part 4, patterns, algorithms and programs 1

Question 1

1. Start with an if statement
2. Use elif statements there after
3. Use an else statement as the last statement. This acts as a catch all and does not evaluate any boolean expressions

Answer 1

describe the 3 steps of using pythons elif statement

Answer 6

the first thing to think about here is what inputs are admissible

example

are only positive integers allowed

is there a minimum or maximum input value

Question 7

what is floor division

Answer 7

this divides a given number by another given number and then rounds the quotient down to the nearest integer and returns this value

Answer 8

what are the 6 steps of the case analysis (two cases) pattern

Question 9

what are the 6 steps of the sequence generation pattern

Answer 9

Question 10

this operation finds out how many times the second number goes into the first and then returns the remainder

Answer 10

what does pythons modulus operator do

Question 11

when can we apply the formula problem pattern

Answer 11

this can be applied to an algorithm when one or more inputs can directly calculate one output

Question 14

when testing code what is the second thing you should think about

Answer 14

at this stage you should think about any borderline values and what they will be

example

was there a minimum or maximum input value

can input be positive and negative

Question 16

this divides a given number by another given number and then rounds the quotient down to the nearest integer and returns this value

Answer 16

what is floor division

Question 17

when using this. on the last else statement you should include what it will catch but comment it out

Answer 17

when using pythons elif statement what is good practice for the last else statement

Question 18

this can be applied to an algorithm when there is a value that changes with every iteration and the last iteration is unknown

Question 29

when can the case analysis (nested cases) pattern be implemented into an algorithm

this can be implemented inside an algorithm when you have an input that is mutually exclusive to all other cases

Question 30

when expresssed as a problem and sub problems what are the 4 steps of the sequence generation pattern

Answer 30

Question 35

what is the syntax for pythons modulus operator

Answer 35

to perform this operation in python use

%

example

10 % 4 = 2

10 - 8 = 2

Question 39

when multiple boolean operators are being used within one expression what is the best practice for writing the expression

Answer 39

the best practise here is to include brackets inside the expression. this makes it clear when reading to see the order of evaluation
