Python Basics Assignment

The purpose of these assignments is to review all the fundamental concepts you've learned thus far. Some tasks may pose a challenge for beginners, but don't worry—you can ask questions in the course group, and I'll respond to you as soon as possible.

Remember:

  • Start simple and gradually add complexity.
  • Focus on understanding the core concepts and don't be afraid to experiment.

Note for Intermediate and Advanced Participants: Please approach this project only through the concepts discussed in this section. Avoid adding any features that go beyond the scope of the topics covered in this section.

Good luck, and happy coding!

1- To-Do List Application

Objective:

The goal of this project is to develop a simple to-do list app in Python. This project will help you improve your understanding of Python fundamentals such as data types,data structure, control flow, functions, and error handling.

Requirements:

  1. Add Tasks: Users should be able to add tasks to their todo list.
  2. View Tasks: Users should be able to view all the tasks in their todo list.
  3. Mark Tasks as Done: Users should be able to mark tasks as done once they are completed.
  4. Delete Tasks: Users should be able to delete tasks from the todo list.
  5. (optional) Save and Load Tasks: Implement functionality to save the todo list to a file and load it back when the app is reopened. this step is optional.

Expectations:

  • Utilize basic data types such as lists and strings to store tasks.
  • Choose the right data structure to use.
  • Implement control flow with if statements and loops to handle user interactions.
  • Define functions to modularize the code and improve readability.
  • Use error handling with try-except blocks to manage unexpected inputs or file operations.
  • Ensure the app is user-friendly and intuitive to use.
  • Break down the project into smaller tasks and tackle them one at a time.
  • Test your app thoroughly to ensure it works as expected in different scenarios.

2- Movie Recommendation System

Objective:

Get ready to create your own movie recommender! In this project, you'll build a basic Python program that suggests movies based on a user's preferred genre. This project is a great way to practice essential Python skills like working with data, taking user input, and using control flow statements.

Requirements:

Your mission is to code a simple movie recommendation system. The program will:

  1. Store movie : save information (title, genre, year) in a data structure.
  2. View Tasks: Users should be able to view all the movies, groped and sorted in their gene.
  3. Interact with Users: Ask the user for their favorite genre.
  4. Search and Recommend movies: Search through the movie data and recommend movies that match the user's preferred genre.

Expectations:

  • Create a Python program that fulfills the objective.
  • Use clear variable names and comments to explain your code.
  • Test your program with different user inputs to ensure it works correctly.

Challenge (Optional):

  • Enhance your program by allowing users to choose multiple genres for broader recommendations.

3- Fill-in-the-Blank Text(String Manipulation Focus)

Objective:

This assignment challenges you to showcase your string manipulation skills in Python by building a Fill-in-the-Blank text generator. In this project users provide different words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.), and the program incorporates them into a predefined text template, creating a humorous or silly outcome.

  • Create a Python program that generates a text.
  • The program should:
    • Prompt the user for various words (e.g., noun, verb, adjective, adverb).
    • Store these words in variables.
    • Utilize string formatting techniques (f-strings) to insert the user's words into a pre-written story template.
    • Display the completed story for the user's entertainment.

Requirements:

  • String Manipulation techniques (slicing, concatenation, f-strings)
  • User input using input() function
  • Basic understanding of variables and data types

Expectations:

  • Create a well-structured and commented program.
  • Design a funny or engaging story template.
  • Ensure proper string manipulation to integrate user-provided words seamlessly.
  • Test your program with different word choices to verify it works correctly.

Challenge (Optional):

  • Enhance your program with additional features:
    • Allow users to choose from different story templates.
    • Categorize word prompts (e.g., noun types, specific adjectives).
    • Implement basic error handling for invalid user input (e.g., entering numbers instead of words).

Help:

  1. Text Template:

    • create a text template with placeholders for various words. for example: 
      Yesterday, I woke up feeling very [adjective].  
I decided to make myself a delicious breakfast of [noun] and [noun].  
While I was eating, a [noun] flew right by my window!  
I chased it outside as fast as my [body part] could go,  
but it disappeared into the [place].  
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful, but it was definitely an [adjective] morning!

  2. User Input:

    • Employ input() to prompt the user for different word categories (e.g., "Enter an adjective: ").
    • Store each user-provided word in a separate variable (use a data structure).

  3. String Manipulation:

    • Utilize string manipulation techniques like slicing and concatenation to incorporate user words into the story template.
    • Employ f-strings (formatted string literals) within the template to embed user words seamlessly.

  4. Output:

    • Use print() statements to display the completed text for the user to enjoy.
