Practice Tasks

Copy and run the following program:

name='Bob'

print('Hello '+name)

Challenge task:

Complete the following program so it uses the variables to print out ‘the cat sat on the mat’. It should print out on

one line, with spaces.

E.g.

word1='the'

word2='cat'

word3='sat'

word4='on'

word5='the'

word6='mat'

[REMAINDER OF PROGRAM HERE]

 Copy and run the following program:

name=input('What is your name?')

print('Hello '+name)

Challenge task:

Write a program that asks the user their name and then asks what their favourite food is, using their

name in the question, and responds to their answer.

Challenge task:

Write a program that asks the user their first name and then asks them their surname and then prints

their whole name 3 times.

Eg:

What is your first name?

What is your surname?

Miss Dodd Miss Dodd Miss Dodd

Challenge task:

Write a program that uses the following variables to calculate the number of minutes in a week:

Variables:

DaysPerWeek

HoursPerDay

MinutesPerHour

Challenge task:

Type Casting

To cast data to an integer we use int()

To cast data to a string we use str()

Challenge task:

Write a program that asks the user their name, says ‘Hello’ to them, using their name and then asks how

old they are. The program should then calculate their age at their next birthday and respond “So your

next birthday you are (age)?’

Type Casting

To cast data to an integer we use int()

To cast data to a string we use str()

Challenge task:

Find the area of a rectangle

Write a program that finds the area of a rectangle:

Eg:

Please enter width: 9

Please enter height: 5

The area is: 45

 Challenge task:

Write a program that asks the user how long, on average, they spend on a computer per day.

IF the user spends less than 2 hours per day, the program needs to say, ‘That seems reasonable’

ELSE, the program needs to say, ‘Get a life’

Challenge task:

Sometimes there are more than two possible options. I could have jelly babies OR gummy bears OR fried eggs OR drumsticks.

Building on challenge 10, write a program that asks the user how long, on average, they spend on a

computer per day and:

IF it is less than 2 hours says ‘That seems reasonable’

ELSE IF it is less than 4 hours per day says ‘Do you have time for anything else?’

ELSE, the programs says, ‘You need to get some fresh air once in a while, and a life’

Hint: ELSE IF becomes ELIF in Python

Challenge task:

For this challenge you will need to use all of the things that you have learnt so far. You will need to import random.

Write a program where the computer thinks of a number between 1 and 100 (i.e. picks a number at

random). It should then ask the user to guess what number it is thinking of. It should then say whether

the number the computer is thinking of is higher or lower than the one guessed. If the user guess

correctly it should say well done and say how many guesses it took them, if not it asks them to guess again.

1. Develop a cricket score book for a 20/20 game that records and calculate the runs for each team for an innings. It should be able to determine the end of an over and end of an innings. Only team runs need to be recorded, not batters yet. 

• 6 ball pers over, unless

  • Wide = 1 run, plus one more additional ball

  • No Ball = 1 run, plus one more additional ball

• 10 wickets per innings

• maximum 20 overs per innings

2. Create a program to calculate compound interest. The user should be prompted to enter a principal, interest rate, years of investment and number of times per year the investment is compounding.

The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:

A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)

Where:

A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year

t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for

3. Create an Australian Government Tax Calculator to allow a user to calculate how much tax they need to pay per year. Use the current tax brackets below. The user should then be able to enter a weekly or fortnightly wage and calculate tax per year also

Resident tax rates 2017–18

0 – $18,200 - Nil

$18,201 – $37,000 - 19c for each $1 over $18,200

$37,001 – $87,000 - $3,572 plus 32.5c for each $1 over $37,000

$87,001 – $180,000 - $19,822 plus 37c for each $1 over $87,000

$180,001 and over - $54,232 plus 45c for each $1 over $180,000

4. Create a Binary to Decimal Converter. The user should be able to enter a binary number (length of 8 numbers) and  then the program should convert the binary into a decimal.

The binary system uses the base 2 number system to store binary numbers. See image below.

1. Create a list of types of pets and using a for loop, print them out in reverse order.

2. Create a list of numbers and use a for loop to add them all together (find the sum of all numbers)

3. Using an input prompt, add elements to a list inside a while loop i.e. add multiple inputs into a list

4.  Create a list of 10 items and use a loop to remove every second item in the list.

5. Create a program that allows the user to enter a word. The program should print out the word backwards. Store the word characters in a list.

6. Create a text file of names and write a program to gather data into a list and print out in the console

7. Using a list, attempt the binary converter.
