Problem Set 6 - Due Tue Mar 8 at 23:00

Reading

1. Slides and notebooks from Lec 8 (While Loops), Lec 9 (Sequences and Loops), Lec 10 (List Processing Patterns), and Lec 11 (Lists, Memory Diagrams & Mutable vs. Immutable Sequences).
2. Problems and solutions from Lab 5 (Loops) and Lab 6 (More Loops and Memory Diagrams).
3. 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. This is an individual task.

• Task 2: Audio Toolkit — Create a series of audio filter effects that you can apply to any .wav file. For this problem, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 3: Concentric Circles — Write turtle graphics code to draw concentric circles. You may complete EITHER this task or the musical scales task, but you don't have to complete both. For this problem, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Task 4: Musical Scales — Write code using the wavesynth music library create musical scales. You may complete EITHER this task or the concentric circles task, but you don't have to complete both. For this problem, having a partner is optional but recommended.

• Upload your tasks via the Potluck server by the deadline (Tue Mar 8 at 23:00).

  • For listDiagrams, submit listDiagrams.py.
  • For audioToolkit, each team member must submit audioToolkit.py.
  • For circles, each team member must submit circles.py.
  • For scales, each team member must submit scales.py.

• 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 Prof. Mawhorter, and include a copy of the file(s) you were trying to submit.

• After the deadline, check your score for each task and submit revisions if you need to.
