Project 7 - Due Fri Mar 14 at 23:00
Reading
- Slides and notebooks from the Lists and Memory Diagrams lecture and the Nested Loops lecture.
- Problems and solutions from Lab 7 (Lists and Memory Diagrams) and Lab 8 (Nested Loops).
- Think Python, Chapter 7 covers iteration, and Think Python, Chapter 10 covers lists.
Tasks
The instructions for each task:
-
Task 1: List Diagrams — Create list structures whose memory diagrams match those depicted in given diagrams. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
-
Task 2: Train Inventory — Use nested loops to write functions for dealing with inventory on a train. You must complete ONE of the trainInventory, wordSearch, OR quadrats tasks; only one will count for your grade. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
-
Task 3: Word Search — Use nested loops to solve word search puzzles. You must complete ONE of the trainInventory, wordSearch, OR quadrats tasks; only one will count for your grade. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
- Task 4: Quadrats — Use nested loops to process grids of species counts. You must complete ONE of the trainInventory, wordSearch, OR quadrats tasks; only one will count for your grade. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
About this Project
These tasks will give you practice with memory diagrams and nested loops.
You must complete the listDiagrams task, and then you may choose one
of the remaining 3 tasks: trainInventory, wordSearch, or quadrats.
trainInventory is probably the easiest of the three, while wordSearch
and especially quadrats will give you more practice with indexing 2D
grids. If you plan to head straight on to 230 after 111, it might be a
good idea to try two of the three pooled tasks.
If you want to find a partner to work with for this project, use this Google Sheet to do so.
Reminders
- Remember to download the starter code for each task from the Potluck server.
Time Estimate
Our per-task estimate for this project is 1.5-4 hours, plus up to an hour of reading.

- For listDiagrams, each team member must submit
-
Double-check the status of your submitted tasks, since there may be warnings.
-
Reminder: you can submit as many times as you like, and only the most recent submission will count for your grade.
-
If you run into trouble with the submissions server, contact Peter Mawhorter, and include a copy of the file(s) you were trying to submit.
- Check your score for each task and submit revisions if you need to.
