If you've finished all of our exercises and want some more, check out these exercises, they have 3 levels of complexety. You should be able to complete nearly all level 1 and various level 2 exercises by now (depending on your coding background).
Create some Python code that will prompt you to enter your name and age. Print out Hello and then the name followed by how old they'll be next year.
input:
Jorge
21
output:
Hello Jorge!
Next year you'll be 22.
Write some code that checks whether or not a given number is odd or even and prints "Odd" or "Even" accordingly.
input:
3
output:
Odd
Assume that everyone has 1 first name and at least 1 last name. Write a python program that given someones name prints it according to the following rules:
Note: you may find the .split method useful.
- The first name stays as is.
- Middle names are abbreviated to only the first letter and a dot.
- The last name stays as is.
input:
Maria Manuel Saavedra
output:
Maria M. Saavedra
input:
José Augusto dos Santos Oliveira
output:
José A. S. Oliveira
Write a function that takes camel cased strings (i.e. ThisIsCamelCased), and converts them to snake case (i.e. this_is_camel_cased).
Modify the function by adding an argument, separator, so it will also convert to kebab case (i.e. this-is-camel-case) as well.
input:
ThisIsCamelCased
output:
this_is_camel_cased
Implement some Python code that converts a given number in base 10 to base 8 (octal) using at least 1 'while loop'.
You can use this method to confirm your results: oct(number)
input:
9
output:
10
Write Python code that will print the anagrams (words made from the same letters) of a given word from a given sentence. Be mindful of possible upper-case characters given to you (you should compare all characters as if they were the same case).
Note: you can assume that all given words are separated by a single space character and that words can only contain numbers and letters.
input:
lVe
lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit vestibulum orci veL pellentesque nunc sodales Elv quis felis ac gravida
output:
veL
Elv
a) Instantiate a python list object. Read an integer, n, that represents the number of tuples you're gonna read next (each tuple is comprised of 1 string without whitespaces and 1 float). Each tuple you read, will have to be appended to the list you instantiated.
Print the last element of your list object (note: you may try out the index -1 in your list to get the last element).
input:
3
Joao 21.3
Cucs 912.4
Tiago 22.6
output:
Tiago 22.6
b) Now try using the built-in "sorted" function to sort your list in descending order, considering only the floats, before printing the last element of the list. For this, you'll need to define a comparison function that takes a tuples as an argument and returns a value to be used for the sort (in this case, return the float value from the tuple).
