  1. IST380 • Loops got you going in circles? • Nest them! infinitely nested structure… • 3/10 2day == 2d data • 3/17 spring break! • 3/24 no class from finitely nested loops • 3/31 we meet again… • nested loops == 2d data • Schedule

  2. User input meters = raw_input('How many m? ') cm = meters * 100 print'That is', cm, 'cm.' You know you've become a programmer when you ask yourself… What will Python think? I think I like these units better than light years per year!

  3. User input meters = raw_input('How many m? ') cm = meters * 100 print'That is', cm, 'cm.' What will Python think? I think I like these units better than light years per year!

  4. User input meters = raw_input('How many m? ') cm = meters * 100 print'That is', cm, 'cm.' raw_inputALWAYSreturns a string– no matter what has been typed! What will Python think? I think I like these units better than light years per year!

  5. Fix #1: convert to the right type meters_str = raw_input('How many m? ') meters = float( meters_str ) cm = meters * 100 print'That is', cm, 'cm.' 4200.0 '42' 42.0 name: meters_str type: string name: meters type: float name: cm type: float

  6. Fix #2: use input meters = input('How many m? ') cm = meters * 100 print'That is', cm, 'cm.' input interprets its input raw_input always returns a string I always use input -- but don't "quote" me on that.

(0) Input a new list (1) Print the current list (2) Find the average price (3) Find the standard deviation (4) Find the min and its day (5) Find the max and its day (6) Your TTS investment plan (9) Quit Enter your choice: The menu to implement:

  9. A larger application def menu(): """ prints our menu of options """ print"(1) Input a new list of numbers" print"(2) I will divine the next element" print"(9) Quit" def main(): """ handles user input for our menu """ whileTrue: menu() uc = input('Which option?

  12. Functions you'll write All use loops… def average( L ) Menu def stdev( L ) (0) Input a new list (1) Print the current list (2) Find the average price (3) Find the standard deviation (4) Find the min and its day (5) Find the max and its day (6) Your TTS investment plan (9) Quit Enter your choice:  (L[i] - Lav)2 i len(L) def minday( L ) def maxday( L ) webbrowser.open_new_tab(url)

  13. Min price Just call min ? What's the idea for finding the smallest (minimum) price? day 0 day 1 day 2 day 5 day 6 day 7 day 3 day 4 L = [ 40, 80, 10, 30, 27, 52, 5, 15 ] m = m is the "min so far" track the value of the minimum so far as you loop over L

  14. Min price vs. min day day 0 day 1 day 2 day 5 day 6 day 7 day 3 day 4 L = [ 40, 80, 10, 30, 27, 52, 5, 15 ] m = 40 m = 10 m = 5 5 is returned defminprice( L ): m = L[0] for x in L: ifx < m: m = x returnm What about the day of the minimum price?

  15. L return the index of L's minimum. minday >>> minday( [9, 8, 5, 7, 42] ) 2 index 0 1 2 3 4 defminday( L ): m = L[0] mndy= 0 for : if < m: m = return mndy How do we loop through the INDEX of each element? How do we ensure m keeps track of the minimum? How and where should we update mndy? index-based loop

  16. L return the index of L's minimum. minday >>> minday( [9, 8, 5, 7, 42] ) 2 index 0 1 2 3 4 defminday( L ): m = L[0] mndy= 0 day = 0 for x in L: if x < m: m = x mndy = day day += 1 return mndy Create a "counter" that will keep track of the current day. IF we find a smaller min, save which day it was in mndy Regardless, we add 1 to day so that we're keeping track! element-based loop

  24. The TTS advantage! L = [ 40, 80, 10, 30, 27, 52, 5, 15 ] Your stock's prices: What is the best TTS investment strategy here? Day Price 0 40.0 1 80.0 2 10.0 3 30.0 4 27.0 5 52.0 6 5.0 7 15.0 To be realistic, however (for our VC backers and the SEC), you may only sell afteryou buy.

