1 Variable assignment and algebraic manipula-


tion
import math

"""
The Import math tag allows the use of code from the math library
"""

a = 5
b = 10
c = 4/3

"""
Here we have assigned each letter a designated value
"""

print((b + a)/ c)
"""
the Print function produces an output which states the value corresponding to the equation i
case is 11.25
"""

2 Single conditional statements


import random

"""
The import random tag allows the use of code from the random library
"""

age = random.randint (0, 100)

1
"""
This assigns the word age with a random number between 0 and 100
"""

if age >= 18:


print ("access allowed")

else:
print("access denied")

"""
If age is assigned a value greater or equal to 18 then the output will be 'access allowed' o
will be 'access denied'
"""

3 Repeated conditional statements


Amount = 1000
numOfYears = 0;
Target_amount = 2000
intrest_multiplier = 1.05

"""
The initial amount (number of years = 0) is assigned as 1000, the target amount is assinged
is assigned 1.05
"""

while Amount < Target_amount:


Amount = Amount * intrest_multiplier
numOfYears = numOfYears + 1
print('After', numOfYears, 'years, the Amount = £', Amount)

"""
The while loop will multiply the amount by the intrest multiplyer and add 1 to the numbe
amount is greater than the the target multiplyer. The output will print the amount after
surpasses the target which is roughly £ 2078 after 15 years
"""

4 Functions and lists


def square(n):
"""
The square function will return the nth square number
"""

2
return n ** 2
samples = []
for n in range(10):
samples.append(square(n))

print(samples)

"""
the list samples is a list of square numbers from 1-9 so the output will print the list samp
"""

5 Iteration
import math
squared_numbers = [0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81]
"""
the import math tag allows the use of code from that math library. squared_numbers has been
square numbers from 0-81
"""
for number in squared_numbers:
result = (math.sqrt(number))
print(result)
"""
for the iterations we use a for loop which will square root every number in the list square_
which will give us an output which we should expect to be the numbers from 1-9
"""

6 Recursion
def pascal(n):
"""
Returns the nth fibonacci number using recursion.
"""
if n == 1:
return [1]
else:
line = [1]
line_above = pascal(n-1)
for i in range(len(line_above)-1):
line.append(line_above[i] + line_above[i+1])
line += [1]
return line

print(pascal(8))

3
"""
this code will output a line from the pascals triangle for the nth line. the code will sum 2
row above until all of the adjacent numbers have been added and one is added to the end of t
return the nth line of the pascals triangle. The expected out put should be the 8th line fro
"""

7 Object oriented programming


class Car:

"""
below is the class atribute
"""
type = 'fast car'

"""
below are some attributes for the instance fast car
"""
def __init__(self, model, colour):
self.model = model
self.colour = colour

"""
Below i have created two create objects A and B
"""
A = Car("Ford", "silver")
B = Car("Audi", "white")

print("A is a {}".format(A.__class__.type))
print("B is also a {}".format(B.__class__.type))

print("{} is the colour {} ".format( A.model, A.colour))


print("{} is the colour {} ".format( B.model, B.colour))

"""
The output will state the class attributes(fast cars) and the instance atributes(model and c
