Week 4 Programming Assignment : The Joy of Computing using Python 2023

 

What is The Joy of Computing using Python?

Python is a popular programming language that is easy to learn and widely used for various applications such as web development, data science, and artificial intelligence. Learning Python can be a joyous experience as it allows you to create your own programs, automate tasks, and solve real-world problems.

Here are some tips to help you experience the joy of computing using Python:

• Start with the basics: Before diving into advanced topics, it is essential to learn the basics of Python such as syntax, data types, and control structures. This will help you build a strong foundation and make it easier to learn more advanced topics.
• Practice coding: The more you practice coding, the better you will get at it. You can start by writing simple programs and gradually move on to more complex ones. There are also many online resources such as coding challenges and competitions that can help you improve your coding skills.
• Learn from others: There is a vast community of Python developers who are always willing to help and share their knowledge. You can join online forums, attend meetups, and participate in online communities to learn from other developers.
• Use Python libraries: Python has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks that can help you solve complex problems quickly. Some popular libraries include NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib for data science, Django and Flask for web development, and Pygame for game development.
• Have fun: Learning Python should be an enjoyable experience, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with it. You can build your own projects, such as a simple game, web app, or automation script, to make your learning experience more engaging and enjoyable.

Week 4: Programming Assignment 1

Due on 2023-02-23, 23:59 IST

\Write a program that takes a number `n` as input and prints the sum of the squares of the first `n` positive integers.

Example:

If n = 4, the program should output 30 (1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 = 30)

Solution :

def sum_of_squares(n): sum = 0 for i in range(1, n+1): sum += i**2 return sum n = int(input()) print(sum_of_squares(n))

Week 4: Programming Assignment 2

Due on 2023-02-23, 23:59 IST

Write a program that takes a number `n` as input and prints the nth power of 2.

Example:
If n = 4, the program should output 16 (2^4 = 16)

Solution :

def power_of_two(n): return 2**n n = int(input()) print(power_of_two(n))

Week 4: Programming Assignment 3

Due on 2023-02-23, 23:59 IST

Write a program that takes a number `n` as input and prints a pyramid of numbers with `n` rows.

Example:

If n = 5, the program should output the following

1

    1

2

   232

3

  34543

4

 4567654

5

567898765

Solution :

def pyramid(n): for i in range(1, n+1): spaces = " " * (n - i) numbers = "" for j in range(i, 2 * i): numbers += str(j % 10) for k in range(2 * i - 2, i - 1, -1): numbers += str(k % 10) print(spaces + numbers) n = int(input()) pyramid(n)

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of the average of the best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF THE AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND THE EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.
