Math
Apples
Author: Madeleine Ball
print "Let's do math!" print "On Monday I picked 22 apples. On Tuesday I picked 12." print "Now I have: ", 22 + 12 print "My brother says he picked twice as many apples last week." print "This means he picked: ", (22 + 12) * 2 print "I have 3 friends I would like to give apples." print "One third of my apples is about: ", (22 + 12) / 3 print "Or, more exactly: ", (22.0 + 12.0) / 3.0
Pascal
Author: Madeleine Ball
# Pascal's triangle lines = 8 vector = [1] for i in range(1,lines+1): vector.insert(0,0) vector.append(0) for i in range(0,lines): newvector = vector[:] for j in range(0,len(vector)-1): if (newvector[j] == 0): print " ", else: print "%2d" % newvector[j], newvector[j] = vector[j-1] + vector[j+1] print vector = newvector[:]
Times1
Author: Chris Ball
for i in range(1,13): print i, "x 4 =", (i*4)
Times2
Author: Chris Ball
number = input("Which times table? ") for i in range(1,13): print i, "x", number, "=", i*number
Python
Function
Author: Chris Ball
def square(x): print x * x square(3) square(4)
If
Author: Chris Ball
number = input("Enter a number: ") if number > 5: print "Greater than 5" elif number < 5: print "Less than 5" else: print "Number is 5!"
Recursion
Author: Mel Chua
# Note this assumes you understand functions and if-else. def countbackwards(number): print "I have the number", number if number > 0: print "Calling countbackwards again!" countbackwards(number-1) else: print "I am done counting" number = input("Enter a number: ") countbackwards(number):
String
Hello1
Author: Chris Ball
print "Hello everyone!"
Hello2
Author: Chris Ball
name = raw_input("Type your name here: ") print "Hello " + name + "!"
