• • Any questions on Project 4?

    • You could write your own test function (or 3 test functions in dayNumber) working before writing def main():

# Output:

def testTDate(): # expected actual

print(25, tDate('MO')) # 25 25

print(24, tDate('TU')) # 24 24

print(tDate('WE')) # ... you may add your own expected values

print(tDate('WE'))

print(tDate('TH'))

print(tDate('FR'))

print(tDate('SA'))

print(tDate('SU'))

• • Optional: Run Rick's tests.

    • See this Calendar Tests Page to help explain what could be many lines of output if and when you run Rick's tests

    • Why does Rick provide these tests? It is a lot of help after all, and takes extra time

      • Mostly to convince you that it is good to know if our code works

      • Helps us understand the problem better

      • In my other classes, we have a server to automated feedback and grading

  • The determinate loop pattern and the Python for loop ppt

  • Quiz #3: Functions and Decisions
