In python you may have a program or some data that you would like to store. You may have a file or bunch of files that you may need to work with. You can read files and write new files with your programs. By saving or linking to files in the same directory or elsewhere you can do this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olq86NN6-Ko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh2ebFW8OYM

UML stands for unified modeling language. It is used to create a blueprint for a project. A use case diagram is a list of steps needed to reach a goal. Its defines what is required and how those requirements are met. You will narrow down what you have to have. Before you create a use case diagram you need to create a description of the use case diagram. For example the above would look something like this: Use case descriptions includes who the actors are, what the triggers are, and other elements. Beta versions of a project have Shall requirements, should requirements can be done but can be done later. A use case diagram uses stereotypes to represent an element of your system. https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/use-case-diagram https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkC7HKtiZC0

Oh Django, I understand you sort of. Basically the idea is a one-stop shop to make and develop a website. You are using Python, HTML, and CSS to create the things(apps) you want your website to have. Steps: Getting the necessary programs, software (PyCharm, Django, etc) Setting up your environment and setting up all of the apps. Creating your URLs and Templates. Creating your classes and what they will contain, type of info.

Caesar ciphers take a list of values and rotates through them to give them a different value. The program below takes from the alphabet and creates a cipher of the message. It returns many variations of the cipher then returns the actual message. import string import collections def caesar (rotate_string , number_to_rotate_by): upper = collections.deque(string.ascii_uppercase) lower = collections.deque(string.ascii_lowercase) upper.rotate(number_to_rotate_by) lower.rotate(number_to_rotate_by) upper = '' .join( list (upper)) lower = '' .join( list (lower)) return rotate_string.translate( str .maketrans(string.ascii_uppercase , upper)).translate( str .maketrans(string.ascii_lowercase , lower)) my_string = 'This is the message' my_string2 = caesar(my_string , 1 ) for i in range ( len (string.ascii_uppercase)): print (i , "|" , caesar(my_string2 , i)) /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled12/venv/bin/pyt...

Creating the apps for your website you need to have the site direct the user to certain pages. By adding what the website should do when a page is requested is stored in views. It gives a function response. def searchpage ( request ): return HttpResponse( "<h1>This is the searchpage!</h1>" ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAn1KpPlN2w

In Django it seems like each functionality of a site, each page that does something different, is handled as an app. It is to be treated separately but part of the whole.  The map and search function is an app. The submitting page is an app.The user-page is an app. The joining page is an app. The setting page is an app. The event page is an app. Once installed the app contains several pre-made python files for specific purposes: __init__.py is the initializer (leave it alone) admin.py is the place where you have your admin controls apps.py is where you have your settings for this specific app models.py is the database and how you will store the data (i.e. classes, dictionaries, tables) tests.py is for tests to see if things are working views.py is for functions for user requests and responses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcD0CDurxas&list=PL6gx4Cwl9DGBlmzzFcLgDhKTTfNLfX1IK

I am first installing Django and all the necessary things that go with it. So, it's a complex process to install Django, but go to Django.   Actually you don't reeeeally need to go there. I would recommend finding a decent video on the steps to install, here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdkH6iQJrO0 From there it's a matter of learning what you can do with it.

String formatting is super useful when working with lists, tuples, and dictionaries. It allows you to do many things like calling on information and or doing things like datetime, etc. See below: import datetime person = {'name': 'Matt', 'age': 38} list_person = ['Matt', 38] sentence = 'My name is {} and I am {} years old.'.format (person['name'], person['age']) print(sentence) sentence2 = 'My name is {0} and I am {1} years old.'.format (person['name'], person['age']) print(sentence2) tag = 'h1' text = 'This is a header' sentence3 = '<{0}>{1}<{0}>'.format(tag, text) print(sentence3) sentence4 = 'My name is {0[name]} and I am {1[age]} years old.'.format (person, person) print(sentence4) sentence5 = 'My name is {0[name]} and I am {0[age]} years old.'.format (person) print(sentence5) sentence6 = 'My name is {0[0]} and I am {...

 You can not only run messages through other functions but you can run other functions through functions. And you can run multiple, other functions through functions. def outer_func (msg): message = msg def inner_func (): print (message) return inner_func #this is important, notcie how the inner function isn't returning anything yet hi_func = outer_func( 'hi' ) # now the variable hi_func is loaded with the return value of the inner function # and has th message stored hi_func() # this now prints or runs the functions with the () included print ( '-------------------------------' ) def decor_func (orig_function): # so now this is going to runa function instead of a message. def wrapper_function (): # this will return the orig_function within the decor_func return orig_function() return wrapper_function def display (): # this is the function begin returned within the other functions print ( 'display function i...

Closures have access to the outer functions arguments and variables.  def outer_func (): message = 'hi' def inner_func (): print (message) return inner_func my_func = outer_func() # this creates a function my_func() # this runs the functon using the out_func my_func() # three times my_func() print ( '---------------------------------' ) def outer_func (msg): #this is a bit different because it takes a message now message = msg # an message is equal to the message variable set def inner_func (): print (message) return inner_func hi_func = outer_func( 'hi sucka' ) #these need an argument to work hello_func = outer_func( 'hello' ) hi_func() hello_func() print ( '---------------------------------' )  /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled10/venv/bin/python /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled10/math.py hi hi hi --------------------------------- hi sucka hello Process finishe...

 You can assign functions to variables. And you can have functions within functions. def square (x): # this function will return the value of x times itself return x * x f = square( 5 ) # this is the variable and the value of x is determined print (square) # just printing out the position of the function print (square( 3 )) # this is a stand-alone print statement calling on the function, not creating a variable print (f) # this prints the results of the function which will take 5 and multiply it by itself h = square # this makes the variable h the equivalent of the function square. print (h) # just printing out the position of the function print (h( 4 )) # now h is being treated as the function square print ( '--------------------------------------------' ) def my_map (func , arg_list): # this sets up the function to return a result, # which will be using the function on the array result = [] for i in arg_list: result.append(func(i)) ...

Arrays are much like lists but they are confined to one type of data.  The example linked needs parentheses around the print statements, but you can see below some of the differences between lists and arrays: import array a = array.array( "B" , range ( 16 )) # unsigned char b = array.array( "h" , range ( 16 )) # signed short print (a) print ( repr (a.tostring())) print (b) print ( repr (b.tostring())) /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled6/venv/bin/python /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled6/functions.py array('B', [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]) b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f' array('h', [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]) b'\x00\x00\x01\x00\x02\x00\x03\x00\x04\x00\x05\x00\x06\x00\x07\x00\x08\x00\t\x00\n\x00\x0b\x00\x0c\x00\r\x00\x0e\x00\x0f\x00' Process finished with exit code 0 http://effbot.org/librarybook/array.htm

The Bisect Module "provides support for maintaining a list in sorted order without having to sort the list after each insertion.

Creating classes and subclasses allows you to inherit both or override the other. By including the super.()__init__() attribute you can use both! class Contact: def __init__ ( self , first_name , last_name): self .first_name = first_name self .last_name = last_name self .full_name = first_name + "" + last_name def print_contact ( self ): print ( self .full_name) class EmailContact(Contact): def __init__ ( self , first_name , last_name , email): super (). __init__ (first_name , last_name) self .email = email self .full_name = email email_contact = EmailContact( 'test' , 'person' , "test@person.com" ) print (email_contact.print_contact()) /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled6/venv/bin/python /Users/mattfassnacht/PycharmProjects/untitled6/prac3.py test@person.com None Process finished with exit code 0
