Python 3.4 - Lists


Lists can store data in different orders and can be used to draw upon data or be used for other purposes.

>>>list_name = [1,1,3,8]

The positions are 0,1,2,3

You can access items in a list:

>>>list_name[2]

3

You can replace players

>>>list_name[2] = 4

>>>List_name

 [1,1,4,8]

You can add new items (i.e. +[3,4,5]) to the list but it won't change the list permanently. You can add on things though by .append

. means do this - append

you can remove and add new items (slice) by writing the list name then this [:2]. This will take the first two items in the list and stop at 2. You can do many things to the items once you have sliced them like: adding new items in their place, remove them []

You can print out any item in a list by just specifying the location in the list. You can also create functions that can drop certain items and complete math functions on the rest.

In the process of selecting items in a list you can also modify them (i.e. capitalizing them).

Python 3.4 - Caesar Cipher

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

UML - Use Case Diagram

Image
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
