 Problems  Rock-Paper-Scissors (fair game)  Functions Frenzy  Extra Problems  Pig Latin  Scoring Paper

 Objective: Play rock-paper-scissors fairly  Steps for the program: 1. Choose the computer choice randomly (without revealing this value to the user) 2. Ask the user for their choice (give warning for incorrect choice) 3. Figure out the winner & print out the result

 Using choice function from random package  Example code: from random import * s = choice(['thread','yarn','twine']) print('I chose', s)

 Execute a block of code repeatedly as long as a condition is satisfied.  Application: Keep asking as long as incorrect choice is given by the user  Example code: answer = 'no' while answer == 'no': [body of the program] answer = input('Want to stop? ')

 Problems: 1. Multiplication: mult(n,m) 2. Dot product: dot(L,K) 3. First index: ind(e,L) 4. Scoring Letter*: letterScore(let) 5. Scoring Word: scrabbleScore(S)  Recursive Functions:  Base case  Recursive part

 Return: product of 2 integers  Requirements:  Use recursion  Use only: addition, subtraction, negation  Hints:  Use the construction of function power as a guide  m * n = m added together n times  Handling negative numbers

 Return: dot product of any 2 lists  Return 0.0 when  Lists have unequal lengths  Empty lists  Hints:  Use the construction of function mysum as a guide  Dot product = sum of products of elements in the same position  Example: [5,3] o [6,4] = 5*6 + 3*4 = 42

 Return: first index of an element in a list  Requirements  Use Recursion  Counting starts at 0  Nonexistence = return any integer ≥ len(L)  Examples: >>> ind(42, [55,77,42,12,42,100])‏ 2 >>> ind('i', 'team')‏ 4

 Return: score of a letter based on  Requirements  No recursion needed  Return 0 for input that is not from 'a' to 'z'  Hints:  Use in keyword: >>> 'a' in 'this is a string with letter a' True

 Return: score of a string  Requirements  Use recursion  Hints:  Use the construction of function mylen as a guide  Use letterScore(let) as previously defined

 The warm-up: pigLatin(s)  The challenge: spamLatin(s)

 Input: single word, lower letter string s  Translate to Pig Latin based on these rules  If s is an empty string: ▪ return an empty string  If s begins with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) ▪ Append 'way' to the end of s ▪ Example: pigLatin('one') returns 'oneway'  If s begins with a consonant (the rest including y) ▪ Move this consonant to the end ▪ Then append 'ay' to the end ▪ Example: pigLatin('be') returns 'ebay'

 Input: single word, lower letter string s  Translate to Pig Latin based on these rules  If s is an empty string, or begins with a vowel, same with pigLatin(s)  If s begins with a consonant ▪ Move all initial consonants to the end ▪ Then append 'ay' to the end ▪ Example: pigLatin('string') returns 'ingstray'

 Rules (continue)  If s starts with 'y' which is followed by ▪ a vowel, then consider this 'y' to be a consonant ▪ a consonant, then consider this 'y' to be a vowel ▪ spamLatin('yttrium') returns 'yttriumway' ▪ spamLatin('yoohoo') returns 'oohooyay‘  Other cases: free to decide

 Input: a file name  Output:  Total Scrabble score  Total number of alphabetic characters  Average Scrabble-score-per-letter  Important: both upper- and lower-case letters

def printFileToScreen(fileName): f = open(fileName) text = f.read() f.close() print('The file contains:’) print() print(text)

 Recursive stack is limited at 1000 calls by default  Change this temporarily: import sys sys.setrecursionlimit(100000)‏

 Test on 2 additional files  Convert your files to plain text first  Include the results at the top of your program

 Name your files correctly  Include docstring for your functions  Test thoroughly Good luck
