Practical programming skills in Python

Worksheet 1 Recap of Skills

1. Debugging

Rewrite and test the following code, making sure you remove all of the errors.

target = 12
guesses = 0
userChoice = input(“Guess the number: ”)
while userChoice == target
guess = guess * 1
if UserChoice > target:
print(“Guess higher!”)
else:
print(Guess lower!”)
print(“It took you” , userChoice, “guesses”)

2. Inputs & Outputs

Rewrite and test the following code, making sure you remove all of the errors.

worldRecord = False
lane = 1
athlete = input(“Who is in lane” + lane + “? ”)
country = input(“Which country does” + athlete + “represent? ”)
time = input(“Enter the 100m time for” , athlete)

if time < 8.0 or time > 20.0:


time = “invalid”
elif time < 9.58:
worldRecord = True

print(“Competitor: ” , athlete)
print(“Country: ” + country)
print(“Lane number: ” + lane)
print(“100m time: ” + time)
print(“New world record: ” + worldRecord)

3. Arithmetic

Write a program for each of the following tasks:

a. Ask the user for 2 numbers


o calculate the total (add)
o calculate the difference between the 1st and the 2nd (subtract)
o calculate the product (multiply)
o calculate the division of 1st ÷ 2nd
o calculate the floor division (whole number when divided)
o calculate the modulo (remainder when divided)

b. Ask for the length, width and height of a cuboid


o calculate the volume (length x width x height)

c. Ask for 5 numbers


o calculate the total
o calculate the mean average

d. Ask for the radius of a circle (π = 3.14)


o calculate the circumference (2 x π x r)
o calculate the area (π x r2)

e. Ask for a number


o calculate the square of that number (num2)
o calculate that number6
o calculate the square root of that number

Test your program with the following data:

a. 1st number = 13, 2nd number = 5


o Total = 18, Difference = 8, Product = 65,
Division = 2.6, Floor division = 2, Modulo = 3

b. length = 10, width = 5, height = 8


o Volume = 400

c. numbers: 3, 7, 2, 15, 6
o Total = 33, Average = 6.6

d. radius = 6
o Circumference = 37.68, Area = 113.04

e. number = 4

o Square = 16, Number6 = 4096, Square Root = 2

4. Extension

Find a copy of some typical formulae you would need for maths (or physics).

You might have a reminder of the key formulae in your student planner, in a text book or in
your exercise book. If you don’t have one then try searching for “gcse maths formulae”
online.

Create a program that will carry out calculations using a wide range of different formulae –
making sure you can complete the formulae with whole numbers and with fractional
numbers where necessary.

Create a menu system so that the user can choose which calculations to carry out.
