Python Projects for Beginners a ten-Week Bootcamp Approach to Python Programming

THURSDAY EXERCISES

1. 
   Fix the Errors: Given the following code, fix any/all errors so that it outputs “Hello John” correctly:
   

>>> name = "John" >>> if name == "Jack":
>>> print("Hello Jack") >>> elif:
>>>> print("Hello John")

2. 
   User Input: Ask the user to input the time of day in military time without a colon (1100 = 11:00 AM). Write a conditional statement so that it outputs the following:
   
   1. 
      “Good Morning” if less than 1200
      
   2. 
      “Good Afternoon” if between 1200 and 1700
      
   3. 
      “Good Evening” if equal or above 1700
      

Today we learned all about else statements. You’re now able to build programs that can generate code given a condition.
Friday: Creating a Calculator
Last week we built a receipt printing program together. With the lessons learned from this week, we’re going to be building a simple calculator that accepts user input and outputs the proper result.
To follow along with this lesson, let’s continue from our previous notebook file “Week_03” and add a markdown cell at the bottom that says, “Friday Project: Creating a Calculator.”

Final Design

For each week we always want to lay out the final design. As this week is based around the logic rather than how it looks, we’ll lay out the steps necessary to build our calculator:

1. 
   Ask the user for the calculation they would like to perform.
   
2. 
   Ask the user for the numbers they would like to run the operation
   

on.

3. 
   Set up try/except clause for mathematical operation.
   
   1. 
      Convert numbers input to floats.
      
   2. 
      Perform operation and print result.
      
   3. 
      If an exception is hit, print error.