  25. In CS, rules rule! Reference Pointer id L = [5,42,'hi'] s = 'hi' 'hi' 'hi' 42 5 L s L[0] L[1] L[2] (1a) Numbers and strings are handled "by value" (1b) Lists are handled "by reference"

  26. In CS, rules rule! Reference Pointer id L = [5,42,'hi'] s = 'hi' 'hi' 'hi' 42 5 L s L[0] L[1] L[2] (1a) Numbers and strings are handled "by value" (1b) Lists are handled "by reference" The contents of the variable's "box" in memory are copied. (2) Inputs pass to functions "by value" 7 copy of fav 7 fav f( fav ) fav

  27. Reference vs. Value Python's two methods for handling data L = [5,42,'hi'] s = 'hi' Reference Pointer id Whee! 'hi' 'hi' s 42 5 L L[0] L[1] L[2] Lists are handled by reference (the variables really hold a memory address) Primitive data and strings are handled by value: imagine they hold the data

  28. Python functions: pass by value defconform(fav) fav = 42 return fav fav defmain() print " Welcome! " fav = 7 conform(fav) print " My favorite # is", fav 7 fav But what if the underlined part were absent… ?

  29. Python functions: pass by value 42 defconform(fav) fav = 42 return fav 7 fav copy of fav "pass by value" means the contents of fav are copied to fav defmain() print " Welcome! " fav = 7 conform(fav) print " My favorite # is", fav 7 fav But what if the underlined part were absent… ?

  30. Python functions: pass by value defconform(fav) fav[0] = 42 fav[1] = 42 return fav fav 7 11 defmain() print " Welcome! " fav = [7,11] conform(fav) print " My favorite #s: ", fav fav[0] fav[1] fav But what if the underlined part were absent… ?

  31. Python functions: pass by value defconform(fav) fav[0] = 42 fav[1] = 42 return fav fav 7 11 defmain() print " Welcome! " fav = [7,11] conform(fav) print " My favorite #s: ", fav fav[0] fav[1] fav But what if the underlined part were absent… ?

  32. Lists are Mutable You can change the contents of lists in functions that take those lists as input. - Lists are MUTABLE objects Those changes will be visible everywhere. One rule rules them all: pass-by-value Numbers, strings, etc. are IMMUTABLE – they can't be changed, only reassigned.

  33. Differing approaches to rules … Engineers Physicists different worldviews… Mathematicians CS?

  34. "the rules" Engineersbelieve equations approximate reality; Safety margins! Grand Canyon Skywalk

  35. Engineers believe equations approximate reality; Physicists believe reality approximates equations… Image forensics' verdict: Fake! Not a parabola, so not a real shot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WbaH52JI3So http://www.fourandsix.com/blog/2011/8/29/seriously-amazing-beer-pong-shots.html

  36. Engineers believe equations approximate reality; Physicists believe reality approximates equations… Mathematicians don't care either way! A solid sphere can be split into 5 parts and rigidly reassembled into two spheres the same size as the original Banach-Tarski paradox Banach-Tarski XKCD the parts are "mist"

  37. Engineers believe equations approximate reality; Physicists believe reality approximates equations… Mathematicians don't care either way! why settle for gears, when you could have fractalgears? In CS? Don't like reality?Build a new one!

  38. Engineers believe equations approximate reality; Physicists believe reality approximates equations… Mathematics reasons about structuralrules… … and CS reasons about proceduralones. for lists variables while Axioms arithmetic operations Definitions if/else proofs programs Insights, tools, truths Insights, tools, algorithms math worldview CS worldview

  39. 2D data! One rule rules them all: everything's a list!

  40. Lists ~ 2D data A = [ 42, 75, 70 ] 70 42 75 int int int list A One rule rules them all: everything's a list! 1D lists are familiar – but lists can hold ANY kind of data – including lists!

  42. Rectangular 2D data A = [ [1,2,3,4], [5,6,7,8], [9,0,1,2] ] 1 2 3 4 list list A[0] A A[0][0] 7 8 5 6 list A[1] 9 0 1 2 list A[2] A[2][3] To try… What is A[1][2]? What does each component of A[1][2] mean ? How many rows does A have, in general ? How many columns does A have, in general ?

  43. Try it… A = [ [1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9,10,11,12] ] Starting with the 2d array A shown here, what are the values in A after running this code?
