Homework for the python tutorial, Chapter 1

45 points

Work through Chapter 1 of the Hands-on Python Tutorial.   Caution:  Do not judge your progress through the chapter just by the number of pages you have read or minutes of video!  The exercises and the more difficult parts of the chapter are clustered at the end!  

Here is the list of files you need to make sure are included when you turn in your Chapter 1 work. If you saved this work under some other name, please rename as I specify below.  The point distribution for the problems is also shown.  To receive full credit on a program, it needs to run correctly, as written.  Run and check carefully!


These are not required, but you may find this method of "playing computer" helpful in solving programming errors:


How to submit:

  1. You may submit by uploading to Sakai a single zip file that includes these files.  
  2. Alternatively, you may submit by providing a link to Github, OneDrive, GoogleDrive.  The link should be submitted as your assignment on Sakai, and link to a folder that contains all of the python files
  3. If you worked with a partner on this homework, both of you should submit a comment in the assignment box on Sakai that you worked together.  Only one of you has to submit the homework.
