PythonNotes

Many of my notes from learning to use Python, in the likely case that I forget...

WeatherLookup:

Example of how to use a REST API from Python. Tests included.

VirtuallyPython:

A Bourne shell script that automagically creates virtual environments for Python and Python3.

Fibonacci:

A variety of methods for calculating our favourite integer sequence. Unit tests included.

Primal Python:

(Work in progress) A variety of methods for testing primality of numbers using number theory. Unit tests included.

Greatest Common Divisor:

Quite possibly the oldest algorithm known to modern man. Unit tests included.

Fuzzy Maker:

Generates a set of test values for GCD. Clean example of how to generate random test information using known good functions such as math.gcd()

ListShuffler:

A simple example of using the random module in python3 to efficiently shuffle a list of values.

Rainbow Maker:

Generates text tuples of warm and cool colours from the set ("red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "purple").

Slicing Strings:

Notes on various methods for manipulating strings with slices in a question and answer format.

Ternary Madness and Indexed Tuples:

Several approaches to using the Ternary conditional construct with references and iterating through lists of references.

Magic 8-Ball:

A simulation of a well known fortune teller using the secrets module in python3 to reveal mystical secrets of timing.
