Video Lecture
Introductory Problem
Create a list of 3 of your friends. Print the list using a for loop.
intro.py
done = False
friends = ["Sofia", "Alex", "Sam"]
while not done:
print("Menu")
print("I - Introduction")
print("Q - Quit")
choice = input("Choice: ")
if choice == "I":
print("Introductory Problem")
for f in friends:
print(f)
elif choice == "Q":
print("Quitting")
done = True
Examples
Example 1
You make a new friend named “Chaya” on the bus ride. Add this friend to the end of the list. Print the list using a for loop.
done = False
friends = ["Sofia", "Alex", "Sam"]
while not done:
print("Menu")
print("E1 - Example 1")
print("Q - Quit")
choice = input("Choice: ")
if choice == "E1":
print("Example 1")
friends.append("Chaya")
for pal in friends:
print(pal)
elif choice == "Q":
print("Quitting")
done = True
Example 2
One of your friends moves away. Ask the user for the friend's name. Delete this friend. Print the list using a for loop.
done = False
friends = ["Sofia", "Alex", "Sam"]
while not done:
print("Menu")
print("E2 - Example 2")
print("Q - Quit")
choice = input("Choice: ")
if choice == "E2":
print("Example 2")
friends.pop(0)
for pal in friends:
print(pal)
elif choice == "Q":
print("Quitting")
done = True
Example 3
You make new friends riding the bus. Ask the user for a new friend 3 times. Using a for loop, print the list of friends. Print the total number of friends.
done = False
friends = ["Sofia", "Alex", "Sam"]
while not done:
print("Menu")
print("E3 - Example 3")
print("Q - Quit")
choice = input("Choice: ")
if choice == "E3":
print("Example 3")
for x in range(3):
name = input("New Friend: ")
friends.append(name)
for f in friends:
print(f)
print("Number of Friends:",len(friends))
elif choice == "Q":
print("Quitting")
done = True
