== Goal #4: reading and running Python files == |
|||
We'll be practicing two skills with this goal. The first is reading and understanding Python programs. The second is running these programs from the terminal. |
|||
For each of the following Python programs (folks often call these "scripts"), please do the following: |
|||
<ol> |
|||
<li>Download the script and save it to your Desktop.</li> |
|||
<li>Open the script in your text editor.</li> |
|||
<li>Read through the script. Don't worry about understanding every last detail. Instead focus on: |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li>Overall, what does this script do?</li> |
|||
<li>What data structures are used? Where are the strings, integers, and floats?</li> |
|||
<li>What functions are used, and why?</li> |
|||
</ul> |
|||
</li> |
|||
<li>Once you have a good sense of what the script does, open a terminal, navigate to the directory where you saved the script, and run it. Does it do what you expected?</li> |
|||
<li>Think about 1 way that you could extend the script. How would you make that change in code?</li> |
|||
</ol> |
