Python Reflection
Purpose: This reflective assignment is meant to encourage introspection and critical thinking. You required to analyze and evaluate your experiences, thoughts, and emotions regarding the past assignments in this course. the assignment
- To install Python, go to “PythonDownload” https://www.python.org/
- select the latest version, and follow the instructions.
I will not accept any code in Python interactive mode. To create a program in batch mode In IDLE do the following.
- Go to File ->New File-> A new editor for coding will open, write your code in the new window.
- Once you are done coding, hit F5 or go to run->Run module.
- If the file is not saved, it will prompt you to save the file. Make sure you know where you saved the file.
- If the code has bugs, go back to the editor, and fix the bugs, pay attention to the error message.
- The final code is the code you should submit.
- Review the hints in announcement
- Write the following code. Python Reflection
Reflect on the Experience: Begin by revisiting the assignments you completed in this course. Take some time to recall the details, emotions, and thoughts associated with each assignment. Consider the impact it had on you and any lessons learned and answer the following questions using any document format.
- What did you learn from the experience?
- How did the assignment relate to your personal or professional goals? How would you apply what you learned?
- Did the assignments challenge you?
- If you were being interviewed for a beginning Python programming position, how would you answer the following questions:
- What is Python, and what are its key features?
- What is the difference between a local variable and a global variable in Python?
- Demonstrating declaring three variables in Python using your name?
- Define at least three different data types available in Python?
- Write a conditional statement (if-else) in Python using something that relates to you?
- Provide an example of lists, tuples, and dictionaries in Python? How are they different from each other?
- Explain the concept of function in Python. Write a coding example defining and calling a function using your name as the function?
- How do you handle exceptions (errors) in Python?
- What is a loop in Python? Provide an example of the difference between a for loop and a while loop, using your name as a variable.
- What is the purpose of the “range()” function in Python?
- How do you read data from a file in Python?
- How do you comment your code in Python? Why is it important to write comments?
