Python 3.4 - Data Types

There are several types of data that can be stored, created, and used in Python.

The four main types of data are numbers, strings, lists, and tuples/ dictionaries.

Numbers (int, long, float, complex) - Numbers are data types and there are different types of numbers. Integers are Int and are simple numbers. Long are just long integers, Float are integers with a decimal and complex numbers are integers with an imaginary number.

Strings (a string of words or one word that is contained in double or single quotes. three quotes can print multiple lines.)

Lists (Another data type is list. Lists can be very useful and can be manipulated in many ways. A list is indicated with brackets [ ] filled with integers, floats, strings, etc.

Tuples (In Tuples you cannot change the values of the data types. The difference is you use a round bracket () instead of a square bracket []. Again you can fill the tuple with many different types of data.

Dictionaries (A dictionary uses the {} brackets. In a dictionary you are assigning a value to each data type. For example, if the was a string in your dictionary with the name {cat: brown, dog: white} this is what it would look like. You can edit a dictionary in many ways.

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
