Hi, everyone!

This is my code for COMP-140 (Introduction to Python Programming) at Rice University. Each module is divided into homework assignments and a final project. Many of the files require running on the Rice University IDE: py3.codeskulptor.org

The breakdown of concepts in each module and descriptions of each project is as follows:

Module 1

• Concepts: Variables, Expressions, Functions
• Project: Given three points, calculate the center and radius of a circle that passes through all three points

Module 2

• Concepts: Strings, Conditionals, Lists, Tuples, Iterations
• Project: Spot it! Interactive game where you try and find the common image between two groups of images

Module 3

• Concepts: Dictionaries, Markov Chains, Random Library
• Project: Stock Predictor using Markov Chains

Module 4

• Concepts: OOP, Classes, Sets, Queues, BFS, Objects & References
• Project: Kevin Bacon Game (Using BFS to connect various actors based on movies they both acted in)

Module 5

• Concepts: QR codes, binary, copying/immutability, Z256 numbers.
• Project: QR Code generator and TicTacToe game

Module 6

• Concepts: Optimization Problems, I/O, Linear Algebra, Gradient Descent
• Project: Baseball game predictor model using LASSO regression

Module 7

• Concepts: Recursion, DFS, A* Search, Inheritance
• Project: Map Search. Given a start and end point on a map in Dallas, use DFS, BFS, and A* search algorithms to find the shortest path.
