
      if not bool(input(name)): class_name.remove(name)
